What are you doing right now, (keep it clean)

[shannannagans]

solely for the purpose of stalking the mail man, i just installed a vista / win 7 sidebar gadget for package tracking. By default it checks tracking info every 20 minutes. I keep waiting for movement on my ela tracking, and i figured this was easier / slightly less disappointing than f5-ing the stamps.com tracking info page every few minutes.

Also, shanna, that side of your face is pretty. I bet i know why you only show half your face, though.

re: Adventure time discussion: There's another pendleton ward creation called bravest warriors that's well worth checking out.

you caught me!

I thought so. Are you an evil cyborg sent back in time to destroy capitalization? When you quoted my reply you squashed all the capital letters not beginning sentences, even within the hyperlinks and img tag. That's the most sinister thing I've seen all day.

What do you teach?

I can't tell you that, obviously, but yes.

Waiting on a rebuildable atomizer by Super T to be available. Not to large in diameter I hope.

Just a friendly reminder that this is a Super-T thread, and that it is mainly for fun, but as it is on Super -t we should keep it related and as a courtesy to Super-T. Atomizers are open as they dont make atomizers, Yet

 

[anavidfan]

well, heck , I hope I didnt come off as a "buzz killington"
Right now Im feeling that way.

 

[Killjoy1]

You're a total killjoy, ana

 

[icucme2]

So just thought of another way to help us keep our mind off the "waiting"

Share anything, but be logical and courteous to Super-T regarding other brands of PVs. I dont think its naughty to say or mention others , but lets not start " selling " others away from Super-T that are looking for a Precise item.

SO what am I doing right now? Well usually I take out my kanthal and nickel and twist them for use on my Odys, but since I was really anxious this week, I made about 20? already to add to my now total of about 40? ( maybe more ) I polished my ELA. I polished my Odysseus. Im browsing the internet for things Id like, but dont need and watching one of my favorite most hated shows; Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. I dont know why I watch it. Those guys are really fun to make fun of. I also enjoy seeing the places they travel to and someday hope to see.

Id love to go on some non-douchy trips to places dark and haunted.

Cool thread Anavidfan , i have a Term-C just sitting here.. I tinkered with her only once, but didnt get the vape i hoped for. I since took her apart and cleaned it.

My big set back is the Nr w R wires.. I have silver nr & nickel nr., i have yet to try with the nickel, but i did try w the silver and wow it was slippery to try to work with.. I watched a utube vid on it and well, i ended up with a big knot instead of a nice near seamless nr & r connection..

I read u saying u did 20, u make it sound so easy lol.. But maybe it is.. Just not for me yet... Do u have any tips? (Maybe u did a utube tutorial

I also get confused on how long to cut the resistance wire, trying to make it perfect for the lenght of coils needed

 

[anavidfan]

I use my leatherman to twist the wires while I hold the 2 wires tightly with my left hand. I first grab the ends and twist, then use the leatherman to get a tighter grip. It takes practice. I get some really tiny twists, which really entails my wrapping the nickel around the kanthal. I use a large magnifying lighted stand which helps a LOT.

I can get a nice joined area of about 3mm. I use 32 Kanthal and 34 nickel which I like so much better than sterling, like you said, its slippery and breaks easy. I will try to take some photos. I dont know how I would go about doing a video , but will see if my son can help.

I cut my kanthal at 1.75" which is right at about 2.0-2.2, a little less I get about 1.8 and on depending on your liking.

I got this from the sticky in the rebuildable atomizer section:

At the temperatures we vape at, there should be no metallic vapors given off by these wires due to heat.
It has been stated by a number of ECF members that Kanthal (A-1) gives a cleaner tasting vape than Nichrome and that Kanthal (A-1) is a stronger more robust wire than Nichrome.
With either material, a thicker wire (smaller awg #) will, most likely, have a longer lifespan than a thinner wire.
=======================

Resistance in Ohms/inch for the Resistance Wires

Kanthal Grade----- A-1 ------ A -------- D ----- Nichrome 60 -------- Nichrome 80

30 awg (Ω/in)----- 0.7 ------ 0.7 ------ 0.7 -------- 0.6 -------- -------- 0.5
31 awg (Ω/in)----- 0.9 ------ 0.9 ------ 0.8
32 awg (Ω/in)----- 1.2 ------ 1.1 ------ 1.1 -------- 0.9 -------- -------- 0.9
33 awg (Ω/in)----- 1.4 ------ 1.4 ------ 1.3
34 awg (Ω/in)----- 1.8 ------ 1.8 ------ 1.7 -------- 1.4 -------- -------- 1.4
35 awg (Ω/in)----- 2.3 ------ 2.2 ------ 2.1
36 awg (Ω/in)----- 2.9 ------ 2.8 ------ 2.7 -------- 2.3 -------- -------- 2.1

Spreadsheet calculations for the resistances

ETA: These ohms/inch numbers are a close average. Due to small variations in wiire thickness, if you cut a one inch piece of wire, the resistance may be +/- 0.1 or so ohms from the numbers in the table above.

Always measure the resistance of a new coil set-up with a multimeter before attaching it to your battery.

I also get confused on how long to cut the resistance wire, trying to make it perfect for the lenght of coils needed

The best thing to do is to know what the resistance is of the wire you're using. I'm currently using Nichrome 60, which has a resistance of 0.6 ohms per inch. I currently vape around 0.8 ohms so I need just a tad over 1 1/4". I'll cut around a 2 1/2" piece of wire and then make the first connection. I'll measure the R wire at the joint and then make a bend just past the 1 1/4" mark. The bend is where I will make the next connection with NR wire. After factoring in the small amount of R wire that is twisted with the NR wire, my resistance almost always comes out at 0.8 ohms.

EDIT: ^^ ana beat me to it ^^

Anavidfan - wow thanks a bunch.. I took screen shots for me to save of ur help..

 

[icucme2]

Thanks Path77 also.. Makes more sense now.. I shall try to conquer tomorrow

 

[rojo]

Icu, I made a tutorial in another thread that might help you. Have a look and see what you think.

Well if you really want the truth I'm going through all the suppliers post trying desperately to win my first mod being that my ego batts really suck anymore. So at least I'm trying to be honest here. So there you go everyone,that's what I'm doing Lol eagle

 

[icucme2]

rojo (typing ur screen name make me want to drive to the 7-11 and pick up some delish rojo chocalates yum)
Thanks for tue heads up, i'll check it out now

 

[OnTheFidele]

Yep, my Leatherman is also my go-to vape tool! Which model is your everyday?

I use my leatherman to twist the wires while I hold the 2 wires tightly with my left hand.

[anavidfan]

I only have one and its the PST-II, Love it , was one of my boyfriends gifts. I really love the skeleton Leatherman, been contemplating getting myself one, but hate for him to think I dont love the one he gave me.
