Welcome! Those flavors sound awesome!!!

You may want to consider Sony VCT5a cells.

I have no idea on the percentage of vape users in India. Vaping is documented to be at least 95% healthier than smoking.

Welcome! Don't be shy. If you have any questions, don't understand something, or just feel inclined to say something just ask or join in. Good people on here! I'm glad you decided to say hi!

Congrats!!!

Here are the latest Pics: Lessons Learned: 1) Always test components individually after soldering (from original fire switch failure) 2) Calibtate the LED DVM before installation (self explanatory) 3) Don't flex Potentiometer leads, they break easily (self explanatory) 4) Use the right tool for the job (center punch - couldn't find and freehand drilled holes, wrong Dremel cutting wheel for meter opening, and drill bit just one size too small for replacement button) 5) Always me mindful to protecting the finish on the Mid Box (protective tape, towel, paper towels, or multiple things to keep from scratching finish) 6) Laser engraving/etching should be the last thing done, not the first (related to #5 anbe) 7) Don't use heaver gauge (oversized) wire just because you think bigger is better (it takes up space!) 8) Case size does matter, allow extra!

Welcome to VT! Feel free to ask about anything Vape related you’re uncertain about.

Welcome back! Well, he isn't far from wrong with respect to inexpensive mass produced China Mods (generally speaking). Personally I have had fairly good luck with most of my Mods with the exception of those made by iJoy. I'm fairly gentle with mine and most of them have lasted. As far as the latest and greatest, I really can't say for sure. Part of it depends on what you are looking for. Personally, I prefer just about any Mod with an Evolve DNA board or a YiHi board. In addition to that I like the Geek Vape Ageis and VOOPOO DRAG. There is a bit of a stir about the Gene chip, which seems to be very good.

Thanks Walt. I learned a bit with this that will enable my next one to turn out better cosmetically.

Thank you.

Finally finished except the cleaning. Had to replace multiple parts multiple times but finally working as it should. Barely able to fit everything into the housing.

Welcome back! I’m new here since you were here... at least I think so.

I personally really like the VOOPOO DRAG (I know... the NAME!). It has performed very well, built very well, and stands up to the abuse of daily use. It's a dual 18650 Mod that gets good battery life too. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10034168/7472200-authentic-voopoo-drag-157w-tc-vw-apv-box-mod Another Mod that I really have come to like is the Geek Vape Aegis. It's a single 18650 or 26650 Mod that is very close to being indestructible. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10037837/8211000-authentic-geekvape-aegis-100w-tc-vw-apv-box-mod

Welcome!

If you think about on time in pulse firing being the pulse width/duration and that gets repeated over and over the hole time you are holding the fire button. That is how you effectively change the voltage going to the atomizer. The longer the pulse on time the higher the effective voltage and the opposite applies too.

That is for adjusting the pulse duration of the 555 when in PWM mode.

A little rough but it will do its job.

Putting up a revised drawing. I ran out of room to put everything in the Mod that I wanted. So, I've gone to a three wire LED VM to act as a pilot (Mod on) light reading 0.00, provide a relative voltage (for adjusting) in PWM mode, and actual voltage in unregulated mode when the fire button is pushed. The pilot LED or the LED VM had to be removed from play. Obviously selection for me. Bye bye pilot (on indicator) LED.

Slow going... wife needs my attention. Happy wife, happy life. Wife unhappy long enough, you're unhappy with half your stuff.

Missed a wire... LOL.

Well... I decided to have it be a dual function Mod. Unregulated and PWM. Corrected drawing (added a diode and simplified for those not electronically inclined.
