I am very grateful breaktru for your informative postings and all the help you gave me when I PM'd you with questions for building my .44 booster mod.Copying is the best form of flattery to the creator.Alan, It doesn't seem that breaktru is upset, but it seems that some of his mod build followers maybe.
Well, gee whiz guys, this is starting to get a little brutal ... I have very few original designs, mostly modifications of other people's work, often a combo of several different mods, would be hard-pressed to give credit to all of the originators. This whole world of mods is growing so fast it makes my head spin.I think Breaktru makes wonderful mods and I hope, some day, to be worthy to walk in his shadow. In the meantime, if I stumble upon any cool idea that someone else can use and improve on, they have my blessing to do so.I hope that you made your feelings known to SS with a PM on ECF, in a diplomatic way. If not, you really should. (boy, that's a lot of acronyms). The same goes for me too .. if I step on someone else's design, by all means let me know the error of my ways, ok?Can't we all just get along?By asnider123
Sorry Alan, but the ECF doesn't agree with point of view....They said adios to me when I tried to disclose all of the manufacturers contact names, e-mail addresses, and purchasing terms for 'sample' buyers.....FOR FREE! Bypassing every supplier on the ECF and giving everyone a chance to buy direct from the manufacturer!Yeah, that went well....So PM'ing S.S. is not in my power, Alan. But S.S. welcome to view my opinion and defend his 'honor' in the very same place that he found the original design for his .44Cuz if he were to show himself in here, he bombarded by those of us that feel Dave deserves an apology and/or giving him credit for the design.So if my opinion is too harsh for some and I'm the 'bad guy', so be it.I call'em like I see'em.
I have no hard feelings. I am very flattered that someone uses my designs.More power to them.
I ordered the parts to make a .44 mini booster, I have a question about the caps. Do you recommend leaving off the caps?I also see a member here ask for the parts list and made it and is selling it with a different box mod name at ECF. Didn't see a reference to your mod though.
A big thanks to Breaktru for sharing his design and instruction on this mod. A few weeks ago I didn't know what a regulator did. I put this together and it's working like a champ. Didn't think I'd be able to solder all the components to the pins so I cut up some strip board and soldered to that. The spacing of the pins won't fit into a single board without a lot of bending, so I used three bits and wired the ground lines together underneath. Managed to fit an LED in the end so I can tell if it's firing correctly. Not planning on making and selling them as my own. The cost of shipping the chips to Australia is too restrictive. Thanks again.

Ginjo, see the bottom of the post on the 1st page under "Update:" http://breaktru.com/smf/index.php/topic,215.msg468.html#msg468It says: "UPDATE:I have removed the Diode and replaced the 100k resistor between Pins 3 & 4 with a 10kfor a voltage range of 4.02v to 5.4v with NO load."Also there is a Chart for voltage ranges w/ or w/o diode.
ok, got it finally figured it out...can't wait to build this baby
Good luck Ginjo, let us know how you make out after the build.
Just put together another .44 mini booster.This time with a touch switch and a voltage range that can handle Low resistance Dual Coil cartos.
Breaktru, can I ask for a favor? can you send me a schematic diagram without the diode? i mean I think I can just remove the diode, but I just wanna make sure if the schematic would be the same...
Look at Reply #2 in this thread. Use a wire in place of the Diode between Pin #4 and the Atty center pin. Everything is the same. Also look at the table for Voltage/Resistor in the previous posts.
oh, and i've been meaning to ask, will this work with trustfires without any problems?
If look at the photo on the first post you will see that it uses a Trustfire (with the flame)1 x 14500, 900mah. Imagine it would be even better w/ a high drain batt.
Just put together another .44 mini booster.This time with a touch switch and a voltage range that can handle Low resistance Dual Coil cartos.I really like this mod and hate to part with it but I maybe selling it so I can buy more parts to make more mods.I already have many offers for it but have to devise a fare way to pick a suitor. Some one who can take it for walks daily, groom it regularly and give it love and affection....
The juice tank is a perfect match for your new .44. Wow. Where did you get it?
Dave, is it ok if I use your wiring diagram and expertise to build a TI booster mod? Thanks dude! That's awesome!!!
Cool!!!! First I better learn how to use the 04050 before I take on something new LOL
HI what would the circut look like if I were to use a small tact switch instead of touch?
