GG Talk!

[Ezkill]

Ezkill - It's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.

Also you are correct with normal use it should last a long time.

I agree. I did manage to score a few Penny ceramics last time around. They're all kind of gone now...I gave them away to people that needed them here.

Figure if I'm ever hard up someone will return the favor

It was better at the time people had running devices then for me to have extras sitting in a drawer. Did miss the boat today but I'm ok with my one extra.

Bad and good news!!
Bad news is no GGTS pre-order tonight per Imeo.
Good news is maybe it will be Sunday night at 8pm EST.
More updates coming!

Sunday, WOW!!
I thought the 29th was the Pre-Order!
Looks like I am going to sell something, don't know what, but have to find something!!!

3500 thousands ceramics came to my house today sedge. I will send them together with GGTS batch to my sellers so no worries

Poof. They're gone. Penny ceramics.

 

[imeothanasis]

4 days delay from the laser guys. All the other parts are ready. We have to wait a little more

Great, the awesome GGTS will soon be available. I must have one with the new engravings, look forward to it.

If I can sell the Provari I hope ot be in the GG family more than just the repairables cannot wait

 

[Mosin_Sergei]

ProVari очень удобно для измерения напряжения, оставшийся заряд батареи, проверьте сопротивление катушки ....

Imeo. Thank you for the updates. I was just trying for a ceramic to have as a backup, but I don't think I will ever need one. Look forward to the GGTS sale.

Super, Since getting the GGTS's only thing I use Provari for is checking ohms on my rebuildables. Only reason I use it for that is because I ain't smart enough to figure out how to use my multimeter lol.

[Mosin_Sergei]

Use a multimeter simply smitty.
Its just not very convenient to carry around.
A ProVari =multimeter to take and how to meter and as a spare PV

 

[JthaBigVapor]

yeah serves multi purposes I think if anything its smart to carry your provari around as Mosin said

I got a muli meter too and can't figure it out either. can someone give instructions on how to use it to test resistance of wires. Mine keeps jumping around and don't stay on a number.

Unless you have very steady hands and you pin the wire on a non conductive surface you are going to ge that a lot when using the probes.

I found I didn't want to deal with it so I purchased some very small alligator clips for my multimeter for about 3 dollars if I remember correctly. Then you just clip the wire and let go and it settles on the resistance within a few seconds.

You can also ditch the multimeter as wire resistance per foot data is widely available on the internet. I used my wire resistance data and determined I need 1.75 inches of the resistance wire I'm using to get my desired coil resistance and then just used that measurement. All coils have been perfect within +/- .1ohm. Which is within the variance range of most multimeters anyway.

 

[Mosin_Sergei]

Find the icon on your multimeter resistance Ω, set the switch in the area of ​​the icon on the number 200, press the negative probe to the connector body and the probe to the center of the connector. On the digital display you will see the value of the resistance of your injectors.

To determine the error of the meter probes together close the ty - multimeter. The value of which will have to be subtracted from the measured value of your ohm injectors.

[Mosin_Sergei]

If you want to check the resistance of Kanthal, a probe that you are pressed at the beginning of the conductor and the second probe are driving on the Cantal to the desired resistance value. (Do not forget to subtract the error of the instrument).

 

[Xaiver]

Okay, new question: So, when measuring out the R-wire, does the resistance of the parts that are wrapped to the NR wire count?

If there's .5 ohms worth R wire wrapped up in the NR wire, does that figure into the whole resistance? Is that what's causing my wires to be a little higher when they're mounted, or is that some sort of internal resistance of Penelope?

If you have good contact then no. Electricity will always take the path of least resistance...meaning it will use the no resistance wire when it can.

I've had a situation were my loop back was rather large and not very good so it was higher resistance because that part of the resistance wire in the loop was still being used.

Also through use, depending on your wire the coil will pick up some resistance. Generally .2-.3ohms from breaking in and getting gunked up a bit. I construct all coils at 2.8 ohms as my target is 3ohms. After a few hours they are all generally bang on 3ohms.

 

[Mosin_Sergei]

The difference in resistance is possible: because of the loose strand of wire, the resistance can "walk", it can be different for ProVari be 1.7 ohms, and the multimeter can be 1.75 ohms. But as written above, the meter has an error. It may be 0.1 - 0.5 ohms. Depends on the accuracy of the meter class.

 

[Mosin_Sergei]

This difference will be in setting the coil without burning.
When you put the ignition coil with no resistance to it has one. Once you calcined its resistance will be at the 0.1-0.2 ohm more. Since the coil itself is covered with a film after calcination which provides additional resistance of the coil.

[sgehrking]

ok I got aligator clips and got a reading of 4.5 on a kanthal a-1, 36 gauge wire that was 1.25 inches long. does this sound about right. the variance is about .1. If i would use this wire in a coil for ody what would the resistance be? would it change once made into a coil
