PDIB's Making MODs!

She cannot be very good at volleyball - her opponent is either a coconut tree or lying down already sunbathing.

Mr Mundy's iceberg might beat her. I'd also reckon the woman on the right has been in the saddle far, far too long.

Looks like you're really having a fun trip! How's the stabilized wood holding up to the temperature/weather variances?

 

[supertrunker]

stabilised?? i had to check Mundy hadn't left the country with my Dibi!

Well, while I was rewicking and dry buring my coils today, I managed to short it out. Zapped my fuse. Promptly installed the copper strip. Had to adjust the screws to regain contact. What fun. But damn, refreshed coils hit like a champ. I tend not to notice the gradual drop off in performance until it's way past due.

Is that wise? I rebuild coils when i am bored is all.

After 3 weeks or non stop harassment of the butcher here, and i mean Monday - Wednesday - Monday - Thursday, the tenacious HRH managed to score some pork belly!

It's not bad!

Dibby is busy messing with the nuppin anyway. Lose the provari top and i'll go for one.

T

agreed. it was a bit of a surprise to me as well.

 

[pdib]

yeah, I was messing with the atty. Part of the compromise VH and I came to was that the proto- would come with something resembling a normal centerpost (albeit a short one). The other part was; after I confirmed that the atty worked like that, I'd rip it out and replace it with my "crazy scheme of the looney" centerpost. Which is what I fabricated just this afternoon. The idea here, is that a coil is a pretty rigid thing. Given that, would neg. wire capture be sufficient to keep everything in place? So my experimental centerpost ends at the deck, has no proper wire capture, and you just stuff the pos. lead(s) down the hole as you're inserting the neg. It takes a bit of fiddling, in that the wire can't be perfectly straight. Once the coil is made and the wires trimmed to length, one needs to put a couple crimps or bends or twists in the pos. leg to insure early contact with the tube it's in. Not too difficult. So, now I've got a coil ( . . .. . well, three coils) in there and I'm gonna vape it for a while and see if there's any contact issues. (I sincerely doubt there will be.)

Kids, this ain't no beginner's atty. It takes some skill to build on; but, hey, the possibilities are limitless.

triple 28g Kanthal, Rayon, 0.5Ω. Both airholes are wide open. I'm calling it Medusa . . . . .. dunno why

so, this is or isn't my dream one-handed vaper's atty?

 

[4nic8]

Considering it kind of reminds me of the rose v2 with the holes, I can say I'd have had a hard time with that one with only one hand...

 

[pdib]

only one way to find out, D.


I'm already eager to try another build. A super simple one. Just a straight single coil. I guess, now that I think about it, it could be a beginner's atty too. All depends on what you do with it. (not to confuse a one handed man with a beginner. two different things.)

 

[supertrunker]

i'd say no Dennis.

Also, with just a paperclip bend in the coil to hold it in there, what happens when the coil is old after a week or turbo drops it on day 2?

To even hold in there is going to need something stiff (direct quote from HRH). Why have recessed hex bolts in the side, if there's nothing holding the +ve? Why would one work and not the other?

Earlier, Peter implied he liked "square shoulders" on atties. But in real life, shoulders aren't square, they do have some curve to 'em... Kinda like your firing button does. So how about giving the top of the atty a profile similar to the top of the firing button? I think it would be a relatively unique shape and look for at atty. Of course, you might also hate the idea. Anyone good with Photoshop? I'm not.

 

[pdib]

this is what I had submitted for styling.

but we're not going there. Can't, I gather.

I don't know. you like to stick with a coil for some time, don'cha S.Trunks? does it go limp or something? If turbo drops it on day 2, it has absolutely no effect on my coil. Lookie here, there's seventhousandthreehundredseventytwo atties out there to choose from, all more or less the same. If you wanna try something different and have a little fun, cool. If it doesn't seem practical, and you need all your atties to be practical, no harm; just don't buy it. Anyway, today is day 1 of the no positive capture experiment. I'm just gonna see what it does. Nothing's decided yet.

I see what you're trying to achieve here, but I'm a bit skeptical of the quality and reliability of the electrical connection you're going to have by just stuffing wires into a hole. That doesn't mean it won't work, but I could see it being fidgety.

Kids, this ain't no beginner's atty.

Can the regular centerpost be an available option? Please?

 

[Rossum]

Really? I'm scratching my head wondering why a radially symmetrical shape like that would be difficult?

 

[B2L]

I'm game for anything you decide, I'm sure either way it vapes like Nuppin we've ever Vaped before

I like the no post concept, seems as if it would make it easier to build on. My biggest issue is lining up wire ends into tiny holes with aging eyes.

 

[supertrunker]

Do you think a week is longevity for a coil?

My question was actually why capture one wire with a hex bolt and not another? No need to get touchy about it, you're one of the best coil builders there are and experiments are good.

I am not the best coil builder and i'm asking a simple question about the reliability of a connection like that is all.

And if it's crap - i won't buy it!

Wisdom has never been one of my strong points. I've been wanting to put a new build in it, but was not wanting to spend the time to do it. Ended up spending more time with my rewick than it would have taken to rebuild.

i like that bit the best! smh.

I have 2 Dibis, both in full working order.
