    Discontinued G43 and SledGhammer

    so, 3.7v battery with 3000 mAh storage, is 11.1 watt-hours. So, an hour. Theoretically. A bit less since the voltage will drop as it discharges. Right?

    Cannabis' Immune properties

    @Victarion - have you looked into the Carnivore diet? it is supposed to fix autoimmune problems like allergies. only takes about 30 days to see an effect, if any.

    Cannabis' Immune properties

    lot to unpack there … thanks! i have only recently (last 1.5 years) taken to studying biochemistry. And i am blown away by the human body - what a machine! after 30 years of an Ornish-like low fat diet, i switched to lo carb, heathy fat diet and wow! it is much so better for my biology. At...

    there is a YouTube link in my signature: A session on YouTube it is from 2012 but the fundamentals are the same.

    @virtualpurple - thank-you for the good wishes and comments. actually, it isn't me (yet) but my spouse. Her trying to track down several ongoing issues resulted in a coronary artery calcium scan (CT, no contrast). hers is 895, mine is 10. here is a plug for "The Widowmaker" on YouTube or...

    Vape Carts Health Crisis Megathread

    but as much as 2 1/2 times? wow. pretty wasteful. i appreciate the term epicuticular wax - finally i have a search term. i have wanted to learn more about the cannabis plant waxes but searching has not been fruitful.

    so this was my February 2020: Just one cube, but at least that! It has the newest factory assembled pcb and it works just as expected and is trivial to program (or reprogram) the PIC because of the new 5 pin connector holes in the pcb. Yeah, oh man! I thought I would have the 20 new...

    Vape Carts Health Crisis Megathread

    this is my concern as well. when i do an ethanol extraction i get a 10% yield. however, the rosin press gives a 25%+ yield - i am assuming the additional yield is plant wax, from trichome bodies, etc. so i stick to flower.

    17 yr old with Depression

    @Adobewan I suggest looking at the Wim Hof (the "Iceman") videos on YouTube. There was a great Joe Rogan interview #712 with Win Hof. The Wim Hof Method is a breathing technique that can unleash (and direct) the endocrine system for better health, including curing depression. Not medicating...

    okay, 3A (more or less) is enough current to start eating the strands of a multi-strand power cable. As you see from my design i opted for the plug soldered directly onto the pcb (the PID heater temperature control). This is for robustness of the connection - never will have a loose solder...

    o … m … g … they're here!!!! here is the top of the board: and the bottom: and the header fits the holes at the top perfectly: so, i soldered a DEANS plug and a k-type thermocouple to the board, connected the header to the PICkit4 programmer, downloaded the program (download worked...

    Your opinion on coffee and alcohol?

    you know, personal experiences are, well, personal. for example, the biggest effect on the body is nutrition and exercise. build a strong foundation, and enjoy cannabis, coffee, wine (in moderation) - i've given up harder drink 'cause it just doesn't appeal to me anymore, although an...

    taking the plunge into the deep end … so, after 10 and a half years of working out the details of this design - and relentless testing (this ain't no brand new, never tried, design) i have taken the next step in my manufacturing feasibility study - can the pcb design standup to automated...

    Is an 'isolated air path' really important?

    considering how much i use my vaporizer, i wouldn't consider using a vape that doesn't have an all glass air path/vapor path … and temperature control. which is why i made one. and, hopefully a lot more than just one, real soon now.

    my, what in "interesting" last several months … i have officially switched from my tried and true, ole reliable m14v3 to this current generation m15v3 … but not without some struggles along the way (seems to be my way). this one, and the next dozen or so, are cherry, rather than the mahogany i...

    well, this is definitely the fun part of the development cycle … i.e. testing the new pcb and tuning the software. turns out the clock is running slow - a session that should take 7 min 30 sec is now running 15 seconds longer. that's a puzzle because i haven't changed the clock frequency in 5...

    okay, that was a stressful two weeks … finally emerging from a hell of my own making … so, i get the new boards … and they just don't work. i populated 3 just in case i was doing it physically wrong … nope! as it turns out, i had a software bug that i introduced when trying to tidy up some...
