    Resistance-No Resistance wire welder

    If it melted the wire rather than welded it's too much of a charge, if there is any way you can charge the cap with less electricity you can dial it in the same way we use flash circuits.

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Sounds like the tobacco you are using for extract, real pipe tobacco extracts gunk up within about 12 hours but morebrown cigar tobaccos gunk up less so

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    If vapor production is lower try smaller gauge kanthal/nichrome. I don't use anything lower than 33 awg kanthal for that reason and I get fog machines every time.

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Glad to see you had great results. Out of all the methods of extraction, the 4 second microwave shot glass method makes the best results i have tried. The traditional method before was a 2 week cold steep, which does work well but it takes 2 weeks and doesn't seem quite as flavorful as the shot...

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    I have had the best results with clearomizers for cotton. Something about the air flow design and close juice contact just seems to make clearomizers perfect for cotton. The vivi mini nova is still my favorite, just perfect clean no burn/singe problems. Gennys and other designs do work well with...

    The "Spin E" coil sure is coil E & wind E

    You can if you want to, but what i do is cover the air intake and suck and it primes the wick.

    Just For LM2596 Users

    Nice clear construction. I know what you mean with space, it's really tricky to pack 2 batteries in with the lm without making a monster box and still being able to get to the pot and read the voltmeter. I have an extra LM with volt meter I have been thinking about making a passthrough...

    The "Spin E" coil sure is coil E & wind E

    Also if someone is thinking about trying the spin-e method don't try haveing wick inside and outside. It cools down too much, either go conventional inside or unconventional outside wicking.

    The "Spin E" coil sure is coil E & wind E

    I ust noticed something I have never made known that is crucial for the spin-e to work. Make sure the coil is pointed down, gravity on the juice keeps everything wet (air intake as well).

    Yeah anyone uing hardware parts, make sure you torch them because a lot of them have coatings or enamels that aren't healthy. I would say automotive would be galvanized, just a guess.

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Oh yeah, one of the best I have made was a heaven cigar (dominican republic) with some carmel, brown sugar, and a little vanilla. I have yet to try some bulk leaf which I really want to try.

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    That all depends on what you concider a good cigar. There are some top notch cigars from the dominican republic about 10 times cheaper that have been the best I have had. Sounds like you know what you like, which is a great reccomendation for picking something you definitely love. You are right...

    Inside the Drunker Tank

    Yeah cotton in my drunker is real hit and miss. I've been pondering on modding the air flow because I know that's where my problem is. Cotton is really finicky in what devices work well with it. So far I haven't been able to beat the rounds in my mini vivi novas with nr-wire welded legs. I love...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    Just make sure you use a cigar you really like. Try a cheaper dominican cigar if you can find one, the best cigars to me come from the dominican republic. Light brown cigars are better because they haven'y been fermented as much as darker ones. A long fermentation of dark tobaccos can really...

    Home made Attomizer

    I rebuilt one of my ce2's. Works great, but I still want to build something bigger/better after I figure out a tank.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    If you squeeze out as much water as you can it will dry really quick, even quicker space apart on a plate. I look forward to your reports after building.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    Definitely boil the cotton, the clean taste is worth it even if you're not worried about processing chemicals. Also try rolling the cotton into a uniform wick. Roll it between your fingers until somewhat shaped, then hold your hand flat and roll out the kinks until uniform. I reccommend trying...

    'Folded' Kanthal Ribbon

    Thank you for clarifying, we have all misplaced a decimal at some point.

    There we go, I have some used up ce2's a friend sent me and was thinking about trying something like this. Great job!
