    Blu Charger on 510 Battery

    I know this has been asked, and the answer is always the same. You can't use a blu charger on a 510 because the polarity is switched. So if I understand correctly, I can just switch the red and black wires in the blu charger, and it should work fine on a 510 battery? I'm never going back to...

    How to: Build the Puck

    Some pics of my latest puck mod. Single 4xAAA battery holder from ratshack: $1.79. 510 battery connector from madvapes: $1.99 Soldered the red from battery connector directly to battery spring, black to switch output. Took about 30mins to build: Thanks again Puck!

    this passthrough from madvapes is the best thing I've ever vaped. possibly the best $15 I've ever spent. works great on ac adapter, or in a car adapter, or directly on a usb port. with this and my custom puck mods, I'm all set.

    NewB sick of Blu

    Found a couple things after spening some time playing with my usb mod at work today. 1) If I keep sucking on the driptip for a couple seconds after releasing the button I don't get any liquid on the connector; I guess there was excess vapor that would leak down onto the connector? 2) When...

    I must've missed a post or two. Blu's are def 510. I know this because all the leftover blu carts I had fit perfectly into my 510 connectors. On another note, I've figured out that my direct usb mods aren't having a power issue at all, they're having a leaking issue. Whenever one stops...

    I've found that sometimes I need to press the button, release it, the press and hold and it works fine from then on. Not sure if there's some kinda voltage regulation going on from the usb port causing this.

    My usb mods are getting a bit fidgety...sometimes I hold the button for a good 10 seconds and nothing happens at all. I'm wondering if there's something in the usb port/usb charger causing an issue or if I have a short in both mods?

    Zero Volt Mod?

    also on the subject of camping, I wonder if one could bulk vaporize a bottle of e-liquid and store it in gaseous form in a pouch or bag of some sort with a one way valve on it...

    Here's a couple more quick mods I threw together for direct usb power. This one is in the dollar store flashlight where I got the previously used 3xAAA battery holder, not bad, very flimsy: After my success with the last mod, I just finished this one. Also a direct usb mod, this time I stuck...

    Zero Volt Mod?

    and of course, this isn't an original idea at all... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/59979-has-anyone-attempted-mod-hand-crank-flashlight-yet-2.html http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/221332-noob-checking-run-your-life-2.html

    Zero Volt Mod?

    This one looks perfect. It even has a "USB Cell Phone Charger" so it's already got perfect voltage for 510. Looks like it's just a rechargeable battery so there's no cranking while your vaping, just crank and puff! FRYS.com | Grundig Eton

    Zero Volt Mod?

    This gave me a whole 'nother idea...build a "human" powered mod, using one of those hand powered flashlights where you squeeze a handle or turn a wheel which generate the voltage. Just stick some resistors in there to get the voltage right, plug in a connector and BAM! :evil: Zero Volt Mod...

    Zero Volt Mod?

    This seems almost too simple to ask, but I'm a simple kinda guy, so I'll ask anyway. What's stopping a vaper from vaping e-liquid with a regular 'ol heat source, other than a voltage powered atomizer? Say I just stick some liquid into a sorta (OTHER ITEM) lookin thing, heat it with a lighter...

    Anyone vape at work?

    I've been toying with the idea of vaping at work....I have a fairly secluded cubicle that noone ever walks by. After learning a couple of my co-workers in a similar role vape regularly at their very public desks, I gave it a go today. It felt great but I still felt like I was doing something...

    How to: Build the Puck

    Just finished making my first puck(mini)(tanker) using a 4xAAA battery holder and 510 tankomizer. I stuck it all inside a 4xAA battery holder to conserve pocket space, kinda similar to the "half-sized puck", but without the button and LED, and with internal storage for the tank...

    My first few quick mods worked great, so I decided to go ahead and stick it all in a box, started with an altoid tin: After playing around with the multimeter decided to upgrade to 4xAAA, copied the Puck Mod, but stuck it all into a 4XAA battery holder instead of 2XAAA holders to save room...
