    I want to start rebuilding some carto coils, advice?

    One of the great advantages of open coil rebuildables is the ability to simply burn the crud off the coil and wick with an inexpensive touch lighter. Torch it for a few seconds, till the real wick turns white, then with a small artists brush knock the now loose crud off the coil. To each...

    Now I Know The Importance Of Buying "AR" Battery's.

    Which industry is that? The flashlight fanatics? AW's niche is flashlights, their 'Sales Office' is a thread on a flashlight forum. They have no corporate customers and have neither a site or any available spec sheets. "Sleep Mode"? :) Sounds like BatteryU talk where they also say: I...

    I want to start rebuilding some carto coils, advice?

    Well if you want to try Nichrome, get the 80 here. PnJ Resources, LLC : Nichrome 80 The wick looks fine. 36ga is kinda tough to work with, if it matters you won't have many wraps in your coil due to it's higher resistance. If you think that more wraps (for the same ohms) will vaporize...

    Got an acceptable pic of the V2.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    I'll see about some pics later, the old camera I have doesn't focus well or zoom any more. But yes it has the slots, which appear to go a bit deeper. It would appear that the coil legs will now also be shorter. Above the wick the tube is shorter. It also narrows, creating a stop for the...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Well I just grabbed one from MadVapes, the V2, GoodProphets also carries them. Vision CE2 ViVi Nova V2 The positive center contact no longer sticks way out and it has short wicks. The silicone top cap is now just a tube.

    Kanthal vs Nichrome

    I've often had Joye510s drop from ~2.2 to 1.8Ω with use, I assumed it was the crud build up cuz even though they were then pulling more current/watts performance suffered. Dry burns would sometimes help.

    Gripper Mod-Mod...

    Looks very nice, would there have been enough room/diameter to sink the connector in a bit, bringing the top flush with the body? BTW, now it's it's a mod, when you got it it was a PV. :)

    Kicked Mechanical Mod

    I would probably opt for a real switch. Seeing as you are using PVC tubing and it's for work, why not have your tank partially recessed into the tube. Kinda like this.

    Life of Li-Ion Batteries

    If you were using them in a single cell mod you would also notice your initial loaded volts and the cells ability to maintain them have suffered greatly. Those cells sound far past my criteria for usefulness. Folks try to attribute some magical longevity to certain brands. Time and use...

    ni-mh batteries

    I do a proper test with a 2Ω load and you try to dispute it with some formula thing using some voltage you plunked out of thin air? LOL I post an actual loaded volts test, which call misleading and fibbing, and then you counter with some Ohm's Law calculator picture? LOL. Get real, do you...

    Pass through that has no electronics at all, just a switch.

    That's actually how my first was made. A 5.1V@2A power supply from a trashed modem, any loss was actually unmeasurable with my meters. Your heat problem is interesting. My last PT uses one of these. You'll note it has considerably more mass. Hell the collar is even finned .:)...

    ni-mh batteries

    :) Never have I seen so many negative reviews for a product. Amazon.com: Duracell 15 Minute Battery Charger This is a typical dumb charger. You want chargers that use Negative Delta V to determine cut off, not "15 minutes guaranteed". Folks would do well to buy themselves a 'smart charger'...

    801 tank question

    Well your question is kinda vague, so I'll assume you are using an 801 punched carto in a tank. Hopefully you manually filled the carto with liquid first. The other variable would be the size of the carto hole/punch. It may need to be bigger. If you are using an extremely thick juice maybe...

    Evolve DNA 12 preliminary Testing w/ MCU and OLED Display

    Have you tried multiple loads (different ohms)? This guy claims to have hit different watts depending on the load. In his examples it looks like his '5.5V' is capping the watts, while '4.2V' isn't (not as much at least). This is not an unusual phenomenon. Didn't the Kick have some sort...

    Made my own genesis. I need a little help though.

    That's an interesting comment. Here's the the V2 version of the line. The large hole in the threads is the fill port, I wonder what the small hole in the top plate is? There is also igetcha's review of the Katana and how he fixed his wicking problem. REVIEW OF THE KATANA...

    Pass through that has no electronics at all, just a switch.

    Well that PT is made to work off of USB which is always 5V. That it "will not fire below 4.5 volts input" is no big deal, I assume you want lower vaping volts. But calling it a "5V" PT is a joke. The output, vaping voltage is going to also depend on how much current, AMPS are available...

    Un-expected Voltage under load

    You are talking about Adj to Vout? Nuck's resistors are used in the documented Rset mode, Adj to GND. And what kind of range could you get with ~0-100k from Adj to Vout? High of about ~4.6V and on the low end does it just bypass the booster and use battery voltage?

    14500s on an XTAR question

    As far as I can tell, out of their entire line, AW uses 2 Panasonic cells, the middling performing (and exaggerated mAh) 2900 and 3100.

    Lava tube

    Well if you are looking for the official L-Rider made Lava Tube they do not make a 1.5, it is made by a different manufacturer. Be best to avoid it as there have been numerous problems here and overseas. You recommended Smokeanywhereforpennys for a 1.5, but note no where does it say who makes...
