Those are 5mm too long. The battery that fits well is 55 x 30 x 25mm. The 55mm length is maxed out for space inside. A little room to play (2-3mm) with the 30mm and 25mm measurements. :sherlock: I've done a fair bit of searching and they used to be on Amazon but no more. Can get similar on Ali...

The way the switch is set up isn't very forgiving for capless inserts. And looks like you went the full monty with the heat cycle. The VC gets pushed into the inside of the rubber tubing and when removed pulls and flanges the tubing out making it look like a splashdown. Might be able to trim off...

You'll find everyone has a bit different measurement here. Lots of variables in the equation. Cap model/vintage, herb dryness/strain, AC/battery power and of course personal taste preference. In design, my goal is getting as close as possible to the click without being too aggressive. Having the...

Just do a search on Amazon for "12.6 volt charger" Stick with the 1 amp units. ;)

Have you reinstalled the dowel? It needs a heat shield or the VC will melt the top of the tactile switch. If the dowel is lost, a small drop of JBQuick Weld, applied to the center of the tactile switch top will work just fine. :science: So you are just substituting the tach switch for the...

The above diagram is all correct. Not sure what you're asking. First off, the switch needs to be rated for at least 5 amp. The markings shown are: -,+ are the internal LED light. C - common or center pole of the switch. NO - Normally Open (used for this configuration) NC - Normally Closed (not...

Come on now, that one is just getting warmed up. I've seen them completely charred black and harder than rock. The darker the wooden heat shield gets, the harder it becomes. The same idea as our ancient ancestors did with their spear tips by putting in the fire. Show us again next year. :D

I believe you're asking about powering via a car's accessory jack..? Your car battery has enough power for sure. A Bare Bones or Jarhead will work fine. Only concern lyes with the accessory plugs nipple. Because of the high current, this contact point for the plug is very important and needs to...

Please contact via PM for individual failures and troubleshooting. :cool: Yes, center pin is positive. PSM has a charger and JH has a power supply. Not interchangeable. Also, cleaning does not make the switch easier to push. As for general mechanical switch maintenance, I've made an...

Howdy. Yes, the same chargers can be used for either unit. To measure the battery, it's best to measure while you have the VC inserted. This puts the battery under load and will measure lower on the readout. These gauges are the same as most gauges and just measures voltage. You get used to how...

Most likely it will be the tubing as would feel "soapy" if heated. It will need to come out by means of a hooked paperclip. Push beside the tubing and twist to have the hook snag from underneath. Pull it up a bit and repeat on the opposite side. Repeat until it comes out. Can likely just be...

You are correct that it's odd. There is no glue in there. The glass rhinestone is held down with thin double sided tape and is kept from any sideways movement by means of tubing that is pushed over the button shaft. I have never heard of one coming off while using normally. All the force is...

Hey guys, I received a very pleasant surprise today in the mail. @megatron, thank you very much for the customized enclosure. The fit is perfect and very easy to assemble. The modular just fits nice and tight and one only needs to align the tube slightly to center in the hole. The grommet fits...

Howdy. The BB driver stands about 55mm height. Comes ready to plug and play and gives time to ponder over an enclosure while giving it a workout. The power plug pigtail can also fit inside the choke coil for using stand alone without an enclosure. There is double sided foam tape on the bottom...

I have and opens up other cans of worms. Magnetic switches are affected by heat and did not want to go down that road. Although would be interesting to see if we could use that phenonium in our favor. Like when a magnet loses magnetism when vape temp is reached... Optical sensing looked good...

Excellent design work happening here. :bowdown: The heat shield/spacer for the pressure switch is definitely a main functional part. Physical depth, material and contact area/pressure all play a role is heat speed and heat location. I was using wooden dowelling for a long time with little...

Season's Greetings! In short, you're fine. I take it the polarity was the same. A 12 volt "supply" of the same physical size is likely only rated for an amp, maybe a little more, and will never reach overcharging of over 12.6 volts. And since you caught it after only 10 minutes, no damage would...

You can browse through my VC album by clicking any of my VC pics. I believe once you go to that picture, you can view the rest. Here is one to get you started. Tons in there. :cool: Also, about the caps getting stuck. My understanding this is "fairly" rare and only happens with a few caps. Not...

Excellent stuff. :science: Definitely glad you added a fuse. No protection from batteries capable of delivering 30+ amps can cause lots of fireworks. As you found out, the weakest wire(s) will burn up. Can be pretty scary indeed as can happen so quickly. Gets really fun if no wires are weak...
