Hi breaktru and everyone! I just got all the parts to build myself my first 04050 booster but I can't find the resistor to Vout table with and without diode anymore. I'm sad... help anyone? Thanking in advance
Okay, so I broke down and bought an AW IMR 14500. I wanted to see what all the hype was about.Do they perform better? Cranks out 0.34 more amperage. Not really noticable.Battery life is half of what the Trustfire gives me.My Trustfire flames are 900mah.The AW IMR is 600mah. Wish they came w/ more mahs.
Thanks Breaktru -- Now I just need to figure out how to stuff all of this in my tube mod. I dont want to walk around with a foot of pvc in my hand Devon
That's what inspired me to shrink my modules huhuhu. Oh... SMD components really helps with real estate issues... my latest @16mm tall, 18mm diameterIt's not a 4050C booster though... but just here as an inspiration as I was inspired with breaktru's
Thanks for the awesome mod instructions. I made one this weekend, a .45 caliber. I used a 10k pot from Radio Shack and connected the center post to the negative post of the pot like the diagram shows and I am not getting any adjustment when I turn the dial. It is a single turn pot and I used 10k resistors in the circuit so I should have a pretty good range. Did I do wrong by making the connection between the two legs of the pot? Or maybe the pot is bad? It vapes great no adjustment.
I already took it apart, but here is a diagram of how it was wired. Well....I can't figure out how to insert an image stored on my computer so I will try to explain. 3 legs on the pot, left, center and right. left is to circuit ground, right is to the 10k resistor that goes to post 3 on the regulator and center is connected to left post on the pot (the one that is wired to the ground). I thought this would allow it to work as a variable resistor.
Looks like I toasted the resistor to the pot (power in one side nothing out.). Will have another one in in a minute.
I've got one more 4050. Is there a way to check it before wiring it up.
Here's my finished 4050C. goes from 3.8v to 6.3v. huhuhuCredit goes to breaktru for his beautiful schematics and guide!
Very nicely laid out. And very compact. Did you cut out the cover to show the meter and is there an on/off for the DM?
