ahhh ok whats with the dusty unused Transciever ? ;)

I noticed the PL52 connector and coiled mike wire....
So you talk about the little radio on top of the big one that's a RadioShack 2-meter transceiver. I bought that thing new back in 1999 and it's definitely showing its age.

You gotta figure the tank is plastic.
Okay, I understand what you're saying now.

I don't run my wattage up that high at all. I run it at 10 watts. I have a 30 watt eleaf mod and I run it at 10 watts.

so I don't think I'll be melting any plastic hopefully.

Way this thing is set up and I guess it's just because of the nature of the beast, if I try running more than 10 watts on the mod itself. I start feeling like I'm gonna cough my head off. so I run it just at 10 watts and it does more than enough than what I need.

matter fact I have to puff on it gently it causes me to want to cough. Especially first thing in the morning.

Yes, I am one of those people when he first gets up in the morning the first thing I grab is the vaporizer and second thing grabs my phone. it's a normalcy anymore. [emoji4]

You aren't going to melt the tank :). Don't build below 0.3 though because you could melt the insulator; however, not at 10W.
I didn't think I would. Here is a newbie question for you guys.

does the diameter of the wire make the resistance go up? I would assume so. if you use thicker wire the ohms of resistance goes up, correct?

Again, I would assume that to be the case.. but I want to make sure before I do something stupid and mess my tank up

Okay sorry. Didn't know you were starting out. All my posts are sarcastic BS so don't sweat it.
Wire and resistance is the exact opposite of what you think. It's a big counter intuitive thing.

Dude, there is an Orchid thread with 13 million posts in it. LOLZ

Probably closed now though I'm sure it has plenty of info.

No, the thicker the wire, the less resistance. 24g has less resistance than 26g.
