The EternalVape 4000

[Vaslovik]

Okay, I just got this nutty idea for a passthrough that will power your rba with a steady 4.2 volts for a good long time, how long I'm not sure, but a lot longer than an AW IMR 18650 for sure. With continuous recharging it's for all practical purposes, ETERNAL.

What I'm thinking of is a deep cycle 6 volt solar array or cell tower battery with the appropriate electronics between it and your rba, which has a handle on it that connects it to the battery and contains the step-down to 4.2 volts onto which you can screw your RBA.

I'd sit this thing next to my computer desk, with a charger on it hooked up to house current, or solar panels, hook up my RBA to it, and vape on and on and on and on.... It would be a big heavy deal, and you might have to beef up the foor a bit to handle it, but I am sure it can be done.

I spend a lot of time at my desk on my computer, and I currently have to rotate my 8 AW IMR 2000 mAh batteries through my mech and the charger. Why not just get a mongo honkin passthru for that? I'm thinking something like this:

Solar UPS Rolls Surrette Battery 6 Volt 820 AH | 6-CS-25PS

Why not? they have passthru's for those little clearos, why not for your RBA too?

a coil is a coil, doesnt matter if it is a 1 dollar carto or a 150 dollar rba, you can use a regular ego passthrough battery as long as you use normal resistance ranges (since you mention 4.2v)
just be a bit of a size difference.

or even get something like the provari that also offers passthrough and have an eternally powered provari.

A Provari will not do sub-ohm. I like my RBA running at .75 - .8 ohm. That's my sweet spot and I wick and coil for that. I never did regulated mods, I jumped right over that and carto tanks, going straight from EGO stuff to a mech and RBA, which to me is where it's at. Get a Provari? You got to be kidding me.

My control over my vape is how I wick and coil with my own two hands, not electronics and menus and buttons. I like it that way. What I meant to address is the power limitations of mech batteries at home and voltage drop over vaping time. Money spent on the atty is hardly the issue, so I'm not sure of your point there.

I'm using an RSST, 400 SS wick and 28 g. kanthal 4/3 wrap at .8 ohm. that's hardly an expensive rig. I just want constant voltage with no drop over time. Batteries can serve well when I'm out of the house. To say a coil is a coil is not quite accurate for those of us using mechs. For us a coil is a coil wound accurately for an ohms resistance target.

You had me until I saw the $1,050 price tag on that battery.

I'm curious what the manufacture specifications are on number of recharge cycles.

Sounds like you are thinking big here. Since you are talking about sitting it next to your PC anyways have you thought about tapping into the 5V rail on its PSU? I have actually been toying with that idea myself as my PSU has plenty of power to spare.

^ooOooo..let's see results when you go for it.

Oh come on now, I can dream can't I? And, it would be an investment in vaping. I would then be free of having to cycle my 8 batteries through the charger and my mech. I would just plug into my passthru and vape on for as long as I was sitting at my desk, which I spend most of my time at, and with 820 amp hours capacity who flippin cares about the recharge cycles of that thing? Compare that to an AW IMR 18650 2000 mAh battery!

I'm guessing YEARS of steady vaping at constant voltage with this thing! When you are drawing so little power from something designed to provide so much power you really are set for a good long time. Then too, you could use just a car battery for $50 or so. The most important component is the passthru rig and it's voltage step-down circuitry. With a car battery or golf cart battery or a deep cycle marine battery you would have to step down from 12 volts to 4 volts, which is not that hard to do.

so I'm not sure of your point there.

seeing how you didnt give any details or information about what you use was just trying to help.
lack of details led me to believe you may not have been sure of what your asking.

Still trying to finish my Computer power source design for at home vaping. it's somewhat easy and many have done. Making mine so you have a cable with firing button on it so the CPS is under table and the 510 is hand held.
