Let me elaborate just slightly on my narrow minded viewpoint. Here is some basics on Nichrome 80 wire. The data below is ohms per foot and amperes needed to raise coiled nichrome 80 wire to 400 degrees Fahrenheit in still air. Obviously our wire wouldn't be in still air due to drawing air...

This is a 3s lipo battery. In order to properly charge this battery you will need a rather expensive charger. It will require peak detection charging, and a balance port adaptor to properly balance charge the 3 lipo cells inside that are hooked up in series. The battery packs themselves are...

Part of the fun on these things is learning what makes them tick. BUT... after it's all said and done.... Nichrome 80...38 gauge wire ... approx. 1.5 inches long ....for coils... is what is needed.

Do you know for a fact that these batteries were actually made by Duracell? I work with vendors and distributors all over the USA. Several of which have offered me deals on "Duracell" batteries and other name brand products. Some of these batteries were in fact copies of the real thing. The...

Making atomizer coils. The chinese have picked the right stuff for coil wire. Nichrome 80's characteristics fit our intended purpose. Most atomizers have a static resistance of 3 ohms. Looking at the characteristics of Nichrome 80 wire with a diameter of .004 inches yields the following data...

If you are using a charger with overcharge protection you are okay on the charging end. Once a peak detection charger shuts the charging down... it usually shuts off or trickle charges. The risk is low here is lowered. The problem you face is over-discharging the cells during use, and then...

Most igniter coils are made with platinum wire. They have extremely low resistance and the coil wires are very small in diameter. When pushing these tiny low resistance coils to high voltage the resulting current goes way up!! If you can imagine a funnel where you overfill the top to the point...

If you read the warning labels of most Li-ion and Li-poly batteries they discuss the warnings about the possibilities of explosions. Using protected cells will not eliminate the possibility of explosions, but will reduce its possible occurrence. The chemistry of Li-ion and Li-poly is much more...

With our e-cig atomizer design, we draw air and fluid into the heating coil chamber. The fluid and air is heated by drawing it over the coil with suction. With a glow plug, it would be difficult to be able to this because there is not enough effective coil area exposed to heat the fluid and...

Glow Plugs are shaped much like a mini Spark plug.... for those who don't know. The interior of the plug is hollow and the igniting coil is inside the hollow chamber. These coils are generally made of very thing platinum wire and are designed to be powered by a 1.2 volt battery. The problem...

I have several mods that I have been using rechargeable AAA nimh's with over the last two months. I have used 4 AAA nimh's in series and 3 AAA nimh's in series. My favorite mod is using 3 AAA's in series for quality of taste and atomizer life. I also use a high quality peak detection charger...

The worst analog experience I had was while driving. I normally crack the window slightly to let the smoke out, and have enough room to flick the ash. One day I was driving and flicked the ash a little to hard and didn't realize it. The red hot ash had broken off and flew back into the...

I ordered 6 atomizers and 6 bottles of 30ml bottles of juice on the 14th from Ruyan. I ordered it on the 5-14-09 and it arrived at my door on 5-19-09 via EMS. I wanted to do a small order to test them. There GREAT!! I was away on business when my fiancee had to sign for it. I asked her to...

I'm a nicotine addict... and I want it...preferably non-adulterated please.

I'm not so sure that giving any of these atty's a burn of ten seconds at 5v is healthy for any of them. The nichrome 80 wire used in most of these has a diameter of .004. In looking up the what it takes to heat these .004 diameter wires to 400 degrees fahrenheit it's about .016 amps. To get...
