Eleaf iStick : part 2

[Stosh]

I believe it does drop power to regulate the temperature like other units. The wattage on the eleaf in TC mode is not adjustable from what I understand, you couldn't set it to 20W or 30W like other APV's.

I am not familiar with the Evic, the eleaf would be the same as Bikenstein setting his SX M to 40W in TC mode and vaping with only a temperature adjustment available.

It has to be able to drop the wattage or else it couldn't regulate temperature. 40 watts is the middle of the range of wattage adjustment on an evic TC, it seems to work well. I've tried higher and lower wattage adjustments on the evic TC and there is very little difference in how it vapes. Eleaf left off any adjustment to make it simpler and cheaper, performance should suffer little unless you want to vape at very high temperatures.

When it hits temperature protection the watts will drop. I'm vaping my evic TC at 400 F and if I hit it until it goes into TP the watts drop to about 8 or 9 watts, interestingly enough about where I vape my VW mods.

In a VW mod it adjusts the voltage to maintain the set wattage for the resistance of your coil. In a TC mod it adjusts the wattage applied to maintain the temperature you set, it already knows the resistance.

That's fascinating to know! Thanks for sharing. (a tootle puffer, learning some new things here - grin)

My apologies, to completely ignore your reply to our discussion!! I must say we've had a 'couple distractions' lately in our lives, thus my inattention to what I enjoy over here on ECF! (biggest one being - my 95 yr old mom is failing fast, we're trying to abide by her wishes to allow her to stay in her home until the end, so we hired a 24/7 helper this week to help as her mind began going elsewhere last week (can't send her normal daily emails saying she's still here), and this week we're seeing her grow more feeble in body, thus adding a walker to help her get around, and when she's not, at least she's taking her shoes off now when she climbs into bed for a nap! (haha) - all in 3 weeks time! a quick decline) but, back to our discussion...

I have put in an order for some silicon sleeves for my isticks, so think I'm covered presently, but I appreciate your offer to share with me!
I just haven't had time to do any shopping online for woodgrain wraps - and - don't want to drop these newest goodies in the meantime either! I know things will slow down in the future for us, but for the time being, we'll do what we can with what we have...Thank you kindly!! I may be back to talk more along this line with you - k? Thanks for your kind offer - it's just us and what's going on presently that is throwing us off our game.

I understand completely. It's tough to deal with elderly parents in their final years. My mother had Alzheimer's disease in her final years. It was hard on the whole family.

I have a lot of this wood grain stuff so if anyone wants some pieces, feel free to PM me.

WARNING

I guess I'm an old man when it comes to skydiving. As a student (1987) I jumped static line T-10. After 15 static lines, I moved to a seven-cell ram-air. AFF had just started and we waited until there were "official guidelines" written before implementing. By the time I started as an in-air instructor, we were doing nothing but AFF for new jumpers and had ditched the T-10s. I had my first rig at that time but still scored one of the T-10 rigs for posterity. All first time jumpers (many are one-offs fulfilling a bucket list item) had to jump tandem. If a student really wanted to learn how to skydive, she/he went AFF. 70% of the time, I was strapped to someone's back. My favorite part was running RW (relative work) or CRW (canopy relative work, aka, CReW) with fellow instructors...


For those of you not familiar with skydiving: 1st photo is tandem, 2nd is AFF, 3rd is RW, 4th & 5th are CRW. Can you tell I miss it?

Awesome pictures!! Thanks for sharing with us Alden - the closest I've gotten to any of this is riding once in a motorless airplane that was pulled up into the air and unhooked so we could glide back down at our leisure and land when we wanted (very silently, cept for the rush of wind going past us) - lol been so many years ago I can't even remember what they called those lightweight flying objects - grin.

I'm so sorry everyone for turning this into a skydiving thread!! Lol

No problem, @LynnNC I've truly enjoyed reading of the love of a sport you two folks have enjoyed - and - learned a bunch of things in the process! There's nothing like being around someone who has a true heart and soul love for a particular sport or hobby! Tis a love of mine to be around crafty folks to share freely with back and forth.

It seems now-a-days that it's all about social media or the little phone/computer device that's popular - and like no one anymore has ever dreamed of doing some of the things that have been possible for folks to do, just cuz they want to. (and can afford to) I think the youngest generation is lacking in so much that we older folks have tried/done... I pity them in a way. I guess no one opened their eyes to the possibilities in life - ??

New istick anyone?

Where'd the pink one go? Do we HAVE to deal with intagregation in here now? (so many of such a color must be added, etc.)... lol

I think they took out the pink and added a gray. Now, there's silver, black, gray and blue...guess not enough of the pinks were sold in the others.
