Same as having a small chimney surely.....does it produce a hot vape as I like my vapes to be on the cool side?

@Daniel Forsyth you may want to speak up here

I vape my Brunhilde MTL rta's at 25.2 watts and they produce a nice cool vape for me Charlie, I do like to keep cool too

Good Morning Shiny People

I got tracking this morning and was sorely disappointed that it is coming via Netherland Post. They have a warehouse in Texas that could put it here in a few days instead of weeks. By the time it arrives I will have forgotten that I ordered it.

if I got it in two days, I’d have forgotten I’d ordered it.

I expect it’s a lot like the RDTAs I’ve been using, that also are like an RDA with a tank below. Dripper level flavor but with the steady juice flow of a RTA. Took me a while to get used to the height of them - visually, weird. But it’s hard not to fall in love with how well they work.

Have a wonderful evening/night/morning/afternoon Everyone...until tomorrow....stay cool and stay safe...

Ah I only know the bare basics of electricity/electronics mate. I stand corrected, but I always had it that DC is delivered to a neighborhood where it's transformed to AC for general household use....?
The same I see happening with the Z 80...DC from the battery is converted to AC at the coil.

You're right Fred, but DC isn't transported to the neighbourhood. My understanding of it is that for distances longer than about 500Km, high voltage DC (HVDC)tech can be a more efficient carrier (with limitations), with less loss over distance. Normally though, three phase AC power in very high voltages (150,000 to 500,000V or more) is transported from power plants to the substations where a series of step down transformers takes the voltage down to around 7,000 V AC. From there it is distributed along the street wires where more step down "drum" transformers reduce it to the 240V (in Australia) AC power that comes from our wall sockets.

Here's a pretty good explanation if you're interested:

http://www.science.smith.edu/~jcardell/Courses/EGR220/ElecPwr_HSW.html

The bigger appliances in our homes like fridges, ovens, laundry equipment etc use AC power but nearly all the home electronics devices that use smaller loads convert to DC with a wall-wart or internal AC/DC transformers.

Every time you guys talk about the Brunhilde I hear Elmer Fudd singing opera in my head.





I'm just going to have to buy one to see what the fuss is all about.

Thanks mate. Very informative post. I never realised the smaller electronic devices runs off DC.
No wonder you were confused with my earlier post...
So does it make sense to say then... AC is used on the Z 80 not because AC (as such) "makes better flavor" than DC...?
Rather because the frequency can be adjusted with AC, the flavor can theoretically be manipulated.
I really do taste a difference between lower and higher frequencies....not so much the flavor, but the heat and "intensity"....which I would think relates to flavor.... That makes sense to you?

I've always had major coil envy. But since I prefer lil baby fused claptons, I admire from afar.

I finally tried out my camera in macro mode last weekend. As it was 3am I had to rely on the flash, so I'm calling this a work in progress:

Dvarw DL (surprise, surprise) 2.5mm id, unevenly wrapped 30*2/40 ni80

But!!! It almost looks like a real coil

The biggest differences I get when I switch the z80 from using wattage mode to F0 mode, is more ooomph (technical term). I have to drop down the wattage a tad and I find it's a more saturated vape. I've also noticed when switching around with the frequencies, it can change the vapour density too.

Makes sense for sure and the main thing is that it works. I'll be buying a Z80 soon.

Interesting stuff Ange. Innokin are a serious company with good products - looking forward to trying F0.

Yes... completely agree. More dense vapour and more saturated flavour. You need to be careful with your wattage though...if it's too high it starts tasting funky.

 

[Fredman1]

saturated flavour

I see this term used from time to time, but haven't as yet been lucky enough to notice a saturation of flavor. My buds are fried some, but i'm having a few stiff brandies to compensate for it as we speak. I'll muster my newly found strength soon and see what my rejuvenated buds can detect....

Z80s ain't Shinyites...it's a Thing

Good morning shinies

Nearly hit the button on a DNA Delro yesterday...still vacillating on whether to or not....maybe the price will drop...maybe it won't ... decisions, decisions!!
.
Have a fantastic day all

Seriously though...I don't know how that would apply to NET'S!

Oh boy don't get me started Charlie. I so wish I was blessed (linguistically) enough to properly describe the flavors variations and subtle nuances from the different tobacco mixtures. There's some people on the NET pages that can make a tobacco mouth water.
It's a world that i'm happily lost in atm...
It's a very far cry from cigarette smoking as we knew it. Variations of different Virginias, Burleys, Cavandishes, Latakia, Orientals, Perique etc. are used in soooo many combinations to provide soooo many different flavors.

smokey...sweet...spicy...cacao...woodsy...earthy...musty...dried fruit like raisin, plum, figs...peppery...brown sugar...caramel...chocolate...tangy...nutty...herbal...floral...honey...hay...citrus...bready
I'm just starting and i'm hooked already
