I am Vap Engineer, I am a young mechanical engineer with a love for electronics and technology, I am quite tech savvy. I have evolved through many electric cigarette designs and have finally settled on the best. I now am confident in my product and have begun small scale production.

My product features the consistent fantastic performance of 5 volts. The beauty is just that, it is consistent performance until the batteries literally shut off from auto protection. I only use 510 connections. I love the 510 atty's. For you silly single cell fans out there, I implore you, yes, I implore you to consider stepping it up a notch. See when you vape a fully charged single cell lithium, you are actually running at 4.2 volts! and you know you love it the most when it is fully charged... therefore, even if you have a huge battery capacity, you still find yourselves charging your batteries constantly to get that preferred performance. Well step it up! The jump from 4.2 to 5 volts is not unreasonable! Due to the brilliant voltage regulator, the performance does not suffer at all. If your batteries are fully charged putting out 4.2 each or almost dead approaching 2.75 each, the output is just the same, effectively giving a much longer battery life than any single cell product out there.

I have fallen in love with the horn switch, it has the best tactile feedback. I also have boxes for sale with a 'mini-micro' switch. They are smaller than a standard micro switch but still carry up to 5 amps witch makes them perfect for this application. Still I have a couple other boxes with different switches in them, just look at my main picture for the variety.

A favorite feature on my box design is the 3 mm blue indicator light. It is carefully placed just above/in front of the switch so that it can easily be seen and easily be covered by the fingers so discrete vaping can be enjoyed, such as in a movie theater (personal favorite;).

Another great feature is the built in charging connector. It is great because you never have to open the box anymore! You can even screw on the faceplate to make it more legit. Please listen carefully, it does NOT have a charger built into the box. It must be charged with my specific two cell charger (or similar 8.4 V 1 amp Two cell lithium [smart]charger). You can NOT charge it from a 5 volt source, (aka usb, computer, cell phone charger...ect) please understand that in order to achieve That goal, the box would have to use a single battery and a booster regulator, which are incredibly expensive, then the box has to have a built in charging board...which happen to be incredibly slow chargers too. SO, buying this kit from me means you charge with my charger. OR you can remove the batteries and put them into any of the intelligent lithium chargers on the market (which I also sell as an option, they charge any size cylindrical lithium cell [good for people who may turn this into a hobby]). Cool.

So that sums up my product. Fantastic 5 volt consistent performance from 510 connection attys, great battery life, comfortably mounted side horn switch, clever placed 3 mm blue indicator light, built in charging connection, and built in master switch.

My product comes in a small kit, if you do not need listed items P/M or email me and we can set up a custom order and price.

Comes with the 5 volt box explained above, two 14500 lithium batteries (900 mah), Wall Charger for use with built in connector, two 510 Bauway atomizers, two black flat tip cartridges, 3 bottles of 3 ml of e-liquid your choice of 3 flavors Ras/black berry, vanilla custard, spearmint/wintergreen your choice in 3 nicotine levels, 0/15/30 mg/ml. Additional e-liquid can be ordered with main product at a high price of $3 a bottle this is because I personally do not want to be an e-liquid dealer.

Lastly included in every purchase, is a 2 page document about all the information I feel is relevant to any Vaper. It includes current legal laws, my simple educational explanation as to how an e-cig works. Potential health aspects to consider from regular cigarettes versus e-cigs. A basic raw calculation of the cost of smoking analog (aka normal) cigarettes based on a pack a day, versus the cost of maintaining that habit (not addiction) with electric cigarettes. Last on the document is a list of my favorite essential websites.

You made it through my long introduction post! I bet your ready to know the cost. The cost of the whole kit listed is $95. I accept cash (not sure how to handle that yet), Paypal, and yes credit card. No I do not have a website, I am saving up for that and possibly someday a whole store run by myself and my other e-cig hobby friends.

Vap Engineer.

p.s. If you have suggestions for new box features or advice, I would be grateful. Please be kind in my forum, if you have anything negative to say or express, I do welcome it via private message or email.

I will add photos as soon as ECF allows me, something about my quota being over...My profile picture is adequate for now.

Here are some pictures I finally got to post...ECF error but they resolved it. :)

yea I can help with that. understand that when you vape a fully charged single cell unit (not regulated) you are vaping at 4.2 volts. So if you actually set your variable voltage unit to 3.7 it may not be a satisfactory experience. I would recommend that from 3.3-3.8 or so, you would enjoy the power of a low resistance atomizer. from 3.8-5 a standard resistance, and up from 5 volts a High resistance atomizer. This would be my preferences tho. Yours will vary depending on how much power you enjoy, which is basically based on how strong of a throat hit, flavor, and vapor you prefer.

The amount of power is what you are changing on a variable voltage unit. power is rated in watts. In this situation its really pretty simple math. voltage X current. using ohms law you can calculate what your current is based on the voltage and resistance of your atomizer. V=IR. (voltage=current X resistance). for example. a Standard atomizer of resistance 3.0 ohms. regulated 5 volts. here we plug in the numbers to find the current in amps that you are pushing through that atomizer. 5/3 = 1.66 amps. Now from here it is a short jump to calculate the power that you are generating. P=VI. 5*1.66 =8.3 watts.

From the simple math you can see that changing your voltage is effectively changing the amount of current you push through each atomizer. and by changing the current and voltage you are really changing the power output of your unit. So the question becomes how much power do you enjoy? Now be careful if you do use all three types of atomizer standard/LR/HV then you must learn not to push too much current through them. each one has a different gauge(size) nichrome wire or different length to adjust the resistance to standard, low, or high. Trying to push too much current through too much resitance is like putting watter 60 psi (standard house water pressure) through a narrowing straw. eventually the pressure (voltage) and current(amps) becomes too much and the straw bursts just like a nichrome wire will break.

I hope this information helps. also, there are about 20+ other places in ECF you can find similar answers to your question.

You will never be "vaping at 4.2 volts' with a Li-Ion battery.
