Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[DavidOck]

I'd suggest regulated for now, with mechanical in the apocalypse box...

 

[Kenna]

By the way, some of you might find this amusing: I've often wondered why we have to have expensive fuel-consuming internal combustion engines to power our vehicles.

Why not just put a knob on the speedometer cable spindle, so you can just set the speedometer needle at whatever speed you'd like? I'm still working on the prototype.

Ummmm.....remote control?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Could be, Legs, that soon all regulated mods will be TC capable. But watching the rapid evolution of it... well, I'll let others work through it for me! Once it's a "mature" tech, I may look again.

TC may become mandated by the FDA to prevent formaldehyde production... A tool of government regulation?

 

[MattB101]

I wonder what percentage of Vapers actually use and continue to use TC?

Less than they think I'd bet. Maybe bought it tried it and quit using it. Some die hard (2legsshrt ) swear by it and it was good when I tried it but, I just find it too "fiddly." Until it gets easier and more accurate all the time I think it's going to sell but, be slow to truly catch on. PBusardo said essentially the same thing at the end of two part review of the Evolv software for the DNA200.

THAT'LL work. Unless of course it flings it across the room first.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Wanna bet?

I do my own coils and wicking. Never a dry hit in my T3's, Evods or Mini Protanks.
If I don't pay attention and run the tank dry I may get a slightly burned tasting hit. But never a dry hit. got a couple of those in cartos when first starting. no fun.

so far I do not fool with Kayfuns and other fiddly RTA's so no dry hits.

My thoughts exactly. Let the others perfect it.

IME, KFs are easier and less fiddly to build than single bottom coils, and I do both. Bigger, easier. No dry hits. If you can rebuild a T3 head, and I know you do, a KF would be the proverbial "piece of cake" to do. You already have the skills and materials, and know how much cotton to use. (Of course, if you switched to rayon, there'd be a slight adjustment.)

 

[Iffy]

Maybe the newer fancier ones due it all electronically, I don't know.

Digital thermometers use a thermistor (aka solid state component) to sense temp.

Da mercury saved by da upgrade can now be used in those 'green' CFL POS light bulbs.

Since it was thermostats rather than thermometers that I was talking about, do some thermostats now use thermistors to control on/off for the heating and A/C, instead of using bimetallic strips?

The fiddly I am speaking of is the up to 40 pieces of the atty. O rings everywhere, etc. Itty bitty screw to refill thru etc... I would need a whole bag full of those screws btw.
Once you get the T3 coil rebuilding down it is fast an easy and only takes a moment to change the wick/coil.
2 of my T3's have been in constant use for over 6 months with 2-3 tanks per day vaped in each of them. No seals or anything bad yet. And even if you add all the possible separate parts including the coil parts it is only 9 parts.

Most of them I think. All the ones with digital setting LCD displays do.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I really am tempted to get a Youde Goblin Mini. However the screw filling will prevent me from getting it.

Bob I think he's talking about the Kayfun V2. Lots less parts than the V4. Yes the V4 is FIDDLY! You can get a top fill top for the V2 from Fasttech cheapcheap.

The Kayfun V4 is way over engineered and has a gazillion pieces. The KFL-Lites are not fiddly at all. Even Janet now prefers them over her past clear's, vivi novas, Nauty's and GS-airs.

Yep an no more little mercury filled contact assy on the bimetallic coil either. Banned. So the cheap mechanical thermostats will get burned contacts in not too long of a time period and go bad. They are still available though.

Well, the KF2 series has about the same number of parts as a PT2.... let's see...

plus a couple o-rings...

Yah, the V4 is a whole 'nother animal!

Ohh well I am cheap and have enough T3's, Evods and Protank mini's to last me for years. Aside from some VG I would have to buy nothing for the next year.

And you can top fill them. While I use the bottom fill screw on my V2s, I have a couple of 3.1s that I top fill. Just don't care for the side fill on those...

3 screws, and I see 4 or 5 orings.
And that little bottom fill screw would keep me away. Once dropped never found.
