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

[Bimini Twist]

Nothing would surprise me with Turbo, only thing that outweighs his skills is his imagination

That's heavy, man. Heavy.

 

[pdib]

he also modded his Cap'n Crunch this morning.

ouch

. . . . . before "bleakfast".

 

[X-Puppy]

I heard Cap'n Crunch is a pretty good vape!

I would still love to get my hands on his adjustable chamber AFC Cyclone!

 

[Aal_]

He made a machine to sort his Cap'n Crunch pieces in ascending order. Of course the machine runs using an 18650 battery ...

I honestly don't know what's wrong with me, I've been this way since I was a kid. bikes, skateboards, alarm clocks, motorcycles, cars, damn near everything. I'm never really satisfied and when something bugs me I fix it just last week I modded my electric triming groomer shaving thingy to run on a swappable 18650 battery I just look at stuff and automatically think "how can I make this better..." you guys only know about my vape stuff thank god but yeah, hello, my name is john and I mod stuff

Turbo nice thinking man, I am one of those people who experiment with coil positioning and airhole and study the emptiness around the coil in order to get the right air to vapor mix. I first started when people said that harsh throat hit is caused by the hottness in the vapor, and from experiments I realized it is because of wrong air to vapor mix ratio. Also I want to comment on the bit you mentioned above. Your theory is correct and that model you did is beautiful, however you should really calibrate such an experiment in terms of power in order not to have too much unmixed vapor directly to your lungs which translates into the harsh throat hit. So instead of adding air that dilutes the vapor, you should reduce the vapor to match the air available at that tiny chamber you now have. I hope I am clear enough on this. Nice work man, now you gave me some other ideas for other atties as well

yeah you're right, def need to match the power level to the airflow and vice versa, the mixture makes a big difference whether rich or lean

I am noticing now that with the coil at the driptip opening the vape may be a little bit drier, not sensing any increased harshness or throat hit but I notice today my throat feels a little scratchy and dry, not sure if it's because of the coil position or the fact that it was vaping so good that I vaped almost 3 times as much as I normally do yesterday or even if it's an unrelated coincidence but man it's vaping real good right now

You could always swap out the orings between the topcap and the base with thicker ones (10x1.5mm or 10x2mm vs the 10x1mm that are pre-installed) if you want a tighter fit to be able to pull your mod out of your pocket by the atty.

I woulda thought increasing the oring to 50% larger would be too tight, let alone doubling it at 2mm? I used to keep a roll of white cotton thread in my vape stuff to tighten up orings a bit, remove the ring, wrap a few wraps of thread then reinstall the oring. I honestly haven't played with that on the nuppin yet. maybe I'll try to get some 1.5's and 2mm thick 10mm orings and try that too but I have nothing close to that.

honestly your nuppin is really not all that loose, it's not so much a problem with the atty it's more of a problem with me

a while back, i posted that tcad modded Chuck Norris...

They've got 10 x 1.3mm o-rings at theO-ringStore.

Definitely dried out your E.N.&T. with 3Xvaping. Even just a couple extra toots in a particular session will send me to the fridge for an iced tea or some water.

I also wanted to mention a thought that crossed my mind t'other day, when I was doing final shaping on the diV2bi (dibi↔ibid, Dat . .. . Dis-Dat). That thing is so undiscontuberatingly small, that there's actually room to leave some of the take-offings. What I mean to say is that there's actually room now (on the outside) to get a little creative with shapes and have it net no bigger than the existing OliveRdibiSumpin'. I may be doing a little sculpting as things progress. I figure I'll make one or two on spec, here and there, and play with some shapes, maybe. If anyone likes them, they can buy one, and then I'll make more like that (or, not like that; but like . .. ... . "all ArTsy n' see-it". We shall see . .. . it's a fun thought. I been known to make some shapes here n' there.

diV2bi?

dibiDat...

ok, here's a little peek into just how crazy it can get... one day we were discussing high tension wrapping in the microcoil thread and I just couldn't bring myself to do it the way others were, guys were making wrapping a coil into a big ordeal with jigs clamped to tables and hanging weights and even fishing reels with kanthal spooled to them, I like to keep coil wrapping simple and quick and I kept thinking there has to be a better way and I really wanted to try this, so I built a high tension coil winder just to see the difference a tensioned coil can make. heres what those thoughts lead to yeah it does at least make a perfect coil every time in either direction and any diameter I want and I can make like 100 coils in less than an hour, but normal? maybe not so much

Turbo you're unbelievable man, who does stuff like that????? You never stop amazing me

Back to the subject of the switch on the new mod.
Maybe a carved switch cover to give more of an artistic look.
The possibilities are endless.

 

[turbocad6]

I was thinking like a larger, internally domed button, something that looks like a normal button with all of the contact stuff almost hidden inside the dome. could use a delrin sleeve inside the bore under the button to keep it centered. this is almost like a cover for the existing design but the "cover" winds up being the button itself

yes, I've been thinking along similar lines. Thing is this: anything convex has to be very limited in how far it hangs down. The business end of the top contact must be good and clear of all decorative . . .. . stuff. The silver does wear a bit with each aggressive resurfacing, and it has to remain accessible to a flat surface for future "dressing". For milder, maintenance dressing of the contacts there, one can just slip a piece of notecard paper between the contacts, compress the switch, and pull the paper back and forth a couple times. Works great! Keeps the "gap"/alignment perfect too.

Personally, I'm still loving the switch as is. I was just looking at folding knives today, as my wife wants one just like mine for camping and such. Loves me a simple, metal, piece o' handmade gear, I does. Not to worry tho, I recognize the need (for some folks at least) for a decorative option here. But I'm not dealing with that "hands-on" right now. Run#9 is all it's about.

I'm curious why anyone else would be interested in the screw on top, but my reason is because while it fits the dibi perfectly, most other mods don't have a flush to the base cup, so only catches the top ring of the nuppin. This means it's still a great vape, but will easily pop off. The threading would just catch at the top and hold it on.

Otherwise, I like the pop off top, but I have V1 and V2 already, as a lot of us do, so having a V3 with a screw on would give me more options on other mods.

Am I the only one that often doesn't get what Glassgal is talking about?....probably...in this thread anyway. Maybe I should stick with the old folks thread or something. But I love the banter here.

I wasn't going to get into this. I was just going to let it pass ( brraaaAAAP) . . . . . .

But, 1) I knew the reason you wanted a twist cap is because you remove your mod from your pocket by way of pulling on the atomizer.

. . . . I'm not going to base any design on that. ever. (but I promise not to do it very lovingly )

2) a screw-on cap with a fixed airhole position defeats about 2/3 of the rest of the design. so, again. . . . . . not.

Try again...the only reason I have for a screw top, is that sometimes I can't get the top half off. I pull and pull and pull. No biggy, except if there's a coil in there.

I also wanted to mention a thought that crossed my mind t'other day, when I was doing final shaping on the diV2bi (dibi↔ibid, Dat . .. . Dis-Dat).

I'm not fixing that post again to get my pic inline damnit.

 

[pdib]

rather than pulling the topcap off, twist it off. The o-rings are much friendlier to a spinning motion. Once the cap starts to move, then continue turning but pull up too. (I twist clockwise, so as not to dislodge the atty).

Definitely ingenious, but with talents like those maybe you and Peter should be taking on Tesla.......or world hunger....or sumpin.
