I have a friend who wanted me to make him a 5v long-battery-life mod for his tank mod, so here is my first monster: Moby Dick v1 Starting with a 2-C battery box, I made this around MV's 4-pin 3-amp 5v regulator. It is designed for 18500 batts and has a master switch, a hidden power LED, and a top-mounted trigger. I really like the mod, think I will make another for me, this time a VV cause I prefer about 4.7v. View from the front...note the access panel for the atty connector: Inside showing the spaghetti wiring. Parts are hot-glued in place to avoid damage from shifting parts and wires. Note the foam rubber batt compartment padding, keeps the batts from rattling around Top view, showing placement of switches, LED and atty connector .. the LED is recessed inside about 1/4", reminds you to turn off the master switch when not in use. Loaded with batts. Since I don't have any 18500s, I used the old "stack of nickels trick" and a pair of 18350s. I need to order some 18500s Yummy Thar she blows, Matey!
You guys got me thinking .. what would 3v vaping be with practically unlimited current? I slapped 2 alkaline Rayovac "C" cells in the baby and lit it off. Surprisingly, it works decently at 3v ... about the same vapor as our old 510 kits (and I bet the batts would last for weeks!) .. I wonder what voltage the little 510's are .....
