Question on Madvapes Variable Voltage Box mod

[ls1chris]

Well i am really starting to grow tired of my ego and got to looking around at VV mods and think i want to give them a try.I found on mad vapes the VV box mod but i was curious.I see where the Dial exits the box to adjust voltage but how would you know what Voltage you are using?? I did not see any markings or anything to distinguish what you was currently set at .

This is the one i am speaking of

youd have to pick up thier voltage indicator which is a 510 connection and screw it on. its even got a 510 connection on the top so you can screw your atomizer into it and show voltage under load.

but thank you for the link i love madvapes ever expanding line of affordable mods. and was waiting for them to come out with a vv box mod.

They sell a voltage indicator - and if you're going to get in to building mods, you should really have a multimeter.

or you could get their voltage indicator w/o the connections and put your indicator in the box...

this also gives you the option to put a second set of connections to the indicator to have it give you your battery status...

So many toys to play w not enough time or money to do it all in all of its combinations...BUT I'm gonna try anyway...lol

I do have a multimeter i use it for work on cars and testing things of that nature.So i could test my voltage with the multimeter i did not know you could do that with a Pv.

 

[ls1chris]

I think i may goes this route when i get a little more saved as i am so wanting to try higher voltage.

Once you test it once you can a good idea of the voltage based on the position of the pot. One side of the pot has a flat spot so it's a good reference. With the flat spot aligned flat with the bottom of the box, mine runs at about 4.23v.

you can do it, chris, but i don't recommend checking the voltage w/ a meter by hand. it's all to easy to slip w/ one of your probes and cause a short, which isn't healthy for batteries/electronics/springs. you could very easily make a really simple adapter to eliminate this issue. for example, take an atomizer connector for the kind of connection your device has, and solder 2 wires: one to the center pin, one to the outside of the connector. touch your probes to those wires instead of the connector, and voila! or you could also use alligator-clip style leads and free up your hands for pushing the button/adjusting the VV screw


unfortunately, this would not be giving your your actual vaping voltage (loaded volts) but that's another little beast altogether madvapes does sell a meter-thingy that will do both for you (at least, i think it does. haven't bought it myself).
