and a very nice set of numbers there.
That test is "sticky" category stuff.
Linear regulators, diodes, resistors, to drop voltage and get to the "sweet spot"?
Big waste of watthours
Hats off to you blue.

I really want to try my hand at making a variable mod, but where the heck do you find these chips? The only two sites I have been able to find them on have them at least on 6 month backorder.
You did not hear it from me.......
Plug-in Power Modules - Non-Isolated POL - PTR08100W - TI.com
Look under the "movie"
or here:
Linear Regulators - Single Channel LDO - UCC383-ADJ - TI.com
I'm Looking at my BUZZ right now... and that little tiny brass screw looks just like the one on my Buzz. And I can see the beginnings of that blue box behind it.
If it is the same POT, nice choice.

I have never seen a Buzz up close and I do not know what he uses in his. I will say that he did help me out a lot when I first started making mods. Making a mod in a box is a lot easier then coming up with a cool looking device.

Thanks rocket man.
Are you some sort of 'green' guy worried about your carbon footprint?and a very nice set of numbers there.

So, I didn't see the purchase option because the "free" sample option caught my eye first. I've already got a FEDEX tracking number for it. I guess I should be getting it next week.
ordered one as well, they think I'm using it for ATE at work
thanks blue! Great mod here, have been tossing around building another one, this post pushed me to do it!
Nay, that's the wife, the 'swamp lady'.Are you some sort of 'green' guy worried about your carbon footprint?
I worry more about guarding the perimeter (after the total collapse of the world economy) and my e-cig battery going dead before my watch is over because I was vaping on an inefficient mod
That's what Fedex says. So where do you guys order your electronic components from? I only ask because there are a ton of websites to order from.
21blackjack,
They are so many to choose from....Here are a few I use:
3XAA battery holder with built in switch. I also git my resistors here:
http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&productId=216144&catalogId=10001&freeText=216144&app.products.maxperpage=15&storeId=10001&search_type=jamecoall&ddkey=https:OrderItemAdd
14500 batteries.
TrustFire Protected 3.7V 900mAh 14500 Lithium Battery (2-Pack)
atty or carto connector
Connectors
5 amp push switch. I have a local supplier for these so my cost is much cheaper.
Otto Engineering
I am sure others will jump in with some more.

I actually found everything at digi-key. My cart came to around $20 for the caps, resistors, POT, switch, and PCB. I planned on getting everything else from madvapes (battery box, led, and 510 connector). This sure is going to end up a little more expensive than my $8 box mod!
Sorry if its been answered before, but where did u get the caps from and which model? thanks
I got them from the bay...He is not there anymore, But they were just like these:
Tantalum 100uf 20v

Ok, I was able to find everything (except the 510 connector) on digikey. Total came to $20. So all in all, this mod should cost me less than $30 to build, if I don't screw something up. I'm going to have to go buy some new tips for my soldering iron because the only one that works right now is the fat tipped one. I really want to try to get the thumb wheel potentiometer to work, but I ordered the regular pot. just in case I can't get it to fit.
Madvapes: mainly extra parts for more 3.7v boxes
DigiKey: total came to $28 after shipping
I used the specs from the OP for all of the parts for the adjustable mod. The rest of the stuff is so I can build an extra 4 3.7v mods for my friends at work.
