Description:

OpenPV (open-source personal vaporizers) a place on reddit where you can gather knowledge to build you own vaping/ecig device. Ask questions, find diagrams, learn about different components, how to wire various boards and recommended parts & retailers. Get and share help about drilling, soldering, CAD, 3d printing, PCB design & assembly.

Disclaimer:

No one here is responsible for any damages, in any way shape or form. Nor are they liable for anything that goes wrong as a result of their information. Mistakes can be made by people but you are solely responsible for double checking their work and making sure it's safe when you build your project.

Guidelines:

• Please familiarize yourself with ohm's law

• Observe ratings/limitations of batteries, boards and components

• Push button switches are not rated for high current, please search or ask about using a mosfet

• Components should typically be bought from well known electronics distributors such as Digikey, Mouser and Farnell. Search Octopart if a component is out of stock. Components from Amazon or Ebay may potentially be counterfeit.

• Sale posts for parts, components and tools are ok
