    opinions on wick

    burned the wick on this test, seems the the micro coils really help hold the cotton fibers in place.

    opinions on wick

    oh yes, you are quite correct. the wire could be creating a layer of "steam" essentially so that the wick and wire are seperated by a layer of e-cig vapor.. this is commonly known as the Leidenfrost Effect. its mostly widely known demonstration of the Leidenfrost Effect is when a person puts...

    opinions on wick

    but now we know what a short looks like on the meter, so now i can try to fiddle with this some more and see if i can get it to stop shorting out. using this chart for mV to °C conversion. the reference point is 0 °C for this thermocouple and meter...

    is that an IR temp gun?? what is he aiming for? the heat sink on his atty?

    opinions on wick

    the wire is here, so i can now run tests using an ungrounded, non EMI shield thermocouple well i wait for my other stuff to arrive! i plan on running a few tests on this one in the photo so i get an idea of how accurate this will be. then building another and running the tests to get some...

    So I wonder if i am crazy?

    1 ampere = 1 coulomb / 1 second Current has to do with the number of coulombs of charge that pass a point in the circuit per unit of time. Electric Current

    Weary About Trying Other Juices

    the issue is that some rather large unscrupulous vendors in the past have done things like put diethylene glycol in the e-liquid because it makes for a smooth throat hit.. BT also uses diethylene glycol as a humectant for tobacco, it also makes the burning tobacco smoke easier on the throat ...

    Weary About Trying Other Juices

    unless i make it my self... i stick with big well known brands. i really liked totally wicked e-liquid i still use some of there flavor concentrates in my DIY e-liquid. there are a ton of different things they could put in the e-liquid, that are considered "food grade". MSG being one of them...

    So I wonder if i am crazy?

    Yes as amperage increases resistance decreases and vise versa as resistance increases amperage decreases bigger wire / multi-stranded - more surface area - less resistance Amperage is not the volume of electrons it is the speed the electrons are traveling at.

    So I wonder if i am crazy?

    "The bigger the hose, the more water that is flowing in terms of volume not speed" the diameter of the wire effects the resistance, because you have more atoms that can freely exchange electrons. only the electrons in the valence orbit freely exchange from one atom to another.. the size or...

    So I wonder if i am crazy?

    how MUCH, would be the volume amps is the distance traveled over time... or Speed.

    Do I need to worry about setting off my smoke detector with this thing?

    i have optical smoke detectors in my house as well, mine takes direct hit from a big cloud to set them off.. but yours might be more sensitive.

    Do I need to worry about setting off my smoke detector with this thing?

    if you have an optical smoke detector, Then yes you can set it off with e-cig vapor.

    this chart is for a Provari, but the same principles hold true for most VV mods. it will really help put things in perspective http://www.provape.com/v/images/ProVariV1vsV2.pdf

    So I wonder if i am crazy?

    Volts x Amps = watts so you can increase one and decrease the other and end up at the same wattage. if we imagine a garden hose in our mind. this hose is the coil wire. (or any conductor for that matter) and the water flowing in the hose is the flow of electrons. Volts is like the water...

    DIY VG e-liquid recipe (help!)

    what flavor from what vendor are you using? PG makes my mouth and throat feel likes its covered in a layer of slime so i don't use it much if at all. i also dont add Vodka or Pure Grain Alcohol AKA PGA. some non PG flavors come already dissolved in PGA. PGA for me has a harsh throat hit. here...

    DIY VG e-liquid recipe (help!)

    can you try to describe the bad flavor? is it bitter? soapy? is the throat hit harsh?

    DIY VG e-liquid recipe (help!)

    %20 favoring is the upper limit for most flavors.. try %10 PG really helps carry the flavor if you don't use any PG then you should really let it steep

    Intro and help request GLV2

    you could also the check the resistance of the cartomizer, and the resistance of internal resistor in the GLV2 with your ohm meter. this would also be good information.
