My newest addition...

So...I got ...... off at the evercool...my theory is bad chip since I quadruple checked everything and it just would not fire. I ripped apart my 5v feeder box that I was not using as a feeder and put the guts in the cool ebay dual 18650 box. So now I'm running 5v regulated with dual 18650s. Recessed the atty connector...Works good with 3ohm CE2 XLs and DCs...have not tried yet but I imagine a reg atty would leave just my drip tip stickin out. Over 28 hours and about 6-7ml so far on batts and they are real close to 8v still though ...ehh...just sharing. Later all.

Oh boy, that sounds nice. I wish I had the technical savvy to dink around with my stuff

You did good!!!

With the extreme detail of some of the Tutorials on the forums here, you CAN'T (hardly) go wrong. Some ppl give multiple shots of every step! Thats very helpful starting out with ZERO experience like I did. I am not real good but getting better, and noticable faster.



OT: Looks nice and clean! Too bad the evercool didn't work out for you. I like the recessed atty connector with this especially. Thats a pretty big box, would be pushin' a foot with the atty on the outside! lol I just got my 2 free samples from TI today, so I will be attempting something like your original design here soon! Hope I have better luck xD

Can't go wrong with 5v! With 18650's, wow!!! I built one(copper) with 18350's and love it but I like my 14500 boxes, too.

Thanks for the kudos...I'm just happy I don't have to charge batteries all the time now

 

[Robert T]

Hell yeah!

EVERCOOL circuit+2x 18650's+recessed tank= heaven!

I didn't make it, a guy over at vapersforum made it for me! I don;t think I'll ever need anything else!

Wow...more impressed every day. Has been around 78 hours now and well over 15ml (didn't actually keep track but I fill my CE2 XL at least 3 times a day) through it and it is still goin. Checked batts last night and they were around 7.6v combined. Amazing stuff

Nice W.G. yes you did good. Sound really impressive.

I had a similar situation the other day, 08100w stopped working. Pulled it apart and trouble shot it for 2 days. Found that the Atty insulator was crushed and caused the positive atty center pin to ground out to the base. Rebuilt the atty insulator and all is well.
I learned a lesson. Never tighten the atty too tight. Just screw in until it just makes contact to the center pos pin. Those rubber/fiber insulators will flatten down after repeated screwing and unscrewing.

I had the same problem too breaktru. I about went crazy trying to figure it out.

I'm using the v2 shorty 510 connectors on all my mods from madvapes to save the threads.... they just started carrying a sealed version, and I ordered 8 of them..... I learned the hard way not to tighten things down to tight..... fried my atty on my vv box mod one night....

"Update" Well, I ended up getting 126 hours and over 30 ml through it before having to recharge...woohoo!
