    Tophet alloy C for atomizer coil

    gave up on the tophet alloy C because it required too much wire to create a usable coil. 7 ohms per foot required almost 6 inches to make a decent atty, which was a little large to fit into any of the tubes I had on hand.

    The Truth About Electronic Cigarettes | Quit Smoking (Yesterday) Already has some good commentary WHAT FLUIDS ARE CONTAINED IN THESE E-CIGARETTES? The fluid used in many e-cigarettes, commonly called “Ejuice” contain the following ingredients: Propylene Glycol, which can cause...

    SEPIC converter MOD

    you say enable pin to ground shuts it off. Is it an inhibit, or a full off? The evercool still draws 1 mA of quiescent current. To increase battery life, I've been playing around with a P channel MOSFET on the VCC of the evercool, after the bypass cap, keeping the cap charged to further...

    Oops - I did it again!

    this happens to me on a monthly basis, which is a lot better than the daily, then weekly basis it happened when i first started out.

    the link i provided should accomplish that, it lets you set the cutoff voltage on a per cell basis.

    EverCool v v Tekk mod

    i think i just found my next project. it has pretty much everything I wanted to incorporate in my next mod, except a touch sensor, but I only need room for a sot-23-6 SMD and 2 SMD caps. Think there is enough room?

    Are 5v PV's better?

    not necessarily, different alloys have different resistance/foot. Wire gauge comes into play as well. just from an electrical standpoint, everything else being equal, a high voltage atty with a high input voltage that produces 10 watts of power SHOULD be equivalent to a standard voltage...

    want lots of vapor

    i am surprised no one has mentioned a high voltage mod. 5.5 volts with a heavy VG ratio is like a fog machine. I can fog up my car so bad that I cannot see out of the windows.

    FDA files appeal

    hey, at the very least, the FDA's efforts have caused more people to become educated in e-cigs, and possibly have caused some to make the switch. I can't help to wonder if their efforts are actually HELPING our cause, especially now that the judicial system has shut them down. Twice.

    Tophet alloy C for atomizer coil

    Found a roll of tophet alloy C. 60% nickel, 16% chromium, the rest iron. 7 ohms/foot 1850 farenheit heat resistance, I made a 1/2" long coil the other night, hooked it up to a power supply and threw 1.5 amps through it dry. glowed red hot for over 2 minutes and did not pop. Ordered some...

    wick supply

    just ordered some of This and their heatwire. seems to be what all the germans are using $10 for shipping, but perfecting a DIY atty would be a big accomplishment, and would yield payoffs in the form of fewer atty/carto purchases down the road.

    All Mechanical- a flaw in thinking.

    you'd be surprised at the testing mil-spec electronic components go through. in addition to the standard ambient testing, testing at -48 degrees celsius, +80 degrees celsius, vibration testing where the units get attached to giant shaker tables and are shaken for hours on end, explosion testing...

    Vape Snobs

    i doubt the posters had malicious intent. If that's all you need to keep you from analogs, great! After all, isn't that the whole point? I think what they were trying to say is that a standard battery is akin to a dodge neon, whereas, a mod is more like a viper. It works, but there is better...

    Whats your favorite or regular VG/PG ratio?

    anywhere from 100% VG to 50/50, but never less than 50% VG. Throat hit is second to vapor production for me.

    A variable volt "lab power box" - ready to start mod designing

    My latest touch sensor implementation it's definitely the way to go. The problem with auto batts is their cutoff time, and the accidental triggering. I have not had a single problem with this mod since I made it last week. the AT42QT1010 can be used as either a touch sensor, or proximity...
