Anyone interested in a 5V Chuck?

[Ralph T]

I figured out how to turn a 6V Chuck into a 5V (5.2V actually) Chuck with a common 75 cent part and some tedious soldering, bending and fitting. I was just wondering if there is any interest in a 5 V Chuck?

This would probably only be useful on the big Chuck as you cant get the little Chuck to run at 6V to begin with (that I know of).

yes , can you expalin how to do this?

Don't you pretty much get 5v using an HV atty? That's what I've been using for a couple weeks and its a lot better than the standard atty.

Yes. You should be able to get the gist of it from this thread.

Out of respect for Jeff, I will not be posting pictures of this on the Chuck.

You get something more equivalent to 5V as your HV atty has a higher resistance (ohms) than a normal atty, thus less current flows, and there is less power (watts) produced for a given battery voltage. Its really all about watts. Watts are rarely spoken of in vape world.

The formula for figuring out watts is Volts²/Ohms = Watts

So, if you put a normal 510 (about 2.2 ohms) atty on a 6V mod you get... Wait for it... 16.36 watts. A pretty hot experience. However, the same atty on 5V would be 11.36 watts. And at 3.7V thats 6.22 watts.

So, I suspect that to give you a 5V experience at 6V, your HV attys are about 3.2 ohms, which is about what a cartomizer is by the way.
