Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[3mg Meniere]

Something like this?

eGo Variable voltage USB pass-through

Not continuously variable, but steps...

Yep. Will check on sales status. Thank you.

 

[DavidOck]

That's just the first that came up, search term was "variable voltage pass thru"

There may be others that are continuous, or better prices

 

[yiddleboge6]

I have two View attachment 509900

Still work fine.

LOL.....I had one of those. Handy little thing to have at your desk. Only added info I would put out there.....you can't use a usb 1.0 port. It won't fire. It was the main reason I purchased a power strip that had a couple of usb ports, one of which was 2.0. Call me paranoid, but I won't plug anything like that into my PC.

But then......you'd have to be acquainted with all my PC woes to understand my paranoia.......

I have plenty of wall-warts. Their BLACKFRIDAY coupon code is still working. http://vapingcheap.com/black-friday-cyber-monday-vape-sales-list-2015/

I am paranoid of better prices for lower quality when it comes to equipment like that. Like I said, I have had one or two that didn't last.

 

[3mg Meniere]

Decided to pass on it. These sales certainly increase the likelihood of impulse purchases.

I made and still have a 3AA Puck. It takes 3 Ni-MH batteries in series for 4.5V.

worked well with 3 ohm dripping attys

I'm confused. Wouldn't 3 * 1.2V batteries = 3.6V?

Agreed I have the instructions for a puck mod printed off and tucked away. I also have picked up multiples of the parts for one. If push came to shove even this silly old cat can learn to solder.

Could you post (or PM/email) the instructions? I have the link saved. But, they spread the instructions out on multiple pages. I haven't had the patience to go through and put all the pages together to save. Every time I've tried, I start getting twitchy!

Funny you should ask. They've been packed away for months. I just 'found' them the other day along w/ a slew of batts. I was thinking of putting them on the classifieds. But even if I price them low w/ the batts ... I'm not sure anyone would even be interested. The batts are probably worth more than the Riders themselves.

Why not just save them for your Vapocalypse stash? No, the batteries wouldn't last. But, they'ld be a great starter kit for someone. An almost eGo-sized VV stick with replaceable batteries.

I have 2 of them, plus a couple of Hybris (exactly the same mod, but built a tiny bit better and with an eGo connection instead of a flat-topped plain 510 connection). They're my vapocalypse version of an eGo Twist.

I can't speak for many but my Provaris are extremely well made devices with a track record of durability.

Except for the fact that my budget is profoundly limited.

Yup, your budget might be a little too tight. But, most people who complain about the price are spending as much or more on other less reliable mods. ProVari are so reliable that used is just as good as new.

You can get a V2 for about $60-65 and a 2.5 for $75 in the classies. And, that would include the extension cap (to make it an 18650) and shipping. I got my Satin Silver Mini (with extension tube) for just $50.

Oh-ya, and we've even been known to go a little overboard with mod designs.

Reminds me of Steel Jan and her Elmo toy home-made mod.

 

[Myrany]

I hate to say it but I just printed the multiple pages for the Puck mod. I don't have a magic file for that one.

 

[DancingHeretik]

No problem. I guess I need to suck it up and just do it!

My budget is way tighter than that. Maybe someday. But I would rather get a GUS Lord Telescopic mod bb/whs airflow [A00-5C110] - €99.00 : Gus-mod&more...!, An idea made material if I were to go high-end.

 

[Iffy]

It uses a potentiometer to.adjust voltage.

Like da wattage adjustment on da Kicks.

Before she has another puter issue Yiddle is on camera in the HO

Darn, wish I could have been there to see yiddle....

Drats, missed her!

 

[clnire]

I swear I saw an email from My Freedom Smokes about a coil sale. Now I can't find the email. My latest vape-vert friend needs Atlantis coils. Anyone know the code?

 

[clnire]

Found the email... it ended at midnight last night... Oh well.

 

[3mg Meniere]

Maybe they haven't turned off the code. Litecig hadn't turned off theirs.

 

[Kenna]

Like da wattage adjustment on da Kicks.

TY!

 

[Boden]

Are variable voltage ones of a better quality still available? Along with mechs and kicks, would be a great addition to my living like doomsday has already arrived.

No idea, i bought those 4 years ago.

 

[Boden]

Um, parts list?

You know... The parts they use to make one

My charger usually topped them to between 1.46-1.47V. They drop to 1.2V pretty fast though.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I bought one of those a long time ago. By the time I received it, I had heard so much about how cheap and delicate that the wiring is that I never opened to pkg. It's in my stash.

And, just ask Uncle Willie why no one should charge anything on their PC.

Oh, ok. Good to know.
