Homemade USB passthrough

[neonerz]

Well a couple weeks ago I had the idea to make a USB passthrough.

Couldn't be hard I thought.

I went out to radio shack last night to pick up a few useful things (voltage regulators, momentary buttons, leds, etc), and tonight I started it.

I decided to scrap the voltage regulator and 5v directly to the atomizer.

Couple hours and solder burns later, I had a USB passthrough passing 5v to the atomizer.

I excitedly screwed on the atomizer and took the first hit. WOW was there a ton of vapor. I was in heaven. A few people noticed that the white batts hit harder then others, well this made the white batts look like nothing.

Now heres the bad news. After taking a few hits, guess what happen? Bye Bye atomizer. Just to confirm, I screwed the atomizer onto a working battery, and nothing.

So what did we learn?

The sidesho atomizers don't respond well to 5v.

I seen someone mention that they were using 5v with their 902, would a 902 atomizer fit the battery enclosure of a sideshow? I hate to throw away all this work I did.

Yes. 902 atties fit on a Sidesho batt. So it should work. Well, it will fit at least, I have no idea whether it will blow up or not. Good luck!

902 atty's rock at 5 volts. Been using one at 5v for 3 weeks or so.

I just got the 902 atomizers in for testing. They KILL at 5v. The clouds of vapor and throat hits are amazing.

Also for further reference the 902 atomizer fits better on a sideshow battery then the sideshow atomizer fits on a 902 battery (they do fit though in all combinations).
