VVBox and VVpassthru

[BJ43]

New VVBox mod is my test lab. Plan to start some diy coils It is variable voltage from batteries or passthru, use car 12 volt cigarette lighter or 12v 4 amp source from ac outlet. Rocker switch selects between batteries and passthru for Vin to the stepdown converter. Voltage meter is activated by a mini slide switch on top interrupting the grd wire and the meter cycles between Vin and Vout, Vin dependent on the selection of the rocker switch. Two 14500 batteries and a mini usb plug on the bottom for the passthru. Haven’t found a knob to put on the pot yet, any suggestions would be appreciated. Independent battery area so no taking apart to change batteries. Parts less than $30.

Very nice mod bj43, nice and easy bat change too !

The only thing I would like for it to be a great laboratory is an internal ohm meter. Have not been able to find one. Looking at a pencil multimeter to see if I can mount it into the box. Don't know where provari gets theirs.

This picture gives a better view after organizing the wires. The rocker switch also serves as a heavy duty master switch as it is on off on. Really impressed with vv vaping it is a whole new world. Every setting is different even with the same eliguid. Still looking for an internal ohm meter and a knob for the pot.

Finally finished, cut a piece from a screw on wire cap for the knob. Have tested it with input voltage direct from the car cig lighter, from 17 v 4a laptop ac adapter, and a 12v 6a source, as a mechanical engineer not that into electronics, I was surprised to see that the output voltage stayed the same no mater what the input voltage was.

Amazing!! I think you just made a darwin. I just made a 5V mod it's ugly and raw. I am going to try to do a simple VV, yours is way out of my league, as a bum not that into electronics. I stand no chance. But your PV is Awsome! and the output voltage consistent regardless of the input WOW~! Does it charge the batteries when it's being used as a pass through?

Thanks for the compliment but actually it is pretty easy with the prewired converter. It does not charge the batteries. The danger charging batteries in series. With the separate door for the batteries it is easy to change them.

I have found that the above mod and my box at 5.5v is vaping heaven, more vaper, better flavor than DC or TC and no burning filler.

Doing dryburn with this at 10v, two or three one second burns and the black gunk is white ash, that I brush off with miniature brush used for cleaning between teeth...

Using a 12v source in and 5v out in PT mode with triple coil I am getting less than .1v drop. This little converter is a monster...

I'm lovin the looks of this converter so far, I even have the mod in mind to put it in. Now I'm stuck waiting on the slow boat from China. I think I found a state-side vendor for it, however their website has been down for "maintenance" for 3 days, and they're showing 0 in stock. Have it book marked though, checking regularly and I'll throw it up if/when they're back up and running with this in stock.

HV vaping is a whole new world. A repairable ce2 with 4ohm coil on a ss wick, no fiberglass or silica. Love this regulator. Pump it up to 10v for dry burn.

Ordered a few of these, same regulator, smaller footprint and no wires.

Really like the look of this. Good job. Where did you get the USB charger battery pack?

I already have 1 of those LM2596 on the boat, should almost be here now There's another model keeping it company on the boat; but can't recall right now which one.

I am waiting on the boat also. Making a small vv passthru with meter without batteries. I find that I seldom use the batteries. Don't go to bars much anymore. lol These passthru with 12v source are great.

 

[BJ43]

Built a smaller version without batteries and used a standard power plug. Now I can plug it into computer power supplies up to 24v and directly into the cars 12v system. Here I have 12.7v going in and 5.4v out. I put the power plug on the side so it will stand vertical if I should ever want to use a tank again. Looking for a side knob for the pot.

Did you get your shipment? Would like your opinion. I have four in use and have not burned one yet even with very hard use, dry burning and oxidizing ss wicks. Their range is so much higher than an evercool mod.

Finished with AA clock adjustment knob.
