Howdy, All! This will be the new thread for product updates and discussion on SteamMonkey "stuff". So, let's catch up with a little break down. I'll start with the Chinese side of my house. Starter kits: The Chimp and Silverback kits are rolling quite well, I get nothing but rave reviews...

Howdy Steam Troopers, As anyone who's followed me knows, I'm developing in the Z2 system. I've got a billion ideas rolling around in my head and I want to get some feedback from you guys. The Z2 system, as of right now has a genesis style atomizer, a carto tank, a 510 head, a bottom fire...

Howdy Troopers, Been quiet over here but it doesn't mean I've been sleeping. I've been working HARD to get some good quality, American made product out the door. I'm proud to announce that the first round of my development is finally in motion and will be coming SOON. The Link System. The...

So, I've been debating what to do for my next contest... I see a lot of random number drawings which I think are boring, I've seen a bunch of other types of contests... I just couldn't pick one. So... I'm doing a three in one! There are three contests in this thread, sorta... you can enter for...

So, I'm testing some porous ceramic wicking material, 8micron hole size ~45% open space. First tests involved comparisons between a 6mm diameter rolled wick of 500x500 SS mesh, twill weave, .025mm wire diameter side by side with the aforementioned ceramic, same length, but 6mm x 6mm squared...

So, I'm mid development on a few products for the store for next year and I want to get some feedback. There are two categories below, "Toppers" and "Devices". Toppers being your atomizer/cartomizer/coil thingy.. the part that vaporizes your juice. The "Devices" category is regarding your...

Alrighty my little primates. As some of you know, I'm a one man shop here at Steam Monkey, everything is done by me. I'm going out of town on the 21st which means I'm going to have to temporarily close the store. I've used the majority of the stores income replenishing stock and getting new...

Hello my fellow primates, This thread will be specifically for discussion on current products, stock updates, future products, and the like. I will post my shipment updates here, what products I will be carrying and take requests for other items you would like to see in stock. This is also...

The time is finally here. Steam Monkey is going live. I have finally received my Zmax V3 kits. The store will be offline until 6pm CST this evening at which point it will go live and begin accepting orders. If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them here or visit me on...

Alrighty my fellow primates, it's contest time. I'm ramping up for my grand opening and I need your help. First the prizes... Zmax kit 18650 charger v3 OLED screen Zmax V3 kit. This is the new OLED screen, Stainless Steel, 8 menu option Zmax with 2 18650s, a charger, and some random CE5...

Greetings All, I'll start with the TLDR version: I'm a new vendor, I only stock items I'd recommend to friends and family or use myself and I'm a huge supporter of the entire concept of vaping and believe it is the future of nicotine consumption. Steam Monkey LLC is a new store, another drop...

I'm having a stupid moment, I looked into this before and found a 'thing' to do it but now I can't remember or find this thing. I need to sharpen a point onto the end of multiple screws. I know I could rig em into my lathe if I need to but I remember finding a thing that would let me do it fast...

Assuming a .032" thick copper strip, how wide would it need to be to be roughly equal to a 20awg wire? I know 2awg wire is just shy of a milimeter in diameter without the insulator so I'd assume, using a solid piece of ultra-conductive copper sheet I could go pretty narrow, like 1.5m? Anyone...

So, I've been working up an APV with some specific features, namely a built in RBA. I've been building around the DNA12 and am REAL close to a working prototype, as in, the last outsourced part is showing up today or tomorrow and I'll begin assembling it as soon as that happens. BUT... I just...

I hear people talk about hotspots and shorts all the time. I'm getting a very specific hotspot/short. It's ALWAYS the top of my coil and more specifically the little bit of wire between the positive post and the wick. That section lights up immediately everytime, regardless of how many wraps...

.... I've been trying to decipher what people mean by 3/4 or 4/5 coils... is it 4 or 5, 3 or 4? 3 quarters? pick a number! No seriously... what are you folks calling a 3/4 or 4/5 coil?

I finally got a coil working, mostly even heating... not perfect but way better than anything I'd used so far. I got excited, I filled it with juice, slapped a drip or two on the coil/mesh itself and gave it a few test puffs. Tasted like burnt pennies. Figured "oh, it's just breaking in"...

I want to discuss SS mesh wicks and what exactly is happening when we heat and quench them or go through the various dances to make them work. I've read about passivation which I believe is 'not' what's happening. I don't think we're creating a thicker layer of chromium oxide on the mesh, I...

I'm getting close to building my prototype for my RBA and one of the lingering questions is wall thickness for the pyrex tank. I'm going with 3/4inch ID. I was thinking I needed a thick wall so I decided to go 1inch OD but that size tube is virtually impossible to find. I've found some 19mm...

:) as my of my posts have stated, I'm working on some projects. The latest little issue is determining what size o-rings to use for my RBA tanks. I"m getting pyrex tubing with a 3/4id and 1"OD. I'm going to be using o-rings to secure it. I'm thinking 1/16th width rings but I'm not real sure...
