Mechanical series tube

[YorkMan]

Kevlar battery wrap?

 

[YorkMan]

Or double wrap with insulation sandwich.

Or double wrap with insulation sandwich.

That’s how alkaline batteries do it. Layer of insulation and a layer of metal.

 

[YorkMan]

Oh I had no idea!

 

[YorkMan]

Would the typical 18650 fit in our mods with double wrap?

 

[Don29palms]

I’ll soon have five mech mods, glad I bought them. I’m really enjoying my new brass Dreamer!

Did you get the extension tube for it?

 

[YorkMan]

Did you get the extension tube for it?

No I didn’t, don’t know much about extension tubes. Do I need one?

 

[bombastinator]

Oh I had no idea!

I used to take a lot of stuff apart as a kid. The insulation layer is just paper. The inner metal is also thin.

 

[YorkMan]

I guess we need to develop a vaping specific battery, we can do better than that.

Need? Only if you want to stack it but you don't NEED it to enjoy that great mod. I was just curious.

Need? No. Or Not exactly anyway. An extension tube makes the inner chamber longer so more batteries can be put in but the connection between the tube and the extension tube increases the voltage drop. Iirc there was a guy in my area that attached a bunch of extension tubes together and made himself a vape cane back in the day.

So stacked is two batts in series for double voltage?

Exactly.

It was tried at least once iirc. Company made this proprietary clip on one where each battery cost almost what the whole mod did. It failed of course. The problem is there isn’t enough market. Batteries used for vaping are designed for other things. It would have to be a wider market than vaping. Black&Decker also designed some single 18650 “power packs” for their low end home accessories once. Also proprietary of course.

 

[YorkMan]

Too bad. I’d buy some.

 

[bombastinator]

Yep. Makes for a long goofy looking light saber like device though.

I don’t think the vape cane guy actually filled the thing with batteries though. It was many years ago.

I can't even. What kinda coil would be needed to vape at 36-42v?

As did Ryobi:

I have a bunch of these. When one finally gives up the ghost, I will open it up to find out exactly what's in it.

 

[YorkMan]

BTW I blew through the open top of the Dreamer with the bottom cap in place, the vents seem pretty open.

Well lets see ......................
8 watts and 42v would need a 220 ohm coil


What I don't like is that the FDA will demand that PV's will be so junked up with safety devices that they are to big to carry.
