As for batteries....
My Don uses 3.7 900mah 16340

My BB uses 3.7v 900 mah 14500

And the saber uses 2-3.7v AW IMR 16340 regulated to 5v

AW for me and nothing else , but that's just me.

Just to throw in what is working for me.

I am using a NoEgo that regulates at 3.7V with un-protected 18650's from laptop batteries. One battery last all day and stays consistent until the battery drops below 3.7V. My SGV3 is running 5 wraps and I have a single hole in the top with a tube to bring the air flow up against the coil.

Also something that I have found to make a huge difference in wicking is that the mesh needs to be rolled tight enough that is fits loosely in the spacers going into the tank. This has made more difference than anything else I have played with. Also my coil ends are too long and I need to make new terminals to be able to bend them in towards the wick as I made them too short to bend in. Keeping the wick low was a mistake as it actually hindered wicking by putting the curve too close to the through holes. Wick needs to be straight and loose going through the body.

With wick being loose in the holes how do you keep it from flooding the upper chamber when laid down, etc.?

Earlier in the thread I had asked for help with strong TH and coughing, and I was advised by several members that I should add more air by drilling a small hole in the upper chamber. I wanted the air to come from under the coil so I thought I would try something a little different. I drilled a 7/64 hole in the SS band that is between the o-rings for the tank and the upper chamber. I then notched the bottom of the upper chamber to allow for air. You can regulate the airflow by turning the upper chamber to open or close as much of the hole according to your likes.

Works really well and now my strong TH is much better and I am finally enjoying my Scuba. I did the drilling in a mill to be able to be very precise since there is little room for error.

glad to hear it V.

surface tension

physic must not exist in my house. I usually get about 3/32 high of juice in the upper chamber unless I have a tight fit in the holes. I use heatshrink on my mesh instead of bic pens.

With my center hole sealed if it does collect in the top it just drains back down when I pick it up. However I generally never lay it down.

It is interesting to see the innovations based off my basic work, this is what makes the community great! Sharing.

That's a gas!

Gave up on the scuba cuz I ran out of mesh. So i finished my version of genisis which is the same as original one, it works awesome!!! Flavor is great, throat hit is on spot. Made me light headed like if i just smoked my first cig. Will continue on scuba once I get more mesh and continue to better my own project. Here are some pics. Enjoy.

Still huge on my 18650 mod. A tad bit smaller than scuba. I don't see me using regular attys anymore lol

It is all about the watts per square meter of coil surface (resistance wire thickness being equal). An oversimplified example: 3 watts across 3 wraps gives the same coil surface temperature as 6 watts across 6 wraps, but the 6/6 setup will vaporize twice the e-liquid in a given amount of time.

The whole reason I got the SGV3 was because I want just insane clouds of vapor. What I was thinking was along these lines. Lots of coils to increase surface area but that increases Ω's therefore I surmise that I will need to increase the voltage. Since the SGV3 is pretty big, it's pointless to try to go incognito with it. What my dream PV is a SS tube mod with 2 3.7v 18650 battys and 6.8Ω resistance. But that brings me to another question... If I'm vaping these massive amounts of liquid... Am I going to have issues with the wick not being able to keep up with the coils? Also I think I will have to go from 20mg down to like 10 to 12 mg nic level.

And why haven't I been told about this dream pv jewsir? Lol like my genny? She hot isnts she?

And why haven't I been told about this dream pv jewsir?

I finally did enough research about vaping to come up with power requirements for my insane vaping sessions.

Lol like my genny? She hot isnts she?

She is gorgeous. I would love to hit dat!!! And I bet I will hit dat tomorrow while you're at work.

 

[urquidezj]

Haha u can only hit it once tho! I don't want u wearing her out lol. She hits amazing man!

She is hot Good job man

 

[urquidezj]

Thanks lorderos, now I need to make a shorty batt mod so I can take this thing out in public lol and of course work on a slim version.

 

[Scubabatdan]

Yeah!
Part #2 done, and part # one screws into part # two, I think I got the hang of lathe threading. 5/8" @ 32tpi in SS
