Hi, got an idea for my first mod. I have Innokin COOL FIRE IV PLUS vaporizer battery (3300 mAh, 2.0v - 7.5v, 6w - 70w, 510 thread) and I just saw this 510 connector Cree XM-L2 T6 3-Mode 800-Lumen so since the battery conveniently has voltage and current control I expect my future mod would benefit from having fully regulated constant brightness through battery cycle. I thought I might use a powerful 6V 32W XHP70 bin, because why not, it’s gonna be just 10 sec bursts since the battery has a time limiter anyway.
So, what do I need for my project, what kind of driver should I use if any? I need only one mode, that is max output.
You know if you could just craft a screw-on replacement for the tank and atty that turns it into a 3200 lumen monster for 10 seconds you could probably sell that…. don’t know why anyone would buy it, as it’s limited to ten seconds, but i bet they still would if only for the novelty.
Edit: I just clicked the link looks like fasttech beat you to my suggestion, but if you could do the old BLF special to them and sell them for $60 instead of $8…
with most vaporizers, you have to hold the button, it is fine when you vape, and need to hold it for few seconds, but for a flashlight, it is not that convenient.
now that its been BROUGHT UP? some guy was talking couple YEARS back, about wanting to make a flashlight for his eCig “mod”… at the time? we thought it was a “dim” idea…
but, for “high performance” for those short bursts? would be quite a novelty…
By the way, my GXB20 driver is able to output up to 5A at 6V when configured for such high power operation (and if thermally sinked properly), from a single lithium cell. :) The cell needs to be able to supply the 30+W though, which is substantial, and keep in mind that the driver isn't specifically designed to handle that much power (nominal just 3A) unless thicker copper is used for the PCB. However, this will allow full drive of a XHP70 at 6V 4.8A, at least for short bursts.
Where would you put that? Would require dissasembling and reworking the mod since it would need to replace the original switch.
This really doesn’t seem like a very good idea considering the mod is a $50 device designed for vaping. That’s one really expensive battery to be using for other purposes.
Why not just buy a flashlight?
You can probably find a friend to buy the mod if you no longer use it.
Flashlights are designed to soak off the heat that the led produces. This mod has no such characteristic.
I see the novelty value, but since it will require you to purchase something, why not just make that purchase a flashlight? I can’t think of many uses for 10 seconds of really bright light unless of course it is to show off the novelty.
Have 5 flashlights already, none with boost driver and constant brightness which I’d like to have but it’s out of my budget atm. And none above 1000 lumen.
On the other hand I have that mod laying around, so I thought I could play a bit with it.
Would be great for use in photography, illuminating all around a dark scene on long exposure shots with that mod, perfect for that 15 sec time limit.
So, can I wire the led directly without any driver, I guess there is a driver already in the mod, so no need for another one, am I right?
If I set a mod in variable voltage mode and fix it to lets say 6.5V (or even to maximum 7.5V maybe?), is there any danger of led taking too much current this way and burning out?
Will the mod power up once I put my led instead of an atomizer? I tried with a small 3.3V incandescent bulb and it lights up fine. My mod takes coils in 0.1-3.5ohm range.
