My DIY - DSE901 - MAGNUM POWER

[smog]

Well as I say my freshly charged batteries are only managing to hold 2.7 to 2.8 volts and they are still managing to power my atomizers...so I would have thought a three volt power supply might work.

Yes Pete 3 V is fine .thats what the elements are designed to run with.
youl find resistance of heating coils to be about 2.6- 3 ohms so giving a current of about 1 amp . (So approx 3 watts of power will be used)

It's just that madogg decided he wanted to get much more vapour so he upped the voltage to 6 volts (it's amazing his heating coils last any length of time though).

Actually I thought my toothbrush was 3 volt but it is 3.6 ....unfortunately only 600 mah so it wouldn't hold it's power for long.

600 mah thats still about 3 times as much as the standard capacity of ecig battery
=180 mah so will last you much better. Good luck

Hey thanks smog.....I can't pretend to know very much about electronics...but I understand a little...it's all the mathematics that kills me .lol.

I like conclutions because I finally can built something. From all the conversations in this forum I saw that 2 batteries of 3v each , is the best way to take the bigger vapor and throat hit of course, without damage the atomizer. His life is shorter because is hotter, but it depents what you like most. -30% atomizer life and all the good thinks or the opposite. Its up to you.

I tried 2 batteries 3,6 v each and when I first inhale, a big cloud if vapour occurs. After that the atomizer dead

I don't know if you were intending to be funny Imeo......but that last paragraph of yours just made me laugh so much.........it reminded me of the famous line from the Italian Job

"you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!!"

xa xa xa,

If I make you laugh I am happy, but that was a real thing. It happens just I said

well I guess at least it gave you one great big vape.....just a little bit too heavy on the atomizers though..lol.

Two 3,6 volt batteries are not allowed. But mAdog with his two 3v each, had no problem at all. He said that his atomizer has last 2 months. Not bad I think, what do you say?

imeothanasis . Just one of those 3.6 V batteries will give you some extra vapour over a standard ecig battery (which quickly drop off to about 2.7 volts) and last longer in the bargain .If you need to insert 2 batteries then connect them in parrallel so you still got the 3.6 V .They should run for about 2 days before needing to be recharged .

 

[surbitonPete]

my evo batteries only read 2.7 volts straight off charge and they aren't even all that old......I wish I had tested one when it was new.

 

[smog]

i got some almost brand new evo batteries here Pete .i just checked mine
off fully charged and they are all 2.7 V

As I said to another thread, parallel would not be a good choice because if the one battery is more charged that the other, current will pass to the lower battery and this quick charge will burn it. Exept this, battery will blow.

Exept that, batteries must have the same capacity. One mistake and........ Why take the risk?

 

[smog]

No they should be ok, im always connecting them in parrallel , as long as they are both the same type and are charged equally (it's normal when they are connected in parrallel to charge them both as one battery still connected together so they both have the same charge).
If you want to be extra sure you could always use a blocking diode . or you could just use one battery . lol

 

[imeothanasis]

Thanks smoke, I really believe that one battery is the safest way, or 2 in order. I think we agree.

 

[booboo]

OK I have uploaded again -

Could someone please make me one of these???? I am bothe solder and patience challenged!

I am going to make my own devise in about 15 days. If you can wait, I will sell it about 65 euros (I think)

 

[D_Struct]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram done to show the proper wiring technique used to construct a screwdriver-type setup, with only a momentary switch on the front of the device?

 

[imeothanasis]

I will make one for you and I will upload the picture

[D_Struct]

Thank you for the connections diagram, imeothanasis. Much appreciated!

What if the momentary switch has two posts as connectors? Would you just need to solder the spring to the two posts?

 

[imeothanasis]

If the button does not existed, then the design would work all the time.
Button opens and closes the circuit, nothing else. That means, the two posts of button have no sense. You only need a simple open-close button.

But if you have a 2 post's button, then solder the one post to the body of the button. Madog is a scientist in these things.

The spring does not soldered in any post. The spring is soldered only with the wire witch goes to the inner atomizer.

Hope I help. If not, please tell me what you dont understand.
