So I just took the application notes of the LM338t IC , gave it a solid state switch and stuck a voltmeter module in it, what I ended up with was a very bulky vaporizer.

My aim is to write a guide on it, the next step is that I'm going to take the standard charger, gut it and put jumpers on it so you could also have your self a variable positive voltage supply.

One issue I have with it getting smaller is that the heat that is generated by the ICs would be a big issue if I don't plan on heatsinking them. I'll have to make an extra thermal cut out, no need for a micro controller.

My biggest fear with this thing is I actually want to show people how to go ahead and make one of their own but I don't think the original intent of the device would be understood and forgotten of. So I'm still thinking of way that in the event of a misuse it renders its self useless in the hands of someone with aims to take it to an evil level.
