Hey all,
Long time lurker, recently taking the plunge into modding.
One of the reasons I've decided to dive into the DIY modding world is I love to tinker, create, fabricate and make new things. I'm a knowledge sponge and get bored when I'm not doing something new. Electricity has always been somewhat of a mystery to me and I thought this would be a golden opportunity to roll up the sleeves and learn a new skill.
My need: I have a very muted sense of taste and smell due to year-round allergies (curse you, genetics!). I've found I get the best flavor from sub-ohm dripping. My personal experience has been on my bros Sigelei 150w with a Plume Veil clone, .5ohm coil at about 30-35watts. My first Mod was a istick 15w running nautilus Aspire tanks, but once I tried a dripper the damn thing's been in my mind every, single, day. Flavor is night and day different. So I guess that makes me a flavor chaser? I've no interest in cloud chasing at all.
The Build: Planning on a dual 18650 (Sony VTC4s) regulated box mod using the YiHi SX350 mini 60w/120w chip housed in translucent 1/8" amber colored acrylic. More fragile than a Hammond box, but like I said I like to fabricate and having all the guts exposed to the naked eye tickles my fancy.
My parts list:
SX350 Mini chip
Keystone 1049 dual 18650 sled
2x Sony VTC4 batteries
E-Switch 16mm illuminated anti-vandal switch
FatDaddy v4 low profile 510 connector
generic tactile switches from Mouser
2 11amp PTC fuses (still learning about these a little bit)
***YiHi 9V Balancing Charger Board (decided to add this to the mix after sketching out my wiring diagram)
Some math...
Max output Power: 120w
Max Output Power at 80%: 144w
Min input voltage: 6.4v
144w/6.4v = 22.5A fuse needed
So, thoughts/feedback on the diagram? It has no fuses listed as I'm still a touch foggy. Considering two 11A PTC fuses in parallel, just a tad ignorant on the exact specs I'd need in this built. Maybe something like this?
