Snails - Response on Threads Part 4

Hiya,Tib

P.S. Others have made a "wire welder" for spot welding NR wire with kanthal. I don't recommend that unless you're real sure you know what you are doing...just buy the NR/R wire. Or use the doubled-over method.

You put your camera in strange places.

well - it's not in its usual place even though the memory stick is ................... sigh

Bear is going to have a field day with both of those statements when/if he reads them.

Hi Fran and Tibs.

 

[Katya]

Both techniques require more skill and attention than "just plain coil" methods. Mostly, I've not had issues with burnt insulators unless I over powered stuff...cloud chasers should not be using stuff with rubber grommets.

You can say that again, Atty!

TY

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

That I don't believe.

However, the general rule is...meh...on the grommets. Don't over-watt them.

P.P.S.

I've started to "just buy" coils. The Evod coils are about $10.00 for 5 coils and each coil lasts me at least 3 weeks. I keep the old parts around for emergency re-coiling should the zombie apocalypse hit. But it's just so much easier to buy em. Got tired of re-coiling.

Now for heavy duty mods with RBA's and heavy wire (like 28 ga)...well, they last forever...just clean em. So they can last for months each.

TY, Atty, You're too kind. I know some stuff theoretically, but I never rebuilt anything-yet. But I'm tempted.

I figured that much. I think I'll just try a 32g kanthal and see what happens. I have a few old coils saved in my vaping "you-never-know" box.

And now I'm gone! You guys are the best!

And I was just getting excited.

so much for that!

 

[Katya]

Atty, the main reason I'm thinking about rebuilding is performance, not so much savings. I've been reading about Nature Vape coils, they look good, but are very expensive and can only be bought on the other side of the pond, which makes them even more expensive for us.

But then I thought--I can make a coil like that myself...

And now I'm really outta here!

Night Snails!

 

[Katya]

so much for that!

Not quite!

 

[tiburonfirst]

Not quite!

well - in that case i stick some kanthal in your xmas card!

 

[AttyPops]

I'm outta here too.

Goodnight snails.

 

[tiburonfirst]

and as usual i follow along!

goodnight and sweet dreams

 

[FranC]

Sweet dreams,Tib

 

[FranC]

Goodnight,Atty

hi and bye, tweety!

we got the first brother in already from florida and heat in mil's not working - was on the phone all afternoon

seems everybody's busy already preparing for thanksgiving - mighty quiet in here

and it looks like an indictment in ferguson - i don't believe they would be stupid enough to schedule the announcement for 9pm if it were otherwise

You underestimated their stupidity.

No Indictment.
Let's see what happens next.
