Mini Shotgun Mod

[boondongle]

After my first dual atomizer mod didn't work as I'd hoped, I whipped up a smaller version, with the atomizers at a decent distance from each other. It runs off a single 10440, so you definitely need to have several batteries to get through a day, but I'm planning on adding in a USB charging circuit.

cool!! but you must have a bigggg mouth to fit both those in at once lmao

 

[boondongle]

According to my caliper, they're only 14mm apart. Big mouth not required.

looks dangerous..

 

[SmilingSlasher]

Nice!! Button looks like it might be a bit akwardly placed.......but nice.

 

[boondongle]

You could easily mount the button on the side, if you prefer, but I have made a few with the button on the top, and it feels much nicer to me.

wow..is there much voltage drop while using the 10440 with two atomizers...are the atty's parrellel or in series?

 

[boondongle]

They are connected in parallel. Each atomizer connection reads 4.2v with a fully charged battery, so I don't think voltage is reduced, but battery life certainly is.

Twice the amperage of a single - you're beating that battery to DEATH!!!

How else ya gonna learn em?

 

[mnealtx]

LOL....

"Bad battery...bad!!!"

I can hear that poor battery whimpering every time he presses the button. After 10 presses it starts crying hysterically and quits producing.

 

[boondongle]

Well, ya gotta show em who's boss, or they start misbehaving.

Looks like I beat them too hard. All the batteries I've used in this mod no longer work properly. They show proper voltage, but only work for one inhale. Then they trail off to nothing, even though when I check the voltage, it's still fully charged. I only had one 10440 that I didn't use in the shotgun, and that's the only battery that works properly anymore. Ugh...I killed five out of my six batteries. Just figured I'd put this out there as a warning.

 

[opuscroakus]

At least they died for a good cause!

 

[Col. Gaunt]

What about mounting at least a 14500 in it? I know it will make it larger but it would be either that or twin 10440's

 

[boondongle]

Well, those would certainly be viable options, but I'm trying to keep it from getting too big. It was a struggle just fitting the two atomizers, a switch, and one 10440 in a 3xAAA box.
