If you really want to pursue the conduction road, I used a Gala drip atomizer. Pried out the two ground posts and installed two small washers to pinch the SS screening. I used the SS mesh I had on hand. #300 mesh..? Can't remember. Pinched the outer portion with the tube itself by removing one...

14mm OD. supplier I was getting from is currently out of stock. Looking for a new source. I emailed the current supplier and he said he will be getting more down the road. Very interesting. Any idea on if available for sale? The disc design could easily be adopted into the Project. Cool stuff!

The pieces should align up reasonably. There are some imperfections due to the tooling and me not being the best at the craft. Getting better though. The most important part is the installation of the first Oring around the heating tube before inserting the screen. This ring must provide a good...

Can't see way not. First I'd try cleaning the stem only as easier to re-assemble. Nothing in the material can be hurt much with cleaning. I found the Linseed oil dampens the "woody" taste as well as a sealant. Either way, the taste should go away with use. Also, note that the stem which is...

Hey guys, glad the units are making it to their new homes. As @nondarb mentioned, rotating the stem, helps average out the hot spots. My routine would be to rotate after 2-3 puffs, another 2-3 puffs and dump in my palm and used the stem to scoop it back in. Good with rotating till finished...

BAM!!! Home Run!!! I really like that!

Sounds like your there but not letting the unit adjust to the changes. Every time you make a TCR change you should start from scratch. Ohms unlocked, atomizer cooled to room and remove battery to reset the Mod. Then turn things on and confirm new atomizer. Now lock it. Note the ohms. Set the...

And here is the Mod Set-up Instructions, Also, links to a printable copy which may have updated information in the future. ;)

Some units will start getting delivered soon so I have started to put together an Instruction Sheet. It will be sure to change as questions roll in, but here it is as far. It is linked to a more printable version. ;)

Some kind of impeller between the heater and screen would be perfect for preventing hot spots. It would turn with the air movement slicing or chopping it as it passes. Keeping the mechanism clean might end up being a nightmare though. Cost a little on the efficiency as well. A reflector of sorts...

Think about it in a more general sense. Overall efficiency should increase with gauge of wire. Basing this on faster heatup and cool down. Minimal losses because of "time". Overall heat transfer ability goes the other way. Meaning thicker gauge gives more transfer but wastes heat (calories) in...

Wow, leave the thread for a day.... @KeroZen, The Teflon insulator. This was a part of the build I had concerns with as well. Kept my eye on it throw weeks of testing the same unit. Did not see any deterioration at all. Agreed, that ceramic would be a better fit but could't fine. The TO220...

Thanks all. Response has been awesome. Please PM with requests as can get confusing tracking requests from the thread. It's a good job I have next week off work, so I can put more units together. So far I think I can cover the requests but getting close to having to go past a week wait time...

I'm getting .5 ohm at room temp and .71 ohm at vaping temp. SS316 For a good grade high temp tubing give USPlastic a look.

Something is off there. Is it performing good? You should see a greater change in resistance. Almost sounds like you went from a short in your coil somewhere to a bad connection adding resistance. Betting the correct value should be somewhere in between. Check it over and tighten things up...

Batteries are a good topic to get some feedback to. I've tried a fair many types. Been using Sony VTC4s without a problem Even VTC3 work fine. Found VTC5s are a waste of the extra money as cannot detect any difference in performance from that of the 4s. I think rule of thumb is look for high...

********************* The "Project" Takes Flight ********************** ******************* Please Fasten Your Seat Belts ********************* Hey follow FCers. I'd like to introduce the "Project". The result of an endeavor I had started back in 2012 in a DIY thread called the DIY...

I've gained confidence in the SS316 coils now. Took a few tries to zero in on the TCR number but finding 145 a good trade off. Working with AWG 22, .5 ohm coil and temperature setting in the low 500 range. Finding it as stable and consistent as the Ti so far. In fact I have started using it to...

The Project Is coming Soon!!!

2.5 would be bare minimum. 3 amp. and up would be a better fit. Folks have had good luck with the old PS1 supplies.
