I tried posting this in the New Members forum since I am a new Member.... No body wanted to touch. So now my 5 posts are done, hopefully i can get some answers here.
Situation: I just got done disassembling my EGO VV passthrough (with battery). It is still fully operational but I was considering making it into a direct to wall (with a universal adapter set to proper power, and splicing some wires) type e-cig; or buying an enclosure and connecting a more powerful battery to it. I am no electronics major, but I do enjoy fondling with electronics (Car Sound systems, Computers, Modding Games Systems, etc.)
Question 1: Does anyone know the specifications to the PCBs? Like if there is an amperage limiter of some sorts, or is the 2.5 amp limit only caused by the battery that is currently connected to it? I know it is widely believed that it is 2.5 amps, but I have fired it before on a 1.3 Ohm Coil in a Kanger Protank II @ 6 Volts which is 27.6 Watts @ 4.6 Amps if my math is correct (Dangerous, i know, that was before I didn't know no better).
Question 2: If the limit is only set by the power source, not the PCB(s), and I go the adapter route: Will I be able to "safely" fire the set up above with an adapter (theoretically) set @ 5v with a 10 amp output limit?
Question 3: What is the min/max power input limit for the PCB? Since it is a USB passthrough I am guessing it to be 5 Volts?
Question 4: Has anyone done this to their EGO VV (Either getting a different enclosure and a stronger battery, or turning it into direct-to-wall e-cig with a universal adapter). Any tips would be greatly appreciated, or vendors that sell enclosures (apart from madvapes) for this project.
