I too am very happy to be able to get in on this. Despite Matt's history/reputation it is always a bit of a risk with new products. In exchange for that we get a jump on availability. For sure I've bought a lot of vapes that didn't 'measure up', and I'll probably do it again sometime if I'm...

Very interesting. Since none of the materials used will burn at likely temperatures it's probably not a conventional 'Class A' (flammable materials) fire unless you spilled something? I'm betting is a 'Class E' (Electrical) fire? That is a loose/dicey connection at a screw or elsewhere...

Off hand I would not know why not, but think you should ask Arizer, not us? If you do, please let us know what they say? TIA. Thus far no one has AFAIK. OF

Gentle Friends, Another troubleshooting tip for you. OK, the sad story of my troubles.....which hopefully you can avoid. I have two units to play with so even though I can't use it yet I decided to confirm the second one was ready to go. After a bit of fiddling (again, lead screws and the...

Yes it happens when the water vapor (what 'comes off first') hits glass cool enough to condense it still. It's a 'start of session' thing that goes away as the glass heats and all the water is driven out of the load on the way to 390F. Later on you'll probably note that a thin layer of...

Yes. First menu function, choices off, low, high. OF

Nor Napoleon as we spell it here...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon Not that the spelling is all that important, even in Napoleon Brandy where of course the Brandy part is by far the most important part. OF

Exactly so. While NiCds are pretty tolerant of deep discharges, the NiMH we use are fatally damaged if they ever get below something like .8 Volts each. No recovery of any use to us here. This is why LSD (Low Self Discharge) cells have such advantages (they 'run flat' sitting in the drawer...

The only conductive glues I know that will work are Silver filled, and that would be marginal. It's not soldered I suspect due to temperature. Soft solders melt at something like 360F, soldering iron temperatures are typically 600 to 700F. Spot welding or Silver brazing are the common bonding...

Not to worry about respect at this point, that was so 'long ago'...... Great you've decided to give it a go. I bet you like it big time although you might end up favoring the 2.5 for routine use like some/many of us? It's a real treat not to have to worry about 'cooking the oil' once set up...

Fun analogy. I like tanks. How about you can build Tigers (technically the hottest thing going ATT, but very expensive and high maintenance) and send them to meet the Russians. They, in turn send ten, 20 or more times the number of T34s (a modest but capable, cheap, easy to use and reliable...

Cool by me. We just differ? You seem interested in 'the very best available', I'm big on 'what's the cheapest, simplest way to get it to work reliably'. More important for newbies than old hands? Let's think a bit about what's needed? Do we really need 1 degree resolution? Solo has about...

You know, long ago when this cotton thing came up (IIRC it's @Vitolo who's at fault here.....) I did some experiments/research/poking around. I came to the same conclusion as most I think, cotton is just not reactive at these temperatures. It doesn't burn, scorch, discolor or even loose much...

I really think can include such things as examples, size of the system really has nothing to do with the factors involved. Controlling the speed of your car by closed loop (feedback) is the same technically as the thermostat in your living room or TC in your vape from a technical POV. I...

PP! That takes me back. For years I carried one, had to make two more 'pokers' over the years due to corrosion (the pin is piano wire (carbon steel, it rusts....). It got so gummy in the 'resin trap' that I had to heat it up too hot to hold without a rag and force the plug out to clean it. I...

I get what you're saying, and think I understand the situation well enough. You're ignoring the time constant thing? This is a very slow system, highly damped. Unlike E-cigs there's a serious lag in response that has to be accounted for. You don't need proportional control with your car...

In my youth I used to travel for Field Service, often a week at a time or more. I'd typically travel with about 3 feet of rubber tube which I'd stick out the window so I could be comfortable....... I'd leave the tube behind, in case. OF

I really think you'll have to work that out for yourself, or wait until someone does it for you. And I truly think you should use the factory software which is known to work. This is not the sort of load AF is designed to service. This is NOT 'an e-cig' burning 'juice'. Your call. Otherwise...

Great! It confirms a couple of the details I found. I called the threaded plate a 'saddle' but it can move to the side and bring the 'shorted' fault. Playing with it fixed that problem. Likewise I found that carefully stacking the leads in the slot, so the screw presses well on both of them...

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy your QQ. OF
