Looks good.
Is that one of those free sample switching regulators?
Is schematic posted somewhere?
Touch switch?
Any more pics handy?

 

[boomer2506]

Yes I got form texa ins samples,same schematic as the ever cool mod but no caps or extra resistor on the the trimmer. only have these other pics, but think I'm building another one tomorrow night.So I'll take some more.The switch is the click click on the light.Had to many problems stuffing a little tact switch in there.

wow boomer... that is very neat. I need to try a tube mod next.

Works fine w/o the caps?

 

[boomer2506]

Emus yeah works fine w/o cap they are for filtering and smothing out voltage. Atty and cartos don't really care much about that stuff. Not putting the extra resistor is cause I used a 500 ohm trimmer.

I made some AC to DC power supplies for sound equipment and the caps helped reduce unwanted noise and stabilize voltage.
The current from batt should be clean in comparison to AC source.
If I find the time for another DIY mod I may just omit the caps as well.
Unless I learn different.

So simple to drop that resistor out by increasing the ohms on the trimmer used. Love it.

Here is a couple new ones.

Here's another new one.

Very nice.

 

[boomer2506]

Thanks Emus I like the shiny finish on this one.

Looks like a really handy small PV.

What batteries are you useing? That is so cool and I've got a flashlight just like that one but I think this is above my skill level

 

[boomer2506]

Thanks Txparamedic it uses 2 10440s and I get around 6 hours of heavy use on a charge.The small size is what I love about these mods.

Looks pocket friendly as well.
What is your fav volt, carto and mg.

 

[boomer2506]

Yes pocket friendly a must for me, fav volt 4.2 using mad vapes dual coils and 24 mg 50/50 pg/vg mix.

My all day is 12mg, 3.7v, 3 ohm SS CE2.

My quick fix is 12mg, 4.2v, 1.6ohm DC.

I used to vape 24mg w/ M401.

 

[boomer2506]

Well my all day is also 12 mg cuase I cut my dekan 24 pg in half with vg. I have not tried the ce2s how do they work. At 3.7?

Some of my clear CE2 R6 needed some tweeking to work properly; I got all of them to work perfect.

My nhaler SS 3ohm CE2 R5 at 3.7v is the best atty/carto I've tried to date.
Did not require tweeking; I dry burned them before initial fill just in case.
Above 4v and burns liquid pretty easy; perfect at 3.7v.

Not a juice or batt hog.
Much more vapor than DC at similar voltage.
Firm TH at 12mg.
Not as powerful as DC at 4.2v.
56mm long and holds about 1.7ml liquid.
Fouls quicker than DC w/ dark liquids.
I have successfully cleaned slagged CE2 wicks w/ lengthy dry burn and needle picking.
