pcb help

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hey element14 community,

 

I'm new to element14 and new to pretty much everything on this site. I need help designing a small pcb to fit into a mechanical mod, which is used for vape smoking. I believe in these products because they are giving people a chance to quit smoking tobacco. However, I cannot believe at some of the prices of these units. Because of this I've started to make my own "box mods." I am using a hammond 1950G enclosure (http://www.hammondmfg.com/pdf/1590G.pdf) and the following part:

 

Mosfet: http://amzn.to/1wPvWth

Battery Sled: http://bit.ly/Battery-Sleds

Fire Switch: http://bit.ly/Fire-Switch

510 Connector: http://bit.ly/Standard-510-Connector

15A Resettable Fuses: http://amzn.to/1s1BJVC

15k Ohm Resistor: http://amzn.to/1nV6mj8

ON/OFF Switch: http://bit.ly/Slide-Switch

 

I've been using the following wiring diagram as a basis of how I wire this thing up.

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0608/6153/products/Dual_18650_Wiring_Diagram_1024x1024.png?v=1411856231

 

However, now that I've gotten used to wiring this thing up I've realized this isn't the best way to do this and it consumes way too much room in the already compact hammond 1950G enclosure. Is there any way a pcb could be designed to house all of these individual parts and fit into the enclosure along with the battery sled?

 

I would appreciate any advise, and remember I am very new to pcb and circuit design in general so take it easy on me image

    Hi David, From what I can see you could probably get by with one fuse since the batteries are in parallel and the switches are in series so you could conceivably live with just the momentary push button too. This might free up some space. Compliments on a well written and documented question. I don't know much about Vape but the only concern I might have is if it is regulated and if there is any liability. If you change the design of a unit you also incur responsibility if something goes wrong.
