Built my 2nd (first respectable) MICRO-GEN

[pdib]

So, I little while back, I built a version of Jasl90's Micro-Gen rba. And, well, it was ugly. Like a dog "making lipstick" when he's excited. I just finished version 1.2, and I'm much happier with the results aesthetically. (I'm just now self-teaching to solder, so, hey.) Anyway, lots of fun to build and excellent flavor and a surprisingly hard hitter with amazing low end (bass notes). The compact chamber and tight coils make a little nuclear reactor in there. I drilled a 1/16" air hole to go with my ACME airflow spigot. The coil on this one is WAY too high in resistance. Don't know what I was thinking. 30g K. w/ Nextel.

And you still put in your mouth and sucked... :0

Looks fantastic!... Especially for being a V1.2... Trust me I have more than a few early versions of my own that will never see the light of day, let alone sit for a photograph.

The coil on this one is WAY too high in resistance. Don't know what I was thinking. 30g K. w/ Nextel.

I was kinda wandering about that... A 6/6 wrap w 30 gauge... Guessing 2+ ohms?
I just did a 4/5 w 28 gauge for my mech... 0.95 ohms... It's nice but I'm thinking a 4/4 will bring it down to about 0.8(ish)... It'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Well done sir... Couldn't have done it better my own damned self!

Thanks, Jasl

Just gotta finish off the 13 drops I put in there, and its a recoil.




(although, I gotta admit, the wick looks a little "when jasl met nextel", if you know what I mean)

 

[jasl90]

Jasl will get the hang of it... This latest attempt looks much better, thank you very much...
(Or at least it did until I decided I needed to remove 1/2 a turn...)

Talkin' bout what? . . . . . . . Oh, I didn't even see those tiny little letters up there.





You know your the shizizlit!

4/5 and 4/4.. what does the 2nd number mean? caare to share?
looks crazy pdib. enjoy it. I bet you could make a tank for this somehow, dril holes in the side like a carto/killer tank.

OK, all better, 4/5 of 26g K. Now I'm vaping, good and proper.

Plumes, when you wrap a coil, one side looks like 4 wraps (say) and the other like 5. So It is 4 complete wraps of the circumference, + the two partials at the ends.

If you wrap so that the top and bottom leave the wick at the same point of the circumference, you can call it a straight 4, or a 4/4

If you are super_X_drifter, you can call it an 18/19

Full circle (in my head). Micro-Gen (v1.3- squonkable), meet the REO goosebox.










THANKS JASL90 & SUPER_X_DRIFTER!
