Prouddad Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's not what he meant at all, but I couldn't resist. WOW thanks I get it now. "A" you cleared it all up for me, to build one you need $24! I had three already in a month and all broke, they are all made flimsy. I just figured someone made one very strong "Hell" people make mods out of toilet paper roll's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeG Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 You had three pass through batteries die in a month?! Holy crap, man! I'm really sorry. I imagine you've contacted the vendors about it? I gave one from here at VT to my cousin about three weeks ago, it's still going strong. But she was only a half pack a day smoker, so I don't think she uses it too heavily, I mean, only in the car, when at the computer a few hours a day, and on breaks from work. Good luck, prouddad, on your quest for a better made PT device. Sorry for being snarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimeeG Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 User error? And you thought my response was funny?! Well, then, snark back on in full effect! Maybe put some duct tape around the cord so it doesn't get damaged too badly from yanking on your new one. From here at VT. For $24. Duct tape is maybe 24¢. Best and vape on!

WillBlack Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well there is really nothing to them, and they don't require much soldering either. My first, powered by a modem power supply (5.1V@2A) I had laying around. Gives me a measured 4.5V with a Joye atty. The advantage of a modem/router power supply, hardwired, is that all the current should make it to the atty . No additional resistance due to USB connectors/thin wires. You can find router 5V@2.5A router Power Supplies on Ebay for about $10. These will give true 5V with Joye atties and run 1.5Ω LR atties at a nice ~3.7V. My latest, this is USB equipped, using a 2000mA adapter. This gives me a measured ~4.15V with a Joye atty (I kept the USB cable to ~28"). The pics should be self explanatory, there's not much to them. Some sort of stress relief where the cable enters is a good idea. Top is just 2 layers of heat shrink, bottom is air-line tubing (some adhesive was added later). Howiroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
