Anyone else having problems getting samples from TI.com? I try to add the 8100 to my samples cart, it shows up in there, but will not let me change the quantity from "0" no matter what I do...

I had just signed up yesterday, haven't gotten samples from them in years. If push comes to shove I'll buy a couple, my LT is falling apart and I need to get something else up and running....lol
Edit: Won't let me add the 8060 either.......lol

I believe the Maruta OKR's are the same pinout and you will achieve the same voltage range with the same resistor/pot combo. That would be a cheaper alternative if you're forced to buy a new regulator.
I must say this thread is one of the reasons I like this forum. I am new to vaping but not to electronics. Bigblu's time and everyone else made this easy enough for most to actually do. I now want to make this! I have started some long term threads on other forums and understand the time involved. Very nice stepped regulator makes this so far beyond what I have seen for sale. Im amazed someone hasnt started building something available for sale using this regulator. I will contribute with pictures of my progress but still have to order parts etc etc. I read the entire thread. For now I am still concentrating on staying away from analogs but will be building this quite soon.
Sorry if it's been answered before, what kind of 20 AWG wire did you rewire the box with?
Is it Stranded wire, Solid wire, or Bell Wire?

I think this thread is sticky material! The only new board that may be better is the DNA. I'm not convinced of that either. Just for the easy to follow wiring diagrams and shopping lists this is perfect for someone new wanting to make a highly efficient vv box mod. The time and effort spent writing this makes it a real shame not to be preserved as a sticky.
Has anyone found a 200 ohm pot for this that ISN'T a flippin trimmer? Bourns is OOS on most of their crap, est lead time ~14 weeks....I could go with a wirewound, but jeez, don't really want the pot to be the most expensive part in the mod..
Like the Otter Box
Love the other, what kind of box is that and where could I get one?

Hi,
Just thought Id like to share my weekend project with you lot. And to thank Big blue for the idea of using the PTR08100!
I have started into the world of genesis atties, and have got myself a VHG and a DiD... but as my weapon of choice for running atties so far was a Gripper VV, I had to make changes, as the PWM doesn't suit the gennies. I have a few mechanical mods that I built, but I wanted to be able to ramp up/down the voltage to suit the coils, and also so I can have a consistent vape the rest of the time.
I had two choices, buy one, or make one.
As I had a load of bits lying around, and a few 18650 batteries that didnt fit the gripper, I thought, why the heck not, and built my own one to see how it came out.
I ended up with a bit more of a beast than I intended, but here is what I wanted to achieve:
Plenty of power
Looooooong battery Life
Voltage readout of true voltage/battery voltage
So here is what I built:
Not the smallest, but nice and neat (in my opinion)
Here it is in my hand with a Vivi Nova for size, showing output voltage
With a vivi Nova on top, and 2x18650 batteries for size comparison
And with a DiD, which is what I plan on using it with until I get a bigger genny
Now for the technical part for those who are interested:
Features:
Variable voltage 3.3v to 5.5v range, up to 10A output.
Dual 18650 batteries (currently fitted with 2x2250 Sennybor IMR batteries)
Battery/Output voltage display (switch-able)
Master kill switch (for pocket safeness)
510 connector
Uses a PTR08100W from TI for voltage control, with over-current protection built in.
Most parts UK sourced and bought, total cost (including batteries):
approx £40
Well worth it in my mind to end up with a box that does what I want, and gives a nice stable output, and lets me use my genesis devices the way I want to, and a warm fuzzy feeling, cos I made it myself (Just like the coil/wick assembly)
Thanks for reading, and comments on a post(card)
Now just to name this beast! any ideas?

Like it... and I have a name for it finally
"The bomb squad bait box" so named after an incident that happened in the UK, the day before I took up vaping - a bus load of passengers was forced out at gunpoint after someone reported vapour coming out of a box - later found to be a PV....
And I must say, I am loving the performance of this mod - nice stable voltage, and I get 3 days minimum from a set of batteries - I can certainly handle changing the batteries twice a week... Im so impressed by it, that Im considering building another mod with the same circuit....
Thanks again Big Blue for starting the longest thread I have ever read
