and turn the pot to the half way point and the resistance is?

and turn the pot to the half way point and the resistance is?

I don't know that is why I was asking someone who maybe knew. I don't have these parts on hand yet. I was trying to find out prior to purchase. I went through and searched the thread for the answer and put together the idea based on what I found thinking it might be ok?

 

[Rocketman]

I'm not sure what you are trying (over 100 pages in this thread ).
But a 200,000 log taper ohm pot shunted by a 200 ohm resistor gives a range from 0 to almost 200, but at the midpoint it is about 182 ohms. Less than 20 ohms change for half the range.

I am trying to use a pot that is appealing and functional from outside the mod vs the tiny screwdriver type.

 

[Rocketman]

For a total of 200 ohms?
Can you locate a 500 ohm linear pot that has the appeal you want? and a 330 ohm resistor.

Or a 1000 ohm linear or log pot and a 250 ohm resistor?

 

[kenetix]

500 OHM Linear Taper Potentiometer + Resistors 330 Ohms OHM 1/4W 5% Carbon Film

just solder the resistor on to the 1 leg then for the 200 ohms in series then instead of the other way?

Actually I think I seen this answered... I will find it. Thanks for help

Another PTR08060 powered creation

I can get my mods to function well, just need to work on the look

 

[matador]

Fixed the crooked LCD earlier.. Looks a little better

 

[matador]

Just finished a dual 18650 mod.. 2 mods in one night! This is definitely one of the better looking mods i've built so far.

Size comparison to a Infinity Pro

The gutts are pretty tight, but it all fits

Wrapped the regulator with heat shrink.... not sure if thats a bad idea

 

[wolcen]

You've been busy matadorx - nice job! I really gotta get off my .... and start on some builds myself :-/

I was wondering what you are using for a connector that has a nut on one side and a C-clip (or whatever they are called) on the backside? Always looking for ways to reinforce that sucker

The nut came off of a barrel connector in a coax wall plate. It isnt threaded to the connector and doesn't hold anything in place, I just use is as a spacer so I can use a tank on the mod. The only thing holding that connector in is gobs of hot glue. So far the hot glue holds up in all my mods, never had an issue with the connectors breaking loose. If you want a stronger reinforced connector Madvapes has one that comes with a threaded 'nut' to hold it in place. But unfortunately they will rape your wallet in the process, their like $7.00 I've used JB weld to hold them in and that works great.

 

[wolcen]

Thank you. I found those same connectors with the nut for $3 at smartvapes.com

Shorty 510-510 Extension/Conector with nut - $2.99 : SmartVapes Electronic Cigarettes, Electronic Cigarette

 

[matador]

Thats awesome! At 2.99 I think I might try a few of those. Thanks for the link.

Here's another creation using a PTR08100. My first wood mod build. Although I wish I could take credit for building the wood box itself.

 

[Java_Az]

I like a little bit of mod with my glue too. j/k looks good.

This thread is not a sticky yet Them there moderators are entirely over paid.

 

[matador]

yea, lots of glue, lol I thought maybe it would help reinforce the battery bay.

Need more glue to make it a sticky......LOL

 

[bigblue30]

Matadorx... I love the wood box.

Thanks, I wish I could take credit for crafting the wood. My wood working skills aren't very finely honed, you can tell by how crappy I cut out the volt meter hole

 

[Cool_Breeze]

Wondering about 'glue,' etc., used to hold parts in place and such. Might someone post a link or otherwise identify specific products?

Also, how easy/difficult are parts that are potted like some displayed here, to remove, replace or otherwise service?

What's the good, the bad and the ugly..?
