diy iTaste, possibly

[nicnut]

Hello everyone, I have a mod on my brain. Rather consuming my thoughts, I am a bit obsessive.

I want to build a mod similar to a iTaste in that it can charge a MP3 player/cell phone via a USB port, a mini usb port for charging, vv regulator, and a 510 atty.


I am really trying to figure out a parts list and how to solder this thing together. Anybody wanna take a newb under their wing?

Honestly for the price it's going to be hard to beat the itaste. Especially after you find an enclosure, battery, etc.

But with a little research and searching you should be able to find a VV boost module and USB charge boards and etc. but you will likely end up with a larger setup than the itaste when completed.

Yea I figured as much aft some research. Well off to shop for the best price

Here is a good thread for cheap and easy VV http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/259577-just-lm2596-users.html

It would be a good place to start

I actually went ahead and purchased a Innokin iTaste MVP. Had everything I wanted and less work. Although I am trying to work up an idea for a battery pack to run a pass though just in case the MVP goes down on me. Something to leave in the vehicles/work just in case of a vaping emergency!

Sorry I keep coming up with off the shelf solutions, because I like to make things as well. But you can buy battery power supplies for phones and etc. pretty cheap.

LM2596 VV Passthrough

LM2596 module (ebay) - this one is $1.46 - ships from China, so a couple of weeks

RadioShack project box (4"x2"x1")

Switch (Mad Vapes)

Battery connector (Mad Vapes)

Female power jack (ebay) make sure jack and power cord are the same size (these are 2.1mm x 5.5mm)

Car lighter power cord (ebay) - this one has a fuse, would want to check rating on fuse and if it isn't at least 2 amps, replace with at least 2 amp fuse.

Optional AC adapter cord (ebay)

That is really, really easy (even for me) to do. might have to put one of those together.

Thank You TomCatt!

Wow so easy I might have to build one of these to keep in the car!

I am actually setting up a file of links to build a passthrough and a battery powered mod

Almost plug and play. Use a 2.1mm plug instead of the batteries and you have a VV PT.

This is very close to a rig I am going to build but use the same white box TomCatt used. I want to build one up to add to my duck call lanyard. Maybe have a little ring attached to hang from.

I am real happy with these new LM2596. The on off holes in the board are for the switch and you can use a low amp switch like a small tact switch.

so i have decided on the components for my PV

2 x 18650 batteries

Battery charging module with micro usb input and USB 2.0 output

An LM 2596 from post 12

Horn button

A switch installed on the board to switch from voltage from the batteries and going to the atty

Now just gotta figure out the box for the project

Also thinking about some type of camo on the box
