Variable Voltage Mod History Wanted

[retird]

I am interested in documenting the history of the Variable Voltage concept...kinda just a timeline and development history.

If there are any "old-timers" here on ECF who could provide information, I would appreciate it...

Here is an early thread I found here in ECF, but I'm sure there is alot of info out there...

Thanks

Well done Retird,

You beat me to the punch. I was about to start a thread on a similar topic.

C'mon experienced ECFers! Give us the links!

 

[MasterofChaos]

Here's a link that MisterD sent me (I never take credit for another person's work!):

3.7v vs 5v

Its very similar to the one you posted, retird.

SOrry, the link didn't work. Here is the URL:

the Buzz from Notcigs is released. has the merit of making VV popular and truth has to be told. We own that to Mike!

I'm not sure if this is what you’re looking for, however I posted it anyway.

It’s the oldest thread I could find that mentions variable voltage.

i would have to disagree on the variable factor leaford.. some poor ones might seem to work this way but i think they are intended to be simple on off switches..

a good one works will very little suck.. a less than good one dosnt.. it kinda make poor contact without the hard suck and appears to be variable.. they would need some kinda of variable resistor to produce genuinely variable voltage.. what u are seeing is simply poor switch contact from a gentle suck..

a manual simply saves wasted suck.. heated up the liquid then suck.. the auto takes a couple of seconds of wasted sucking while the atomizer heats up..

a manual should be more reliable.. and give more consistent results.. having said that the pressure switches in my e-cig pipes work superbly with the gentlest of sucks.. the pressure switches in my e-cig minis are rubbish and need a hard suck to come on properly.. a gentle suck produce intermittent switch contact.. it aint (clever) variable simply a crap pressure switch..

pressure switches are one of the things that make a break the device.. a simple manual on off switch removes the inconsistency of less than stellar pressure switches..

Some excellent posts, guys, keep 'em coming!

 

[Merlin]

Two sites that already have Variable Voltage "PV's"

Vapir NO2 Vaporizer

Digital Vaporizers

Some of the post made by various posters are not subject related....guess it happends in most threads...

 

[MasterofChaos]

The following is not an ECF post, however it is relevant to the discussion in that its a patent application from 2007 which describes a PV in quite a lot of detail, including the microprocessor controlling the battery, etc. etc.

United States Patent Application: 0080257367

The link is to the USPTO. Notice that this patent also has not been awarded yet and was applied for more than 4 years ago.
