Question about a Genesis on a PT

[asdaq]

Yeah I hear you, time to vape and enjoy.

Sometimes it is the little things that matter.

Here's is a tale of 2 PTs and the same power supply (2A). Volts and ohms measured, amps calculated.

The one on the left using a USB cable from an old mouse, the one on the right a heavy duty USB cable with 22 AWG power wires.

I thought it was 15 posts to get to post pix. Good to upload to a photo hosting site and link them from there. Just don't go and delete them later when they aren't referenced locally, as I have recently done. Many of my threads are ruined.

Hey that is working pretty well, are you using the insert image button, 3rd in from the right? 640x fits. What lathe you got for these, real slick.

sorry if my pics were a little off,1st time pic poster,lol. i have a central machinery 7~10 mini lathe. i picked it up at harbor freight.its probably one of the cheaper ones,but its working like a champ.im new at using it though,give me a few months and ill be alot better im sure. i do love using it.to be honest,most of my genesis attys are just brass tops i fitted to ego tubes,i figured they would be the proper size,and if i had a short or any problems i could scrap the tube and reinsert the top into another tube. plus,i have a ton of old mega cartos just laying around.i do plan on making some 100% brass attys on my lathe,hence the one pic of a2 parts i started,i think in my last pic. anyway,id ramble on all day about turning parts,i love it,please keep the advice coming. i do need it.
