I gotta stay away from...

Depending on how the IGO-L works out next month I will be picking up an original IGO-L or another Octopus I think. I didn't realize the phoenix was so much smaller.

The only good thing is if you are testing flavours, the smaller drip capacity means that you can cycle the tests through faster and you will get less carry-over of flavour from one test to the next. I'm going to leave my phoenix with the series dual coil on it for now since it is working really well, and do testing with the tower which has the small capacity flat base. I adjusted to the Phoenix, I shall adjust to the Tower as well.



ECF is not sending me email notificiations this morning. I wonder what is going on?

I am glad you find my odd concoction vapable my friend

In a week much of the bite of the banana will have steeped out. It mellows quite nicely over time.

Yes, and that's from somebody who doesn't like fruit or desert vapes. The banana has already started to steep a little, but the bottle is nearly gone so I don't think it will have a chance to steep much more now. I ran out of Lucky Strike a few days ago so I shall probably make a few larger batches of things tonight.

Thanks Myrany, not many e-liquids pass the 10ml test for me and go on to larger batches. That makes 4 for me now. (If a 10ml batch only lasts a few days, then obviously a larger batch is required). They are all 4 completely different flavours. How weird.

 

[Myrany]

So glad to be of help my friend. Many of you are so much more experienced at all this than I am its kinda hard to pay back all the help you ALL have given me.

Laughing my fool .... off! Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!! OMG I was sooooooo not expecting that!

Hello everyone, finally got the internet back up. Been a long couple of days, I'll try to get back to those of you who offered bottles, sorry that I was unable to even acknowledge your generous offers, but I have been unable to access the internet until now.

My new all metal Vision Viva Nova tank is at the Post Office along with my new Igo W, not really sure about the Igo w, haven't heard much in the way of reviews. It is made to run either single or dual coils, think I'll stick with single for the moment, maybe.

Hottie, good to hear from you again. And that darn ghost Becky shows up once in awhile also.

He got me, too. That was a pretty slick one, there, I must say. Nice work, Fab.

 

[skyztheLynnit]

holy crud....25 pages since my last post...i'm not catching up LOL

so hi hi everyone

Hottie!!!! Whoop!

 

[chellemmm]

Then she just disappeared.

Hottierockstar is as elusive as an ohm meter box. Maybe they exist in another dimension, appearing here for only brief moments like ghosts.

In stock e-mail notification at 7am, immediately checked bank account balance, ohm meter box already out of stock.

I keep thinking I need to make one of these:

Ohm Meter | For Low Resistence measurement | Electronics Project

Our multimeters are useful, they're just not particularly accurate below 10 ohms.

 

[Myrany]

Fab I had a thought (mind you I can't solder and have no idea how).

WHat about taking a 510 connector from someplace like madvapes and soldering on wires for postive and negative to the right parts of the connector. Then just connecting a standard multimeter to that using gator clips.

check it with no atty screwed on to get a baseline then screw in an atomizer and test again. subtract one from the other to get the ohms.

I have a pair of leads wired to a 510 connection mounted in a piece of wood, which also serves as my recoiling platform. Even with this rather sure connection, my DMM is off by .3-.5ohms and rarely stops moving. I don't know what this magic LED display is that the black box ohm readers use, but all the circuitry is already built in (like the voltage testing displays that work perfectly with lithium batteries). I would like a few of these ohm testing displays so I can make some ohm readers for my vaping friends.

I already did that, it's still not as useful as using an APV that checks ohms. Like fabricator said, our DMMs weren't made to measure such low ohms. Owning 3 DMMs and having bought 2 of them just to check atty ohms with no success, I find the constant recommendation from nearly every sorce to purchase a DMM to check the ohms of rebuilt coils very annoying. Combining this DMM inaccuracy with the difficulty to find an ohm meter box in stock anywhere is a recipe for frustration and even disaster for some.

Another in stock notification e-mail came early this afternoon, but they sold out again before I had the chance to check my e-mail. That makes 6 times. Hottierockstar is not this elusive.

Oh I agree on the annoyance of people insisting either I need a better multimeter or to gain the brains to use the one I have. I also agree I can't get a good reading except by my vamo.

I was just trying to come up with a stopgap idea until one of the boxes could be snagged.

Yes, and you could also make up a special set of leads, with the short banana plugs on one end and the 510 connector on the other. This will help the accuracy of the readings by eliminating the tricky procedure of holding the probes on two different poles (one threaded, the other a center pin).

It would help a lot because sometimes you have to look at the reading for about 10 seconds until it settles down - this would be due to some capacitance in the circuit. It's not an unusual phenomenon.

The reason we have to recommend a multimeter is that there is really very little else available. Commercially available test equipment designed to test low ohms accurately is hundreds or even thousands of dollars and is massive overkill for our application. Mostly we just need something that can read 0 to about 6 ohms with about 2% accuracy. The device from MadVapes is perfect, but is not available in large enough numbers to be able to supply everyone.

I favour a cheap circuit that we can plug into our multimeters, and use the digital display. For example, you set the multimeter on the 20uA range and screw the atomiser onto the box attached to the multimeter. A reading of 2.63uA would be 2.63 ohms and so on. This is a cheaper alternative because the output device is usually the most expensive (eg panel meter) or the most complicated (digital display). We all have multimeters, so why not use them?

The problem is finding or designing a linear circuit that will output the range we need. I'm pretty sure there are people here on ECF that have the experience to knock one up quite quickly. I might have quick look at the cost of putting together the circuit I linked to. (I thunk a thought - Fasttech sell electrical components - must have a look!)

 

[Myrany]

ok I had to read that 4 times but I think I made sense out of it Fab. My apologies but I am not very well versed in electronics and circuitry though I do understand the math well having taken and taught way too many physics classes.

I see what you are trying to do. I would think it should work if you can find the right setup and parts.
