I made one of mine based on this guide and it turned out surprisingly well. I even used thin wooden skewers instead of dowels because that’s what I had on hand, then wrapped it in paracord.
Both lite kits (Omega and Zeal) are currently sold out. iDB mentioned on Discord that he’s had a massive influx of orders recently but powering through them as fast as possible. I imagine things will be restocked once those outstanding orders have been filled.
Followed the instructions in the XMT-7100 manual (seems to apply to multiple PIDs, though do proceed with caution as I’m no expert and I like to break things).
It’s the Sun contraption from KoilBoi, but the PID itself is a Golander GL101. I haven’t changed the settings on that one, just noticed they were different after trying the coil in each PID.
Does anyone know if there’s a particular reason the PID in the SS Zeal kit has the sensor type set to K thermocouple by default? If I change it to J (which is how my other PID came) I’m able to get better results from much lower temps… I think the two types are interchangeable in this scenario...
Came here just to share this scoop as a recent find, but had no idea it was made by one of us! @eory1993 thanks for the quick reply to my question on Amazon about it being magnetic :tup:
To anyone looking for a new water piece to complement their TM2, I highly suggest this GRAV Upline clone off DHGate (or the real thing if you’re less patient). It has a fairly tight pull and milks up quick. Not to mention it’s the sturdiest piece of China glass I’ve ever seen.
Shout out to @farmerpalmersnt for the DIY Octotaster + pearls idea posted 10 or so pages back. It was surprisingly easy with a torch and a poker, not to mention cheap!
