Heh, that was fun... heh, I am easily amused.

Good morning, everyone.

Shawn, to answer yesterday's question: no, I don't have a temperature control device. I just fail to see the need for choosing a temperature setting over volts/watts. Unless one knows the vaporizing temperature of a specific juice, the number is essentially arbitrary--much like volts/watts--in how it matches an individual's taste. When you say that you vaped it at 420 degrees, most of us have no point of reference. Is that better or worse than vaping at 400 degrees, or 450 degrees? How is that better than vaping it at, say 100 watts? I'm not trying to be contrary... I just don't understand.

The burn point of the wick, not the vaporization point of the liquid is what you're watching. At 420 degrees - even with no liquid - there's no burning of the wick... no dry hits. With a 100 watt mod, if the liquid runs out - even with the mod set to 7 watts - the wick can burn giving you a nasty dry hit.

Ah! Now that makes much more sense! Thank you. :)

I had a long drawn out technical post last nite about temperature control and how it worked but when I read it before posting I didn't think it sounded good so I deleted it. What Shawn just said was the easy way of putting it and made much more sense. He did it in a couple sentences, mine was several paragraphs.


:tumble:

1. Good morning treefam. I am dragging this morning. I didn't go to bed until around 3am. At least I got the coffee made without incident this morning, I need it.

I've got a few places to go and things to take care of today. I have to get motivated first.
