@ Boris: yeah, Looking around for enclosures is such a pain. hopefully i get the hang of box websites like digikey pretty soon. Any other decent sites that you know of?

I always just look around for things I think would make an attractive mod. It's all personal taste. I happen to prefer tube mods mostly, and pipe mods. Madvapes has a few boxes. Obviously, so does the rat shack. Again, though, anytime you're looking to build a mod, it will come down to finding what appeals to you - and then figuring a way to fit the features you want into that shell.

Also, because I didn't say it in my original post and meant to - Awesome job! How's the vape?

That's a very clean job MJ. I was checking out the board that you linked to and I was excited to see an American supplier until I noticed the drop down voltage on these is 2.5V. If I understand correctly, the voltage on your batts fresh off the charger will be 8.4V but that will drop to operating voltage of 7.4V pretty quickly for those smaller batts. Does that mean you can only get up to 4.9V for the greater part of the vaping cycle??

@ boris: thanks, man. vapes great. btw have my first homebrew bottled, just have to wait a few more... screw it *pops bottle*

@vpn: I have it running at about 5 volts most times without issue. (that is to say about 5v without load.) i'm not sure about past that since i rarely go up that high but i'll give it a whirl in the morning.
