That didn't make much sense, did it? I have the jitters today - we're having a massive wind storm right now, and I'm hoping the roof doesn't come off.

~Lannie
We are having a pretty nasty storm as well. The top of one of the neighbors trees just fell off, I heard a massive cracking and a crash, I'm glad it didn't land on anything important

Edit

And we just lost power,,,

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about all this math.

Start by finding an rta that you like, put a coil in it and see how it works.

The missing piece is in blue

Ok back to typing on a phone...

D = diameter
r = radius
h = height (or width)
W = watts

coil inside D + 1 wire D = cylinder D

1/2 cylinder D = r

wire D • number of wraps = cylinder h

Surface area formula (Area
= 2πrh)

W/Area = heat flux in watt per area.

Oh! OK, I get it. Duh, that makes sense. ID plus wire diameter is the OD of the coil. Easy peasy. :)

I'm NOT gonna worry too much about the math, because as I've been reading this thread and all the answers you guys are giving me, I'm thinking this is just like most everything else I do. If it works, it's right. If there's any "hard math" I'll make Rich 'splain it to me. He knows how math stuff gives me a rash, but if he explains it in simpler terms, without the equation, once, then I get it. Then, I can look at an equation and it makes sense. It's just all those little letters that make my brain lock up in a reflex action. I had a bad experience in calculus class back in high school. That's my excuse! ;) Eventually, I'm going to have to get into that, though, because at some point, I want to know I can use a mech mod. I might still use the regulateds for the rest of my life, but I want to know I can do it, and have one or two for "just in case" times.

I'm glad your house is built well. I wish OURS was! So far, so good here. The big elm tree that I worry most about is still in one piece, and the wind SHOULD have peaked by now, so hopefully we won't fare too badly. Still need to go check the property, though, for limbs or other trees down. But not today while it's still blowing so bad. Even if something fell across a fence, the critters won't leave because they know who feeds them. :D

I need a flux capacitor to automagically adjust my heat flux.

I am unsure of the best cillifarad value to use though.

I'm sure there must be a calculator for that SOMEWHERE! Have you checked with Doc Brown? ;)

Well guys, everyone knows Mod womping takes a good bit of juice and doing it DIY saves us a lot. With that in mind, this is what I ran across today to add to my mixing arsenal.

Found this at wally world and it will hold 2 cups or 470 ml. Whats great about it is the amount it will hold and the cap can come off and a frother can be used to get the steeping process sped up. Tonight I put it on my scale and able to add everything I needed for the cutwood unicorn milk clone, then froth it and into the UC with some hot water.

@TrollDragon Make sure to snap a shot of the Squape R and Snapdragon build! :)
It was getting late and I did get a pic or two but wasn't happy with them. The Squape Rs took me almost an hour to get the W deck out without marring it to give the atty a good cleaning. Buildwise I put an 8 wrap 26g 2.5mm coil in, pulled the Rayon through and cut it off flush with the end of the juice channel. Juiced the coil and wick, filled the tank and vaped... The ball bearing click stop on mine doesn't really work that well, I left it wide open and the flavor is not too bad at all with lots of airflow on the biggest hole.

I can see it being a daily driver for sure!

The Snapdragon is a whole different story...

If you ordered the Snapdragon from 3F then see if you can Cancel it.

I spent an few hours playing with mine just to get is usable last night. You might want to try the SS316 one from FT instead.

The 510 cap, airflow ring and positive post screw are very similar in operation to the Rose V2. There is an insulator on the bottom of the deck that has a hole for the positive post screw and a divot for the negative post screw so it won't short.

Here is a picture from FC's version.
sku_30652_6.jpg

The bottom cap is left hand threaded onto the base, you only have about 3 threads to use on the base so it does not easily stay tight. There is no stick tool like the Rose has to tighten it up properly. The black bowtie thing is the insulator which goes over the screws, positive post screw sticks through the hole and touches the 510 plate (exactly like the Rose's 510 plate).

Here is the issue.
The bowtie has those 90 degree cutouts for the two air holes and it lines up perfectly when installed over the screws, it does not stay in the bottom cap. When you screw the bottom cap on, the three air holes for each side will not line up in the middle of the cutouts and you can end up with 2 holes blocked by the end of the bowtie. The height of the positive post screw dictates where the base stops turning and where the holes will come to a rest, the postive post screw is NOT adjustable. I had managed to get mine centered in relation to the deck air hole last night by cutting circles of paper the same size as the 510 plate with a center hole and using them as shims. It worked until I found that the both posts were not tight enough and turned while I was tightening down the grub screw on a Clapton coil I had made for it.

Off with the bottom cap, put the hex wrench on the coil screw and tighten the positive post screw. Good now all nice and tight I replaced the bottom cap and my holes were out of align with one hole blocked by the bowtie. I had shortened the distance of the positive post screw and now the bottom cap would turn a little bit further.

Too late at that point and I didn't fix it, I put the atty back on the Sigelei Mini 30W and it showed Atomizer Short... :facepalm:

Looking into the deck I could see the positive post had moved to the side enough to touch the deck itself. They made the insulator for the positive post flush with the deck instead of a .5mm taller and the screw has some play through that insulator. Off with the bottom to adjust the post and positive screw again. With it lined up enough not to short I wasn't worried about the airflow holes again. :glare:

The airflow ring doesn't really line up with the horizontal center of the holes and it leaves a gap as it is a hair too narrow for the space between the bottom cap and the deck edge. That is just a nit pick and not a problem.

So there is some tinkering involved to get this nice and tight and working. Major tinkering if you have any OCD like I do. ;)

That Clapton was too hot (not enough airflow) so I took it out and put in a dual 26g 0.4 ohm build. The vape is nice the flavor is good, nothing spectacular though. It can get a little warm with the stubby DT and the cap has a smaller hole so not all DT's will fit.

I am going to:
1. Cut a small washer from a PTFE juice bottle to use as a positive post to deck insulator. A wrap or to of something on the positive post threads to take up the slack through the deck insulator.
2. Find the correct height with shims under the positive post screw, or the 510 plate so the bottom cap air holes
will line up centered on the deck's airhole.
3. Or cut the corners off of the bottom insulator turning it into a rectangle with a hole instead of a bowtie. That might actually be the easiest fix but my OCD will not like the air holes not centered, even though they are working perfectly.

For $16 I really cant complain and a little modding of a clone atty is par for the course.

Congrats @Lannie on your eVic VTC Mini Win!!
:toast:

Thanks! I'm totally in shock! :eek: I'd given up on that a while ago, when they changed the rules in the middle. WHOOPEEE! My first mod win! :banana: Happy *almost* birthday to me!!!!!!! :D
