    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Jeez! Yet more 'pest porn! I'm gunna go blind at this rate! There's hairs on my palms already! 😲 Just curious, but what temp setting are you using, and is that up to the flashing light ending, or all the way to the time-out on the Wand?

    Well definitely beyond mine! 100% 🤣

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Thanks, good link. Is there any difference in the different types of protection according to the devices electrical load? What defines which method of protection is suitable for a particular device?

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Experimentation is always the way! It'll be interesting to see how that pans out. On the thickness thing, now you mention it (sculpting tools etc) I remember seeing vids of IH coils turning scalpel tips red hot in seconds, and that's not a lot of metal in the field. Also, I guess if the foil has...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    I know dick about electronics, so probably just making a fool of myself here, but I presume the socket on the right is the mains socket? Isn't that yellow/green wire coming off it to the coil socket, the earth? Are you sure the casing isn't being used as part of the circuit? I'm sure I'm wrong...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Soon enough, but far far too long away! 😄 [Ed] Sorry, it was hoped to be late March, but looking more like another month, and won't happen until it's all done and ready, so it's a bit of a waiting game, but keep an eye out here and/or on the MH website, and I'm sure you'll pick up the news when...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Yeah, this makes much sense! Having a range of sizes and materials to actually try, is I think going to give much better results than trying to calculate it all based on physics, it's far to many variables to be worth it (for mere mortals, anyway!). But brains are really good at spotting...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Have to come back to that later - working now so can't take the time to read properly, but cool stuff! Yeah, I found that! And I realised that it's quite liberating, and I think more important with the very low heat capacity of a normal DV, where a tiny bit too much or too little heat can spoil...

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    If I had to guess, I'd judge the rubies have lower conduction to capacity ratio? So it takes more heat, but that heat can't spread through them so quickly? But on the other side, they'll hold more heat for longer, but (depending on number, size and shape) release that heat slower - so maybe...

    So sorry, misunderstood you! 😊

    The Tempest by Mad Heaters & Phatpiggie

    Thanks, I appreciate the offer (you may regret saying that one day! 🤣), though I am very much more stuck in my mind these days, and have few resources to play with real ideas and make things, so I tend to live internally much more, and construct things in my mind instead. Also, I get bored very...

    Ball vape with ss balls and induction heating

    Sounds interesting, but isn't there going to be a risk of the foil melting if it's too thin? Also, I don't believe the eddy currents tend to penetrate through the outer layers, so maybe your steel tube idea would work better? Or possibly a steel spiral coil instead of a tube? But I don't know if...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    Can't say I agree with that (though the support bit - 100%!), but then it's a personal thing, I find they behave quite differently, and while it's a luxury having both, I have no intention of putting either one in the dreaded 'drawer of vape-death'! Also finding lots of different ways to play...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    Er, hate to say it, but that 'Wand insert' is for unscrewing the heater when hot! It's not an adapter! PP came on to dispel that misconception! I'm finding I'm giving it a to-the-timeout run on the wand, then finishing it off with a torch (only using a small pocket jet lighter). I'm using the...

    vaping using vap cotton

    Yeah, Cellucotton was what I was mostly searching on, and which I ordered from Creme de Vape. Also saw on Amazon, but at considerably higher cost. Hadn't heard of Viscose, guess that's the registered trademark?

    Wow! That's a lot of fancy technology there! I've just burnt out google looking at what DLC and PVD are (once I realised PVD wasn't related to retinal detachment! 😉). Thanks for the info!

    vaping using vap cotton

    try: https://www.cremedevape.com UK distributors so no overseas postage. Also, the rayon was only a quid!!!! I felt I couldn't just get that and pay 2.5 times that in postage, so added a cheap pack of cotton too for about £3. With post and vat it came to £6.45, so not bank-busting! I only chose...

    Thermal Accumulator by phattpiggie

    Sorry, nothing to measure with to hand, but the fins are really more slots cut into the outer lower part of bowl assembly, I think they are as wide as the bowl. The fitting into the stem is a 'standard' 8mm fitting, should be the same as any DV compatible item I believe.

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Doh! i feel so stoopid now! 🤣 Ta! Just thinking then on what you meant (ignoring my long BS above) about decarb and not altering the profile (so it still has essentially the same properties? Yes?). First off you have to differentiate between whether you intend vaping or smoking it (inhalation...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I wouldn't know what a 'disty dart' is if it hit me in the arse! Google seems to agree, and insists it's a pub game (though that is the .co.uk version! Us rosbifs tend to be a little backward y'know! 😉). Not quite sure how this relates? I was only talking about manufactured products on the...
