Scubagen Mods

I got my scubas yesturday big thanks dan! I had it running within two hours and used my jonboy tank tubes for the tubing works great and is rock solid.
Took maybe 15 mins of firing and light sucks to get rid of the initial burn/mesh taste but its a true champ now. Nice flavour and good throat hits.
Top part does get alot of condensation!

Glad you got it! Just remember to use a little dab of food grade silicon around the pos wire in the top cut out. This will reduce the condensation from flowing back down the pos wire and prevent leaks at the batt connector. And force it to pool and return to the tank.

I noticed when i was building it if you push the posts down to far it can short through the stainless, when it happens it makes the whole wick live and shorts where the wick goes through the holes into the bottom tank. Just another thing to look out for if you suspect a short.

Edit: I dont quench my wicks at all i use ceramic/silica tubes. 3 pieces one in each hole that goes to bottom tube and one the resistance wire wraps onto.

If the same coil is fluctuating between 1.8 and 3.2 ohms, that's a pretty good bet that you have a short of some kind in there someplace.
Sorry. I meant I have made coils from 1.8 -3.2
Its not fluctuating I will play with it more. thanks

Little something from the all my mods thread..... Kind of fits in here.....

Just as a little word of warning Please be careful, when adjusting the proper setup.

I'll be willing to buy 5 or 6 of those from you if you order some. I think tapping the holes for 4-40 and using the screws Dan listed with the springs and some regular washers that I can bevel would be the ticket. That place also has some cool looking beveled washers too, but they look pricey.

Well maybe not that pricey. I'll kick in for a few of those also.

Jim, I haven't smoked a cigarette in a year and a half and I could probably stop vaping at any time, but this has grown to be a hobby of mine as well. I find it mentally exercising to apply some of the great ideas I find here. This forum is full of very talented folks.

 

[jimbalny]

It wouldn't work, there would need to be contact to the body for the negative post and its too hard to solder to stainless steel. Or I'm not understanding what ur getting at

Check this out, PK was prodding me, so here is what I came up with. Fully adjustable air and juice flow. The new ring with the cut out in it slides over the part below it, a new oring groove was cut into the the part below it. When the two parts are rotated the gap can be closed to restrict juice flow.
Well what do ya think PK?
Fully adjustable air and juice flow with replacable coil!

That's odd, I have my top tube at 1" long and the vapor is very warm. Warmer than the analogs I used to smoke for sure and my coil is a good ways from the mouthpiece. What is your resistance and battery power? Are you vaping at too high an Ohm for the voltage you're feeding the coil? I'm running 1.6 OHM on the Provari at 4v.

lorderos, I vape at 1.8Ω and 3.6V. That's 7.2W Yours are 10W. Probably why yours are hotter than mine....

Lookin' awesome Dan!

Is the one lower ring for the air adjustment and the upper one for the juice flow adjustment?

If so, I'm guessing you would have to turn both rings when you adjust the air, as to keep the juice adjustment from changing.

Are you going to put a knurl on the outside edge of the rings to make them easier to adjust?

Make the rings ~1/32" +/- bigger than the poly tubing to maker them easier to grab.

That makes perfect sense

Dan,

Make the air flow ring lock with the juice flow ring when you turn it in one direction, and make the juice flow ring turn by itself in the other direction.

Yeah! I'm not askin' for much.

Y'all are just beyond me here. I'm still asking, rotating on what? How is the liquid environment staying sealed when you are rotating part of the outer shell?

O-Rings...

I'm not sure if I fully understand it yet either.

 

[mj64]

O-Rings.

I had thought of that but discarded it as an unreliable method of keeping a seal in a moving parts arrangement.

I can spin the poly tube on all my tanks without a problem...

Oh, silicone, thats a slicker situation. I was actually thinking of the o-rings that seal some serviceable areas in my pool pump\filter. But there's a lot of pressure there.

Actually if I understand the DSU correctly, the inner tube, which doesn't move, will house the joose, while the area between that tube and the outer tube is for airflow.

I've got to pick up a few extra nails...always screw up something. Is THIS the ones that came in the Co-0p order?

Thanks
