So I'm really digging this new dog.
It really rocks with 13.8 volts pumping through it!
I don't think I'll be leaving it on unattended until I can tone it down a bit.
I want to try the new elfin analog/digital power supply, so I just asked Dave for a tattoo cord. I had this pyramid laying around and just got a 12v car cord in with something else and I did not need it, so I'm glad it fit the dog perfectly. I also have a few boxes of 12v wall warts and more 12v car plugs to hunt through so I'm sure that I have other stuff that will fit. I will look for a suitable wall wart, but between the above and the elfin I'm totally set for now.
This red rosewood twig hits hard with tiny loads out of the nylon stem @13.8v!
Out of the gate, it seems more efficient than anything that I've used this side of the sublimator, although I acknowledge that I have not tried certain screen mods yet with the ssv/lsv. And out of my old combustion bong, that has been adapted for 14mm and cleaned but evidently not rocksalted yet, with larger (but still small) loads it rips like a mule.
It's a little smaller than I thought it would be, I just love it aesthetically and ergonomically. It works well with the pinnacle wt, but as I learned last night with my shortened ascent adapter that's a recipe for disaster (at least the wt survived). I like using it upside down with a bigger piece better anyways. The load above came close to combusting, with this much voltage I am learning to use smaller loads that are more like 1-hitters. My working theory atm is this is because they're further away they seem to cook more evenly. I'm looking forward to refining my technique with this dog, because it's a keeper!
It's even smaller around on top than the base of the wt.
