My first 5V Regulated Box Mod

[Lugnut]

Yeah, I know, big deal. But it sort of is to me, this being my first attempt at building any mod and nd my first 5V device I've ever used, I'm pretty excited . Lovin' 5V, brought all my old 2.5 ohm and higher attys back to life! It's a kit from mad vapes. Can't beat it for $13!

See my facebook photo's if you're interested in how it came out. I was more than suprised after making that final solder that everything works. It's pretty tidy, varying color LED works, 5V is kicking like wild on the vapor production. Think I found a new hobby.

Nice job....what kind of atty is that?

Sorry Lugnut, I don't do Facebook but congrats anyway on your first mod.

Thanks for the wiring schematic. If all the AV(Adjusted voltage) mods gave schematics like this it would be simple for just about anyone.

Well Done!

It's actually a 2.5 ohm cartomizer and a drip shield.

Nice job....what kind of atty is that?

Nice work Lugnut! Welcome to 5v, and modding. The mod looks nice.

P.S. 5v... It saved my bacon.... more like a real cig hit. Keeps me vaping rather than "falling back" to smoking. Hope it works well for you too. Now, stock up on those batteries! lol. (I even built a 5 v PT - even easier since USB is already 5 volts... no regulator required. Just a 2.0 amp wall wart. Failsafe plan).

Thank you for the wiring layout - it made it all click for me! Ready to get that Madvapes order in!

Nice mod, now your ready for the next step, VV!
Oh, wait, nobody else is allowed to do VV anymore.

LOL What inside joke am I missing?

One of the vendors has applied for a patent on "Variable Voltage", and it has truly stirred the pot.

Oh LOL...Truly that would only prevent other vendors from selling VV units right? I mean, that WOULD suck, and one day I hope to afford a Provari, but modders are all well and safe.

I'm actually pretty ticked about this one and I was considering a buzz darnit!!

Getting a little more adanced now. I just completed a variable voltage mod I made out of a converted Motorola Walkie Talkie. The internals are DIY parts from Mad Vapes, including a variable voltage regulator, which is controlled by what used to be the volume knob on the radio. Pics are below. I'm still waiting on a 510 connector to complete the project, but checked all the electronics and it's looking good. Adustment voltage is 3.4 V to 4.6V.
