All new: The Precise Simplicity 14500 from Super-T Manufacturing Inc!

[forcedfuel50]

I got Simplicity a few days ago and so happy with build quality and performance but I just have this big worry in my head and cannot solve.

There is a hidden vent holes on bottom of tube and have slits with switch. I get it but since vent holes are under o-ring, battery will prevent air path from top upper area. I believe IMR battery has proof valve on top so gas will try to escape from positive side in case goes wrong. Since top cap has no air path so positive area will be almost complete sealed chamber to be explode.

Venting will work if I tried to blow from the top of the tube without battery but it won't if I have battery in. If I insert my battery positive down then I can blow air from the bottom because battery nipple will raise battery it self to keep the air way. however there is a space between top cap and battery so I can feel battery rattle inside.

Am I crazy? Can anyone confirm there is no air venting above o-ring?

Also, hidden gas vent will not work if you lock the brass ring...

The Oring is made of low melt point Buna, operating range up to 250F. batteries vent in excess of +1000F and at 5,000+PSI in an enclosed tube, it'll instantly blow through the oring like it doesn't even exist. Your breath or a ballon is about 10psi and 80F , so it can't be tested that way. If you wanted you could cut a small section out of the oring. Also, there is adequate battery to wall clearance for escaping gases from the top to travel to the bottom.

Just placed my order, haven't had a mech mod since my PureSmoker Icon.

Has anyone tried the A7 with Kanger T3 tube mod? Basically a budget GP Spheroid.

Build your own Toddoid!! Part One - YouTube

I may try this or just bit the bullet and get the Euphoria.

Nice! Look at David tossing out numbers!! So, basically you CAN use the balloon, but you'd have to actually make your battery vent in order to test it.

I guess I don't have to be crazy any more.

Thanks for the clear answer!

Let's hope that none of us ever has to find out the efficacy of any safety mechanism.

 

[Birks]

ok, I cut a o-ring.

 

[Nach]

Well done, sir.

ok, I cut a o-ring.

 

[snork]

Now, watch that the o-ring remains in position please.

I believe that opening up the air flow is a very good idea. The less restriction a failed battery has to venting its gases, the less it will behave like a pipe bomb.

Also, the hissing sound of escaping vent gases can serve as an early warning that a battery has failed. I’d want to know as quickly as possible if that were to happen, and not have to wait until the bottom of the device reaches 200 degrees. I also wouldn’t want to be holding anything anywhere near that hot with my bare hands.

Good job in testing the air flow Birks! You very well may have saved some people from serious harm by doing that.

Please vape safely everyone!

Got mine today. Really nice. I must say, I didn't really think I'd like the finish all that much, and ordered it for the size, and the known quality, but actually I think it looks pretty nice. Gave it a brief try with a 1.7Ω Resurrector Jr. that I took off another mod. After three hits, the carto is so hot I can hardly touch it, but it's the same on the other mod. I couldn't tell before because the other mod had a drip shield on it. I won't use those anymore. So anyway, waiting for a new carto to soak up.

Ok, tried 2 new cartos before I got a good one, tired of this bs with the cartos, but anyway, yeah, this works great, really liking it. I think I need to dis assemble the switch and clean it up, I also, would like a spring that's a tad stiffer. All in all, very pleased. Thanks for producing the 14500 pv I've been looking for SuperT.

George, that's one of Dave's Joyetechs. He sells them in his website.


Nic


PS - probably a low resistance

 

[George Saad]

You are Right Nic! it is an LR Joytech, with a T-Tip shorty, I am placing my order right now
It is the device that I have been looking for.
Thanks to you and to oplholic for the help

I took the switch apart on mine, and no burrs to be cleaned up, but on the contact part of the switch(slot for screwdriver end) on the very edge of the flat, there is a ding that ever so slightly pushes up bit of metal above the flat area. Tried to get a pic of it, but couldn't. I can see it, and can barely feel it with my finger nail. It may hold the batt from sitting perfectly flat on the contact, although it is firing ok, but just wondering about that. I don't want to screw the plating up by tying to sand it flush, or trying to increase the slight radius around the edge to eliminate it. If it's not likely to be a problem, I won't worry about it.

I'm finding that the Joyetech's are pretty well made, and consistent.
I just ordered a IGO-S to try out.

No problem at all, neighbor

anyone have the AGT atty paired with their simplicity? I think they're 17.5mm so it'll be a bit thicker. Just wanting to see how it looks

it's def wider. i just took this pic (AGT is paired with P+16 which has a diameter of 18mm. AGA-S is on the Simplicity and it's a PERFECT fit!).

btw i have them running on micro coils. it's really good imo.

edit::

here's a pic of the AGT on the Simplicity (there is a slight gap on mine since the post on the Simplicity is the original height... i guess it doesn't look that much wider, but i def recommend AGA-S if you want that 'solid' look. unfortunately, due to the weight of the AGA-S, Simplicity WILL fire standing up if it's not locked):

I never liked when Joye added the gold band to their attys....But it looks great with the Smplictys Brass band..
