Booster?

[mega]

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?

i acctually drew up something right quick.

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.

so what do i use or should i just get,http://www.madvapes.com/Variable-Voltage-Regulator-Board-Kit-Rev-2_p_2994.html

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.

Not sure how many amps this will pass but this is the sort of thing

oh now i see lol if i was running more power it would work. damn looks like i gotta buy a vv box mod

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.
