Selling: Scarab/ Scarabaeus mod by Taifun Germany

Condition: Fair

Known flaws: Minor dent/ scuff on top beauty ring. Other than that its beautiful, my lenses and camera does show off the surface scuff and signs of use much more exaggerated.

Description:
Taifuns original Scarab- Scarabaeus Modular semi mech mod. Comes with extra red anodized beauty ring . 316 Stainless steel , it can be used with 18350 , 18500 and 18650 batteries. It performs wonderfully.

There is an on/ off switch in perfect working order , it has a little light ; green when in use and battery is good and it turns red when battery gets low or time to change. I have only seen it turn red once.

It is much more beautiful in person and like I said , the minor scuffs are much more exaggerated in photos. It has an extension part for 18650 batteries and there is an screw on extension for 18500 and up. If you want to use it in short mode you just screw on bottom cap without the extensions. It hits really , really well for a modulated device.

This is my extra one, I hate to sell it , as its really really rare in the US and its hard to find any Europeans/ Germans that will ship to US.

Its is 23mm in diameter and the Scarab etching makes it so unique.
It has a circuit board inside, and its supposed to be maintenance free. I have kept it clean and free of debris.

Original Tin Box and authenticity card.

Willing to ship to: CONUS Only

I reside in: US

Here is the technical info from site

Data and Functions:

- Accumulator, unregulated (without control electronics)

- Outside diameter: 23 mm, inside diameter: 19 mm

- Material: stainless steel (1.4301)

- Total length: 18650 - 94mm, 18500 - 78mm, 18350 - 64mm

- Fire button: maintenance-free E-button (only controls the current flow)

- Operation with: 1x 18650, 18500 or 18350 Li-Ion battery with or without Nuppel

- LED in the button: lights up green when "firing", faded at approx. 3 volts when the battery voltage is low

Lights red when polarity reversal, additional vibration alarm

- detachable Cone, 22mm Cone available as accessory

- Positive pole: rigid, not spring loaded

- Contacts: gold plated



Battery recommendation: please use (with protective electronics) Li-Ion batteries



This accumulator is distinguished by its simple technical design, which, however, eliminates the usual disadvantages of a mechanical start-up button, such as relatively high on-load resistance and increased wear at large currents.



The scarab button switches only a control signal for an "output stage" with a resistance of less than 0.002Ω.

As a result, this accumulator can switch currents up to 30 A. Use only protected batteries (see safety instructions)!

High currents (> 10A), however, require EVERY battery extremely (observe the safety regulations of the battery manufacturer).

The contacts and the internal resistance of the battery (poor quality or end of life) can then form a higher resistance than the winding, so that they also convert more power into heat (as with a short circuit)!

They measure a CLEAR lower voltage at the evaporator than at idle (without evaporator), even when the battery is full.

This voltage loss occurs at the ACKU internal resistance or at the contact points and NOT at the electronics (see voltage loss of the electronics in the specifications)!

If you insert the battery correctly (with the positive pole first) and the battery cap FEST (without force), you can activate the evaporator with the button.

Through an opening in the button, a green LED lights up more or less intensively depending on the battery level, until it fades at approx. 3V.

Attention: Another operation is possible! They may damage or destroy the battery (see the specifications of the battery manufacturer)!

If the LED does not light up, the battery is empty or defective, or there is a short circuit in the evaporator!

If the LED lights up red (additionally vibrating the battery carrier and maximum current flow to the evaporator), the battery is inserted in the wrong direction!

In this case, REMOVE THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY and insert it properly.

For short-term protection against unintentional switching on, pull the button slightly upwards and turn it counter-clockwise (to the left) until it locks! Correspondingly reversed during restart.

This is NOT ALTERNATIVE TO REMOVING THE BATTERY FROM THE DEVICE during prolonged non-use!

You have to consider the possibility of a defect or a malfunction and its consequences with every technical device!

Prevent any penetration of liquids through the probe!

Warning: This device does not take any notice of the winding resistance or internal resistance of the battery!

In case of non-observance of the instructions or ignorance of Ohm's law, this device can destroy the winding and / or the ACCUMULATOR IMMEDIATELY (especially with polarity reversal)!



Example calculations for winding resistors and the power range of a conventional battery:

Battery voltage (fully charged) with 4.2V; Winding with 1Ω
=> 4.2V / 1Ω = 4.2A => 4.2V * 4.2A = 17.6W

Battery voltage (discharge) with 3.0V; Winding with 1Ω
=> 3.0V / 1Ω = 3.0A => 3.0V * 3.0A = 9.0W

Use only protected batteries!



SPECIFICATIONS

Operation with ONE protected Li-Ion battery with flat (flat-top) or raised (button-top) positive pole.

Max. Operating voltage: 4.5V

Min. Winding resistance: 0.13Ω

Max. Permissible operating current: 30A - Danger to the battery

Max. Transient: 50A (70A) - Short circuit of the battery

Residual current: <0.1mA

Voltage loss (volt-drop) of the electronics without contact transition resistors and internal resistance of the battery:

Voltage loss @ 10A: approx. 0.02V

Voltage loss @ 20A: approx. 0.04V

Voltage loss @ 30A: approx. 0.07V





Attention : When using a KICK , the height of the winding resistor must be observed since the maximum voltage of 4.5 V is not to be exceeded!



For the calculation of the max. The following formula applies:



4.5 V to the square = 20.25 V² divided by the set power in watts results in the max. Winding resistance.



Examples:

10 watts: 20.25 volts: 10 watts = 2.02 ohms (max)

12 watts: 20.25 volts: 12 watts = 1.68 ohms (max)

15 watts: 20.25 volts: 15 watts = 1.35 ohms (max)
