Now it's working. Sorry to startle ya. I am there on the 17th!

I couldn't get the facebook page to load now. :O

In a M. Night Shyamalan type twist. My wife lugs in a big envelope from Wicked today. I couldn't believe it. Inside were thoughtful and amazing peace offerings from Jason. I was stunned. I am still stunned. It was like Christmas. Actually it was better than Christmas because you can ask any...

I started fresh off the charger with the pack at 5.36v when I press the button and do a regular draw 5 times with a 3.5 ohm atty it drops to 5.05v and then returns to 5.36v. My pack is a Sanyo 4.8v at 1400mah and it is NiCad. I swear it has to be over 10 years old but not charged and discharged...

Had to take care of some music biz, I am back. I will do a check on my loaded voltage on it tomorrow. I am building 2 more of the 4.8v this weekend. My wife has to have one and I am going to put them in a local shop here in AZ also. I am trying to find the hammond box I used for mine again, but...

A week later and still the charges remain. I got the mega charger ( a $25.00 value) as compensation from them, but they never called or wrote to see if my card was ok. The charger arrived in a flimsy envelope and the box had been crushed to death. I can't believe someone would package something...

All of the nitro planes use 4.5 nicads. But they start out at just over six volts when charged. So my little box is just now at 4.8 and the overheated taste is gone and the vapor is smooth. Using a voltage regulator you can get 4.5 but you would have to start with a volt or two above the 4.5...

I just saw a side by side. It made me twitch a little with excitement. I would love to make something that looked dangerous like that. I have a whole pile of old afterburner parts and other doo-dads I picked up when I worked in machine shops. But some are titanium alloys and inconel that would...

I am planning on looking into the tank mods. I did some research last night into that. That is a big mother beast! Dig it! My new box is rocking my socks off. I have been using it now for 5 hours and it just now dropped to 5.3v. I started modding when Totally Wicked's site messed up and...

I had to make a smaller version of the project box unit last night. Using an all metal project box I got when I worked for Westinghouse building odd military gadgets. Salvaged a 1500mah Nicad pack at 4.8v from a crashed model airplane. The battery pack was used to run the servos. Epoxied in...

LOL! I am keeping it on my amp next show. I used to keep my 510 on my amp and between songs if there is a chance I would give it a puff with my back to the people. And I puff like a madman on the 510 at venues. I have never been kicked out but I have been asked to stop smoking until they were...

The brick ROCKS!!! WOWWEE! I plan on using the box at gigs but anywhere but in the car and in dark bars and home seems a little iffy. I have been rethinking the red button. But then again I sure do love blinky lights and switches and I as I get older people raising their eyebrows at me just...

Thank you! I am ordering some hv attys tomorrow so as not to pop another one. If you let it dry out it will pop in a hurry. Plus I am pulsing the switch rather than just laying into it. My next mod will most likely be the lith ion type. I have a charger that can handle anything and would like...

They can go nutty on you. The smoke is very toxic and the fire is crazy to put out. Even the small one cells can lead to big time fires and lung damage. But I almost made this one run off of one out of desperation. You would have to make the battery real easy to get to so you could pull it out...

I am getting 6volts. This is a Sealed Lead Acid battery. Same thing that is used in alarm systems and automatic feeders and such. I know of them from using them on my starter on my model planes. I have shorted out a 12volt model and burned my flight box to the ground and the battery never popped...

I recently went through some vendor trouble and got stuck without a charger and no way to order a new one. It is a long story. I wasn't about to go back to analogs so I dug around and made a simple box and used 4 x 1.2 nicads to power it. This was great and the 510 atty put out a ton of vapor...

Still waiting on those errors to leave my card. It is Wednesday, maybe by Thursday. My charger from TW made it but my card still reflects the 2 charges in error. Can't get to my money. what a horror show. More later I guess.

While I am writing this I am on HOLD with TW using my phone. TW if you are reading this, please change your hold music because it sounds like circa 1981 porn music. I know getting license free music is hard. But really? ewwww. Well I talked to Alex ( a woman) and I was told that it could take...

Awoke to this. Money still tied up, nothing has changed at all in that dept. One email from TW.... Thank you for contacting us. I do not show a current order for you. The order # shows deleted. Has the payment shown on your bank as of yet? I will await your response. Now maybe someone will...

Still have 2 pending charges holding up my card from Wicked for 93.19 each. I am checking each hour to see when they come off. I read on another post where this happened with Wicked and it took almost 2 weeks to get it off there. I am going to contact the BBB and some other places before I get...
