    Ribbon wire coil building

    Hot legs or hotspots will give you harshness. How do you wick it? Pictures?

    Ribbon wire coil building

    You can make regular touching or spaced coils with it. Just like round wire, just a bit more fiddly to build with. Pros: more surface area, possibly better flavor. Cons: Less rigid, more difficult to build and rewick.

    Evolv Technology Owners Discussion Thread

    We're gonna need atomizers that support multiple coils wired in series. I've tried to build gigantic coils with Ni200 just to try a higher wattage DNA 40 vape, but I don't like the vape from them big coils. Two or three small coils in series, on the other hand... that could be good.

    What qualities make a mech mod good?

    - Build quality, look, feel. Mostly subjective. - Voltage drop is a roundabout way of alluding to the resistance of the mod. - Springs and magnets, both work. I like magnets - because I like'em.

    Temperature Control A Different Way?

    An electrical heating element, unlike an electrical motor, actuator, transformer, conductor or semiconductor, has a theoretical efficiency of 100%.

    Temperature Control A Different Way?

    Temperature and heat are two different concepts. When you fire a mod at 20 W, you already know the heat - it is 20 W. If I understand you right, the temperature is what is interesting here. And the temperature can not be measured via, or inferred from, the magnetic field from the coil. It may be...

    PROGRAMMERS! Software and databases...

    Personally I find JSON much prettier than XML, but that's of course a subjective thing. Anyway, I think the best approach may be first deciding what information should be present, and only after that deciding how to encode it. Ok, just thinking out loud here ... So what constitutes a e-juice...

    What are Mahs? Is this the battery life?

    You can read about mAh on Wikipedia. 50W battery? Do you mean mod? Anyway, here's an article about watts. Variable voltage means adjusting the voltage of the mod to your liking. This also affects the watts. Variable wattage means adjusting the watts of the mod to your liking. This also...

    Battery question

    The only plausible explanation I can come up with, is that boosting is more efficient than bucking. Buck-boost converter This assumes that the atomizer current is identical to the battery current. That would be correct for a mech mod, but in a regulated mod it is not the case. 50 W at 1 Ohm...

    Battery temperature

    There's a big difference between warm and hot. Are you sure the heat you're feeling isn't coming from the atomizer itself transfering heat to the mod? When the mod gets warm, take the battery out. Is the battery hotter than the mod, or colder than the mod?

    Battery drain uneven in Parallel Box mod??

    Personally I wouldn't run a 0.1 Ohm load on anything less than three parallel 20A batteries.

    Ni200 pure Nickel Wire

    Ni200 is not Kanthal, and Kanthal is not Ni200. They're different kinds of metals. Kanthal is made from iron, chromium and aluminium. Ni200 is pure nickel. But you generally wrap the coils the same way. Even though with Ni200 spaced coils may be better than touching ("micro") coils, because...

    PROGRAMMERS! Software and databases...

    Have a look at JSON. Here is a quick example of a JSON object that I threw together. This is a mix of 7% VG nic base with 2% PG nic base, some flavorings, and some pure PG/VG: { "name":"My Random Recipe" ,"author":"Dampmaskin" ,"version":"1" ,"date":"2015-02-18" ,"license":"Public Domain"...

    Happy Bday Volta

    Happy birthday Alessandro Volta! Without you, vaping "pass-through" would be our only option. :vapor: :bday: :vapor: :toast: :vapor: :party::vapor: :headbang: :vapor: Google's got a nice doodle too.

    Makes her cough

    Do you also vape? Is the vape acceptable to you? If so, she might be less tolerant to certain base ingredients than you. So, you could ... Try VG based juice instead of PG based juice. OR Try PG based juice instead of VG based juice.

    I made a calculator

    Cheers guys. There's a new feature in the juice calculator: Add flavorings by percent.

    just got my vaporshark ni200 coils.

    How is the vape? If the vape is good, all is good.

    What he said. Provided you're adjusting in Fahrenheit, that is. ;)

    questionnnn

    It's the temperature to which the e-liquid is heated that determines what chemicals the liquid breaks down to (if any). Watts is about heat, and temperature is much more than just heat. Volts you can basically forget about, they're even farther removed from the temperature in this chain of cause...

    wire gauge

    If you go to my coil calculator and click the small "Converter" tab right above the results on the right, you can convert between AWG and millimeters, inches and what have you. If you go back to the "Results" tab, and play with the input values in the calculator, it will show you what effects...
