hmmm this little 5v step up power pack thing works nice...


It was originally posted by Codfish here but it was easy to make in a about an hour.

This i snagged from radio shack $12.99 was a emergency LiPo cell phone charger.


Then used this "part number: 274-1582" as the atomizer attachment. 

Had to add a drop of solder to the tip of the center pin to accept a KR8 cartomizer, but since i had a 808 battery to 510 atomizer adapter i just used the 510 for the most part. But it will support a 901 model atomizer and cartridge.


The switch i had laying around it was a 1A rated 120v switch... push button SPST.

Construction was pretty dam easy.....

 Tear it apart de-solder the mini-usb male, place the power wires to the atomizer on the usb rails, although on the ground side of the usb male connection, you can jump together those 3 pads to get more surface area to attach the ground wire. 
(because the 2 to the side of the ground pad are not used)


 The insides of this thing are nice... i can think of a lot of mods to do from the ECF forum using these guts with different LiPo's, as for protection that's a different story, the usb pass-through and charging circuit is great if  you don't want to design your own... but at home for simple 3.7v projects hehe..... limitless.

Hmmm think of the bartleby as an investment...

once i figure out what voltage to get... i guess a 3.7v model would be ok for a start. since the batteries i ordered for my kr-808 are petering out early, i smoked normally like a fiend... lol

the bartleby has a built in pass-through charging thing which would be good.

Dam... the juice tastes funky...

either goodprophets.com changed his Winston flavor or that mixed with the Marlboro flavor in the original cartomizers... but man the Winston juice doesn't taste the same as the original 11mg 30ml bottle.

WOW.... Think i just found a new Cartomizer mod.... for the Kr-808

I took a kr-808 cartomizer that was empty (have 10 floating around here), and one of the Nicstick 510 carts.... torn the top off the cartomizer to exposed the inside wicking dipped 5 drops into the cartomizer and then topped off the 510's cart and placed them together.

Kr-808                Nicstick 510

Its like a super cartomizer!

Works great, and with the design of the 510 cart it doesn't drip as bad because it sucks up into the 808's wicking.

Cuz i cant master filling these Fricken things therefore i will BUILD something that can.

Ripped apart an old parallel port flatbed scanner to get the parts... the stepper motor and track were the important parts. The BS2 stamp2 will run the motor pulsing at set intervals moving the syringe slowly in then out, to flood fill the cartomizer with a forced (sucked) drain.

All that's left now is to "acquire" two Iv tubing assemblies with 1 way valves. going to use an old click pen (large kind) to hold the cartomizer in place during the filling process.

Part 2.....

Using the "Ez-Refill" syringe i got from goodprophets.... i managed to use that old scanner drive to pump the syringe and drip into hte cartomizer, using a Basic Stamp 2, a big medicine bottle, and some IV tubing...

i'll post the video...




here it is with a smaller (thinner) syringe... eh almost there, not accurate worth a dam, but till i get the servo's i might as well have fun.
