Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[sawlight]

I've tinkered with the Arduino and Ti's Launch Pad for a bit, I also have a few STM32's, a Renesas RX62N and a Stellaris LM3S9B92 evalbot. The STM & Renesas boards were too far above my skill set and I got tired of the crippled IDE's.

Got any links on the PWM stuff, I have not picked up any samples from Ti in a long time...

No hablo espaniol.

I saw that one as well, but couldn't see any way to make it a single coil without issues? Are you running dual or singles? I'm learning all this new fangled stuff, so please bear with me!

All I've ever built really is the single coils and they don't give me any issues. I think I built the Serpent mini with 26G SS 316L wire, 8 wraps that gave me 0.45 ohms. In the Serpent I'm vaping it at only 22 watts. The deck on this tank is large and the only issue is getting the screw to press in the wire to grip it, because it's not a hole, it's just an open space. But...don't be discouraged, once you 'get it' then it's not a problem for future builds. I just like this tank because it's so small and nice looking. Gonna get a black one soon. Good luck!

For those who have not seen this here is a link for a advicacy video by Pbusardo and The Vaping Greek. Something they talked about really upset me. They got real about some very important issues and I think that everyone should watch it as it effects us all.



This part is really troubling.....

The FDA spent 2.7 million dollars last year to infiltrate the electronic cigarette social media. With the intention of finding ways to stop the black market that is likely to happen. This information came from Mitch Zeller who works for the FDA. They are already here, for all you know it could be me or it could be you or someone you have become online friends with here and other forums. They can and will come after DIY'ers, modders and living room ecig suppliers.

It really has me upset I cannot express how much so. All that can please watch the video and lets all do what we can to change the final rule in anyway we can.

This seriously sucks

There is a small group of guys on Open PV that have posted info on them and here are some links that I have saved. I try and stay away from the FB Groups but there is a TON of info to be had there also.

I'll have a look, Thanks!

I just got my Wotofo Serpent Mini from FT and am ordering more...this is the smallest and best looking and easiest to build tank atty I've ever tried. And it gives a powerful dream vape. I am a happy camper!

With the FDA Dooming Regulations I figure it's time to check out rebuilding...

When I searched for Wotofo Serpent Mini a number of sites listed: "Extremely easy to build"...

For someone who's never rebuilt a coil...what, exactly, does that mean/imply???

My guess is that "trapping the wires" or putting the ends of your coil into the positive and negative posts is easy to do, and centering your coil over the air flow is easy as well.

anyone?

Sounds right up my alley

 

[sawlight]

As I recall, it has notches cut under the screws to capture the wire and hold it while you tighten the screws down.

Well, you just wrap a coil and trap each coil leg in the posts to the left and right and that's all there is to it. If you watch a simple rebuild on YouTube you'll see what I mean. It involves no soldering or twisting wires together, or making more than one coil, that sort of thing.

Just do a Search on YouTube for..."Simple single coil rebuild"

Not in a tootling mood, vape mail day

Favorite mech to date. Sub Ohm Innovations Copper shorty with a TRUE Hybrid Subzero 24mm RDA

 

[rhelton]

I was sent some ceramic wicks a week or two ago and been playing around with em a little. This is probably my best build so far and its working quite well. The ceramic holds heat long after you let go of the button it seems. The flavor is clean, vapor production is not as fast as cotton is, but is enjoyable in its own way.

That is a great looking setup. Does that atty have buckets of air only or can you adjust it down to something more restricted?

And no hot spots! Nice! I keep thinking about digging out a genny, then I grab my Pico and think better of my time! Does that make me a bad person?

No not at all I have not picked this one up in a long minute

I did not dry fire this one seeing its ceramic. No hot spots but its a bit darker now lol.

 

[ccwaters]

It has six of those slots all the way around the base, once it is tightened into the mech you can turn the barrel anywhere from wide open to shut down completely. Includes a large grub you can screw into the deck to close off one side for single coil. Also included in the package is a 510 adapter base, the chuff top cap, and a 510 top cap.

This and the Aeronaut are my current favorites

 

[sawlight]

Now that sucker has a 510 pin on it! Is the chamber too large for a single coil, or is it still decent flavor?

 

[ccwaters]

I honestly haven't tried single coil yet, but I don't think it would be bad. Just got it this morning, so haven't even tried any other coils in it yet. That copper pad on the base goes directly to the battery, no 510 connector when using it with the Subzero mech mod. The picture directly above it has the 510 adapter screwed onto the base. They also have a 22mm version which I have but it is not hybrid capable, overall I like this 24mm much better then the 22mm.

Chamber actually isn't all that large once it is filled with the build deck.

What are these?

I'm going through my vape gear and I found things I didn't know I had.

I have a Svoe Mesto Kayfun 4 that I have no recollection of buying. I can read up on it some day, I guess.

But I have two (identical) of these mystery toppers. If anyone recognizes them, please tell me what they are:

Thanks.

Jay

IGO-L drippers, I believe, they are IGO's for sure, not positive on the designation letter. I've got one around here as well.
Decent dripper, about $6ea on Fasttech.
