    Wire/coil gauge efficiency testing

    Test methodology: I built each coil with the same ID 4mm and width 8.4mm. Measured out 5ml of 70vg and vaped through it using timed 4 second puffs at 66W. Puffs were taken in sets of three. Each puff was marked down so I could count how many puffs it took to vape the 5ml. Then I divided 5ml by...

    Bodens how to set up TC

    Bodens foolproof TC setup method. Using this technique it does not matter what TC wire (above TCR 00130) you are using or mode you are in. Want to use any SS in Ti mode.. No problem. Edit: lock resistance first :) 1. Set "temp" to the highest setting. (600F or 300C) 2. Start low and work...

    Attention manufacturers!! AFC rings are the wrong way to reduce airflow.

    In order to keep the air flowing over the coil at high enough speeds you need to have a variable aperture air port pointing at the coil. Reducing the airflow at the AFC ring only slows the velocity of air over the coil. Reducing the diameter of the air port pointing at the coil allows the draw...

    So you think you can design a coil?

    This is a challenge. You think you understand how a coil works. What surface area means. How wattage works..o_O Then design me a coil that works better than this one on a regulated Mod. That is a Kanthal A1 triple parallel 32 awg coil, 7mm wide with a ID of 2.5mm in a Velocity RDA, the dual...

    Coil nomenclature

    Having seen a lot of variance in what coils are called I thought a bit of standardization would be useful. How about this? (All diameters are ID(inside diameter)) Spaced coil; a coil with gaps between the wraps. Contact coil; a coil with the wraps touching. Macro coil; a coil with a diameter...

    Stainless Steel mesh, Oxide discussion.

    I want to know what Chromium Oxides are forming on the different grades of SS and at what temperatures. I do know that when heated above 710degF the chromium starts to oxidize preferentially. When doing hot work on SS it is common OSHA standard that when welding, cutting and heating SS...

    Vision Vivi Nova with no air flow?

    I think I have an answer. Does your coil head positive post look like the one on the left. If so you're fine. If it looks like the one on the right... Well, It won't work. :D Oops!!! somebody forgot to machine something. ;) I have 12 coil heads, only one had this bad positive post.

Anyone who wants to add useful links please add them as well. These are from batteryuniversity.com which contains...

    Provari Tenergy charger whine at 9.57kHz

    Does anyone else have a pronounced whine coming from their charger. I'm a sound engineer and this is bugging me to no end. (I think it shouldn't whine like this but on the Provari site it said to come here and post my problem... ) It's at 9.57kHz and 16.73kHz ~20db above background, which is...
