Thanks all

This mod making malarkey is really satisfying and somewhat addictive (I look upon it as stage 2 shinyitus), I'd highly recommend it!

I vape at my desk all day so the idea is to be able to pick it up and put it back on its stand as easily as possible. With that in mind I had kind of given up on the idea of connecting the USB via the stand.

Here's what my concept looks like so far:

The mod has matching female contacts on the bottom: two grounds on the outside and live in the centre so that the mod can be put down on the stand either way around.

Thanks VapingBad - I'll go post my question there too.

That looks intimidatingly tiny though, may have to source a load of disused PCBs to practice on if I go down that route!

It's been while but it seems I've come to the end of a vaping plateau and I'm starting to get back into the swing of trying new things. I've recently made a DNA40 box mod (I'll pop a quick pic into a new thread in a mo) and am starting on a DNA200 build.

For the new build I'd like to try and make a charging stand for it as well - without compromising the USB port.

My intuition says this shouldn't be too difficult - find the positive and ground that the USB connector connects to on the board and solder on the leads to a connector on the mod that fits to the stand.

On the other hand my understanding of electronics is limited... Other than not having the mod connected via the USB port and the to the charging stand at the same time, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this would work?

The follow-up question is where to solder on my leads to the mod's stand connector.

Any help would be much appreciated!

First of all, hello again.

I've been away from the vaping forums for quite a while now; I feel like I hit a comfortable plateau where all my vaping needs were pretty much met. I felt happy with my hardware, habits and homebrew e-liquids so I guess part of my motivation to keep coming back took a hit.

Not long before this I had made dot1ml, a DIY e-liquid calculator/recipes website.

Despite not all that much ongoing effort from myself the number of users and recipes on dot1ml has been gradually but consistently growing; there are now over 10,000 recipes on the site. I thought it deserved an update so I've (finally) launched a new version this morning.

The design has had a refresh and there are a handful of new features like mixing by weight and higher accuracy for some values (you'll need an account for some features to work but it is free and easy to register). Mobile devices now have improved support, still a little experimental but functional.

If you're a developer and could be interested in having access to an API to interact with dot1ml do let me know and we'll talk about it.

It's dot1ml.com - comments welcomed.

PS - Apologies if you've already seen this posted elsewhere
