Using an Aeolus rda on an istick 50w. .8ohm @ 25w. It's a comfortable vape.

Howdy Wilson! I got my pretty pink iStick 50 a couple weeks ago and loved it so much Mike got me a pretty blue one that showed up this week. I get a whole week out of a charge - that's amazing! It's great for when I'm out and about because I don't have to worry about making sure I have enough batteries with me.

Dang! Slow down!! Trying to catch up here!! :w00t:

I have a hard time "hanging out" sometimes when hubby is watching the TV. I went into another room the other night and had a blast!! I want to do it more!!! I agree, I feel like I know people better from this hangin' out experience.

Not next week, but the following week I will be most of the week (enough weeks?) alone with Tasha in a motel outside Gettysburg for the American Belgian Tervuren National specialty. Hubby is going to go do another show in Hampton, VA, so Tasha and I will be chilling in the evenings and I WILL be hangin' out!!!! :banana::banana::banana::blink: and free motel wifi, not tethered to my phone...

The SX-M class and DNA40 boards are designed to work w/ very low Ω coils. When using like a .14Ω coil on a DNA40 mod you're well within the design limits of the circuit board. Put that .14Ω coil in a mech and you're pushing the limits of most batteries.
Plus you'll melt the wire and wouldn't get a vape any way.

Wow, I'm amazed you got that picture! They're not the easiest birds to catch! We've got at least 2 pair at my 2 feeders and of course they both want the same feeder and chase each other all the time. Need to have a little talk with 'em!

I've been a camera guy since I was 13 .. I bought my first "real camera" in Tokyo, Japan when I was on R&R in the service .. for many, many years, I longed for my own darkroom but never talked myself into actually making one ...

So, fast forward to the Digital Age .. I bought into it immediately by dropping around $600 on a Sony Digital Mavica in the mid 1990's or so .. a whopping, if memory serves, less than 1 megapixel unit that stored on 3.5" floppies ... yet, a surprisingly good camera with some fast glass (low light capable) ... I was then able to realize my dream of my own darkroom ... although I don't like the complexity of Photoshop, I do use a very old software called Photo Impact, since I know it inside out .. I also use Lightroom ..

I don't consider phones to be real cameras .. a photographer that's serious about it uses a tool fully designed to do the task at hand, made specifically for that task .. although I have to choke when I say it, there are good phone photos ..

BTW, Janet .. my brain just flashed on the Stained Glass that you got into a while back .. how far did you go with it .. ?? I love stained glass .. a few years back, I spent a year, one day a week, taking photos of any and all stained glass within Churches in a 100 mile radius of my locale ..

We are not entered in anything. Since I will be working alone (vendor) I wouldn't really have time. But it will still be fun! A sea of Tervs! Amd evenings will be great being able to just hang out.

I tried to dry burn nickel once at very low wattage it caught on fire. In fact I think I tried to do it at 580degrees highest the M goes. Easier to rebuild.

What caught fire. Nickel wire doesn't burn.

Do you set a 'max' temp and then set your 'joules'.

Joules is 'beyond' me. Where's Sloth when you need him.

where kg is the kilogram, m is the metre, s is the second, N is the newton, Pa is the pascal, W is the watt, C is the coulomb, and V is the volt.

No I think it was the gunk on the wire that caught fire. It was enough for me to decide not to do it any more. Kanthal never does that. I would just as soon build another coil

Yes it can. I've had mini flame outs on a really gunked up coil w/ Kanthal. It was even more common, though still rare, when dry burring a coil wrapped around SS mesh (remember the old days). Although I think some of that flame was actually the juice in the wick flaming out.

Joules is kinda like watts but different. If you want a little stronger vape you can turn up the Joules a little and you will notice the sag in your battery bar move a little more. You can also use soft mode for a while and if you want a stronger vape go to standard mode. I usually use soft in the morning then standard till evening then back to soft. The other 2 modes don't really work right in Joules mode.

@2legsshrt - does the SX display show the volts and or watts it's firing at for a given Joule setting? I can set the DNA40 to, for example 14 watts, and the display will show me it's firing at 2 volts.

All I know about Joules is that 1 Joule = 1 watt for 1 sec. So to me 20 Joules can be 20 watts for 1 second or 1 watt for 20 seconds. Too confusing.
