Sx350 - 510 Connectors, Ohm Readings And Other Stuff Needed?

@Spyker - What's the shipping gonna be like on that though? Really wanna try and find locally if possible. otherwise it's easier to use the old man as a pack mule! :rofl:
 
Not sure, but it probably won't be cheap. I plan on adding a few extra things to my order though. So I reckon shipping will be close to $40 for the whole order.
 
I'm leaning towards @crack2483 and going with slowtech. Free shipping FTW. Plus there are some few other things sitting in my basket at the mo. Actually just waiting for them to come with a DNA 30 clone that takes 18650 batteries.

I just don't know the quality though. Will see when mine eventually gets delivered.

Should be fine though. Pretty standard stuff really (from a laymans POV). Just solder some lower gauge wire onto the contacts and happy dayz
 
IMO the battery holder @Spyker order from DigiKey of much better quality than FT's

But $40.00 shipping? I'm could get a 3d rda clone and an Army hollow style mech mod from ST...
 
Why don't you guys do group buy?

I guess we could. But most of the other stuff we can get locally if we had to look hard enough. Communica has pretty much everything else needed for the build except the cursed battery holders!!!

Welcome to the world of product developers, I would highly recommend you to rather pay $$ for quality that will last, than cheapscate that will just frustrate you and place one huge damp on your enthusiasm, but that's just my opinion.

I hear you, but just to play devil's advocate, don't you think it's all made in China anyway?

No its manufactured in the USA by Keystone: http://www.keyelco.com/category.cfm/Battery-Coin-Cell-Holders-Contacts-Clips/18650-Holders/id/413

PS. I'm not playing at all, just want to give you kind assistance from someone who has been doing product development for more than 20 years and don't want to see you ending up frustrated with your project.
 
No no! I'm being the devil's advocate. And if you know that it's a better product I believe you and will take your advice.

But then my question is what else could we get from those peeps in the USA that would be relevant to this build?

Nothing I can think of, the rest like quality switch for firing button you can get locally from RS Components: http://za.rs-online.com part no's: 690-3258 or 102-383
 
The SX350 module will go into protection mode when i.e you have a short in your atomizer. So irrespective if you have a 100A battery, it will not draw more than 35W/4.2V = 8.33A. If the SX350 should go faulty and cause a short, the spring (as provided my Matthee) will collapse within a couple of seconds and long before the battery starts to gets hot. Hope it answers your concern.

PS. I'm really bad at explaining.

Johan, this chip has voltage step down, and from the spec sheet it should be able to fire a .2 Ohm coil (The figures are something like 2.5V @ 12.5Amps (Output Limit) with .2 Ohms which will give you 35W)

So yes, it will fire it, but you wont get the same 80Watts that a .2 Ohm coil would give you in a mech mod.

Does it make sense to go so low on a regulated mod... Don't think so, but it will effectively mean you can take any atty, and get 35Watts out of it
 
Something I'm not sure of on this board - on the specsheet it basically says you can only run up to 4.5 volts

You are right, going lower than 0.5 Ohm will have zero benefit on the SX350 IMO.

Yeah, I see on that ClouporDna30 ad in the Cape Vaping Supplies forum they say "Firing 30 Watts at 0.3 ohms". Seems a bit misleading to me.
 
Well, it's kinda true - it is what it's doing - but a mech is still beating it pants down at .3 ohms
 
Do you guys think that there's any truth to the rumour that the firmware will be upgraded to handle 50W?

I highly doubt it, the buck converter components won't be able to handle that kind of power

Don't know - think they there could be truth to it - theoretically it should be possible
