Is 5 volts possible?

[Zaiden]

Besides using a passthrough, is there any possibilty of 5volts using any battery combinations? I think 3.7v is too little and I find 6volts a little too much. 5 volts is just that perfect sweet spot for all my flavors.

Imeo, I know with your philosophy of "nothing is impossible"...how can we make this happen?

 

[Deetz]

Not sure if that's possible but Imeo will definitely know! In the meantime why don't you use 3.7v with a LR atty, or 6v with a HV atty? Should give similar experience.

 

[boomboom]

Definitely possible...I use it all the time. Get some 5 volt batteries and charger from Electro-Nic-Stix the best electronic cigarette in the usa and/or a GG passthru and you're set.

I've never heard Imeo or anyone here mention that! That battery fits, huh? Good to know!

5v batteries? where are you seeing this on their site boom?

 

[Zaiden]

I get leery of buying any batteries from someone I have never heard of. I did some quick research on these batteries and I just don't know if I would trust it. It seems that if the GGTS had a regulator on it, you could adjust 6volts down to 5volts. Am I understanding this correctly? If so, that would rock my world if Imeo created this as an add-on.

Batteryjunction also sells a 5v Batt, I saw it this week and almost got one but left the sight because i got busy with something else, maybe someone could visit batteryjunction.com and follow up on there 5v. They are a good Batt supplier

When I wanted to put a 5 volt option on GG I was trying to think of a way not to put electrical parts in it and I wanted to find a way to make battery lives longer, so I invent the HV atomizers. The advantages of this invention are:

1) i6 at 6 volts produce the same amount of watts, so this combinartion simulates exactly the 5 volt experience. You will not see any diference with an i3 at 5 volts.

2) We dont drain the battery with an i6 at 6 volts as a 5 volt option with an i3. Battery lasts 50% more

3) Atomizer lives longer because 5 volts kill atomizer much sooner

So you will be disapoined by using this combination Zai

Totally agree!!!! 6V rules with the AFS/Carto...waiting for the new AFS to see if it can be matched together with a good attie....

I agree 6v is better but some people do like 5v and with a regular Atty at 3ohms its not bad at all. Taste is very subjective and everyone is different guyz. Look at you Pass through Imeo thats 5v right and its great with a regular Atty on the end of it.

5 Volt NIMH Battery for The Mako Maksi

 

[wolflrv]

That battery says 4.8v and only 400mah..and definitely doesn't look protected. I wouldn't trust that with a ten-foot pole...LOL!

 

[boomboom]

It's NiMH, not Li-ion .....so no protection needed. And, 400 mah is the true mah rating, not overblown like most. I get a solid three hours out of one battery easy. They're cheap and work well for a 5 volt option IMHO.

On a side note, I see that battery junction has 1.2 volt 2000mah batteries with the side solder tabs. One just needs to stack four of these, solder the tabs and shrink warp the set to equal 4.8 volts with huge mah rating. Each battery is on sale for three bucks a piece here: Tenergy NiMh 4/5 Sub C 2000mAh w/ TABS They also have a 30 amp high drain rating!!!! Dimensions are Height 32.5 mm, Diameter 22.25 mm. Would these fit the GGTS?

Never mind. RCR123a batteries are 17mm in width. The 22.5mm is too wide for GGTS.

These would be the ones to get. Dimensions are perfect for width http://www.batteryjunction.com/one2310mahhi.html

Length is an issue though. 4 stacked would be 112 mm long. An 18650 is only 65mm long. You would need the Big Storm extension tube for it to work.

 

[mwa102464]

Boom did you see the 5v Batt over at junction that I saw, and would that work???? I just havent gotten back to junction to see the specs have you

 

[imeothanasis]

I also forgot to say that any regular atomizer at 5 volts has a more burn taste than i6 at 6 volts. i6 at 6 volts is just perfect. 5 volts vaping is an older fashion and useless now.

They are maybe four 1,2 volts batteries in series. I dont know if they are protected

N ice thought boom my friend. I was thinking the same 8 months ago but they cant fit buddy! We need 4 1,2 volt batteries inside GG

 

[emonty]

just get good batteries, that are save and last and a good charger The GG deserves the best. We are cheap on crap batteries and cheap chargers and yet we spend on the GG, juices and atties but forget the engine!!

I agree, i6 at 6 volts is the best. But, 5 volts with cartos is good too. We need higher ohm cartos for 6 volts, which Lisa will soon have!!!!

 

[imeothanasis]

Boom, those batteries in junction look very attractive but I have 2 concerns:

1) You need a new charger for those. The regular chargers cant charge 2 batteries in series

2) I dont know how safe is charging batteries in series but I think its a little dangerous.
