FYI to those of us with leaky Drunkers;
The silicone o-rings used in the drunker are inferior to the black rubber ones used in DCT's, the good news is that they are the same size and the DCT o-rings are far superior. No more leaking from my Drunkers.
Thats a really good idea. I was thinking of dremmeling those grooves myself back when I was using a wider wrap with more wick. I really dont see how it could do anything but improve the Drunker.... Unless you break the ceramic.
Thanks.... My plan is to wrap a large coil (same diameter Im using now, and very tight) probably 10/11 and have it "floating" just above the ceramic cup, making the legs that much longer. Im pretty sure through trial and error I should be able to figure it out and have the perfect ohm.
Thanks...
Ive been using 32awg (10.9ohm per foot) nichrome with 4/5 wraps and achieving 2.2ohms on the Drunker. The same wire with 7/8 wraps gets me 3ohms
I just now ordered some Kanthal "A" 30awg (8.5ohm per foot) in hopes of getting more wraps (surface area) for relatively the same endpoint ohms...
OK, so after some more trial and error I have come up with this;
-4/5 wrap 32awg Nichrome (2.2 ohms)
-4 strands of "Mercerized" 100% cotton yarn
-2 3.7v 16340 LiMn batteries 8v's
-Homemade battery box, very small and completely "Palmable"
After researching mercerized cotton it is chemically...
Just thought its time for me to chime in here..... I was reading this thread for a couple of weeks and ended up ordering 2 Drunker's. After 4 days of use here is what I have to report;
34 gauge nichrome wire, 2.8ohms (5/6 wrap 3/32 drill bit) with a cotton makeup pad wick at 15 watts (maxed...
