Just For LM2596 Users

[WolfeTX]

Hey a little more help from yall awesome people..

Would this pot work if i removed the onboard one and wired this one to the lm2596 board?

Thanks for any help!

I've just now discovered this thread after thinking "wouldn't it be nice to have a plug in style vape at home"
What I'm looking for is an AC to DC mod that can be inserted into the end of a Mechanical tube and deliver VV. I'd really like to plug this thing into the wall 120 or 240v and get a consistent vape using the tube. I see that provari has its own passthrough but would that work for any device? My aim is to either find or build something that will allow vaping at sub ohm .6-.8 consistently while having the convenience of a wall plug and a standard tube with firing button. Has it been done? Please direct me. Search just isn't working for me on this one.
Sorry if this is already in this thread. 99 pages is a bit much to sort through.

Are you talking about using a tactile switch with LM2596 regulator boards, or like, using a MOSFET so you can use a tactile switch on straight battery mods?

Hey RatDadJoe. I would like to know the answer to this question for straight battery mods. And if you know of a diagram to point me towards that would be great. Thanks

I have been working on solving the sub ohm part myself, and have been worrying about the amp limit of 3amps.. a 1.5 ohm coil at 5 volts goes over the limit.

I did find this... 5V 10A DC Cnoverter Buck 4 30V 12V to 1 2 30V 5V Adjustable Voltage Regulator | eBay
Still trying to figure if it would work

This has 15 amp limit with a fuse too.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-15A-C...o-1-2-32V-3-3V-5V-24V-Step-Down-/321188865872

Sorry if this is not the place for it. I like the LM board but I am worried that I will exceed the 3amp limit with a coil that is low resistance..

I would think this should be sorted out by now. When I imagined a wall plug passthrough for vaping I thought it was going to be an easy find. I don't understand why there are no battery sized inserts for tubes that would push variable voltage to any battery capable device. I'm going to look into the provari pass through and figure out a way to use it with a mechanical tube.
Where are the boards that allow >3 amps?

On the lm2596 is it possible to take the vv adjustment off and implement switches?

Do you mean removing the VV POT with the screw and using one with a nob?

You can desoder the one with the screw and add something like this - 200K Ohm Linear Taper Potentiometer Pot B200K | eBay

That is close to what I am looking for. I would like to use an up and down switch. Like a rocker or individual tact switches. Is this possible?

it can be done, with enough effort and space

Looks like I need to get with ya and see how it can be done!

With the 2amp limit on these boards what is the limit on coil ohm?

Well I think an LR 1.5 carto at 5volts exceeds the 2 amp limit.

Assuming you run at 5 volts at 2 amps, the lowest resistance allowed would be 2.5 ohms.

At a more normal 4 volts, you could go as low as 2.0 ohms without exceeding the 2 amp limit.

So even at a resonable 4.2 volts with a 1.8 or 1.5 your passing the 2 amp limit

Correct.

At 4.2 volts,
1.8=2.3 amps
1.5=2.8 amps

ok im gonna be gettig into these. looking at different modules i came across this one. this looks like a beast chip and possible to go lower ohms.

Buy an OKR t/10 or 12.

I like that board, but its huge because heatsink, but as a passthru it would be awesome..
