    DIY Battery-less USB powered mod/510 cable?

    Perhaps a solution would be something like 12v @ 2A. Plenty cell phone charger size switched modes available cheap. 12v @ 2A 0.8Ω 24W. Should be able to make a cloud?

    DIY Battery-less USB powered mod/510 cable?

    The reason I gave up with USB is the max 2A that was divided by the ports on a high end PC. The last time I looked I found a USB hub that you could plug a Wallwart adapter into but it would limit the output to 2A anyway. Having to power it externally still means non plug and play.

    The reason I used the 5v not 3.3v is because I used a Molex plug that could be moved from PC to PC when working on PC's.

    DIY Battery-less USB powered mod/510 cable?

    A couple of years back I had a PC rig that I used that took power from the PC's 5v line direct from the power supply. The power supply was rated for 30A @ 5v but I never built below 0.5Ω usually about 0.8Ω. Was a decent vape, I must look for it again although I use a laptop nowadays.

On 2 occasions just after the 5th I did slip up and light a ciggy but could not inhale. It was like intentionally trying to inhale the...

    Thanks for the offers guys but I am going to get a couple of drippers from Rex and the Panzer to make postage worthwhile. I am sure there would be someone else that could take the devices on offer if still available.

    Broken/Malfunctioning Devices

    I would love to be able to tinker with broken devices to get to know the different chipsets. If they cant be fixed they could at least be fitted with a PWM module and be used by someone in need.
