Lots of good people doing lots of very useful charts, graphs and articles, and last night for some reason, I found myself tossing up links to them quit a bit, so... I thought I'd take the ones I've used the most* in the last week, and put them all in one place. Rebuildables seemed like the best choice for sub-forum.

- Battery max amperage and minimum resistance chart. Credit to Baditude for the making and updating the list in the first place, and to Steam Turbine for taking that list, calculating safe resistance values and making a chart out of it. (original thread link for commentary)
- Up next is a coil wire / wraps / resistance spreadsheet. This comes from a thread started by nerak, contributed to by many... then recently turned into a nice spreadsheet, that is continually updated by ancient puffer.
- Mech voltage drop testing. This is an ongoing standardized test process by Calivapers member - jkuro. It gets updated as people drop off or send him mechs for testing. Probably the most accurate & unbiased mech test list you'll see.
- Understanding batteries. This was recently written buy member TUC, and is one of the best written, most detailed and well researched articles I've ever had the pleasure to read. Do not blow this off... even battery savvy people will enjoy this.
- There's no such thing as knowing too much, at least when it comes to batteries... so, for your reading pleasure, Baditude's blogs on the subject. Part I, Part II and "Basics for mods - IMR or Protected".
- Ohms law calculator. There are a zillion of these on the interweb. TUC has one on the Invape site... and the one I've linked to is just one I happen to like. You don't like it? Keep looking... I'm sure there's something out there that will suit your personal tastes.
- Kayfun 3.1 user manual. There are a boatload of Kafun 3.1 "clones" out there... and this is the 18 page manual for the original Svoe Mesto Kayfun 3.1. If you have a Kebo, EhPro, Tobeco (or a forgery from one of 53 other Chinese companies that seem to make a Kayfun knock off)... you might want to look at this, so you understand just how much time and effort went into the original product.
- Silver conductive grease. I'm don't have any connection to this product other than I've used it. I've listed it because it's not easy to find if you don't know where to look. If you can afford it, this may very well be the ultimate in conductive grease products. "Mech Grease" can be a bit of a hot button issue, so... the link only with no additional commentary.
If you have an electronics supply store in your town, they may stock it, or something like it. - *How to use a DMM (digital multimeter). There's nothing extensive on ECF, and considering the variety of meters and number of generic and model specific guides already written, there's no reason for anyone to do so. I found one for the "SparkFun" DMM. Seriously... that's the name SparkFun. I kid you not. (actually, the Sparkfun website is pretty cool, if you get a chance check it out) - I've reviewed most of this, and it appears to do a good job of it without burying a n00b in techno-babble, and you have a choice of written or video. There are hundreds more tutorials on line. Don't like this one? You know the routine.
- How tank type atomizers work. Lots of pressure differential tanks out there, from Kanger and iClear clearos, to Kayfuns, Squapes and Taifun GTs.... all pressure differential. Written for new users with clearo questions, but if you don't know how your Russian 91% works, have a read. Written by some dillweed who shall remain nameless.
