Are you trying to give me a migraine?

This was meant to be a simple vv box mod. Now its turning into the complete opposite lol

Does anyone know if mamu's build is correct? I'm an idiot with leccy but I wanna do this and do it safely

Yes,mamu has posted a couple of revisions to his diagram as the 1st one he/she posted was wrong apparently.

Thanx Chegs
I'm looking at the Sept one so I imagine its the newest then, time to figure out just what is what and where to get it

Ok, so I've been looking at sourcing some parts and I've now got a few questions.
1.firing switch, how many amp should I aim for?

2. There's an on/off/on switch connected to the voltmeter, how many amps should this be?

3.capacitors 22uf 16v, but what type as I cant tell, are they electrolytic or tantalum bead?

Thanks

1) whatever you like to use,the switch only carries mA

2) As above,the local model shop will supply this(eBay if you have no model shop,like me)

3) I got electrolytic from eBay

Wont the switch get hot though if its not high enough amps?
Ive found tht onoffon on amazon along with a lot of other parts that i cant find on the likes of a few vendor sites.

I thought this was meant to ne a cheap way to get vv . its already over £70

That's why I bought an MVP rather than do a build, although I do plan on doing one I am just waiting till I'm a little more flush

I know what you mean. I have an mvp but I even had to fiddle with that and change the ego thread to a flush 510.lol
