i have a quick maybe dumb question re your comment on 70-80 watt range you use, if using a variable voltage 12.6v 10amp with my flix2 what voltage would i have to set it to to be at 70 watts? no electrical background here...
thanks
Mr C,
Just curious if you know why some of the heaters like mine #22 14mm (to hot for me) converted to 15mm (perfect) work flawlessly and others are failing (knock on wood that asking this doesn't jinx my unit :huh:)
i use the lg hg2s as well. This combo with the 14 mm ran very hot for me no wiggle room and often resulted in charring and uneven heating or combusting.
after MrC swapped out the coil for the 15mm it has been PERFECT! Heats quick, get separation of clicks and usually get 3-4 heat cycles to...
I have the LG hg2s as well. Are they considered high discharge at 20a?
Received my 15mm swapped FD and testing now definitely more forgiving, as 14mm was crushingly hot, 15mm I am still pulling on 1st click but working well, no charring.
Now I'm wondering if the big difference is the 20a...
Ok here goes was going to wait to compare 14 and 15mms but will give you my experience so far.
Have been using my Omni for about a year so pretty comfortable with it, after 1st week never combusted usually clear in 3 to 4 hits (2/3rds bowl pretty dark abv).
Received my FD 14mm with topside...
Can only reiterate what traveler said...
so sleek and solid, couldn't be happier, it really is a game changer (my 1st IH so excuse the enthusiasm).
only 2 caps (4 heat cycles each) so far. Super fast and efficient. The click is a bit muffled but there is a slight tactile movement when it...
My FD arrived this AM too! #42 is Charging at moment so wont be able to test drive until later tonight. Packaging, form and finish all top notch :tup:. More to follow once i take it for a spin.
Well not exact but I believe I am between numbers 10 to 13 of 2nd batch
When put on list on 11/29 was ~40th, received email mail to confirm options on 12/29 , so attrition must have moved me up the line a bit.
Arrives in 2 days!
Hope that helps
I did but and was invoiced this AM as well, so will let you know. I just figured with 14mm may want to adj more often and seems like not having to remove batteries each time was the way to go.
Lol above posts also paid before getting out of bed .... Obsessed much. Mr C look what you have...
well if i don't heat the cap aggressively single (single flame closer to middle or tip and stop right at click) can get up to 6-9 cycles with one bowl). if i use triple flame near base and less cool down time (my prefered way) cap is cleared in 2-3 cycles) first hit decent, 2nd huge hit, 3rd...
on a past post i think i recall you saying that nothing made the FD work harder than the 14mm with the potentiameter set to the lowest. im just curious as to why that is? intuitively i would have thought that lower power equated to less work. Also, has anyone tested to see how much adjusting...
well i got on list 11/29, at that time i was ~40th. i recieved email last week and am in this batch (14mm) waiting for topside potentiometer. hopefully this week :tup:, if that helps you at all.
and to MR C Thanks you for all your tremendous efforts and attention to detail, safety, and...
