Scubagen Mods

Throw us some more bones! Woof, woof! Okay, I've been meaning to ask, you've been using #1 for what, close to 2 months now? How many cleanings and replacement of the coil have you done?

I have changed the coil once, it did not burn out, just alot of residue on the SS and low vapor production. Pulled it apart and burned the SS and washed it and added a new coil. Been a month since I did that. I use a maple caramel apple, so the surgar from the maple gums it up some what faster. No biggy took me all of 5 min to clean and re-coil it.

oh man i just had a thought. instead of bending the wick over in a u shape - have a straight wick come out each hole with a coil on each one for dual coil fun! well maybe not quite that simple on scubagen3 but an interesting idea none the less...

The Genisis traditionally has one straight wick, one though..

Been there done that, search in the genesis thread for dual coil, I posted a pic of it running dual coil.

WOW! I am so excited about this...Thanks for doing all this Dan.

 

[classwife]

That's a lotta work just laying them out !! Not even mentioning packaging them up !

Dan...what do you think about starting a trouble shooting thread ? Or do you want to keep it all here ?

Ummmm....only 2 1/2 wraps glowing...from the positive side...wraps not touching, nothing broken....

Am I gonna have to re wrap this already ? (I be noivous !) LOL ! What else can I look for ?

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

Hi classwife...just carefully tap the wraps of coil that were /are glowing...not while hot...then re check...

and let me guess you cleaned it...lol

BTW changing it out isn't so bad...might take you a few times but all in all the scubagen is pretty easy...

and those quick change posts make a big difference...

 

[classwife]

Yes...gently cleaned...thick gunk and no vapor....everything looks perfect...


adjusted each wrap....still no better...

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

well if you wind up w no vapor still after gently moving the coils thet were glowing then you will have to pull the wick and change...but I have gotten away with simply cleaning and tapping the coils if needed several times...

I have only had to change the wick and coil on the DSU once...

 

[classwife]

I guess I'll re wrap it in the morning...better light...all of my usable equipment still packed up in garage...(only been here 8 years !)

 

[classwife]

The wire looks almost fresh, no breaks..just no glow past 2 1/2 wraps.

Not really afraid of making a new coil....

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

you do know you aren't supposed to dry burn a genesis atty coil...frankly once you get used to it having a spare wick and coil prewrapped handy changing them out will be childs play with that thing...that is one sweet mod you have there as I am sure you have learned...

 

[classwife]

NO !

I did not know....



No laughing allowed !!!!

(you're laughing !)

...don't leave....

 

[classwife]

Ok...now that I have quit laughing at myself....filled it up...gee...I have great vapor !!!!!

Hugs Madman !!! (is that ok in here ?)

 

[MadmanMacguyver]

I didn't.....PMd and helped....

disaster\panic averted...have a nice evening Dan...Now I have to go fix a car...its battery is smoking....Hey! thats not vapor...

 

[classwife]

Thank you Madman !!!!

 

[classwife]

I was just driving down the road and my car just stopped for no reason........





....Lady....you're out of gas........

 

[Gummy Bear]

No, not the gas. Mad has been using his car battery to power his Flux capacitor mod again.
