I think you've come to the right place, check it out. There are of course more powerful options (aren't there always?), but when it comes to taste few if any can compete with the DT atty driven by a suitable TC mod. This gives a small area (read reloading more often) but it's ceramic and...

I'll assume, since you're using it plugged in (with the factory charger?) it's a new (say less than two years old). You can easily test by running on battery then plugging in the charger while doing so. If it soldiers on (as I expect) it's a new 'use while charging' unit. If it immediately...

Didn't we just go through this a few posts back? It does not show resistance changing, it shows the 'locked' resistance and estimated temperature which is the same thing really? If you want to know in Ohms you need to subtract room temperature from the reading, divide the difference by .245%...

You fell for that one too? I understand he gets a quarter dollar kickback for every shavetail he suckers in. I don't think it's his main job, more of a part time, beer money thing? OF

While you raise an interesting point, but I'm not sure right off it's it's all that valid? First off, Pico does in fact display resistance changes, it just multiplies it by the M factor we fed it and shows it as degrees? It's still a PPM change deal. At one point I had a table on a card of...

Please either take the advice you asked for, read the thread before asking a question that's been covered over and over (as the rules you agreed to require) or report us for violating those rules (use the 'Report" key lower left). We're trying to help here, honestly. TIA OF

Your call for sure, but if you came here looking for advice I'd suggest you heed LH's warning if you don't want to read back in this and the Solo threads. AFAIK the universal experience is bad. I've had two such adventures I've posted about (specifically bought the 'too good to be true' stuff...

Yep, I've got a very similar scale, still use it for stuff too heavy for the 20 gram one, for sure the coin cells are a bummer. They seem to always be near dead. I learned a lesson there for sure, AAAs are the call for sure. Cheaper, easier to find, run LOTS longer....... I'd steer clear of...

This is what the factory pack looks like with it's clothes off: The protection board and thermal safety are under the fish paper cover. The first photo is my partially completed pack build, I used Kapton tape not fish paper in mine (with the proper heat shrink jacked of course). You'd have...

For sure there are many out there. Some I'd trust, some I wouldn't. For sure there are a lot more ways to build a poor quality pack (cheap cells, questionable protection circuits and so on. And do they include the over temperature safety that the factory thinks is important to have in the...

Interesting. I just tested this on a handy Solo (old 'true PA' version, my new model is out on loan). Since it has the 7 to 9 Volt range 'reserved' for PA I suspect it's a bit different but below 6.9 Volts it definitely 'tilts out' flashing the lower 4 LEDs (one blue, 3 red) and not doing...

I considered that one, being happy with other American Weigh brand scales, but decided on this instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ESGK8WW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wanted the smaller format. I'm very happy with it. Despite appearances it has real switches under...

Your call. The one on the right was made after the one on the left, even if by a short time, it's 'newer'. Use/abuse counts more at the individual level I think. Otherwise, I've already said my opinions and why. Good luck with it, hard to go wrong, really? Flip a coin? OF

Didn't we go through this again a week or so back? Yes, it seems we did........ "One more time, bartender"??? Older units have a 'header board' in the oven assembly so it can be assembled (and serviced) as a unit. The later ones still have the slots for this board and screw holes in the...

Not to quibble, I think you have every reason to be optimistic. They have a first class (and well earned) reputation, a damaged VG is clearly an anomaly. Too many of us have received perfectly polished units without a single scratch or fingerprint to mean this is anything else but a...

No doubt has to do with that stem, they can do this when they are out of round? Correctly installed the o-ring should not make the stem tighter (harder to install and remove), that's not what the mod is for. OF

You know what the Texas Ranger's said in the day, "you can't stop a good man that keeps a comin'". Good luck with it, imagine how good you'll feel if you beat the little SOB........ OF

Yes, you can very easily break them, trust me on this.....the voice of experience and I fancy myself with 'above average' skills in the area. A less experienced guy could no doubt repeat it with no trouble at all. I advise staying away, there's nothing you can do to by way of service.....even...

No, they did not, they eliminated the 'header board' under the oven and changed the wring to eliminate the connectors (now solders directly to the main PCB) so we can no longer change oven assemblies. This happened about the same time as 'use while charging' IIRC. It's the new normal, for...

That's most likely it, it's common to all such lighters since the flow rate through the restriction (open valve) is determined by pressure which is in turn a function of the mix of stuff in the gas and the temperature (and minorly to ambient pressure.....). That's why it's adjustable. The...
