    Click the jpg above. Values are calculated using 4.0V battery voltage and Steam Engine default Kanthal wire gauge diameters.

    Been there... but I forget to adjust single or dual builds. The HF is a dead giveaway. :rolleyes:

    At a quick glance, Mactavish... it's because you loaded Ti wire instead of Kanthal A-1. Cheers

    Hey Moochy... I just noticed that you added a "my CDR" line for direct, MFG CDR comparison. An excellent idea for "at-a-glance" reference.

    Hi Windowelf, I got ya' beat by 6 years on them Camel straights... $10 a pack was getting a bit ridiculous. ;) Thanks for the kind words. Even if it doesn't resonate fully right now. perhaps later, when you're doing a build, you'll wonder what this or that actually means, and come back to the...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in 'Coming Soon!!! User friendly advancements/upgrades to the Steam Engine coil modelling calculator!'

    Lars ran the beta test program by me today, and he tweaked a few values to more accurately define HF and HC... and now he needs to fine tune the variables of voltage drop, so the numbers achieved are reasonably accurate, regardless of battery used. This is where you come in Mooch... I told him...

    Coming Soon!!! User friendly advancements/upgrades to the Steam Engine coil modelling calculator!

    That's right folks, Lars is just now putting on the finishing touches to some new features in the coil program. The most useful will be a "Suggested Wattage" cell that will offer a wattage recommendation based on wire gauge and coils in parallel. What this means is that, for people who don't...

    Low resistance is a byproduct, not the goal, or... more things to hurt your head.

    Low resistance is a byproduct of a (mostly) unrecognized benefit... not the goal. "It's that damn SoF again... talkin' 'bout that damn heat flux. Get him! - burn him at the stake!". Don't light the match just yet... More surface area means more juice is vaporized for a given duration of...

    Absolutely identical resistance in multi-coil atomizers

    After I responded to an interesting thread found here... I started thinking about the (highly unlikely) chances of truly identical multi-coil builds - considering how atomizers are made and the individual components that go to make up the whole - where heating lag time from coil to coil is...

    Optimizing heat flux for mech mods - chart example

    This article has been pulled... as it's being rewritten. Also, so the excel files won't disappear every other week.

    The practical applications of heat flux, wire gauge, parallel wire count & net resistance

    The practical applications of heat flux, wire gauge, parallel wire count & net resistance as they relate to... the simplicity of a mech mod vs. the independent wattage control of regulated mod. In simpler terms... the Ohm's law limitations of mechs vs. the ability to "force" wattage with an...

    Sub-Ohm... what's the point?

    A few days ago, this post popped up... with my answer to follow. Although you provide no detail regarding your net resistance and wire gauge used... everything you need to be successful at higher wattages can be found in Ohm's law formulas, the Steam Engine coil modeling program... and an...

    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...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in 'Steam Engine: Basic & advanced features: Pt. Two'

    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...

    Testing tube mech mods/RBAs for conductivity

    First... you need a digital multi-meter (DMM). How much you choose to spend is entirely at your budgetary discretion. A word of caution before we begin. Make sure that your meter is set correctly before any test. If you forget to switch from resistance to voltage and apply live voltage, you...

    11-18-2014? Where the hell have I been that I didn't see this comment? Sorry, David. :blush: Yeah, o-ring fabrication. If you've not already found them with a bit of "Advanced Googlology"... "The O-ring Store" sells o-ring fabrication "kits". Lengths of X thickness o-ring stock, o-ring...

    Hi ya' Dampmaskin... I fixed the cross article links. Having close to the same title screw'd my head a bit. ;-) You're welcome to link these to anything you wish. I'm honored the creator of Steam Engine approves of my guides.
