    Newbies giving me "advice" (rant)

    Funny read, RB... I'm going to approach this from a different perspective - if I may. Like any enthusiast pass time - particularly one with a decided technical bent - there are those who know, and those who "think" they know. I suspect the goal of your cousin is to demonstrate to you how...

    Mutation x v2. Better coil than dual parallels?

    Hi Jim, Per the Steam Engine coil modelling calculator... your build numbers aren't adding up. 7 wraps of 28 A1 on a 2mm mandrel (with a net (4 legs total) leg length of 10mm) is more like 0.6Ω. A net 0.3Ω dual parallel build would require a 3 wrap, if all other variables are the same. Also...

    Not at all, 'P'... quite the contrary. We're on the same page for both a basic explanation of just what HC is, how it applies, as well as it's value when compared to other variables. As this all started with the question: "so, what the hell does mJ K-1 mean in the real world?"... being able...

    First coils... need a bit of help/reassurance.

    Welcome to ECF, Blood... Your Steam Engine photos are too small to read, and only blur when resized. When you have a bit of time, click on my second sigline hyperlink. This SE user guide may serve to clarify many of the issues you have... and several you've not yet considered. ;-)

    Any tips for quad coil builds?

    Why is it difficult... because your not used to putting twice as many coil legs through the post holes? If you've not used a coil modeling programe before... click on my first sigline hyperlink below. If you want a better understanding of the variables in Steam Engine... click on the second...

    Sub ohm help

    At 0.9Ω, a dual, 2mm ID, parallel coil build, using either 29, 30 or 31 gauge Kanthal A1 wire, with a net 10mm leg length will produce a heat flux of 161, 227 and 322 mW/mm2 respectively. Heat flux is the coil(s) radiant temperature, expressed in milliwatts per millimeter squared. Adjusting...

    Thanks very much boss. :tongue: I do not. I've looked high and low for the exact reference to the mJ K-1 value (I imagine the mJ is millijoule, but the second part, I don't know if it's Kelvin, or what the upper '-1' references) but I've not had any success. Funny thing is, I've had a few...

    airy draws

    I don't have any experience with either one... but the former 16D appears to have at least 1 inlet air through-port in the eGo thread base, and if more than one, you can simply cover one with a bit of tape... or even your finger. With the latter Nova, air intake (2 inlets here?) appears to...

    airy draws

    Welcome to ECF, Tomatoz... As daleron asked... it's always good to know the specifics, when asking questions. Generically speaking, any outside, fresh air inlet can be blocked, or restricted in size... depending on the atty.

    Safe Vaping Range for a Dual Coil Clearo

    I'm going to explain a few things, Javamon... and I'll be referring to coil setups as "builds", which will allow me to provide examples. As you're (apparently) not a rebuilder, I realize that some of this may be theoretical to you... but as a rebuilder, it's all real world application - both to...

    best atomizer for agnarok mod

    Welcome to ECF, lamumu... Actually, although your battery has a Maximum Continuous Current Discharge (MCCD) of 30 amps... with the build you have, you're drawing a bit over 12.7 amps at 0.33Ω. Net resistance establishes discharge... where volts divided by net resistance equals current...

    Copper Smpl mod clone from Fasttech ?

    Welcome to ECF, Twonnie... I wouldn't get too stressed out over the details, until you see it. If the SKU is 1943605, for the 1:1 version... you've got a better than 50/50 chance of it being just fine. At best, a complete disassembly, a good cleaning and light break-in lube... at worst, a bit...

    Bettery Compatibility with Subtank

    No problem... It's not the rating for a coil alone, Dben... but rather the coils radiant heat value - expressed in milliwatts per millimeter squared - of the specific coil resistance and construction... for the maximum 15 watts you are limited to. You can run the numbers from either...

    Welcome to ECF, GB... The above sounds like they're on the ragged edge of hyper-paranoid. I don't know what you bought, or for how much (or what sort of past con-job encounters that would make them so twitchy)... but apparently, it's enough to make them spend an inordinate amount of time...
