Just 1x 3.6v cell powered mod--incredible performance...

[mjp808]

As I puff away the last few days, I'm really amazed and happy with my mod that uses only 1x 16340 cell @ 3.6v:

DealExtreme: $5.50 TrustFire Protected 16340 880mAh 3.6V Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (2-Pack)

Good strong vapor, throat hit, and surprisingly long battery life, and compact. When I multimetered them, they seem to stay just above 4v for a while. I'm sure it's going much easier (compared to the widely accepted/used maddog 2xcr2@6v design)on the atomizer also. When I built my magnum, it fried my atomizer.

Just something to consider if you're going to DIY and are concerned about atomizer life. I highly recommend trying this configuration. Aloha!

Thanks for the info Mjp. I have been planning to do a single 14500 mod just so i can keep it small.

very cool. thanks for sharing that

Awesome, glad i went with the cree flashlight that takes 1 cr2.. was really thinking of doing a 6 volt.

I agree mjp, my mod using that same battery with a penstyle atomizer is great. Tons of vapor, and very powerful throat hit. Plus they seem to last at least 3X as long as my regular e-cig batteries.

When drawing high current as heater coils do, a battery's internal resistance is a major factor in performance. Seems the CR2 is outstanding in this regard.

Can you use the same charger for the CR2 3v batteries for the 3.6v you listed?

Glad to see you are still experimenting and this is working well. How long do the batteries last? On another note I have tried the 4.5 volt 1600ma radio shack adapter you used on your fugly and have cooked 2 901 atomizers in 2 days. I think I may need to put a resistor in the circuit to drop the amps. How has it worked for you?

Been lurking on the e-cig-forum board for awhile now and have been wanting to try out some of the mods but I'm still not really sure how to do it. I liked your water pipe conversion and the really simple mod you made about not going on a plane. How would I go about making them. I understand everything but exactly where to soldier what to what and this has been the only thing stopping me from doing my own mods for awhile. How much electrical or circuit knowledge is needed, in your opinion?

Date stamp for his last activity says May 3rd. Maybe he's just lurking for a bit.
