I built an 3.7v 18650 mod a while back. It is not much bigger than the battery itself and I don't have much room to work with. I can only fit the super small tactile switches in it.
Problem is, I have burned out 4 of them (2 different kinds). Some other folks have suggested using a mosfet. I have googled them and read all about them on wiki. It all reads like hyroglyphs to me.
I know I want one that has a gate that opens fully at low volts and that it basically acts like a switch when it recieves current. That's about as far as my understanding goes.
How does this stop my itty bitty switches from dying? How the heck do you wire it?
madvapes has a 5v 1.5 amp regulator that is small enough to fit in my unit. Will that work? Is that a mosfet? Sorry, I would post a link but I can't. (darned low post count!!)
Before you guys hit me with some serious knowledge, just know that I am slightly mentally deficient when it come to electronics. Metaphores are good...
Thanks in advance!
