    DNA 200 Watt

    Not disposable....IMHO, but similar to cellular devices. The chip lifecycle will calm down and you will get a mod that you are happy with for 12 to 24 months.

    DNA 200 Watt

    Now that is a good point. You do not want to start working with high capacity lipos and have no clue. I have seen folks that did not know what they are doing do some really BAD things over the years with them.

    DNA 200 Watt

    I have dropped Lipos, slammed them into the ground at 75mph and charged them at ridiculous rates. I have been around thousands of them in rough RC airplane use (drain at near max rate, charge fast, slam into the earth, rinse and repeat five times in a day), or worse rough off-road rc use...

    Found my 30 watt iron - low enough watts?

    Most should be ok. I use very fine, thin solder as it is simply the easiest to manage.

    Found my 30 watt iron - low enough watts?

    I set the temp based on the solder I am using and it adjusts the wattage as needed, never showing me what it is doing, so I can say.

    OK...nice that something got the workbench cleared off. I will swing buy next week for tacos. I am at the beach this week and having to endure 30mg juice, solicitous blondes, full free bars, gentle surf and a beach front dwelling. I had to scrape myself off the porch just to walk down to the...

    ok...I agree...hopefully they have gone beyond what innovations are already in the market place. Good perspective!

    I hope that evolv has added features as well as wattage. Nickel purity, Ti coefficients, gravity based screen orientation and USB firmware updates...just some of the innovations drawing mod makers over seas.

    I am still curious as to the need to push the wattage so high. Are there that many cloud chaisers our there that there is a market for this? I am rally curious as to what (or watt) is driving this wattage arms race.

    Found my 30 watt iron - low enough watts?

    I use this: Hakko FX888D-23BY Digital Soldering Station FX-888D FX-888 (blue & yellow) - Power Soldering Accessories - Amazon.com It is worth the investment. You can find it as low as $70 from time to time. A hair dryer on high might work!

    funny...steep the juice dear, not the mod. The core problem is that if she gets a leaky atomizer, it may be a day or two before it is addressed. "my atomizer is leaking" "Really? How long?" " a few days, it drained out but I kept refilling it, oh and by the way, can you mix up another...

    Lipo battery question

    I have used them for years. Drain, fast charge, crash in an RC rig etc. I use them in mods and I use them in mods I give to loved ones. That said, I would make certain your mods are prefect...

    It could be a solder joint giving you voltage drop. I would put an 18650 in and see if it improves just to test the rig.
