I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

[pauly3]

Here are my 2 cents:

.01 = juice likes to collect between the top cap and AFC... With no lip at the atty base means that juice is dripping down onto your mod.

.02 = The stems of all of my drip tips go past the flat part of the inner top deck on top cap. Any consideration of increasing the size of that top cap deck so that the dt stems end up flush and don't create weird air flow? Or am I the only one with crazy drip tips?

Cool. Did you start with season 1?

I kept up with the first season, been keeping up with season 2 now. I'm into it, but it's not one of those shows that I can really explain why I'm into it. My girlfriend watched S2:E1 with me (she hasn't seen season 1 at all) and just plain doesn't get it. Then again, she watches Dog the Bounty Hunter, so I'm not sure her opinion is very credible here.

Was more a habit of starting a new sentence with a capital letter, and i'm avoiding all references to Europe right now, since i ...... the French off 3 weeks ago.

My email had an autoreply set-up "je suis Trunky".

I have no comment to make on the Greek events, or Italians.

I always found Hungarians reasonable in the tea-leaf readings they did for me.

Well, on the .01, that's what I thought too; and all I've had to go on is paying close attention to what happens with my atties (and specifically, my Nuppin'). If what I thought, and you're proposing, were true, then whenever I pulled off the cap, I'd expect to see a gathering of liquid on the rim (where it's collecting and not moving on through). But I don't. I always see an evenly dispersed moistness, all over the outer walls of the atty (or less, sometimes almost nothing). I would be glad to hear of contrary sightings.

Also, we all, from time to time, end up with a little juice on the top of the mod. Condensation (at least on my LH setups), a tiny bit of oversquonk bleeding down around the atty base. My point is that we all have a little cleanup to do from time to time, but we don't experience "flooding" when we pull the cap off and release all this hypothetical juice that was trapped by a bottom rim and can now escape. Do we? (I don't; but it might be an anomalous anecdotal finding).

.02, Hmmm, OK. I had originally measured all my drip tip stems when I drew up the first version. So, I'll revisit that if it's a problem for more people.

i think releasing hypothetical juice is what got me in trouble with the moderators last time! Mythical is better.

Here's me on a random cap pull . . . (just now)

this is about a minute after pulling the cap. I had some out of focus shots and relocated the mod for better light. So, a bit of the "wall juice" migrated down to the rim. In any case, there's no welled up juice just waiting to escape, and the top of the mod is dry, so it didn't already escape.

It's a valid concern tho, and probably the one I've been mulling over the most too.

ah_ aH_ AH_UP! ↑ Where's you're caps, Trunk?

i never use a capital 'i' when i mean me, because it's egotism!

Yup .02 what, there shouldn't be a drip tip anyway

I would love to think of a very simple, inexpensive, optional "stop" system that wouldn't let the cap slide down on an EGOtwist. I'm totally open to ideas.

It's been suggested that the caps don't need to be interchangeable . . . only the AFC sleeves need be universal. Can anyone think of a scenario to disprove this hypothesis?

Side note: Someone asked earlier today, and I forgot to reply: the fabrication/production schedule is not being altered by these design changes or the time it's taking to make them. We have some lag time before the machines are ours.

OH! wait! NO!


I'm taking pains to free up the design for chamber reduction. We're even thinking about repositioning the juice feed hole so that a person could jack the 510+ out by a couple mm and still get juice feed. So, maybe if that secret inner lip (you know the one I mean . . . . ) were 2mm up from Ø (allowing for a max of 2mm hyper-skirting of the cap)

i.e. 8mm chamber with a stop at 6mm min. chamber size

well, not a couple mm on the "jack" . .. . that's too much to ask of a little ol' juice feed hole. hmmmmmm

At this exact moment, I'm thinking about the bottom o-ring and it's groove. Could one replace that with an optional fatter o-ring or some-such, and change the dynamics of the topcap? .. . . fatter o-ring . . .. rabbetted topcap . .. .? hmmmmmmm?



ADDIT: nope.

the shallow elongated rabbet in the topcap sleeve would negate the value of the normal o-ring.

the only problem with that (although I like it for it's own sake), is that that 2mm will guarantee shorting out for the exact person the stop was there for in the first place.

how about that igo-s post in one of the neg. terminals, only it's a toothpick . . . .. and it stops the cap.

ANybody got a Etch-a-Sketch I can borrow so I can get this all down?

 

[Filthy-Beast]

I like the chamfered top better than rounded.

Don't particularly care either way on the AFC. However just wondering if you mix AFC and caps from V1 and V2 how that would look. The bottom chamfered edge of the new cap against an old AFC. Or a chamfered AFC against the flat top of and older cap.

 

[pdib]

That particular spec (at the top of the AFC cap) is same on paper as was the first run. There is a tiny chamfer on the existing too. Were there any difference, the two parts (one first run, one second) would still marry nicely.

 

[steven445]

yes. probably a bit more before I could possibly be shipping them.

Ok sounds good!
Thanks Dib!
Please PM me the day they are available and I will gladly pay for the 3 I asked for.

well then that is a tiny chamfer, I never noticed it before.

did you zoom out yer doodlehopper? 25% zoom of those screenshots looks to be about double real size still.

now I did, barely noticeable like my V1.
