Still haven't taken it to paper, but my brain is close to a solution. You'll need three relays of the type that operate one circuit when closed and switch to the alternative circuit when opened. Essentially, you'll be operating a pair dual battery with relays of this type to select between parallel and series operation. Slave the pairs to a single switch so it sets the same condition. Now that you have the pair of dual battery series/parallel switchable ... use the third relay (of the same type) to join the dual battery circuits as if they were the individual batteries in the first circuit. so you'd need a dpst rocker to set the pair of dual battery as series or parallel and a spst rocker to set the operation of the pair of pairs.
My remaining concern is powering the relays. I'm new to the battery marriage thing and need to figure out how damaging it would be to isolate power for the switches via diodes protecting a circuit off one of the 4 batteries. Ideally, the relays would be operated using a 5th battery (plenty of room for a dedicated 18350 or 14500 in there when you consider the volume of a 4 x 26650 box.
Sorry for the f'd up narrative explanation ... I'm trying to describe the diagram visualized in my head. It is definitely time to move to paper. If I get time after picking up this bike wheel before meeting tonight ... I'll be scribbling. One last thought to throw into the mix ... need to use LEDs instead of regular diodes so that you also have visual confirmation of what circuits are selected. How it's set to fire will mean a lot to your coil selection - strategically placed LEDs can both isolate circuits and indicate what you'll deliver when you press the fire button ... dunno if mosfet will handle the fire job, but sure that a relay can.
My forehead is warm and it's your fault @Taver13.

i definatly follow, and i wonder if it would be smarter to have the relays be powered by all four at once? wouldnt you need twelve volts to open and close the relays?

dude i love this thing, you need it, like seriously, this thing is awesome, got a build of 10 wrap double twisted 30 gauge nichrome in it, .4 ohms and its a cool vape at 115 watts! dont go by the ohm meter in this pic because it was before i tightened the coils up
brb I need a towel!!

also, if i get down to my house today, im gonna see what i have for relays laying around that i have taken outa boats...im intrigued, and this may happen, i think i know the box i wanna build on as well.....ill have a pic later

shoulda grabbed a samurai while you were at it
Man as short as that is idk if I'd like it... I like to pull my coils way up and get LOTS of airflow underneath them...

yeah its basically a freakshow with a different picture on it
Ha... Haven't used a freakshow either!
Wow, I can't believe the first round is already almost over!! It amazes me how quickly we had this box moving compared to some of the other PIF boxes!!

X2 on that one. I still have an extra kidney I'm not currently using if anyone is interested in a trade

It's not a matter of if...it's a matter of when...stay positive!!
I was allowed to vape in the hospitals I have stayed at in the past. However I know New York has some picky-ass laws, so it might be different there. I was allowed to vape at UPenn Presbyterian Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, MD, and my local one, Beebe Hospital, Lewes, DE. Although my state right now is working on passing a law that makes vaping indoors against the law. The only exception is private clubs (American Legion, VFW, Moose, etc) and B&M vape shops. It already passed our state House and is getting ready to be voted on by the state Senate. I think it's really dumb that they are doing this everywhere. Hopefully you'll be allowed to vape where you are going to be, but if not, I'd stealth vape unless someone catches you and yells at you...then just play dumb and say "Oh I didn't know...I figured since it was just water vapor it was okay. It's not any tobacco and there's zero nicotine in this." Hell, they don't know the difference. I would treat yourself to the bottle of Looper if your funds allow it...you need to do little things like that right now to help keep your spirits up.
That thing is very nice looking @Vaperjim
I bet that was a scary experience!
No problem @Lighty269 ...I was just worried that maybe USPS had lost it.
If it's still at your house somewhere, that makes me happy actually.Do you go through that much PG that you order them in the same amounts? I go through twice as much VG as I do PG.
We are the best!!! Damn right!!! PIF Box 6 reached its first stop this afternoon as well...woot woot!!That's cause we ARE the best box

i use pg to make all my extracts, so that takes up a good ammount, and my wife uses 60 vg and i use 40 pg in my lemos and kayfuns, so i tend to go through it just as quick. i use max vg in my drippers and silverplay. also, our juice line is launching soon so im gonna need it....It's not a matter of if...it's a matter of when...stay positive!!

I usually stealth vape. Still not the same as being able to enjoy it. Maybe it is allowed and I just never realized it. Doubtful though. I realize I have to go buy coils and sweatpants tomorrow so will be at the vape shop anyways, so will probably spring for a bottle of Looper and enjoy it before the hospital (and a few drags in there). The anesthesiologist said it was fine to cape right up until the surgery. I thought that was neat because they always said no cigarettes for 48 hours (I never listened but definitely a difference).

yeah, im trying to figure out what flavors are in it, i thought i did when i ordered flavoring but i believe i was way off, needed a second opinion
Yeah I never listened to that either back when I smoked. I'd smoke like a feen on my way to the hospital for surgery.

ill try and get back with my thoughts asap
I wish there was a machine you could put a juice in and it would tell you what flavors are in it...that would be the shit. Plus it'd be vape famous...everyone that DIY's would probably use it at one point or another.

Me too. Always.
I thought the pumpkin tumble was interesting. I think that there was a note of tea in it. It has been awhile since I tasted it. I couldn't vape very much of it.

@anendeloflorien we have a juice in our upcoming line that i think you are going to immensly enjoy....
Who's WE Taver? Do we know who your starting juice line with
just curious, those extracts will be a hit for sure
Ok ... time to let the nosey out for a breather. I'm curious ... how did you arrive at Vrod? IMO, it's the baddest bike Harley makes, but biker boys still look at it as a chick bike. And, who else is involved in the "we?" More than fair if it ain't for me to know. I just figure it prolly came out one of the days I got 10 pages behind and skipped a chapter.
Regarding the relays, power required to switch them will vary according to their spec. I have a catalog for an electronics supplier on the passenger seat of my car. I will try to remember to grab it and see if they list stuff that will do what I'm imagining. Regarding using all 4 to switch the relay ... that'd be hard to do since their job will be to switch battery configurations between series and parallel. I imagine one master battery driving the relay configuration and doing duty to drive the atty or a 5th battery that exclusively powers the relays. I use tons at work, but they are alternating current ... I do very little work with direct current so I mostly tap hobby stuff for DC references.

i see what you are saying there, i didnt think of it that way, alot of my stuff in the marine world is dc, problem is is that alot of it is extremly high amperage stuff so pretty much not usable in this situation. As to the VROD, trying to go for a mechanical auto bike theme going on and i was just sitting there thinking back to when i was at MMI for some reason, dreaming, and i was thinking about the VR1000 race bike they had on display there and BAM, it hit me VROD vapors, and i agree they are fucking sweet bikes
So I have a buddy from work who wants to buy a mod off me to use for medical use and wants to buy one from me says he has $50 for me for one, trying to decide between having to part with either the ipv mini 30w or my ipv v2 50w.....I know it should be a easy choice but still up in the air on it, any suggestions/input?
