The ShockWave by Super-T Preorder Thread

[siouxsie]

Each ShockWave will be wrapped in 1.5 yards of bubble wrap, secured by 2 yards of packing tape. Even after we receive them it will be a week 'til we see them.

OMFG, thanks for that! LOL

David,

This is very important - if I drop my shockwave through a trap door into a pit filled with poisonous cobras while searching the ruins of an ancient Aztec temple, will there be any damage to the switch?

How did a pit in central Mexico get filled with non-indigenous cobras? I think quetzalcoatls will be your fear.
David, is the ShockWave Quetzalcoatl-proof?

Think he was going for an Indiana Jones joke, but didn't pay attention in geography and history classes....

I really hope so Ata, dropped my mechanical mod into the toilet during a Zoo visit a few days ago. Was pretty gross getting it out but all I had to do after was to take it apart , rinse it with soap and everything was A OK. As long as the SW can handle this without getting damaged I will be happy.

Hey, glad to see you. I need your approval to cut down some lollipop trees outside the sea monkey hut.

I'm sorry I'm such a party poop. My fantasies are always so ridiculously reality based.

Too late now. I think we already instigated Vap's wrath.

No need, it was funny, and funny is always good.

I know. Be prepared to get your eyeballs burnt out with Erik Estrada pin-ups.

This whole post was merely a ploy to catch some other nerd that knew cobras ain't from Mexico. Mission accomplished!

We have about 50 bodies and caps and switches all finish prepped now since we are still waiting on some of the small parts to be finished with the Rhodium plating. I just sent for a status update this morning and this was their reply: 1/11/13
FW: PO 7

Hi David,
These parts will be ready by Tuesday. I apologize for the delay, being that these were new to us we had to get them quoted and into the system. An XRF program also had to be made to read these parts. Next time these come to us we will be set to go on them right away. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you, Mandy
While waiting not so patientently for those parts to be done, we've pushed ahead with Prepping the bodies and caps, so it isn't lost time. I estimate if they are accurate in their estimate, we will begin shipping next week.

We must be getting close.................

I vape between 4-5 amps. +/- 20 watts range. Lets see if those soldered wires handle that like my other mechanicals. I ordered this under the impression that this mod can handle 10 amps at 10 mil cycles. Curious if it doesn't melt those wires.... A short on a genesis device can heat the whole mod up and you can feel it on the button, all you do is stop pressing the button and and fix that short. Things I forsee:

1. Wire melting and it wont fire anymore.
2. Wire melting in a way where that switch will not stop firing.

Switch is rated at 10 amps. David is not going to use a flimsy wire that won't handle 10 amps, after this long of a development and build time...wow.

This is hurting my brain, so could you tell me how you get that high using a mechanical mod with no boost? Every day I try to learn something. Thanks!

That's gotta be some extreme coil building, as it equates to less than one ohm...!!!

Yah, thought my ohms law calculator was broken. How could a person even stand that? .25 second puffs?
