Brian,

those boosters are based on one battery, the problem is that the Amps will be too low. What use is it to have 5V with 1.5 amp? that is 7.5 Watt on the atty, it is a gadget!!! Keep up the design you made!!!
Ohms law will not allow one to go without the other. If you increase voltage you will increase amps. . The only thing that can change the raise of amps is resistance.

The only limitation of the booster in discussion is watts. It cuts out at 12W.

5v with a 3ohm load is 1.66amps at 8.33 watts
5v with a 2.5ohm load is 2amps at 10 watts

Change any of the values the others change proportionately regardless of what chip you look at.

Your not at a fixed value with it either. THat booster is configurable to VV and can span from 3.6V to around 5.5V


Not that it really matters but I wanted to be sure that noone misunderstood. Going back into my hole now.

Yes, there are several factors that make the board as it stands unusable to me, but really, what is the gain of using it? I will stick with what I have for now until someone comes out with a cost effective small foot print board that will be essentially plug and play and is actually cheaper than the DE-SWADJ 3. The only advantage I see is the cost of a single 18650 vs two 18350s and perhaps a bit longer between charges.

No dont get me wrong from a business standpoint its not usable. Cost and labor would exceed acceptability in your model. I just wanted to clarify the statements flaws in regard to chip capability. Nuff said Ill go back to my corner.

HI Chet. ecigexpress is right down the road from me here in old whatcom county:thumbs:

Oh nice!
It's about 30 minutes drive from where I live not counting the border-crossing wait time.
So far I have an awesome experience with the folks at ecigexpress, everybody I've talked to were very friendly and helpful.
We shall bump into each other there one day~

Bumping for people who missed it the first time;

Even tho I'm in the middle of a batch, I have one I just needed to replace the end cap on and it is good to go, so I shot a quick video of the first operating Mark-5.1 Cutlass. Audioswap in progress but I don't wanna make people wait.

Here is is #5101

Not my design it was done by Breaktru. I was suggesting it may be an idea for a boosted Redsky mod but Cappy said there would be too much labor involved to be cost effective.

Hi guys, I'm waiting for a Buccanner here, I have 2 AW IMR 18650 at home, can you please confirm if it works with the mod?
Thanks.

Yes it will. It should be able to use any 18650 or dual battery combination of that size you would like to use. I will send magnets to use as spacers for the shorter batteries.

I'll do the best I can, I think I'm going to have to add a couple more days to my future estimates from now on due to the complexity of the latest design.

Think I'll watch a bit of tv and hit the pit, night all :)
