I am fairly new to vaping and I cam up a nifty little rig pretty quickly, Walmart sells a 4 port usb hub. Got some of the usb chargers and bingo, all done... (i am a firm believer in the KISS method...) lol I'll post a picture if wanted...

V4L USB chargers are what price (X4), and how about a four port charger?
I would like images and a price if you don't mind.
Awsome idea!!!
To lonercom: Im not a hose monkey but the first thing that comes to mind is.... "FIRE HAZARD!"
cool tho.

Ok, this was honestly something i threw together in about 20 minutes. The outer box portion was a plastic box that was used in the center console from my old truck, it was gonna just go in the garbage anyway. I cut a small hole in both sides of it for the wire, and the 4th usb port on the other. the USB hub i already had laying around, but i know its the same one they sell at walmart for i think 10 bucks or so...
I also already had 3 of the usb chargers. (one is being lent out) I also had this foam stuff that was in a package for something, and I used an old soldering iron to melt the holes int he foam to keep cartos organized.
So basically i look at my cost being nothing since I already had it laying around. Im sure a lot of you do also.
(i need two more posts to be able to link the pics)

The side usb port is perfect for my PCC
Plastic Zip ties hold my world together at times.... lol
Then I also used a USB extension to go to the wall outlet.
Made from junk laying around and i think it turned out nice. (I wast going for looking great, just practical... I'm sure if i spent more than 20 minutes on it, I could have made it nice with wood or whatever..)
Here is the only working prototype in the US
I have the same type setup.
lol Yea, but mine looks more organized, and less of a fire hazard... LOL
I keep hearing "fire hazard". Where? Be specific accounting for BTU's and ignition temperatures as well as rated current handling capacity of the wire and connector.
The white cable is low voltage rated for open-air. The only readily apparent line-voltage there is the desklamp.
My only "complaint" is that your logitec receiver for your keyboard/mouse is sitting far closer and at an angle to the ballast in the lamp. You're putting a lot more RF noise into that receiver than it would prefer. But hey - you've got your Tech Ticket. You're qualified at 2.4Ghz for experimental. I'm not gonna pass any judgements.
[oh - and 73's!]

[oh - and 73's!]lol, the fire hazard comment was merely a joke... LOL looks more like a rats nest of wires than a fire hazard...
Ahh, ok. I'd seen it mentioned two or three times, or I'd have dismissed it as that.
I was looking for that thread two days ago Geeker. Couldn't find it. Wanted to PM that guy & find out if he had them for sale.
Ya know Lynn, When you're right, you're right. I never really paid much attention to the RF issue and have corrected it. Thanks for that. I'm glad that there's smart people like you looking out for me.
Much Love and 73's back atcha.

I have the same set, they have pretty decent rejection in low SNR environs - but you burn through batteries faster as the receiver keeps saying "huh?" and the mouse/keyboard stay at max power to get through the dropped packets. The mouse resolution goes down on all the resends too.
But if you didn't notice any of that, it's probably fine and I'm just being overly protective.

I really haven't. But I do have a Flourescent bulb in the lamp. With all of the other sources of RF at this desk I would think that the lamp is the least of them. But thanks for the advice. As always sending much love your way Mannequin Girl!
Check the maxim chip used in this mod... there's actually a charge led pin on it...

a simple gang charger would be easy on a 5v rail setup, and some hacked cartomizers (for me)
but like one man on here said before.... "i know how to build a car, its just easier for me to buy one"
