GGTS fuse

[imeothanasis]

I have said before that if you experience problems with fuse (low smoke, small thoat hit) you can put 2 springs instead of one. That way the fuse will get burned later but you are still protected against short cirquits

How would you put 2 springs on the fuse? I'm confused.

 

[HoPeFuLLL]

just push them together, will kind of join and look like one spring.

 

[imeothanasis]

as hope said Zai

You guys can do that or just add noloax to the bottom of the spring where it makes contact with the very bottom of the fuse...

 

[imeothanasis]

rip is right, I forgot that. Noalox does an exellent job there

I just doubled it and #565 improved 100% -- when did you say this before?!?!?!?!??!?! --

 

[Firefly13]

Doubled it up on mine too, works great !! Just 1 spring adds way too much resistance for me, thanks !!!

 

[imeothanasis]

You dont really know how much happy I am when I help you guys

crazy idea: spring made as to simulate 5V vaping with 2x3V (=6V) batteries? I mean with resistance calculations and all

 

[imeothanasis]

crazy=great idea Pol! I have to think serious about this. Thanks buddy

I have been wondering about that, if some kind of resistor could be used in a different collection tank base -- it would be a major overhaul (the pin would be different but it could just be an adjustable screw on top of the redesigned cap) BUT if you did it right it could just be a replacement part for existing GGTS. It would need to be maybe about 25mm in length and it could even have a dial for VV -- I think it could be done but electronics aren't my thing.

Jeez, I thought I'd get some kind of response!!!

Happy New Year....That's your response

Happy New Year....That's your response

Thank you so freakin' much, my compadre!!!!!

Its already the first for you, right? Happy New Year!!!!

Just thought I'd drop by and let you know that I tried Imeo's suggestion and wrapped two springs together. I had some initial concerns as to whether it would actually provide the proper protection, but it worked just great. Pictured is the end result of my results of what a bad battery did to my double spring.
