That can happen for sure, depending on usage patterns. I suspect this is uncontrolled use? Too high, or more likely too low a charge level going on? Li-ions are much easier to kill (unprotected) than IMRs for sure. The same test parameters that gives 1000 cycles for Li-ions gives 600 for...

I'm a nobody, pass it over here...... OF

Good question, I think not. It doesn't flash on a hot nail which you'd expect if it was all that flammable. And adding it to temperature controlled vapes (like Solo and Iolite for instance) doesn't cause this problem. My guess is it just got too hot, which might be the cause of the damp...

The thing I recall seeing in a book long ago was on the order of a stencil of metal (copper?) It had a couple of 'bridges' over the slot which was 'wavy'. I think what you did was put it down, then pour a line of sand over the slot from end to end. The metal shields (masks) the wood by...

Just to get all you char freaks spinning in small circles, I understand traditional cabinet makers control the char by using heated sand (sometimes masked, sometimes not). I'm thinking something like putting the stripped down VM in a coffee can, then heating another can full of sand with a...

I agree, you can 'huff and puff' on the less restricted one and pull so much cold air into it to keep up full production. There is a real limit there. Less restriction makes it easier to get there is all. For us 'sippers' the old scheme is fine, but the anxious amongst us who want more right...

It should, the OD of the threads reads .40 and .45ACP would be .451 plus. I bet it's 'close enough for jazz' in that it'll just dome up a little bit but be square where it counts? OF

I started out that direction in fact. I was going to slit a section of my largest Silicone hose to get a (somewhat curved) 1/16 inch sheet. I was going to start with using a .40 cal shell casing as a punch (seems about the right size), but then I got to thinking about punching the inner hole...

Old school. Refreshingly old school. You could even add a rubber band and be really on theme? OF

Personally, I'm with you. Older model Solo fits me best. Each model has advantages an disadvantages, just like life. Smaller size, less battery, shorter life all go together. Great to have all the options in the market, gives a guy much better odds of a better fit. Yes, it's an indication...

IMO 'stuff falling into the heater core' is still a non issue. It was not a significant problem with Solo, and it seems it will be less so here (easier for and dust to get out the bottom). In the photo above you can see the stem at the top. The cotton goes in between the load and the screw...

Sometimes I come to the conclusion it's not worth the effort. A twisted sense of humor helps, sometimes. "Have you ever been up before me before?" "Beats me, Your Honer, what time do you wake up?" OF

I don't know.....when was your birth certificate filed? You were named just before that, right. I suggest every vape out there was named after you were? OF

Yup, that's what's behind it. While there's lots of ways for stuff to die (including people), there's a common factor called 'infant mortality'. If your cell phone, car, child or whatever 'lives' for the first little bit it's chances of a long life are much better than average. The curve of...

It's also the worst as it's the only deal out there for practical purposes......at least until they release to distributors (in January)? "Man in the 'coon skin cap wants eleven dollar bills and I only got ten". OF

Love it. Somewhere around here I have a 'rebuilt' Craftsman drill motor I bought a LOT of years ago with "R" crudely added (engraved) to the metal nameplate. Not warrantied, as it's 'still going strong'. Scares me to think of all the holes that sucker has bored. I've always considered...

IMRs are old friends to many of us. I probably have half a dozen or more split between 18650s and 15500s (a 'must have' for TV Alpha supplies). I'm sure Ataxian has more. Lowest internal resistance cells (therefore highest current), best suited to 'open loop' (unregulated) systems running...

Sorry I misunderstood you. When you said "I'm sure the battery they sell wasn't "made specifically for use with the Arizer Air", that's nonsense." I thought you meant you were sure and thought the claim was nonsense. I hope you see how I might have got that impression? I'll agree, neither of...

Air is basically the same power, so having half the battery capacity, it runs half as long. It's a bit like 'how big a heater to I need for my house'. The bigger the house (think bowl) and the worse the insulation the more heater you need. But the heater power itself is cycled on and off, so...

The maker says the screws will conduct the heat into the wood locally and burn the threads out so it falls apart. Some consider that damage...... OF
