    Glycerin Vegetable Kosher USP - 1 Quart $8.99

    Funny you mention it.. I just ordered 1qt PG and 1qt VG earlier today. Add on item just means that your total order must be over $25. You can create an order of nothing but add-on items, as long as it is over $25 you still get the add-on "discount". 1qt each doesnt quite come up to $25, so I...

    Mechanical mods and voltage drop

    NoAlOx ---> No Aluminum Oxide As mentioned, it is to prevent oxidation. It does NOT improve conductivity. If anything, it can hurt conductivity. Zinc is actually a poor conductor and is only in the compound to be the sacrificial anode. The zinc particles can prevent the contacts from making...

    advanced batt question

    Take 2 measurements at the posts. One with the inline meter on and one without. Compare the difference. You can also compare similtanious readings of the inline meter vs the posts.

    advanced batt question

    You were getting rid of unwanted resistance, but it wasn't nessisarily wasting current. Wasting power...yes. The current is just reduced due the the unwanted resistance. Current supplied by the battery is dependent on the total resisistance of the complete circuit, and the circuit can be...

    Quite possibly the best Army day ever!!!

    Congrats Sgt....now go find a Pvt to yell at. ;)

    advanced batt question

    I get the reasoning behind the safety "buffer" of figuring current using 4.2V, but I wholly disagree with that method. I've always been an advocate that you should know exactly what is happening in you mod. That method is OK if you you are trying to figure out what resistance would be in the...

    What happens if I attach 2 coils to the same posts?

    I use the straw analogy for parallel resistance... Drink a milkshake through 1 straw, difficult....high resistance. Now add another straw. 2 straws means you have doubled the path for current, the milkshake, to flow. 2 straws is easier than one straw, effectively half the resistance.

    What happens if I attach 2 coils to the same posts?

    Dual parallel coils. Total resistance is half of a single coil...assuming both coils are the same resistance.

    How do these battery graphs translate for ecig use?

    That was me... I plan to test with a fixed resistance to simulate a mech mod and at fixed wattage to simulate the VV and VW mods. I had not given much thought to pulsing the load, but is should be pretty easy with a 555 timer and a MOSFET. Like I said, it's only in the planning stages. It's...

    Electrical tape on batteries?

    Electrical tape should only be a temporary fix. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-mods/331495-how-remove-button-top-replace-battery-wrapper-jacket-pic-heavy.html Fasttech has the PVC shrink wrap without having to buy a whole roll.

    Killer clone combo?

    I agree. I did drill the holes on my trident clone because of the 4 single coil holes: the largest is very loose, next down was slightly too tight, and the 2 smallest were worthless. So I drilled the first 3 to: slightly tight (1/16), just right (#50), and slightly loose (5/64). I find my self...

    How do these battery graphs translate for ecig use?

    As Dr G said, they are good for comparison and not a direct correlation to our use (I might, or might not, be working on something a little more tailored to our style, but it's only in the early stages;)) Most of us spark chaser's spend our time on that site in the Comparator. Battery...

    Which mods have absolute DC Output like ProVari?

    With a magnetic field as an alternate explanation, how does that affect the voltage or stabilize the temperature? You provided an alternate explanation without an explanation. If the answer to that question is inductance, how much inductance does a coil provide (best case scenario for a...

    ..., are these batteries for real?

    I've submitted an RFI to LG Chem. If they confirm the specs then I'm ordering a few of these. I've ordered from SuPower a few times before and have been very satisfied. I have ZERO reason to suspect fakes or misrepresentation from them.
