morning, ces!

looks like it might be best to request another carto base - you'd think for that price connections would be checked before being sent out

Morning Catt

I put a ticket in last night Tibs. I think that all i need is another gold-plated screw that's just a smidge longer. but yeah, you would think that it would have been tested. I suspect they were in a hurry for the rollout at vapestock.

Ironic that this is the first PV that I've gotten that has had any problems at all.

 

[FranC]

Hope ya get that pv working CES.

Morning Catt.

The super-important thing CES is to make sure there's no shorts. Also, you're using good quality safe batteries in that yes? Is it well vented?

Seems pretty popular, a lot of people like it.

Good morning all.

 

[CES]

Oh, I'll get it working Fran

(i can't wait to see if someone suggests the "staple mod" )

 

[CES]

Good morning Atty

thanks again for sticking with me last night

It would vent through the bottom cap, and i have IMR 18490 batteries. The meter readings across the base of the tank went to "open" once it was all dry- so I'm fairly sure there is no short.

 

[AttyPops]

WT Heck is a staple mod?

 

[CES]

the staple mod is where you use a staple to make the connection between the carto post and the positive connector. Not something i have any intention of doing.

Must be very very slightly conductive juice. Did you see that video for filling it?

He said people mess up flooding the connector on the bottom when they fill it. Knowing your disdain for "long" (over 30 second) video...I'll summarize:

1) Put tank on PV...bottom + tank + carto screwed in.
2) Fill tank 3/4 full and top off carto by dripping inside it or whatever.
3) place top cap on top BUT DON'T push down yet. The air pressure of pushing the top down onto the tank would force juice into the connector. So:
4) With the top on "squarely"...turn it UPSIDE DOWN and let the air go to the connector, and let the juice run off the connector.
5) Push up/screw on such that the cap is secure.

Supposedly no juice in connector. Although I would guess minor miniscule amounts could get in.

The guy that tried the solder had a better idea. He just didn't know about solder. He had a cold joint and it broke off. Possibly-loose metal like a staple in a connector is ....not a good idea to me. But I'm picky. Then again, loose solder is not good either.

I did actually watch that video, and think i filled it properly. That was the easy part. No leaking at all. It didn't get messy until i had to take it apart cause it wouldn't fire (and of course I'll check it again this morning... cause when all else fails, leaving things alone for awhile and trying again sometimes magically fixes 'em )

 

[AttyPops]

Rules to keep CES safe with a mech mod:

1) Check it for a short EVERY TIME you connect something. Forever. Every time.
2) If it ever "doesn't work" when you press the button....don't keep pressing it. Check for shorts (or burnt-out dead carto).
3) Use good quality IMR batteries...like AW. (Panasonic makes certain highly-recommended hybrids too).

I have a busy morning. So...Hi all. Bye all.

 

[CES]

thanks Atty

1. connections- Check
2. connections again- check
3. AW IMRs- Check


Have a good day.

So, what's everyone else up to today?

morning, atty!


gotta finish my mesh packages - labels are printed and waiting on more payment. and so far nobody has rescheduled my dental appointment - it looks as if today is the day, finally!

 

[CES]

Finally Tibs... it's about time

 

[tiburonfirst]

yup - 2pm unless he gets another emergency!

 

[CES]

If he keeps rescheduling you, you'll end up as the emergency...

fingers crossed that you get it done today

 

[tiburonfirst]

fingers crossed here too! at 2 pm they are just coming back from lunch so chances are decent!

but i told the boy with my luck somebody is gonna fall flat on their face right around that time!
