    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    Has anyone successfully gotten more than 6V out on the 20A raptor chip?

    thanks. I still haven't figured out how to use reddit. I'm getting old.

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    My second mod build ever. First was an unregulated mosfet dual 18650 in a Hammy 1590g box. This one is regulated with a Naos Raptor 20A chip. It's a custom enclosure that I'm trying to get mass produced. It's kinda like pulling the teeth of a drunken chimpanzee. After completing this build, I...

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    if you calculate the difference in watt hours between the 2s and 3s packs, you can see that there may well be a difference in how long it would last, but in practice, it might not be as much as the math says. I seem to recall from the spec sheet that the raptor chip is more efficient at higher...

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    Thanks, mamu. I am using the SUP75P03 P-ch MOSFET. Am I correct in the belief that I still need the 4.7k dropping resistor between the "on/off" and "gnd" tab on the board as shown in the OP? My intent is to build it "mostly" per that diagram. I'm using the fuses, but omitting the reverse...

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    This may be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyways. Is there a dropping resistor used on the FET, as one would with an unregulated set-up? I haven't seen any reference to it, but there are a few pics in the thread where people have used one.

    Try "tinning" the wire and all solder points first. Then, all you have to do is tack the parts together.

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    Thanks for the heads up, David. In the future, I might try a tact button, but for the first build, It's going into a custom CNC aluminum box originally intended as a unregulated mosfet box. It's already cut for a big gnarly AV button.

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    I've got a few chips on the way, as well as most of the little bits. Still looking for smaller switches to fit inside a 1590g box and a fire button with a smaller "internal footprint." I like the bulger AV button I put in my first mod, an unregulated mosfet box, but it takes up a LOT of space...

    A suggestion for an additional forum feature...

    On RCGroups.com, there is a feature that allows one to bring up only the attachments in a given thread. This lets someone search through big threads by looking at attached pictures, and then back-tracking to the original posts. It would be REALLY cool if this feature got added to this forum...

    Vamped 40 Amp 18650 - 2000 mAh

    I've been much happier with the performance of the VTC5 ove that of the vamped cells in my sub-ohm builds.

    Sticky thread suggestion...

    Could we get a sticky thread for bits and pieces used to build your own mods? Maybe a rating system for the general quality of each of the pieces would make it pretty cool, too. I've got the knowledge to build, but being new, I haven't a clue where most people are getting their part from.

    B&M list by area?

    Thanks everyone. I wasn't just looking for "A" shop. I wanted to find "all" the shops around me and info regarding how good of a shop they were. I found the info I was looking for.

    New member, new vaper...please don't read me the riot act for starting out sub-ohm vaping!

    Thanks. I think I'll end up building something that I can utilize for all the round cells used in vaping. all the 18---series, and maybe even the 26--- batteries. In the past, for charging, testing, etc of A123 cells, I've made packs with balance leads, as I had no use for single cells.

    New member, new vaper...please don't read me the riot act for starting out sub-ohm vaping!

    I'm looking for something like THIS. But I really want something considerably heavier duty. I wouldn't even want to pull 10A through those puny wires. For test jigs, I usually go a bit overkill so i know the jig itself isn't detrimental to the testing. I may end up having to build something...
