5V/USB Passthrough Proof of concept

[USMC.CAR]

'Like the title says, this is just a proof of concept, haven't figured out how to rip out the e-cig battery connection yet. (Any info on this would be appreciated.) This is more of a novelty PV obviously, but I think it should work pretty well. The left mouse button will be the switch.

A mouse?! Haven't seen that one yet!
Might be kinda awkward to vape on - but it'll work...

If you search the threads, there are a couple of good posts on how to rip the battery apart, most involve heat and time...

 

[Quikijiki]

man that looks awkward, but hey they're not really designed to be seen by the public anyways hahaha! If it works, im all for it!

Most would take "proof of concept" to mean a rough but working initial prototype.

Does it vape?

I ripped the battery connector out of a dead 510 batt with a dremmel. I did scuff the battery a couple times though which makes me want to not recommend it, but it worked.

You can also buy the connectors from madvapes.com, and other places you can find around the forums (I know I saw a thread in the modders forum offering them. That's what I'll be doing in the future.

It seems like I`ve see one of these somewhere. But that could have been in my dreams.


If it`s a manual 510 battery the rubber switch can just be popped right out

The hard way,
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/111080-inside-510-manual-battery.html
I used a dremel cut off disc and cut my first one open from one end to the other.

The easier safer way,
The 2nd one was cut down at the connector for the atty. A cut at a 45 and then a small screw driver to raise the tin. Then grab the tin with a set of pliers and twist them like you was opening a can of sardines with the key they give you. Then slowly pull the battery and all right out.

Thanks. So I'm almost done with this one now. I just realized I don't have any normally open push switches laying around, thought I did. :O I measured the voltage today and was getting anywhere from 5.4 to 6V, so I guess I did good. Right now I've got a 1980s era single pole, double throw switch on there, which actually looks kind of cool.

Unloaded voltages are meaningless. A 5V 100mAh USB adapter will read 5V as will a 1000mA one. Neither will fire a Joye 510. To put it another way a 5V 1000mAh power source, unloaded, will show 5V. Hook it to a Joye 510 atty and hit the button and you'll get 2.2V (loaded, vaping volts).

I guess that makes sense. Voltage is max across an open, so without a load there is technically an open and the voltage is at max.

It's been a little over a year since I messed around with such basic circuits, so I am a little rusty. I usually deal with the passing of data and amplification of frequencies to be radiated.

Here is what you need for that amp hungry pig.

2 amp AC to USB Adapter, ideal for Passthroughs

 

[USMC.CAR]

Haha, yes, I have one, I've been using my iPhone adapter.

 

[5cardstud]

1st one I ever saw and it is a fine one. Congrats and how does it vape? OOh-rah!

Whatever the hell that is.

There's a lot of stuff that has been discussed on these forums. Volts, amps, watts especially.

You can use this for some quick calculations.

In short, I work on radars. Thanks for the info.

mmmm radar.... im still waiting for my car to have radar...


as a side note , very interesting on the mod. i bet you could just tap into the power circuitry , so that you would still have a working mouse , and a vape... makes a good use for that middle mousewheel click....

[USMC.CAR]

I was actually thinking about that, after I slaughtered the mouse. xD

 

[hova]

hey man , thats the way it happens.

you got two normally open pushbutton switches right in front of you. with a little tweaking , you could have left click do 3.7v and right click 5v/+ ...

as for battery connectors , you gotta be careful but i always have had to peel the metal away like a sardine can. last time i was being careless and had to get 3 stitches in my palm....


its nothing compared to trying to whittle wood with a screwdriver when i was a kid , and shoving a wide flathead from one side to the other of my palm...

Ouch, sounds like one heck of a battlescar.

 

[hova]

nah just a couple dots on the sides of my hand...all i remember about it was i couldnt pull it out , and when my cousin did , it sprayed blood all over us...we thought it was awesome , but my mom thought way different...
