Hey guys,
I am a beginner, and this is my first - kind of serious - project. I'm building an unregulated vape mod. It's based on a guide you can see here: www.findmyvapes.com/how-to-build-unregulated-dual-18650-box-mod-with-mosfet/
I wouldn't need your help, if I could follow all the steps and do the same way.
So here is the wiring diagram of the guide:

And here's what I made:

I'm sorry for that poor paint quality, I was in a hurry. So basically I changed the fuses, because I couldn't get what the guide said, and I've put a TP4056 charger module in. The batteries are in parallel, and I'm using 15g/1.45mm copper wires all the way.
My questions are:

• Are these fuses good to go with these batteries? 2x 15A PTC with 2x 15A Li-ion batteries in parallel
• Does the high amp affects the TP4056 charger module or it doesn't kill the PCB?
• Will it be only a boom when I turn it on or it's gonna work?
• If it's gonna die, how could I make it work?

Actually the mod itself is done, I'm waiting for the batteries to arrive. But before I try it I'd like to make sure. Many thanks for your help!

 

Not to make this political, but you should stop vaping for your own good. Many studies have shown that it can still be EXTREMELY detrimental to your health. It is not as bad as smoking, but regularly inhaling solder flux is not as bad as inhaling carbon monoxide. I would gladly help you with that simple circuit, if I was not helping you to poison yourself.

Far more lives are lost to dihydrogen monoxide poisoning.

WHAT studies???? I'm not aware of any studies-- just uninformed opinion.

WHAT carbon monoxide???? No combustion takes place in vaping, none at all. The vaping apparatus just uses heat to generate an aerosol containing nicotine, a carrier fluid and flavoring.

I'm aware that at least at one time the AMA came out against vaping; but from reading about their findings, I rejected them as politically-driven hogwash. The Royal College of Physicians in the UK takes a more rational stance, and that is to promote vaping as a smoking cessation aid as strenuously as possible:

E-cigarettes and long-term harm - the possibility of some harm from long-term e-cigarette use cannot be dismissed due to inhalation of the ingredients other than nicotine, but is likely to be very small, and substantially smaller than that arising from tobacco smoking. With appropriate product standards to minimise exposure to the other ingredients, it should be possible to reduce risks of physical health still further. Although it is not possible to estimate the long-term health risks associated with e-cigarettes precisely, the available data suggest that they are unlikely to exceed 5% of those associated with smoked tobacco products, and may well be substantially lower than this figure.

(emphasis mine)

My son and I both quit smoking with the aid of vaping, after trying damn near everything else under the sun without any success.

Actually I'm trying to stop smoking with vaping and it's going nice, but slowly. And I was wondering if I could buy a better one, that gives better smoke, flavour etc. but this way I build my own. Which I am going to be proud of.

WOW really? That's just made me more optimistic about throwing those cigarettes... Thanks!!

Yes, and it went quite smoothly. I had been trying for years to quit and had ZERO luck with any other method. A lady friend who was also quitting introduced me to vaping, and I passed the tip on to my son. Now all three of us are tobacco-free.

 

I am saying that just because one thing is not as terrible for you as another thing, it is not necessarily good for you. I am not saying that there is carbon monoxide released when you vape. It may be better than smoking, but it is better to not vape than to vape. The end goal should be to not smoke anything, not to replace it with something else that's a little better. And they have shown that, especially when used excessively, it can lead to "popcorn lung", and other significant health problems. These are studies where they controlled for previously smoking and other important factors.

 

When I successfully stop smoking, at first I'm gonna try reducing nicotine level. Then, when I can vape only no nicotine liquid, I'm gonna try get rid of this whole thing and give my vape away for another smoker. I used to be a passive smoker and later I also started it. I don't want to smoke, and neither vape. I tried lot of things even that chewing gum. This seems to work, thank God.
So what do you think about my build, guys? Is it okay like that?

 

Well, it's good to hear that you are mindful of your health and are going to quit both in the end. That is the important thing.

That's the way I did it; you start with a high enough level of nicotine that the withdrawal doesn't drive you (and everyone around you, too) nuts, then reduce the nicotine concentration in steps until you're nicotine-free. Once you're used to having no nicotine in your system, you stop.

It works.

I don't see any obvious problems, although I can't address your question about the fuses or about the battery charger module. Everything seems to be connected properly.

Alright, you know, I was just unsure about it. Thanks!!
