Very interesting idea. No, that should be 'Another very interesting idea'..... The use of Nickle is an obvious one, it has the highest (?) TC of common metals: http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-12/temperature-coefficient-resistance/ Ceramics might be a better choice...

Hey, at least it's not asbestos........ OF

Not exactly a first in the vape business........ OF

No, not a "short circuit" (unintended connection) but rather poor (intended) connection. The heating is like what happens when you use a cheap (not much copper) extension cord on a bathroom heater. Short circuits generally mean stuff melting or otherwise failing if there's no fuse to protect...

Hedonist! I knew there was a kinky streak in there somewhere........ OF

I agree. While warm might be OK (if it's uniform), hot is a problem. As is an unstable connection (hotter sometimes than others under the same conditions. A perhaps useful technique is to measure the Voltage drop across the screw connection, rather than the DC resistance (which will be pretty...

I don't use mine (well I use a 3/4 inch long section, but that's another story) but if it bothers you why not run a razor blade around the bottom (cutting inward, toward the end cap) and shave the overhang off? If you stretch it downward (or upward depending) before the cut, 'springback' should...

Yer very welcome, thanks for saying thanks? While I'm not really sure about Pipes (and who can really be?) you're spot on about the Lady I think. First rate folk, great resource. We're lucky to have here, the world can sure use more like her........I don't suggest we share however? Thanks...

I don't know about you, Pipes, but I think he has us confused for two other guys? OF

Great photo, thanks Pipes. So good in fact I can see you didn't use enough flux......... I know, 'it ain't pretty but it works.....'. OF

I gave my Volcano grinder away a while back, from what I recall the grind (really a shred) I'm using these days is finer, not I think that matters much. If I follow right, you're using one of the humidity control modules favored by Cigar and Pipe guys? IMO that's way too wet for vaping. They...

Great score, congrats. I smell a broken solder connection on the PCB (or broken connector). Good luck with it, please let us know how it turns out? TIA OF

As we learned with MFLB, if you want to keep fouling down, be sure your herb is very well cured (to the point of being dry). It seems the water vapor is involved. I clean mine every dozen or so charges, not once (or even more often) per charge? I suspect such fouling is bud related? OF

This is normal, especially for new units. Sometimes you can't get the stem into a new unit when it's cold. It will get looser over time. It's not a fault. Don't worry about it. Continue to enjoy the Air......just remember to pull the stem before it cools too much. BTW you do know the...

Sorry, I thought I was responding to the lower screen. In fact, reading back I still do? The MP screen is easier to replace (they give you spares, expecting you will), but the 'screens from PV that come 50 to a bag' are going to be way too big to replace them. Not an easy 'cut and try' job...

Ah, so! My condolences. Of course my thoughts don't count in an ongoing condition, only for recovery from a static change. The part about enjoying your new Air still counts, though. Thanks for the additional information. Best wishes, OF

Actually there's no such thing as "just pop out screen from bottom" it's wedged in 'good and tight'. You might get lucky with a needle in the Mini (not the other models, no access....), you might have to disassemble it for better access or you might wreck it. Owners have reported all 3. But...

I think you've got a good grip on it and should do well. Reading the thread is good insurance. The eye thing is interesting. You do know that this 'problem' (different views from each eye) is common to all men (and women)? We see two slightly different 'worlds' through each eye. If you hold...

I wasn't aware the OP was in Canada. It works the other way, too. We pay a premium to go to Canada despite the 'fact' there's basically no place in Canada more than a few dozen miles from the US? It's the way postage works I guess. I think the decision to buy imported goods should include...

Yes, it's normal, and common to several vapes of similar design. I suggest sucking on it rather than holding it up to your ear.......but that's you call. OF
