Little itty bitty mods under $100.

I think I'd already gone to bed at 1:13am; can you believe it, Comcast is actually sending someone out today, to see why one of our boxes works sometimes and doesn't work most of the time -- after giving us the 2-weeks song and dance when that idiot truck driver knocked the cable completely off our house! But the only time they had available? Between 8am and 10am. I didn't bother telling them that was right smack in the middle of my sleep time, or they would probably have reverted to the 2-week song and dance.

Looks like I'll be taking a nap this afternoon.

Look on the "bright" side. When has a cable company ever shown up when they say they will? Like....never?

You'll be sitting there waiting...and waiting...and waiting. And if things go as per usual, you'll get a call long about 3pm saying they've "been delayed" and want to reschedule. Yep. Sigh.

 

[AndriaD]

Are you shy too?

Hmmm... a little? Though I think it's more that I'm a bit reserved, until I know someone well. Course, I never knew that until I quit drinking.

I really hope not; we're finally off our contract, so if they give me any static, we'll be going with Dish Network a lot sooner than expected.

You were right -- I sat here until 10:15, and finally called Comcast. The recording noted that I had an appt between 8-10am... on NOVEMBER 18!!! NEXT WEDNESDAY!!!!!! That stupid said "in the morning," when I talked to them last night. So I rescheduled, supposedly for Mon Nov 16, between 3-5pm... so I won't have to get up so dadgum early, and it's 2 days earlier than the appt she SAID was this morning, but really wasn't until next Wed.

And I really can't fire them, due to a special deal on a premium channel that doesn't expire until next May; if I leave them now, they'll back-charge me for a year and a half of Cinemax. So I gotta suck it up at least until May.

I hate them so much, words simply do not exist to describe my loathing. I think I'll go smear them on their FB page; when I did that before because of the cable-downing truck and their inability to schedule an appt for less than 2 wks, it got results. Might also go smear them on the BBB page this time.

I, occasionally, upset myself with my Verizon service (with its 500+ channels)...

Then...I think back to 35 years ago when there was NO cable service...and I could only watch 3 (B&W, NON-HD) channels (CBS, NBC and PBS...a nearby mountain blocked my ABC reception)...

And...that "Indian Pattern" occupied the screen every night from 12MN to 8AM...

And THAT would be far preferable to $222 a month for treating me this way... and the fact that I would need to spend ANOTHER 45 mins on hold just to DISCUSS the fact that the bill has gone up every month for the last year, for no apparent reason.

Because IT WAS FREE. Nobody was gouging my eyeballs to pay for such shoddy, pitiful service.

I see the Temp Control forum has this but haven't seen it here.

The iJoy Solo Mini - they dropped the 'a' :- )

IJOY Solo Mini 75W VW/TC Box Mod W/O Battery

Size: 84x540.4x23.4mm - assume a miss on the decimal - say 84x54x23.4 mm - a bit wide but the offset button placement may compensate.

Kanthal, Nickel and Titanium TC
Output Wattage: 5watts - 75watts.
Output Voltage: 1.0Volts - 8.0Volts.
Output Current: 1.0A - 35A.
Takes on 18650 high amp suggested (not included)

Yaay! Me as well! Thank you! (Survey)


Kent, we were JUST looking at those last nite. Odd shapes, eh?

It is... just 'figuring' on it. As long as the back side is curved as it is, I think one could rotate it to fit both a finger or thumb trigger - both left and right hand - but it would be nice to try one out first

I like the Kanthal TC factor, and it is smaller than it's big brother.

I think it runs kanthal, doesn't run it in TC (would be happy to be wrong)

 

[gandymarsh]

It looks like it does some sort of dry hit protection for all wire types. This is from that linked page.

Features

Upgraded 75W Taste Control Mod
TC Range from 300 - 600°F
Protect All Wires from Dry Hit Problem
Support Almost All Coil materials

Stainless Steel Thread and Spring connector

New Integrated Magnetic Battery Cover

Colorful Protective Shell

Don't worry, be happy

The iJoy Asolo (big brother) was the first Kanthal TC - Phil says 'Taste Control' but it is actually Temp Control - just not the way nickel and titanium are handled but it does the same math as evolv and YiHi only to the 1000th for kanthal and other wires that don't "move" as far ohm-wise as Ni and Ti but the sensor gets that movement and estimates temp just as the others do.

I have the big brother - works as it says it would in Kanthal, NI and TI.

Now that is NICE! A little pricey, but really nice. TC with Kanthal would be super.

Does the "big brother" step down? (I should watch the vid...).

Is it just me, or is that TRULY a "right handed" mod? Interesting none the less, but I worry about our more creative vapers.

I questioned the design too. It felt "desperate" to me. You know, just to be slightly different.

A periodic wandering through the 3F website, where they list the VV/VW mods, is always somewhat entertaining for me. They list a BUNCH of stuff, regardless of whether or not they have it. But some of the things I've seen there have literally made me laugh out loud.
