for 5v i use the ti regulator and reads between 4.9-5v but i think with the boster ill get about 5.5 anyone done this yet let me know
what do u think for a usb regulator or dc booster

Can you frame that a little more clearly? I'm not sure what it is that you're asking.

wich do u think would work better for a usb pass through a ti regulator or dc booster with the regulator i get in between 4.5-5 v with the dc booster im hoping to get between 5-5.5 v has anyone done this yet and what was there experience
A usb passthrough should already be giving you 5v's...*I BELIEVE* with the TI Regulator you need a minimum of 6v's to power it...*I Believe* most USB ports are 5v 500mA...and people have expressed you need atleast a 1000mAh battery to use the Booster....
Soooo...i'd have to say neither?
Why would you want to use a regulator or DC-DC booster for a PT? If you are making a PT without batt, just wire a USB cable to your PT ( Tube or box- switch - batt adaptor). And buy a Dual USB Wall Adaptor 5~5.5V 1000ma output. Dont use on PC's USB, Its too weak.

yeah ive built one before just wondering if the boster would be any good to bring up the volts at all and was wondering if anyone had done this well thanks just wondering if it would do anygood
If you're wanting to go over 5v, I'd just build a nicostick with the boost converter in it, to be honest.
You'd be running close to the outside of the input voltage tolerance, and the increased amperage draw from the booster chip would make it where you POSITIVELY wouldn't want to use it on a computer USB (I wouldn't use it on a wall-plug USB that wasn't 2A or better).

Why would you need a dual? And why wouldn't the computer's USB port work... they obviously do for many PT's.
Would this apply?
In Battery Charging Specification[33], new powering modes are added to the USB specification. A host or hub Charging Downstream Port can supply a maximum of 1.5 A when communicating at low-speed or full-speed, a maximum of 900 mA when communicating at high-speed, and as much current as the connector will safely handle when no communication is taking place; USB 2.0 standard-A connectors are rated at 1500 mA by default. A Dedicated Charging Port can supply a maximum of 1.8 A of current at 5.25 V. A portable device can draw up to 1.8 A from a Dedicated Charging Port. The Dedicated Charging Port shorts the D+ and D- pins with a resistance of at most 200Ω. The short disables data transfer, but allows devices to detect the Dedicated Charging Port and allows very simple, high current chargers to be manufactured. The increased current (faster, 9W charging) will occur once both the host/hub and devices support the new charging specification.

WillyB, I'm not trying to be an electrical smart-as here , the suggestions was my own experiences, you can take whatever choices you want.
- What I was talking about was a home made PT, which use a USB cable wire through a momentary switch to a batt connector. I'm not talking about any commercial PTs out there, which were design for PC's USB port.
- PC USB ports on my 3 PCs did not work well consistence with my Homemade PT, some ports did not work at all, few worked but very on and off , also the vape experience was nowhere compare to those USB Wall Adaptors 1000ma, which personally own 3 of them. Another thing is why risking plug in your own Mod on a PC USB , a short may damage your PC.
With an USB Wall Adaptor you can use PT at any place that has a wall outlet.
- Yes you do not need a Dual USB adaptor, a single one would work fine.
Since the price are pretty cheap, why not buy a Dual one so you can use the other port for charging while using PT? The link I posted is the same model I am using now, I'm not making any penny here and there so please!
- I went thru that wiki since I started making my own PT, still wondering why lol. Thanks for that info anyway!
