    Post Count change?

    By my best guess, I lost about 20-50 posts. Recent change to which sections count towards post count? Not a big deal, I'm well beyond the post count milestones that mean anything. Just curious.

    Todd measured it in his review. 94mm, IIRC.

    Sigelei #8 Bottom Cap causing (non)firing problem.

    The problem is that the button is contacting the switch body before the pin is contacting the center post. Uncsrewing the button will move the button further away from the switch body, letting the pin contact the post before the button bottom out against the switch body. It is increasing the...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    As the video states, that's a severe overcharge, not a hard short. Hard shorts on a good IMR are typically anti-climactic, but charging a battery that has been damaged by a short can get exciting. The overcharge and the short are not the cause of catastrophe, rather the precursors to the...

    By nothing more than complete accident...I've made it: 0mg

    I was trying to replicate ECBlend's Dragon's Blood, but stopped trying after this simple recipe turned out so good. 10% Dragon Fruit 8% Strawberry 2% Ethyl Maltol (sp?)

    By nothing more than complete accident...I've made it: 0mg

    Let's just say that my lifestyle is not typical of the average person. Nicotine may be the straw, but the rest of the load cannot be removed from the camel's back. Being one of the few variables, if I have trouble sleeping with nicotine, then take the nicotine away and start sleeping without...

    By nothing more than complete accident...I've made it: 0mg

    So I was mixing up a batch of my current ADV, TFA Dragon Fruit and Strawberry, and I though I had struck gold. It was the smoothest, best tasting, vape I've ever mixed. When the 30ml test batch was almost gone, it was time to mix a bigger batch. Mixed it up, dropped some in my .5Ω IGO-L...

    battery wiring

    Correct. In parallel, capacity and current capability are combined, and voltage remains the same.

    Sigelei #8 Bottom Cap causing (non)firing problem.

    The #8's have some issues where the button's pin is too short to contact the center post on the bottom cap. Try unscrewing the button just a little bit. If it works you can pick up some blue (non-permanent) Loctite to secure the button in place.

    Finally I get it (IGO-L) wowwwwwww

    I use 26 or 28AWG Kanthal and wrap the coil on a ~2.5mm nail. Once the coil is wound and secured in the posts, I'll fire it to a nice glow to set it in place. Then using a eyelet made from some extra kanthal wire, I'll pull 8 strands (single length, doubled over 3 times) of #10 cotton yarn...

    Efest VS AW

    That is a little odd. The AW 18350's have a very flat discharge curve that might lead one to believe that 3.5V is more than it really is, so based on the curve... I'd estimate about 120mAh (15%) remaining at 3.5V. That means that over the period of 5 days (120 hours) the battery would be...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    It nearly is... The thread diameter is slightly smaller that a M3 x .5 screw but the thread pitch is .7, which doesnt match any common ISO standard. A 4-40 might be close enough to work but would probably take some persuasion. One of my 8's came with very sloppy threads and stripped after...

    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    Correct. Mech mods you will use the voltage at the posts, in your case the 3.46V.

    Battery Life - Low Resistance, High Resistance, and Efficiency.

    I have often read posts on the subject of increasing a battery's run time (time between charging) through use of a higher resistance atomizer. The premise is that higher resistance, and thus higher voltage, will require less amperage to achieve the desired power (watts) than a lower resistance...

    Efest VS AW

    Unless your battery is extremely low when you stop using it, it isn't likely that it will drop to critical levels (<2.5v) over a couple weeks. The standby current if most modern voltage regulators is less the 100uA (.1 mA). IIRC, the Provari is around 90uA and the ZMax/VAMO/SVD/ect.. VV/VW...
