ahoy everyone, ahoy Captain, i need confirmation that if the circuit that mount the mod box, deswadj 3, has the protection for short circuits. dim eng gave me a very succinct answer.
one last thing: is it me or deswadj 3 pushes more of the much-praised provari? seems to me that there is more power, the shot is richer, more aggressive, much fatter, someone agrees?
thanks

Ahoy, good morning all.

Here is the link to the SW-ADJ3, it is the only regulator I use in the mods. http://www.dimensionengineering.com/datasheets/DE-SWADJ3.pdf

I don't know the specifics of other mods, but the ones for the regulator I use are as follow;

Input voltage - 5 v minimum
Output voltage - 3v to 13v (of course it can't go higher than the voltage provided, which would be about 8 volts using 18350 x2)
Output power - 25 watts maximum

ok, i just wanted to know if you could give confirmation of protection in case of short circuit.

Ahh, in those cases, it will drop the output voltage levels down to acceptable levels if there is too much current being drawn to protect itself, and it will drop the output voltage to zero if there is a short circuit.

If you put the batteries in backwards it will try to bypass the regulator and probably melt the spring or it will deliver full battery power to the atomizer connector I think, depending on how much voltage is being applied.

thanks for the answer, i think it's a very good circuit :vapor:

I think so too, it has been around for a few years now, very popular and the price is much lower than the new circuit boards that only have the advantage of being a bit smaller.

I looked at the circuit again, it uses a Schottky diode for protection and the regulator simply doesn't work with the battery put in backwards, the diode blocks the input voltage when it's reversed.
