New MODDER'S Catagories

[scintar]

Are you saying that they tested at 250c or an atomizer can only hit 250c?
I saw that in the Mass Spec the input temp was 300c.
My thoughts are that a modded ecig at around 5volts puts out way more vapor so it must be getting much hotter. What if the atomizers hit 400c or even 500c? Would acrolein be produced then.

YES, If you are using modded hardware over the 3.7 volts used in china made e-cigs... I would suggest using PG based liquid only as there is a possibility that modded hardware produce enough power to hit temperatures over 280C and may produce acrolein.

OK back on subject. Yea the new subcategories rule. I could not find any thing here. Now Its much better. Its easier to find the good stuff, without looking through 500 postings. Thanks Sun for fixing the problem.

It's more confusing with 5 catagories than 1. The mod forum is not really such a hotbed of activity that it needed broken up, IMO.

Oh yes it does need grouping. Your just use to it. But if you were totally, brand spanking new to this forum and totally green to tinkering, then you would find this mod forum very frustrating.

I keep meaning to destruction test an atomizer and find out the exact gauge of NiChrome it's using (by checking the resistance of a measured length). If it really is 38gauge (like the 901 disassembly tread stated), then it's capable of hitting 1000 C with 1A, and only doesn't because of the boil-off of the liquid. Pump 2.5A through it dry (2 fresh Li-Ion batteries) and you could liquefy the wire like a fuse element (melting point 1400C). Only the fact that a wire that fine can't contain a lot of heat energy and dissipates it all making vapor and heating the wick keeps the 2-cell mods from going "POP!" like a old-school flashbulb.

So yeah, it would be comparatively easy for an atomizer to reach 300C even in normal operation.

I see this thread is old and there's probably newer info available, but has it been determined yet whether VG might produce acrolien (sp?) in these units?
thanks

I tried to start a new thread but apparently don't have privs to do this yet so I'll ask here.

Just so you know, I'm totally new to vaping but LOVE IT! However, I can't find a product that is exactly what I'm looking for. So, like many of you, I'd like to try making my own.

What I want is to make a pipe (since pipes and cigars are what I typically smoke) and I know what I want to make, I just haven't found any tutuorials that don't involve a manual switch. I understand how most people seem to prefer those, but for me, I want to be able to walk around with a pipe in my mouth, as I do now, puffing away, without having to hold it.

Are there any tutorials that show how to use an automatic pressure switch that is activated when taking a drag?

Thanks!

Hi,

How can I start a new thread?
I would like to show my first MOD.
I dont' want to sell, but to get public comments.

Got to get that post count up to 15 or better to start a thread and also post pictures at that time I believe. Check out some mods already made and comment on them perhaps plenty of places to post responses to. And looking forward to seeing that mod.



And to show appreciation to the topic I love the way it`s set up now in here.

Thank you so much...

Hopefully, I can post my MOD soon....

While the coil temperature of the atomizer may indeed reach a temperature of over 280C, The glycerin does not, seeing as it catches fire at 176C, so unless anyone notes that their atomizer is on fire, I think we can all be reassured about acrolein
