note - last night for some reason the booster would shut off after 3-5 seconds hit at higher volts (anything above 5V under load). i was vaping on the same 18650 batt for almost 2 days without charging it. i replaced with a fresh charged one and all went back working as it should. Nuck said that it could be the atty that had its resistance lowered somehow and today that same atty is acting funny even on different devices so he was probably right...

Joye 510 atty users should note this from the datasheet:
· Up to 12 W Output Power
At 5V you've pretty much hit that. Joye users should probably stay a hair below 5V. Carto and Clone users (actually any atty > 2.8Ω) should be good to go for 5.5V.

my box needs a name... any suggestions?

The D-Sharp D-Light.

Very nice and feature packed. All it needs now is the proverbial kitchen sink. :D

You can actually push the 12W limit by quite a bit, perhaps because we only do intermittent hits. Even the 2.4 amp limit isn't a hard cap. People use it at 4.3v with a LR 1.5 ohm atty (2.8-2.9 amps) without issue.

The biggest problem is that the resistance of an atty can drop over time. I've measured 2.3-2.3 ohm 510's dropping to 1.8-1.9 ohms quite often. Once you combine 5.1v with 1.8-1.9 ohms the draw will cause a shutdown.

If the problem is lower resistance you can turn down the voltage and it should clear. If the problem is an actual intermittent short within the atty or in the adaptor then the shutdown will be continuous (and annoy the hell out of you).

Well that's good to know. Data sheets vs. our actual use makes sense. And although a bit pricey (compared to other manufacturers) my experience with TI stuff has always been positive, well built and solid performance with almost no sample to sample variances.
