My VV mod

[locke2121]

Finally! Took me most of the day to get it together...can't have much privacy with a bunch of kids running around lol. Right now I've got it running at 4.75 volts without load...hits like a ton! I did screw up my fast changing LED....I had the regulator turned up too high when I tested it..burned all but the red diode out...plus i wired up wrong...it was somehow wired up BEFORE the regulator...so I just clipped it out. Yeah...the wires are a bit long...but I wanted them that way since it was my first big mod...plenty of room for mistakes. Also overdrilled the atty connector hole...but a nice application of JBWeld took care of that...looks smooth lol.

One thing...if I ever build another, I'm using a four-barrel battery box...that way I have more room lol!

Use the following evaluation points:

Did you make it? Check.
Does it vape? Check.
Are you about a happy as a pig in a pin striped Brooks Brother's Suit?
I bet you are

Congrats.

I figured out what I did with the LED. I wired it up to the switch, but on the hot side, not the momentary side lol.

 

[MickeyRat]

You wired to the hot side not the gate circuit right?

 

[locke2121]

Right...so the power of both 14500's shot straight through the second I turned on the master power switch lol. Next thing I saw was a tiny puff of smoke and all but the red diodes stopped working. Its cool...if I ever want I've got a bright white LED in a little parts box...I can wire it up. I'm only out about 50 cents lol.

Did you use a resistor on the LED?

 

[locke2121]

Yep, but obviously it was just enough to protect the single diode...maybe that was the puff of smoke I saw lol.

nice work!

i love the feeling of "i made this" "FOOooo!" lol "let me make you one" lol love those words my FAV words,

anyhoot iam VERY curious...

what regulator did you choose to go with??


happy vaping that monster!

This one: 3A Adjustable step down switching voltage regulator
Not too had to work with...just eased the metal shield off, bent the pins up to a 90 degree angle to save room, sanded about 2mm off the sides so it is a snug fit and that was all that was needed lol.
