Variable Voltage Regulator Board Kit

[jiggsbro]

I've a couple of box mods in mind and so I'm trying to remember all the electronics I forgot thirty years ago...and I'm thinking it might be simpler to buy this kit from Liberty Flights www.madvapes.com/Variable-Voltage-Regulator-Board-Kit-Rev-2_p_2994.html

Anyone have any experience of, or opinion on, it?

I'm more interested in the box design than the gubbins at the moment, so I'd like something cheap and simple I can put together quickly and use as a test rig in the prototype boxes. Is this kit it?

I use these :

in conjunction with these:-

IMHO it is not worth the money. I have got one and it is basically a 3A variable voltage regulator with a few resistors. It is their NCP630A 3 Amp Adjustable Regulator with the addition of "2 resistors a Variable resistor and a little printed circuit board" for an extra £3.50. You can get the parts cheaper elsewhere. It does not even come with any guidance or instructions so you'll not know what to do with them if your a novice (I know you said your trying to remember what you did ..... years ago so not calling you a novice)

Thanks. Ebay it is, then. I was going to ask the dimensions of the LM2596 board, then I looked again at the price and thought I may as well just buy a few and play with them. Then I stopped looking at the price and saw the dimensions are on the photo. ##

And I do feel like a novice at the moment: it's frightening how much I've managed to forget by moving from hardware to software. I'm pretty sure I could source the parts and assemble a board, but at the Ebay price, I don't think I'll bother.

I have also ordered some things from flea bay.

First of I got some of these

Then these

And

And

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150811896525?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

And

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150841258383

Now this is something a bit nice if you use your imagination

It takes a pack of 3 AAA batteries, but it also can take a 18650.

If you look about for the vaping mods that have the detachable section for different batteries they cost a lot and here you get the main components for £3.50 delivered

Just some food for thoughts for you

Why three different volt boards? Or these just different option I'm going to try build my own vv dual 18650 vv tin mod, so these wi come in handy, don't suppose you have a link for 20awg wire, I'm totally new to building em so wire choices are confusing me tbh
