The battery numerical designation is related to its size. The first two digits are the diameter in millimeters. ex. 18650s or 18350s are 18 mm around. 14500s are 14 mm and 10440s are 10 mm. The next three digits are the CELL size in tenths of a millimeter. So a 17670 is 17 mm in diameter and...

This is interesting! I use mainly oils, not wax, and mostly "thin" though not as thin as PG. I had a single 4 Ohm cart that I called "magic" - It lasted through >7g. When I took it apart I found it had only a tiny bit of wick - probably 1/4 the size of the other carts I'd taken apart (thanks OF...

Damn, screws up my ongoing recovery from VAS. What special instructions should be given to get a DART built for 7.4? Any chance to get an Evolution core built that way too? -NDA

OK. I still have about 8 mls of D2O - Do you have a source for the T2O (can't just buy it in Glendale like you could in '70). -NDA

OFFTRACK Actually, Crown invented the class D for audio apps (didn't they win the "Queen's" award in '72 for it) and still sells equipment for reproduction and production (i.e. guitar amps). I didn't realize they get used much in radio gear (make sense though) - I must be really old because...

I was only guessing why oil/wax wouldn't work. Everything you (OF) have ever said about the internal battery and Omi head losses is spot on. Any wasted energy, which we see indirectly as lower voltage under load (or current, if you have a rig to measure it) would be best minimized. The primary...

More guesses. The problem isn''t simply power - an extra volt won't help. I suspect it is the heat delivery distribution, by design. The Hercules is much larger in diameter than the standard Omi carts (or common ecig 510/301 attys), so it seems that the inner chamber has expanded from a "flue"...

I'm a self-admitted "battery slave". I've charged 18650s 5 days this week and Twists 3 times. Actually, I'm very interested in the new SmokTek "Gripper VV" just because I'd like to put Ultrafire 4000mAh cells in it and see how long it can go (though it has a plastic body, unlike early reports of...

The 5.0's are intended to be EASIER. Those of us who were "early" got 4 Ohm cartridges (then +2 from PV plus an extra box all "/601" labelled horizontally, not the newer "/6" vertically labelled ones). 4's can be simple - push button, count to 3 or 4, inhale for 15 or 20 seconds 'til cold ;)...

Tim, That is clearly the Alpha-Apex case that has been around for a while: http://www.innovapor.com/apex-alpha-electronic-cigarettes/parts-accessories/alpha-custom-carrying-cases/alpha-ultramax-custom-carrying-case/ Great price. Are these a close-out or will there be more after the "100" lucky...

Sound good AND I have this afternoon free. Too bad I'm about 1500 miles away right now. For future reference: DubC, Are you anywhere near any transit? (Years ago I worked at one end of the 24 in Oakland - Concord is the otherside IIRC - I wouldn't know how to get there without checking - I...

G, I don't get to LA much for a long time. But 40+ years ago, Wednesday nights on Van Nuys Blvd (is that legal anymore?). And there was no Tommy's in the Valley - You needed to go to Hollywood or at least Eagle Rock, and they didn't sell fry's yet (You had to stop at In-And-Out to pick up frys)...

G, It was specifically your jungle juice I was making reference to. It seems much weaker than what I drink now each morning - and I used to have another medical issue (endocrine, but in remission) and used to need much more. You said 2lb of hash (a kilo?) - guessing bubble - plus three "trees" -...

How sure are you OF? In Persei post #4109, DubC says "not a breakfast drink" about something close to my every morning "wake-up" (and that doesn't last me the entire morning). I doubt anyone whose primary consumption method is inhalation has a _very_ high tolerance level :) though I guess...

The gaps (at least one or two) are normal - They allow air to flow through the body and carry the vapor out the top. I also noticed uneven melting when I first got a DART. The solution, for me, is so simple as to be almost funny: Hold the unit at 15 or 20 degrees tilt and just rotate it around...

I was only asking about the core/heater, so far... Actually after cleaning my DART (no ultrasonic - takes longer, but works great), I was thinking along more radical (pun visible later :) ) methods. My first ideas centered on just cleaning: I had thought about and discarded most solvents -...

This is very interesting since I believe the residue that does remain after the recommended ISO./boil/burn is mostly graphite and graphite oxide. If you mean 1400F (about 777C) you're already near the point of actually burning the residue IN AIR, The actual burning points vary, but graphite is...

Things are different in different places. I've seen police not only show up, but arrest someone with an ecig in a public park (the person did try to argue - always a mistake with LEOs - the charge might have been "interfering with an officer" since things got loud). For the record, this was in...

Clean, clean and clean some more :) I used to always do the ISO soak then boil twice until I started using an ultrasonic tank with ISO in a bottle. BUT, we've now heard that TV recommends AGAINST using ultrasonic tanks (may cause mechanical core damage was offered), so currently I have one...

This is quite correct. The original wall warts are 12v AC unregulated supplies. IIRC about a year and a half ago (i.e. you'll have to search back a few hundred pages) someone measured and Tom confirmed that it _actually_ runs a bit over thirteen volts (I believe within a sub-thread where he...
