Interesting thought... a 2S cells would make a PSM a slow roaster. That's almost as good as a low temp cap! :mental: Okay, just thinking out loud again :clap:

I wasn't suggesting there was a problem with the PCB. I only stated that the screw that holds the heater post is mounted directly on the PCB and that FR4 is functionally rated to 130'C. That is because the substrate is glass and epoxy. No one knows what temperature the post gets to and I...

Thanks for reminding me. No, you haven't changed the resistance. The difference is that your load will be a little lower as you impart a little less energy to the VC. Maybe 10%, if that. 15 gauge 200'C magnet wire. It was the trade-off for width I wanted and number of turns. Resistance...

I like that look too, thanks! :D

Damn @Madri-Gal - very sorry to hear this. All the best of course!

The price of DIY is remembering where you put the stuff last time you played with it. I'm starting to loose track. This is scary :ninja: Something like this would work. Basically you feed the unit 4 wires instead of 2; I know the intelligence is over the top. But there seem to be those...

I do see an opportunity - the board seals against the wooden housing and if there are no cuts along the heated chamber's cylinder, that makes this a passive seal from the electronics. @Brewervapesalot - overall the heat is well managed. I have no concern that this is like every other vape that...

Semantics, Siebter - both are true. It is in fact stood on a post on the PCB so air can get under it and wires too. Why do you need to start shit every time I post? Post a picture of it would be a lot more helpful. The board's majority components are not in the direct air path but they are...

The air has to go under the heater and the heater is on the PCB. Sealing that may be some effort.

@LabPong - Indeed I understand the design concept and in practice I would expect you are absolutely correct. The o-ring will take significant torque. I also understand the concerns on the other end.

Li-ion is more forgiving that Ni-CAD or Ni-Mh. It has a very simple set of rules. I have never heard of needing to balance cells until I got here but I do accept the fact that running cells close to their limit does wear each cell slightly differently. Therefore, yes, smaller cells like the...

I'm quite proud of my state's efforts after finding outbreaks. We're a police state by most standards but in this case, it is working without resorting to high visibility methods. Kudos Oregon.

The aluminum sleeve can be replaced with quartz from what I've gathered.

Good to know @farmerpalmersnt ; thanks. Do you have the quartz sleeve or the aluminum one?

Thanks; bottom line is the gap is minimal and a good hard knock can easily impart a shock to the stem if dropped. Just thinking of ways to make it a little more robust. $10 stem or a $10 stem-saver? You see where I'm going.

Trying to keep me occupied :evil: Yea that e-vehicle battery tech is freaking awesome! Money there is a drop in the bucket compared to replacing cell-packs. I has a crash course into Arduino and I'm hooked. Just another way to free your imagination knowing you're not just blowing smoke on...

:lmao:

@tokenknifeguy - It is worth a careful look. I don't have my TM yet but I understand this design with what's been released. A protruding stem is problematic with the few reported cases of breakage. What I know about shock and vibration testing is that things do things one never expects in...

Yea, I had a preview of that. That's where I was going. Add automation and you got something. Basically that is how I've been using the VC without the water worx in recent weeks. Very powerful deliveries.
