Screw on 5v Booster

It's big, it's ugly, but it works. Of course, this is just a prototype:




Basically, you screw this on to any 3.7v mod and it boosts it up to 5v.

 

That's pretty sweet!! You will need a high drain batt to go with it though.

 

I'm using a high drain 18650 right now. Thanks for reminding me, I was meaning to drop in a regular 18650 and see how it vaped.

Update: I actually like it better with the Panasonic non-High Drain 18650. It seems to give me more vapor and less TH than with the High Drains. Not sure why. I'm going to be doing an extended prototype test on this one before I start working on a cleaner version for possible production and sale, so I'll keep this thread updated.

 

Wow a Chaos copy of B.O.B. impressive!!

 

B.O.B.? Whatcho talking about?

Found it. Yep, more or less the same thing, though I didn't 'Copy' it because I wasn't aware of it. No biggie, there's nothing new under the sun, etc. I'm going to try to cram it into a smaller tubular aluminum housing, make it a bit more palatable for us mechanical tube mod owners. I ended up building this after I spent a few weeks trying to build one that would actually go inside a mechanical tube mod. That was a big fail, BTW. Just couldn't figure out how to easily and reliably ground the chip.
