    Checked that out no resolution. Thanks. I sure hope it's the charger. Find out soon enough, just doesn't work well on half full batteries. BTW, I have been using the power supply from the post a couple pages back. Here's the set-up that is working for me right now. Getting 5.9 volts before the...

    Hey guys, wasn't going to post til I received some more batteries for using the TV. But thought maybe I'd get some input first. I have been having mixed results and some very frustrating times with this unit. I realized there was a learning curve as with most unique products but tried all...

    If still having troubles do a complete gas purge. Purge, fill, turn upside down such that the liquid is released first when pushing gas valve. Fill again wait 2 - 3 minutes for gas temp to normalize. If you see the spark, the igniter is fine, as OF pointed out the only other variable is the fuel...

    Well I'm becoming a fan. DAY 4 but first day of new herb. First off the grain of the herb is very important. Using the powdery bottom of the bag stuff just frustrated the hell out of me. Second is that the batteries must be topped up and then some initially. At least I think this was my...

    Agree there. You can get protected 18650's just mentioning it as an option for those who might have these and LR stuff. They do pack a longer punch.

    Thank you. TV. I am new at the TV (just got it Friday) and was wondering about the batteries. Is there a break in period for performance to improve. I noticed that there seems to be differences between the punch. Also, I did have one defective from box. It refused to take a charge on the...

    TV's will like be teflon coated. I found this one in a key locker at work, never knew there were so many sizes. LOL This material doesn't like to bend (which makes it ideal) so bending should be done slowly as it is brittle and heats up and breaks if bent fast. Tip of the day: Did you know a...

    And the Key Ring Agitator is born. Also can be used to hold a screen if need be. Does lift the lid a little as the rim of the bowl presses against the spring. First attempt at the angle of finger but seems to do the job fairly well. Just unscrew the lid abit and or alot, whatever works for...

    Well I received my T1 Friday and here is my experience so far. Still learning, any further advise would be much appreciated. I started with VG., both the bat and the original. Great product if you can find a reliable constant 1" flame lighter. Finally found a lighter that fit the criteria after...

    Got my TV Friday and will post a review once I figure out more of the learning thing. Although not that much to learn but surprised at how hot to hold it does get by the end of the bowl. Anyway, yes for sure, absolutely they need a convenient way to stir the herb and keep those intake holes...

    Yes they are torx screw as OF said. That is the driver in the pic. And that is the side up that needs to be removed. Avoid touching the sticky side. Once The edge is lifted (Unsing small flat heat, also in pic.) I used tweezers to lift and peel very slowly.

    I have a similar case but worked out great, thanks to Amazon. Purchased two and one had bad gas tank valve. Contacted IOLite via email and was told to go to the seller. Went to Amizon's website, found my order, requested RMA and viola received email that new unit shipped and shipping directions...

    I used that Iroda in the pictures in first post. Don't worry too much about having to connect a piece of the wire from the original unit. Just trim the insulating sleeve a bit and slip alongside the other one under the sleeve. No metal to jump to but a small piece of electrical tape not a bad...

    You're answer is back a page. Now that I know what they look like they are very very common. If you check out the torch lighters around they almost all use the same ignitor. Even the wire length seems standard. :smug:

    Looky what I found kicking around in the basement. Actually found 3 of them. You make a good point about the 7806 rated at 1 Amp. I'm not sure but kind of hoped that been attached to handle for heat sink and the fact that it would really only be on for 30 seconds at most continuous. You would...

    Yep, getting ready to skin away. Kind of thinking first thing to make would be a regulated power handle with a secure DC type plug on it. Inside the handle I envision a simple high current 6 V set regulator (7806) with a rectifier bridge in front of it and this handle could take 7 - ?? Volts...

    Thanks for the confirmation. Thought about the transformer but the physical size for 6 amps out would be huge (and not sexy). The most efficient and smallest would be a converter type supply. Yes, some do go into shut down mode until reset if too much current is sensed. This is a good thing...

    I would be very sceptical about this variable voltage mod. There are variable mods for ecigarettes out there which are just barely acceptable. I own a KnightRider myself, same as LavaTube and was quite disappointed to find out the current path was though the trigger switch. I kept thinking the...

    I also comply with this logic. These are relatively new devices and the power needed is being tested to the max with the consumer seeking the smallest size and the biggest punch. We are now talking tolerances in manufacturing. For example, carts rated at 2 ohm may actually be 1.8 - 2.2 ohm. Also...
