SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design and construction of a Multi-use Vaping Mod that integrates an e-cigarette with a USB charging device for mobile phones. The creator seeks assistance with circuit design, specifically in combining the two functionalities into a single circuit. A 50kohm potentiometer is mentioned as a component to regulate voltage and current to the atomizer. Participants express skepticism about the feasibility of the project, suggesting that it may be overly complex.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electrical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with circuit design and components
  • Knowledge of USB charging standards
  • Experience with potentiometers and their applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research circuit design for combining vaping devices and USB chargers
  • Learn about voltage regulation techniques in electronic circuits
  • Explore USB charging protocols and their requirements
  • Investigate safety measures for integrating vaping and charging functionalities
USEFUL FOR

Electronics hobbyists, electrical engineering students, and anyone interested in innovative vaping device designs or USB charging solutions.

Hi all,

I am designing and building a Multi-use Vaping Mod as my idea of chose.
This idea is based on two things, an E-cigarette and a USB Charging device output to charge a phone via USB all combined into one.
But I need help with the circuit designing, because I am struggling with getting it to work as I don't have much experience in electrical engineering, This is what I have done so far to designing the circuit I want... in theory I just need to join them up and make them one circuit, but I don't know how complicated or simple that would be, and that's why I'm here. :)

NOTE: The 50kohm potentiometer will adjust the amount of voltage/current going to the atomiser.

Please... all are welcome to help and share ideas. :)
Thanks
