Velocity stacks for your VAPE?!

[SteamWhistle]

So I get really bored sometimes. I got to thinking about fluid dynamics a bit and I figured why not put velocity stacks on the side of a rda? The goal is to smooth out the airflow entering the chamber and also concentrate more velocity on to the coils. I've noticed a small difference so far after just a few puffs. Will update after more extended use.

Surprised there isn't more replies. Either way UPDATE. After using this setup for a bit now I haven't gotten any burnt taste (.3ohm) even with the smaller air holes so it seems as if the velocity effect is working as intended. Draw seems smoother (less turbulent). Vapor production and flavor I can't really tell because I have no way of measuring that besides what I see in front of me. And even at .3ohm you should be producing a sufficient amount of vapor with turbulent air or not.

I love this!

Ok now that I can actually post in this forum. I didn't have much discussion in the newbie section

sounds interesting, does it whistle?

It actually whistled before this mod. Now it's smooth and quiet

what exactly does it look like on the inside?

what if...
you manage to bend 90 degrees those stacks and put them on the inside as opposed to what you have and place your coil above them.
you should still have your focused air plus more flavor because of the position and a completely leak free rda!!!!

Like this? This would require a blank cap so you could drill holes higher. Also would have to be very careful to avoid the positive contact and wire.

actually the other way the vertical going up but yes

So like this? There isn't much room to work on the top of the cap. But if you did it just right it would work.

something more like this

you'll need to put the topcap at an angle then rotate it 45 degrees so you manage to not hit the coils or posts while inserting it

Seems like that way would be effective but a giant pita trying to line things up and not rip out your wick or cotton

 

[vapero]

with some markings on the base as well as in the cap it should be relatively easy.

we are just throwing ideas that doesn't mean they are practical!

Cool thread. I'm just happy when my Genesis RSST produces a vape that doesn't have a metal mesh aftertaste.

I'm thinking angular mounting that would produce a vortex inside the cap. Just kidding!

I encourage innovation. I hope people start experimenting so I'm not the only one posting results.

Actually a vortex would be nice assuming there wasn't a negative pressure zone above the coils.

I think they mean in then 90 bend going up...you wouled have to put cap on then twist it to get it under the coil.

 

[vapero]

on a simpler experiment why dont you put your stacks exactly as you have but on the inside rather than outside, it would create the same effect and get a leak free dripper if they are too long just rotate the cap until they are in the right place
