mega Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 ok I thought of something in my head. If i were to get that little 5v booster at radio shack and wire the hot in to the hot output of a epower ground to ground and hot out to the hot on a atty carto? it would all be inside a tube that screws into my standard 510 epower. and would this be all i need for electronics? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcquinn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 That is a 5 volt regulator,it will regulate a voltage higher than 5 volts up tp 35 volts down to 5 volts @ 1 amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 so what do i use or should i just get,http://www.madvapes.com/Variable-Voltage-Regulator-Board-Kit-Rev-2_p_2994.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 That is the same thing,they are commonly used to regulate 2 x 3 volt or 3.7 volt batteries in series down to 5 volts.I am not sure what component you would need for 5 volts from 1 x 3.7 volt battery.I am no engineer but I am not sure how you could boost 3.7 volts to 5 volts and still have a usable current flow without a big capacitor to store the potentail .All the parts in that kit are what you would need to use the Radio Shack regulator though.

mega Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 oh now i see lol if i was running more power it would work. damn looks like i gotta buy a vv box mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcquinn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I used this kit to make a 6 volt wall wart powered variable volt passthrough. http://www.adafruit.com/products/184 it will accept higher input voltage but heat will become an issue the more volts you scrub off.
