LIS, I don't think it was about being OT, we can do that some, and he joins in the fun too once in awhile. Mine was more about being off colorYup! Do as I say not as I do! Can't have it both ways!
Yep off color fer sure. Making fun of a painful disability.newp, it wasn't so much about being OT as off color.
My power over you grows stronger yet...Music for today's test: Phantom of the Opera, Broadway recording
Balance it? I didn't know I was supposed to do that. On my finger? On my nose? Where is it supposed to balance? Oh, and also, who uses a checkbook anymore?Then how do you balance your Chech book?![]()
Since it is likely that many may not get it, that was a reference to a line from the Phantom of the Opera.Gee how appropriate.![]()
Those of us who still have a desire to be in control of our own money. Those who use automatic deductions have a possibility of losing everything because it is not in their control. Trust me, I know whereof I speak.who uses a checkbook anymore?
I guess one can not express their opinion. I in no way said anything out of line but expressed my opinion about a post that was made. Nice very nice!
OK @Boden (and anyone else who cares to comment), I got all my other stuff done for the night (I know, it is A.M. as I write this). Here's the basic premise:
What does an absolute newbie know about how a personal vaporizer works? Someone said you have a battery that heats a coil that vaporizes the e-juice and you suck in that "steam" like you used to suck smoke... What goes on in the newbie's mind? I suspect he relates to the known heating element in his house: the kitchen range. You put a pan of water on the stove and turn the knob to high, the element glows red, then in a few minutes the water starts to boil and makes steam. Now you can turn the knob to off, but the water still boils for a minute or so, and you cannot put your hand on that element for several minutes or you'll get burned even though it has been turned off. That big element takes a while to cool off. So with that picture in mind, I sketched (crudely) a VW-mode. You will note that I did not put any numbers on the graph because every mod (6-8W EVOD to 200W mega-cloud-maker) will have different numbers. My durations might appear distorted too, but I am attempting to show there is some lag (or unknown timing) between one thing and the other. Yes, it is extremely over-simplified, but I am not sure just how far I should make it absolutely accurate without confusing the newbie mentality.

The temperature control version might not even be needed for a newbie, and is even less accurate than "reality," but here's my shot in the dark anyway:

In both cases, the "suck time" to get maximum vapor from your unit is the intersection of the blue and red lines, not necessarily the length of time you hold down the fire button. Now maybe this applies only to Tootle Puffers and these graphs would be wrong for Cloud Chuckers (very high Watts, very low resistance), but I have no way of measuring any of this at the moment.
Your comments will be very much appreciated.

Um, "not to scale"?
And, while I can't figure out a way to phrase it that would actually fit in the graph, the TC one could maybe have a footnote that you don't have to pulse the button, the mod does that for you. I can visualize a noob trying to figure out the necessary rhythm!![]()
