Hello all electronics wizards. I'm looking for a way to get a little more out of my madvapes voltage indicator. As some of you know, this device screws into your atty connection, and also has a battery connector up top for testing your battery 'under load' with an atomizer attached.
So, for example, when I screw the indicator on a device with a 3.7 volt 14500 battery that has been fully charged, I will get a reading of 3.7-4.2 volts, as expected. When I throw on a 1.5 ohm atty, I get my voltage under load to read 3.3.
My question is this. How can I turn that 3.3 number into something that is useful to me. Is it possible to use this voltage indicator to test the ohms of my atty's? If so, what formula do I need to use in order to calculate the resistance of the atty attached? I've been racking my brain on this all morning, and I can't quite seem to wrap my head around it.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey Day, I thought using cartos at home was just for the elderly...no?

If you're going to use your eGo battery, you're going to be looking at different styles of atomizers and cartomizers. Although you can use an adapter to stray away from the native 510 connection, I think that your best bet would be to try direct dripping on a lr510 atomizer, and also try filling a couple cartomizers to see if you prefer the convenience of not having to drip every 6-7 puffs. I would suggest a joye lr510 and a 5 pack of Boge Soft tip 2.0 ohm cartos. You can pick both of these up from a vendor like vaporkings.com for around 20 bucks. This will give you an idea as to what works best for you. Chris and the vaportalk staff have videos posted on this forum that will give you some best practices for using both methods, and they have been a great help to myself as well. Feel free to ask any questions, and best of luck!

Gawk! I'm horrible with design work!
I tried to upload my image, but it's just coming up as a little square piece of the image...and the full size is smaller than a banner!
Am I doing something wrong?

You got it, this would be very similar to using an ego cone on an ego battery, therefore, not much reason for having one for an ego. I have had great success using it on 901 caps and 510 mods like the marks mod.

The juice that I received from Kick bass was regular strength on the flavor, and it wasn't lacking in that department. As for the Rick Krispy Treat, it wasn't too sweet, and predominant on the the marshmallow flavors. If you like dessert flavors, this vendor has that department nailed down!

Hey Basil, thanks for the notes, always appreciate feedback! I wasn't aware that not having the wiring and resistor enclosed on a stacked battery setup could potentially be more hazardous than any other exposed wire job on other mods. I haven't messed around on that top cap at all, but from what I can see, the wiring seems to be really well shielded and tucked away. Then again, he has a lot of crap stuffed up there. In my research I've always found AW batteries to be a fairly safe battery. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in my power choice?
I really hope that you can get your issues squared away with Jay on that unit, I know what you mean by wanting to love a device. I've been really lucky with the performance on mine, and I hope you can experience the same quality product. That being said, I'd also be interested in seeing your re-review of the GLV-2 and hearing what your experience has been, your reviews have always been really informative for me.
Have an awesome weekend!

Hey Uma, thanks for the review! You were saying those are metal enclosures? That looks like a plastic 2xAA project box. If they are metal, I'm definitively interested!

I'm going back to smoking cigarettes! Where else can I get my dosage of Dehydromenthofurolactone, Cyclopentanedione and Dimethyltetrahydrobenzofuranone?

I personally think that if you can try it, you should. I happen to love using a 306, it's been a long lasting workhorse for me. A lr306 on an eGo battery is one of the best small lr vaping combos available. I get great vapor production and throat hit when using the two together.
A few points to remember - Depending on the drip tip that you select, your eGo cone may not fit over the atty. This isn't an issue for me, as I don't mind using it without the cone. Also, I've noticed a bit of a longer break in point vs. a 510lr.
I bought a few a couple months back, and I am still on my first one. Try it out and see if ya like it! Best of luck!

Can't get enough of Mark's wood! Woo hoo!

I'm going to have to go head and vote for GLV-2 from Great lakes vapor as well. It's comfortable, built like a tank, has a lifetime warranty, and I haven't had one single problem with it. My favorite 5v workhorse by a landslide!

Smokie, thanks for that review! I am going to get to my review shortly, I just want to give it a couple more weeks. Thanks for the heads up on the magnet assembly, going to order one of those! Also going to order an AW1670, as I've been using the 14500 with the insert.

Any particular reason for the new topic?

Make sure you are getting PROTECTED batteries for your device. Although your local battery store can order just about anything, I can tell you from experience that Batteries Plus here in Austin doesn't keep protected batteries in stock. Since I don't know what you are using, I can't really give a solid recommendation for what to use, as batteries are different sizes. For 3.7v, I have used 123a, 14500 and 18350 protected batteries for some time without issues. Do you have more than one charger? Since it seems you are having issues over and over with batteries, maybe it is a faulty charger. You also want to be sure that you are using the correct charger.
Remember, you are using batteries in a device that you shove into your face, safety first!
