Absolute CAP350R Digital Power 3.5 Farad Car Capacitor
This capacitor obviously can not run a car audio system. It will be discharged in a seconds. 3.5 farad is a very small capacity. Such capacitors used just as a buffer to help the main battery.

Oh darn.

Thought we had found a replacement for the car battery

Capacitors have a sneaky way of blowing off their charge in a hurry. They are good for boosting the average levels of alternating or pulsating voltages in a more complex circuit, but I wouldn't think you'd be happy with one as an ecig power source.

You might just get sudden discharge ...

Hi guys .
I built one from a super capacitor a few years ago http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...on-disposable-battery-design-2.html#post90691.

Was my very first post here .

You need to use a switching regulator though to keep the voltage output of the capacitor stable which falls with each puff .

I only pop back every few months to see how things are going around here lots of changes I see .
