    self servicing a Bolt

    Lol, yep...29 Palms......:tumble::tumble: 1st Tanks for the last 3 1/2 years now. Honestly, I really like it out here. Make your wires long enough to do the soldering outside the tube. Solder the wires to the connector center post and battery contact. Assemble the connector and battery...

    Is JB Steelstik conductive?

    For our uses, no it's not conductive. If we were talking hundreds of volts, maybe a different story. I use SteelStik or QuickSteel to set all my battery connectors.

    sb 18650 bat!!! How long should i charge it???

    I'm not even sure where to begin.....:facepalm: From the top: -Charge at your convenience. Partial charges won't hurt it. In some ways it's actually better, but that depends on how you look at it....long explanation and its already late. There in no "memory effect" with lithium batteries...

    The 6AMP Beast is Here- Smoktek Smokbox Varicool 6amp USA Mod -Review

    It is the inner workings of a good voltage regulator. I've been trying to get the Fluke software to work on my computer to upload good screenshots, but it doesn't want to play along. So what this means to the Average Joe is that a naked OKR-T6 regulator will provide a flat, low ripple DC...

    Efest 3400mAh protected 18650

    But the only advantage is at a voltage that no eCig will ever use. They are nearly identical down to 3.3v. Might make a good flashlight battery, however for vaper's, it's in the same class as its 2900/3100mAh brothers....overpriced and underperforming in the usable voltage.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Wow, stock Vivi Nova heads......garbage. Tight draw, little flavor, little vapor, poor wicking. 10 minutes of use and I knew I needed to do something. Good thing I read this thread while waiting on vape mail. Tried the cotton over-wick, still dry hits. Drilled out the center post of the...

    Puzzled by VariCool behavior

    That is quite puzzling. Without taking readings with a multimeter it is nearly impossible to diagnose. Since its covered in hot melt, it's even worse without voiding any warranty. The regulator used in the VariCool has 2 shutdown modes, undervoltage and thermal, and a current limited short...

    Gripper Discussion

    The Gripper does indeed hit much harder that what the display reads. Set at 3.0v its DC equivalent voltage (Vrms) is 4.23v. Standard resistance coils are almost a must unless you like a really hot vape.

    Gripper Discussion

    The transplant is on the back burner. The 2 housings I bought were too big for comfort, and I haven't gotten anywhere with designing a case for 3D printing. Too busy with other things right now. Honestly, I built an OKR box mod to get me by until I fixed the Gripper and I've come to prefer the...

    Time for a change, tanks or clearomizers?

    USB 2.0 data ports are rated for only 500mA. If your passthrough has an inline battery, then you are ok. The USB is only recharging the battery and not subject to the full load. If not, you are putting a good amount of stress on your computer. It's been a while since I read the USB specs, but...
