    Vandy Vape PYRO 24 RDTA

    Did you order from them for the Pyro? They are one of the places offering the glass in different sizes which makes no sense.

    Vandy Vape PYRO 24 RDTA

    Unfortunately I don't see anything out there. Thanks though! The only places I've seen online that claim to carry the glass are offering it in 2ml and 4ml sizes, which makes me shy off from ordering since this RDTA doesn't have two sizes of glass.

    Anyone know where to get replacement glass for this thing?

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    I found some more time on my hands. The spreadsheet is gone. Instead, I present the TCR Tweak Tool Hope someone finds it useful. Feedback is welcome.

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    I'm only as picky as my spare time allows, and I pretty much just ran out. So, I agree that a million little things will influence the accuracy of TC from mod to mod and tank to tank. However, what started me down this time suck path was a rather unusually high resistance from a single...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    From what I'm working through, it seems that in most instances, yes... the impact is not that large. However, the lower your coil resistance and the larger the built-in resistance of the deck, the larger variance you get between your desired temp and what the coil is actually hitting. For...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    Ah Ha! I see where you are going wrong. The TCR and the base-line Ohm reading change the line slope. You don't have to take my word for it. I copied the following values straight off of steam-engine for 430 SS. You will notice that the table does not tell you what starting ohm you have...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    I completely agree that the deck resistance doesn't change. Where we are missing each other is understanding how the mod works. That black line is not some mythical thing I imagined. That represents the values the mod is calculating as the target values it needs to hit at given temperatures. The...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    BAZINGA! Putting all of this down in tables and graphs led me to the answer. The Coil Ohm column is what the coil needs to hit in resistance for the given temp. The Mod Calc Ohm column is what the mod thinks the resistance needs to be based on the starting system (system means 0.18 coil +...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    Let me add something to that first chart. When I created it originally, I used the coil ohms of 0.18 as the starting point. Each point on that graph is the calculated resistance needed to hit the required temp as represented by the grey line. The green line is just each one of those points...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    I have to disagree with you on this. At least, I think I have to. First, can we agree that the values in my table are correct? If so, then tell me where my logic breaks down in these steps. Mod reads starting ohm of 0.245 (0.18 from coil, 0.065 from deck) I set my mod to a temp of 392F Mod...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    I suppose this would all make more sense if we can visualize what I think is going on. In the table below, I took the temp and resistance factor values for 480 SS off steam engine. I then used my coil Ohm as a starting point to calculate the actual Ohms that the mod would see at the given temps...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    Can I ask how you arrived at 23% to take off 138? Correct, BUT... the percent change is different. 50 to 100 is a 100% increase for 50 units of value, whereas 75 to 125 is a 66% change for the same 50 units of value. I guess it all depends on a mod determines change... is it based on amount of...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    The tops of the decks, connections, and posts are free from any anodizing so it is something else causing the resistance. And yes, I completely agree that this "problem" deck should not be used for TC. I'm more curious to find a reasonable method to handle a situation like this... where there is...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    Bah, who wants to do things the right way? Where is the fun in that? Honestly though, I do agree the deck should probably not be used for TC. That said, I'm curious to find a reasonable method to work around this type of issue in less extreme instances. It doesn't register an atty when the...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    The mod is a Smok G-Priv, so I've got decent adjustment capabilities. Good question about the tank... it's two different tanks (Smok TF-V4 and a Vandy Kylin) but I'm using the same pre-wrapped 430 SS coils in both builds. There is minor difference in leg-length when all is said and done, but...

    Adjustment to compensate for deck resistance

    Does anyone know how to compensate for deck resistance? I've got two different RTA decks that consistently show different ohms readings with the same coil builds. One deck always hovers around .180 and the other around .246. is there any way to correct for the deck resistance? My hunch is that...

    Ended Win from Smoant! 15 Charon TS 218s up for grabs....

    I can definitely see myself using this mod. I'm counting on ECF to make that happen.

    Sense Herakles Plus thread

    Hello fellow travelers, anyone experiencing leaking at the bottom of the glass where it sits in the bottom of the tank? I'm getting a slow, persistent dump of my juice from here. Seems like the o-ring is not making a proper seal. Visual inspection doesn't reveal any issues with the o-ring...
