    The "WeekEnder"

    I am really bummed out. My ECD meter got fried. Testing a .8ohm on the Raptor at 25 watts, a spark and then that God awful smell of burnt electronics. Now it just flickers permanent readings and no current goes thru it.:mad: SJ where are you on the new model?:oops:

    Raptor Flip-Top VV Mod with 20A, 120W dc/dc converter...

    Wired the 1s6s like we do in RC to monitor each cell. When the DP3T on off on switch is set to the imput side, the meter reads cell 1v then cell 2v then the total v of the two, both unloaded and loaded. Excuse the hand drawing.:)

    Thanks mamu, I went ahead and ordered the 6.2v zener and will replace the 5.6v and also use it on the new Raptor coming.:) I used a 2 wire meter on the first one, but on the second I will wire a 1S-6S voltage reader so it will show each cell and total.

    The "WeekEnder"

    By vertical channels you mean the juice channels? IMO not necessary, I have to pack it tight to keep it from flooding. :) Got six going with R41. From 1 ohm to 1.8ohm. If i pump the watts up it actually boils the juice back out the vertical channels and down the vertical coil. 24 watts on the 1...

    The "WeekEnder"

    Setup a second Russian with a 1ohm R41. Wrapped at 2mm dia to reduce clogging. Am I the only one still using the R41? This new set up is hitting very good on my weekender Raptor at 22watts.:)

    Dual 1.2 give you the surface heating area of a 2.4, much healthier than a single .6 :vapor:

    "A few doctors here should explain what dry hits are chemically, probably as bad or worse than an analog hit." If you use battery knowledge no problem. IMO The dry hits are a greater risk. There are lab test being done at present. Chemical reaction from overheating juice and the effects of...

    As long as you do not go over the 4 amp limit using both simultaneous it will work fine.:)

    I buy these by the dozen. Easy to mount with the nut and also easy to solder the neg wire to the nut.:) https://www.fasttech.com/products/1563302

    See for yourself. Russian 1.3 ohm R41 at 5.02v.. Imput volts at 7.47v when fired goes down to 7.42/3. :) Clic pic for video.

    That is ok also just never use both at a setting that will go over the limits of the source. A long time ago I picked up a 12v 5 amp with 4 outlets.:)

    Battery Internal Resistance Measurements

    ;) I have a meter connected to a battery and I get two readings, one static and one under load when I press the fire switch. Have no idea what you mean by the delta,,, battery input between pre-fire and post-fire

    It was maybe half an hour since I had ck the imput before it started to flash and flicker on output. Anyway I ck all possible shorts and am giving it another test before switching diodes.:)

    IMO I would sooner play Russian roulette than vape a .36 ohm coil.:) A few doctors here should explain what dry hits are chemically, probably as bad or worse than an analog hit and I won't even get into battery safety.

    Battery Internal Resistance Measurements

    Probably, except different manufacturers kind of fudge their numbers. Best to have the meter or Baps lab. I was really surprised with the A spec. Most of my DIY mods have a meter that reads both imput and output. I had never seen less than .2v drop on any batteries and most .4v and more, but I...

    Ditto.....RCers really work at getting the best connection possible and those are the preferred..:)
