Let me see if Im understanding...if the switch is in the middle position the vv doesn't work but it could be a 3.7v device with a 18650?..
if I had 2 18350's inside and flipped switch to middle would it fire even though vv not working?..

To me its just as easy to unscrew the atty a turn as it is to flip a switch to turn it off! This will be very very desirable. You can run it with an 18650 for 3.7 one of them 4.8 nimh batteries for 5 volts or 2 rcr123 tenergy 3.2 batteries for 6v and put two 18350's in and flip the switch and you got a vv! How versatile is that!

Maybe I'm too newbie at this, but what happens if you unscrew the atty and press the Fire switch for long time?
Does the part around CC and inside get heated at all?

The switch in the down position is VV, in the up position it runs straight off the battery, whatever type of batteries you install. There really isnt a 'center' position with this type of switch, but you can put it in the middle and neither will be activated.

There is a switch that has an actual center 'click', but I have had to order them from overseas and they will take a few weeks to get here, I wasn't going to unveil this new setup until then, ah well....

Without the atty making connection, no current will flow and it will not generate any heat. You could hold the switch down all day long and it wouldn't do anything.

(Edit: Except keep the voltage display running all day)

He was sayin that if you set the switch one way its a VV mod. set the switch the other way its a standard 3.7 mod, which is also used to check remaining batt voltage. If you set the switch in the middle its off.

Just make sure you remove atty before checking voltage because it will send full batt power to the atty!!

 

[Landlord]

oops i guess i type to slow!! LOL

Correct. Push the fire button and if no voltage displays then it is off.

thanks Cappy!...I kind of like that set up...

Oh hell... Then it doesn't matter does it!
I wasn't going to carry it around with atty installed on it anyway. Sticks out too much.
My problem solved!

How versatile is that!

So let me get this straight...
Up position is normal 3.7v mod with battery checking on LED.
But you can still use different batteries to make it into a 5 or 6v too, in case the vv board is too toasted to have the switch flipped?

Right, up position it is running directly off the batteries, 3.7v or 5v, or whatever combination you are using. Down is the VV position using dual batts.

I will repost this;

For those mods about to ship, here is the corrected operation of the two way switch and voltage display for the prototypes.

I forgot that when you check the battery you need to remove the atomizer or you will apply full battery power to the atomizer as well. Unscrew the atty when you check your AW IMR battery voltages in VV mode.

The display is activated in both modes with the main push button.

The switch in the Down position shows the voltage at the atomizer and should remain in this position when vaping using the VV circuit.



The switch in the Up position shows the output voltage of the batteries, do not have an atomizer connected when checking in VV mode. You may also use this position to Vape using an 18650 battery at 3.7V or any other battery combination you desire.



There is a center position of the switch that will turn them both off, but there is no 'indent' in the switch to let you know it is centered. Center the switch while pushing the fire button until the LED stops working to center the switch.

got it...I think its cool...

 

[chet]

I think I understand this now...

So captain was going to make this batch with the switch on one side to check battery only with no heated atomizer, and the other side exclusively for VV vaping because he didn't have a full three way switch on hand. But he ended up wiring the inside like his future batch which will feature all this versatility. So for us on this batch, the only thing we'll be missing even compared to his future improvement is THE CLICK.

Am I correct?

 

[brian5470]

I guess we really did get prototypes! lol

And the price tag! Bwa ha ha ha ha ... yeah, you guys get screwed out of the click I'm afraid, sorry

Totally, but now I have no new 'improvements' to implement in the near future, I better start making them better than ever to keep interest up.

Yep your gonna have to really up your game! lol

lol I guess we actually got lucky after all.
I wouldn't mind trading a 'click' for a vv board insurance + battery versatility.

NOOO YOU ARE LYING! You said before there'd be no improvement after our batch and there actually was one!! I'd hate to see improvements after I get mine! Don't make it any better now that my mod is finished!!

j/k

You just have to buy another to keep up with improvements!

 

[pchela]

Okay, I think I understand all you've said and I'm fine with it. I actually was going to buy a bottom fed 3.7 that utilizes the 18650 but maybe now I won't have to! Anyway, so, you keep saying in the up position to unscrew the atty or it will get full battery power. Will this damage the atty? If so, how do we use the 18650 for 3.7 vaping? Or does it mean that if the atty is connected, we won't be getting a true battery read? Sorry for my confused newbness!

 

[Capt' Brian]

Those switches aren't gonna be here for another 4-6 weeks unless I can find a local equivalent, so I am not going to make more like this until I can do it right and also offer the 'Off' position. Hmmm, but, I suppose I could mount two switches side by side, one for mode and the other for on/off ... hmmm...now I'm thinking again... temporary solution...should work!
