Oh boy I probably shouldn't havent looked in here...

I have been contemplating a 6v mod. Well I got in here looking and saw the dual shotgun mod, and then I saw the RCA connection mod. I noticed that most people were using two 3.7v batteries. Would it be possible to wire up a dual atty mod that used say two 6v batteries or a 12v ac-dc transformer. This would be completely for at home use, so it wouldn't really have to be portable. I would be using this as the splitter from the power source, Gold Series Audio Y-Adapter, Mono Phone Jack to RCA Plugs - RadioShack.com . In the slightly altered words of dark helmet I want to ludicrous vape. Also if I was too hook it up to a AC/DC 12v what amperage would it need too be?

This is what I'm leaning toward and what I got running through my head. Have two battery connectors modded to RCA. Plug them into the aforementioned RCA splitter. Cut the end of a 12v ac/dc 2.0 amp power supply and attach a female rca connector and plug the splitter into it. My main concern is the atomizers will they instantly die. If I could get a week to two weeks out of them, that would be fine as this wouldn't be something I would use everyday, just on really bad days .

I'm also planning a regular dual 3.7v mod for normal usage, other than the duct tape two e-cigs together.

It's way better and safer to use a 6V power supply and wire the attys in parallel rather then using 12V and wiring them serially.
If one dies slowly on 12V (serial connection) it will suck the life of the other one too.

Look after a 3A (minimum) switching power supply to cope with atty requirements.

Right TEC The last pic before the green video but instead of using 6v, I want to use a 12v power supply.

Maybe I should rephrase, not getting the answers I'm looking for, no offense to you guys, thanks for the input though.

Is running 12v from either battery or a ac/dc adapter through a rca splitter across two atomizers doable? Will I just end up blowing out atty's?

 

[codfish124]

i know ( 2 attys ) wont do 9V so id say 12v is a no. now if you were only to run 2 at all times then maybe. but if 1 were to die the other would go out as well.i would do some sort of load test to be sure they drop to 6vish when it is put together.

i am not an electrical engineer nor clam to be i just tinker and learn from my mistakes

even if 12V did work it would burn the juice 6v dose 5v is good

You can definitely do it, the how is where i'm lacking, sorry. As a mechanic, I can tell you that charging systems use a voltage regulator to drop charging voltage (usually somewhere around 16v) to the appropriate 12/13v for charging a motorcycle battery. So if you were able to find a voltage regulator small enough to be a viable option that will drop your voltage to a contant 6v output, then wire the atty's in parallel, I assume it would work great.

Once again this is all in theory since I can't even tell you where to start looking. Good Luck!

 

[vapomike]

So If I sent 12v 2amp power supply into that RCA splitter what would that do to the voltage on each output?

 

[freaknormal]

On another note, I think the only way you will be able to get reliable results is by wiring the atty's in parallel. I really think you are gonna run into load balancing issues if you try to wire in series. I understand the idea of doubling the load by using two atty's so the logical thing would be doubling the voltage. But with my experience, the voltage drop through the first atty is inherently going to cause the second to burn cooler. So if it doesn't blow both atty's immediately, it will for sure blow the first atty far more frequently, and because it's wired in series, the second will stop working as well.

If this is just one of my tangents i'm sorry. This probably wasn't even what you were talking about now that I think of it. Feel free to flame me, I probably deserve it. =)

 

[freaknormal]

Oh!, I see where you are goin now. The voltage won't change through a splitter, you will simply have 12vdc at 2amps on both outputs.

 

[vapomike]

Well that sucks, lol. So I should just go with 6v power supply with more amperage.

I think we have an answer timing issue here so I'm reposting this, sorry if that's against the rules. I have a bad habit of not reading them.

 

[freaknormal]

Yeah, I really would suggest the 6v. I'm not sure about what the amperage is on these things. Somebody else will likely be able to tell you. two 6v batts in parallel or four 3v doublestacked in parallel would probably give incredible results. But from what I have been told, you want to look into a resistor to keep the voltage in check. I made a single atty 6v mod using two 3v batts without a resistor and didn't have any issues, but it also hasn't been in use for very long so I can't tell you about longevity. Good Luck!
