I'ld like to see how it goes with the plutonium. If you glow in the dark, it'll be easier to find your mod at night.

I agree. What's the point of selling a mod that can take updates if they don't actually do the updates? Maybe, the update is just too big? Maybe they had to make more changes than just do updates to make it all work?
Yep the plutonium was a yoke. The mod itself is a little bigger so it kinda looks like the chip may be bigger they don't say too much about how it works but I imagine it has an adjustable TCR so it can use all those wire. Then you have to know the TCR of each wire which I'm not even sure what TCR stands for but I know they have been talking about it on the Ti thread. I think the DNA200 has it and I believe another one does too. I know that it stands for how much resistance a certain type of wire has. Getting complicated. I think the DNA200 has to be adjusted with your computer which people don't care for.

Oh - I just remembered using magnesium fire starters back in my scouting days. Dry burning a magnesium coil will be interesting


Anyone remember actual flash bulbs? Magnesium filaments in them burning very fast was how they worked.
I wonder what the temperature coefficient is though? Might be excellent for temp control. Too hot and they just poof?

Plutonium does have a very high temperature coefficient.

Magnesium's temp coefficient is too low to work very well with temp control :(
Where do you buy your plutonium wire? I used to buy it from this guy in France, but he doesn't answer my emails anymore.

Y'know what I used to do? I used to peel the plastic film off of the bulbs, so the explosion wouldn't be contained and the whole thing would blast into a million pieces. You'd also get a flame coming out of the flash reflector.
Good times.

Drawing from memory here... (HEY! NO noise from the p'nut gallery, I do still have one. Somewhere...)

TCR is Temperature Coefficient of Resistance. Plugged into the right equation (and hopefully the chip!), it's used to calculate how much the resistance changes with changing temp.

Actually, the plutonium coils are made for cloud competitions, right? :headbang:

But the vapor declines after the half-life period, right?
It declines continuously but too slowly to notice a difference in any 5 year period. Besides, within moments of the introduction of plutonium coil wire, there will be mods that increase power automatically as radioactivity is reduced.

I remember flash bulbs. We used to make trip wires with a clothespin to fire a flash bulb. Something like this picture but we used AA batts and flash bulbs not a buzzer. Planted strategically during hide&seek games or later years in dark dorm rooms - yep .. it was fun.

That is the magnesium coils. You get one massive cloud per coil.

You can do it with your eyes closed because there's nothing that you have to be able to see when making the coil.
how ya gonna count yur wraps? Don't know when the wire passes "GO" :laugh:

Just for the heck of it I'm going to try to make a coil around a wick using my CoilMaster. I'll report back on whether it worked.
well it was worth a shot

I also take my glasses off for close work. And I have a couple of those big lighted magnifiers on an arm for working on bitty bitty stuff.
gotta take my glasses off for the real close up stuff too. Bifocals were supposed to fix this but didn't of course. The new bifocals are better, but still not right.

It would be a lot handier to have one less thing to juggle! Where did you get yours? Is it heavy?
I got a lighted headband that is fantastic at Lowe's, but it doesn't have the magnifier. It's very comfy though, and much brighter than the one I had with the magnifier (which didn't work well at all). Kinda like this.
Streamlight 61052 Septor LED Headlamp with Strap - Head Flashlight - Amazon.com
It's 30 lumens I think, 2 of them in a pack for around $7.00 bucks I think. It has the white lights, then also green, red, and flashing red. I keep one on my purse for walking outside at night and one in the vape box.


Supposed to use NI200, Ti, Copper, SS, Silver, Gold and Plutonium wire.
what will they think of next?

No Magnesuim wire yet?
The neurologist told me I have to start taking magnesium, maybe I could just vape it!!


Yipes, gotta take em with water, so I better make sure it's COLD water! Course, it would be pretty kewl if I turned a light shade of purple!! hehehe

Holy crap, the eGo ONE is pretty rad. Just got it today, and it's a winner for me. I got the 2200 mAH battery with it. I'm a happy camper. :)
Welcome to the porch!!! Pull up a chair and get comfy!

Even if counting in half-wrap increments, I can count all the way up to 8 or so with my eyes closed. I'm a very fart smeller, er, smart feller. In order to get a nice 5.5 wraps for instance, I need to wrap about 5.8 wraps because a portion at the end will spring back. But, my eyeballs are not needed to do that.
