VV Box Mod With Voltage Indicator

[ChrispyCritter]

Does anyone have a schematic on this mod. I'm trying to build one. Getting all the supplies from mad vapes.
I could probably figure it out, but if I had a schematic it would be easier.

Basically as far as I know it's the VV mod but you add in the indicator between the power out the switch (probably hook pin 2 on indicator to the + just after the switch and pin 1 to the ground..or run 2 wires off the switch one to the connector one to pin 2 on the indicator then from pin 1 to the connector) and the connector and you put everything in the center instead of the side (not sure if you need a resistor)..http://www.madvapes.com/How-to-build-a-Variable-Volt-Box-Mod-_b_37.html..look at the pics of the VV indicator mod and the how to I linked..go to the Modding Forum for more help...

Edit: If you wanted to get real fancy you could put in another button and run a wire from the battery + terminal into a switch to another pin on the indicator and when you push the button it would show the battery voltage..this way pin 1 would have to be on the ground wire on the other side of the connector..pins 2-6 on a indicator are all + for testing separate batteries...

I want to say "Thank you!" for the fast turn around shipping and extras in the package.
However the MV tank still make the VV turned off after a couple puffs and I have to reset On/Off switch to get the power back. Well, it doesn't bother me too much. I will use the tank with an USB pass trough. There probably was some miscommunication because I didn't complain about the heat while the VV is working. It's gets hot after the VV gots shutdown because of the significant voltage drop (I know sounds weird but it has happens again while I'm typing. LOL)
So far it works fine with cartomisers (but I used it only for a few minutes).
Thanks for the take care of the problem and inspection.

Yikes.. Didn't realize that there are a few of these boxes with problems. We're really want to get them fixed up for you guys and I've passed along that we're going to send replacements with return envelopes for any defective ones. If you paid for shipping to ship one back, then we can credit you with points. This only applies to VV mods with indicator..

So you know, those working the tickets must not be aware of this, I opened a ticket and was told to ship it (at my expense) and you'd repair or replace "asap" I did mention this post and have not heard back felt you should know.

Bump for Hoogie

Jim Bob,
I would also submit a general ticket attn Hoogie, just in case he does not get on again today. this way whoever opens your ticket will know hoogie addressed this issue and if they doubt it, they will ask him

 

[Jim Bob]

Thanks I replied to my open ticket with the above quote- I'm happy for them to ask

 

[Jim Bob]

IDK maybe I should submit another ticket to make sure he knows - hated to do that but on "second thought"


New Ticket submitted as you advised (thank you so much for that)

 

[Jim Bob]

That did the trick ALL taken care of MV CS ROCKS !

Madvapes crew does a great job. I just figure that even though Hoogie said he would let the crew know about paying the shipping on this case, you never know if someone was gone the day he told them ;-)

So can someone tell me what the difference is.. surely it will tell me what voltage i'm setting it at, right? I'll be just fine if it does. And I hope this ships asap so I have one to use... thanks.

The one with the voltage indicator is a newer version, and that indicator is the difference. Myself, I ordered one earlier tonight without the voltage indicator. I plan on it being a backup PV. I vape in various bars and restaurants and such, and I really don't want it drawing extra attention. That's also a little extra drain on the batteries, though I doubt it's much. 95% of the time (or more) I don't need it telling me what voltage I'm at anyway. I can dial up/down as needed.

For the few occasions where I do want to know what voltage I have, I ordered a separate voltage meter that screws onto the 510 connection. Linky to that product.

Black Assembled Volt Indicator

That gives me the best of both. While at home, playing around, wanting to know what I have it set to, I can use the meter. When I go out and don't want it lighting up and such, and for most of my "I'm just vaping my day away" situations, I don't have to have the meter.

Madvapes has amazing customer service. Just skeptical on buying a unit with only a 30 day warrantee. I guess it is cheap enough. Are they lasting you guys alot longer? How is the performance on it with a 3 ohm duel coil carto tank? Looks great about to order just have these questions.

Hey Aaron
Remember me? We met a while back!

If you're interested, I'd be happy to hook up with you and you can try my MadVapes VV with Indicator out.

Bottom line, I'm thrilled with it! If it lasts me a year, I'll be pleased, and figure it's money well spent.

They perform excellently. It's been my "out and about" device for several weeks now.

Not sure how well it'd hold up, if I dropped it onto concrete, which I've done with my ProVari, but so far it's been great. ProVari was unharmed after a few drops onto concrete/wood floors, but I don't think the MadVapes would fair as well.

Good Evening fellow Madvapes patroners.

Well, Unfortunately I just had to submit a ticket for the new VV mod w/ v ind. ..
-DOA-

Tried Newly charged batteries.. no display, no fire.
Tried my Batteries from the other white box VV mod I got 2 weeks ago... ( I know they are working) No display , no fire.

Twisted the voltage screw up and down.. nothing..

on /off switch in either position.. Nothing.

Kinda bummed.. But hopeful based on all the comments here that a new functional unit will come my way.

I saved the original packaging and invoice.

Any suggestions before it hits the mail back to them?

Thank you

Peace and God Bless ..

I remember you. That is a great offer. Maybe I can make the walk tomorrow or some day next week. Will PM you. Really interested in this mod. Alot of vv mods are underpowered not this one. Hope the switch is powerful enough to handle duel coil tanks at 7.4 V

What kind of batteries are they? Do you have a picture? I had some that worked in a 5V mod but not in the VV mod until I got some little magnets to go on the tops of the batteries

 

[Andyhrn]

I can confirm MV done a great job in fixing my VV. Works w/o a hitch. But I still have a problem using a 1.6 Ohm tank. The VV is just stops fireing after a few puffs. I'm wondering what's cartomizer resistance should be in order to work with the VV? I want to buy another one.
Thanks.

Does this mod use standard AA batteries, or are there special ones that I will need to order for it? I am finally going to order one for review.

It uses the 14500 3.7v battery. Ultrafire Protected 14500 Battery, 900 mAH and I recommend this charger, for the money it's one of the best in my experience. TrustFire TR-001 Lithium Ion Battery Charger

Thanks Errol! I've got 3 TR-001s, so that's covered. I will need to add in the batteries to my cart.

I bought my first Variable Voltage Box Mod last July and my second Variable Voltage Box Mod in Sept

98% of my vaping is with LR atties and LR DC Cartos in and out of tanks and they haven't skipped a beat. I have no doubt they will last at least another year. I also have a Lava Tube and it doesn't begin to compare to these Mad Vapes mods for the HD type vaping I do.
