Random DIY mixing and More

This is the Kamry K100? If so, that's weird, because I got fuses with mine.

The picture and description said it came with a fuse. I think they ran out and hoped I wouldn’t say anything. Instead I brought it to their attention and got a $15 gift card. If you look now, it doesn’t include the fuse unless you buy the full kit. I just bought the k100 mod that said it came with a fuse.

I am trying a sft of molinberry blueberry. I’ve got it in a hunter mini and it’s a nice blueberry but a little weak at 5% solo. Could be the atty.

Happy Birthday @Zazie

A belated thank you, Fran! I was so caught up with stuff yesterday (nothing fun, sadly: my birthday surprise was a blocked toilet), I didn't even get here.

 

[Zazie]

Good morning.

30% off at ejuices.com with code heatwave30 when you spend 60, 25 off with code hot25 if you spend 50 and 20 off with code warm20 if you spend 35.

Better get those Solo's while you can.

Jeez, do I have to get more? I already have eight.

 

[Zazie]

And belated thanks for all the birthday wishes to the rest of you lovely people, too! I really should have come here yesterday. It would have brightened my sewage-drenched day.

Yesterday wasn't all bad, though. I assigned numbers to the rest of my flavors while listening to Douglas Adams read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. That was both pleasant and productive.

Ordered a grey champagne, limited to that, arctic camo, inferno, or flower of life. The last 3 are a little too flashy for me. I like simple, the blue/green solos are the flashiest vape gear I own.

Of course, I have to order more batteries now. Where does it end?

IMRbatteries is having a nice sale on LG HG2s ($3.99) and Samsung 30Ts ($4.99). It ends Monday.

So I do need something in addition to the Coil Master thing. I suspected as much. Any recommendations for a good multi meter?

I don’t know why you would need anything besides the coil master. I wouldn’t waste my money on the cheap multimeters at harbor freight. I wouldn’t trust them. I work with multimeters every day and only trust a few brands. The ones I use the most everyday are about $400 each.

I use a cheapy MM I got from HD for $20. Works fine for my crude needs. If I made my living from using a MM I would invest the $400 in a nice Fluke which it sounds like you did.

 

[Zazie]

See--I should've checked in yesterday. I could have saved you a few bucks. That'll larn me.

 

[Zazie]

Unfortunately, the ejuices discount doesn't apply to the two things that interested me. Oh well. More money to spend elsewhere.

Could be me but I think all blueberrys are weak. That's why I use Bilberry with them.

I've never used a multimeter when building coils for RTAs or RDAs on my mechs. Always have just used a 510 ohm meter. I trust in my skills to build, but I always leave headroom when it comes to amps on building subohm. On a 25 amp battery I would at most go as low as .2 ohms drawing 21 amps. The last 8 months I've been building coils without an ohm meter, I accidently left it down south. I build at .9-1.1 ohms on 25 amp batteries, and had been vaping that on a mech it draws a measly 4.7 amps.

Wow, Hitt. A $15 gift card for a mod that was, what $5. Great deal, I am even more impressed with them. I have fuses, if you need one.

Lowe's Home Improvement. Or Was Mart. Or Home Depot. or....
They are actually pretty common. Turn the selector with to lowest ohms setting. Use the pointed leads. wait. Reading displayed (I recommend the digital readout).
And turn I off when finished. The 9V battery will die if you leave it on.
(don't want to say how I know, but I know...)

I’ve got two fluke 87v, two i410 current clamps, a digital megohmeter that’s fluke but I forget the model number, a fluke 123 scope meter, and a Simpson analog meter. That’s at work. I keep another 87v at home and a little cheaper fluke I bought 20 years ago that I think was around 150. I’ve done electrical/electronics work so long that I’ve become a little spoiled when it comes to test equipment. I do have a coil master at home too but haven’t used it more than twice.

It would be nice to have one for each mod. I bought two. Can I pay you for them and of course cover shipping?

From DIYORDIY - enjoy!

Fluke is the only way to go when electronics is your life.

I ordered batteries last week to go with the new solos and some replacements for other mods. And as soon as I ordered I got an email about sale. That has happened to me more than once...
