Battery's and outputs, for usb charging e-cig build

[ShaneV]

hi guys, just new to the forum. i am interested in doing a mod that has a USB charging unit built into the battery/juice compartment.

i don't know what batteries to use. i have at the moment a: BCA 18650 3000mAh 3.7V li-ion battery and chargeing unit i was hoping might work with one of these atomizers.

HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

any info regarding building a modded box like this would be very helpfull.

So.. I don't like to throw things away, and Like a lot of poor fools I dropped $70 on a blu kit before i did my vaping homework.
I still have it and last night i took it apart. what i found inside was a spring loaded female connector, a board to regulate charging of batteries, and a lithium based battery cell of some kind.

the latter was what i was looking for b/c I noticed that the input to the pack was just a usb cable adapted to a coaxial plug.
so i knew that inside the PCC was a battery with sufficient voltage and amperage to really rock a carto.

BUT THEN>>>

when i looked at how the battery was connected to the board i saw that the terminals of the battery were in parallel with the coaxial input from the usb 5v source. no resistor, no diode, no regulator(except the charging board maybe?)

I'm left to assume that the battery is charging directly off the current supplied by the usb, OR that the board is somehow actively limiting its own load to buffer the charge.

Another odd note: the only markings on the battery other than a few strings of numbers is the batterys rating given in "Wh": 3.33Wh. watts per hour. i'm very tempted to just charge it up and hook it up to a carto and see what happens. coud be good could do nothing. if it burns the carto, I've got plenty.

what do you guys think?

That is 3.33 watt hours, not watts per hour. Watts per hour is a non existent unit.

I think you'd be better off finding a friend who smokes and passing the blu along. That's what I've done with my old gear.

Well, they're done now.
