The leg is healing pretty good, Thanks for all your kind comments. 4 Days after the explosion I have completely re-designed the Detonator so that it uses protected CR123 batteries. The new batteries seem to last much longer, and hit better. The Detonator still uses a voltage regulator and every hit is consistant 5 volts. There is no drop off like a PV using a resistor to achieve 5 volts. Every time the button is pushed you get exactly 5.00 volt to the 510 attomizer. I will be making a new DIY video soon - so you will be able to make your own 5 volt Protected Detonator CR123a.

Also FYI- I thought Ultra Fire might be better also but look at the Ultra fire I got 3 days ago- What is written on them is a lie- There is NO PCB on these batteries- it is a complete lie! I asked Cisco - in Video Chat on Nu- Vapor he has been testing protected CR2's that are only 600mah- the problem with them he saysa is that the PCB will not allow enough current to flow to fire a 510 atty. Also he showed me CR2 with a PCB- they have a little ridge at the bottom and are slightly 1-2 mm longer- The PCB has to take up some space- a PCB has to be somewhere and take up space if it's there! These do no- they are exactly the same size as any unprotected CR2 I have used - Ultra Fire is lying or who ever they have make these for them is lying or These are just claiming to be Ultra Fire. Anyway- when I bought these they didn't mention any PCB- They just showed up at my door with this written on them. Watch Out- we don't know what battery factory makes what- I wont use CR2's to vape anymore! Lie- imo Lie- imo

Thanks for everyone kind words and support. As part of our little community I felt that this had to be posted up. My fiance cleaned it up good. I made her pause in order to take these pictures of my leg- I knew you all wanted to see.

Well i was completely wrong about using unprotected batteries. The 5 Volt Detonator did nothing to stop what happened. The vent holes may have helped to minimize the explosion but they did not stop it. It was pretty bad, I come to the forum tonight humbled and regretfull I ever used unprotected batteries. OK so I had just gott some new Bright Blue CR2 batteries from Ebay. They were only a week old. They blew up and burned my leg, and scared the hell out of me. I had the Detonator in my pocket and I must have forgotten to turn it off or maybe it was off, I'm not sure. Anyway " Boom" was the sound it made. I didn't have a chance to do any thing. The vent holes - did nothing. I do not recomend using Un Protected batteries at all. This could have been much worse if I was driving or holding it up to my face. I have heard of some protected CR2's but I do not know if they will run the 510 atty that is in my Detonator. I know some protected CR2's are out there and some are being developed / tested. If anyone has more info about Protected CR2's please post it up here. I want everyone to be aware of what happen to me. Be carefull and stop using unprotected CR2's immediatly. This was much worse than I thought it would be. The explosion went through my pants pocket , boxers and into my leg. The JB weld nose cone held up fine.

The first Mod I made - I called a Multi Volt Detonator it does 5 volts, 6 volts, using cr2's or 3.7 volts using an 18500 It had 2 buttons. Very Hard to Make. A little expensive- but guaranteed. Youtubecommercial on ECF bought the first one- go ask her how she likes it. Contact me at Detonatorecig@yahoo.com for more info

No Comments? I drill into my thumb- in 1 vid. Come on people- go make yourselves a HV PV for 2010. Happy New Year Everyone!

I first saw Maddogs Magnum 6 Volt video a few months ago and I was off and running. Special thanks to him! This is my Christmas gift back to the vaping community. It shows you how to make your own 5 volt mod with LED's. My new video is more detailed than the last one.

A good new fully charged 510 battery can be 4.2 volts but they quickly drop to 3.7 for most of the time in use. .................... btw- The new video is done but uploading very slowly ( in parts under 10 min each- still slow!)but part 1 is on my you channel now ....................

lol There will be more singing in the next vid!

I think some of these 510 atty's that look different might be knock off's All mine have pretty much work great. I will never pull the string out from inside- I've heard good and bad but mine works fine the way it is. To the guy above, missing his ash cap. Try putting the little rubber cap from the cart over the end- really looks cool! Also works great for - "tapping" to get the juice towards the atty.

Ok First off I want to say thanks to Maddog for making the first DIY Magnum Video. I have changed his Magnum into the 5 Volt Detonator. The Detonator 5 Volts is the "Sweet Spot" Can anyone repost these embeded? Problems - I try to use that giant spring to attach the cb outer ring (NEG) to the lip inside the FL- Bad idea! Later I remover the spring. Now I always drill the body and run a wire from the outer ring on cb to the hole in body and solder to the body= Permanent ground. Also the NEG from the cb should just sit on the lip inside the fl and connect ground that way. Soon I will make a better DIY Video with the LED's explained.

Hmmm Australia? I just sent a friend a PV. I wrote 3$ flaslight on the custom reciept. lol Hey this is post 5 - Now I'm out of the noobie area!
