    This is pertinent to your interests: I think I will probably clean mine out and re-purpose it as a third EO cart... probably should have just planned on that and redirected a bill towards the new ecig mod and tank unit purchase, instead of buying that last spare. It is distinctly inferior...

    If it's truly mechanical there is no electrical activity going on in the switch itself, so nothing to go wrong as there is no current passing through it at any point in time, like the T1 sleeve. I could be totally wrong but this is how I understand it. I am personally looking at a Precise+ ELA...

    Yeah, the main sticking point for me in terms of negativity with products of this nature is the performance is directly engaged with your immediate brain chemistry. Nobody says "eh, whatever, I'll deal with it later" when the carts get hot and the hits get wispy. At the moment of questionable...

    So if we had a 510 adapter to the 3/8-24 Cera threads we could use other handles/mods with the carts, right? Why don't they just offer one of those and that way we can all short circuit or piecemeal our own ways to independent version twos? I have just discovered a few other mechanical mods...

    After receiving a new body to replace my soldered version, my original EL cart runs so well that I not only prefer to use it without the ceramic collar, I almost have to. If you run it from zero to draw status and let it "rest", I am estimating that it cools down more than twice as fast without...

    Fix your tags, you have the file url correct but it goes inside img tags, not url tags. Remove the errant [/url] and they should be fine near as I can tell. Neat idea!

    So I started to get a twitch behind my right eyeball, that turned into a throbbing pain... that was only relieved by a new interface & switch to run my EL cart. Ahhh yes, nicotine dosed again :bowdown: 48 hour tolerance breaks are better when planned for :lol: Thankfully Thermoessence has great...

    That's exactly what I imagined I would program for my lathe I just don't have time to draw the part, tear the fucking thing down and set up/run this one off... and I need "it", eg a solution to this jank switch, before the next road trip I take in a month. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet...

    Yeah I've just had my second flat top switch die, back to foil... at this point I am also dreaming up mechanical solutions but frankly don't have any time. Would be nice to see progress on the mini soon... at this point it would be a welcome version two interface, as it's clear the cores (aside...

    For what it's worth I put teflon tape around my switch threads to keep them from unthreading out of the housing, which would happen "just enough to piss me off" every time I pushed the button. I swapped out my original domed switch which failed on its own volition, and am still on the...

    Does this mean the EL core revisions are in effect? I was under the impression that the previous listing was de-activated due to it being no longer for sale until revised but that could be confusion on my part. I need to swap mine out when I get my second EO core and interface back if that is...

    In my opinion and experience with heat shrink tubing, the results were similar to cheap cell phone cases. It made my high tech device feel and look kind of jank, which is not what I am going for. I don't like the way the holes look punched out, and the thickness diameter fluctuations and end...

    You can run the EO core without the top plate, it is just more likely to spatter if not absorbed well enough into the ceramic cylinder around the heating coil. Cycle to where it will absorb and not vape off right away, it is a little more sensitive as you could imagine but basically the same...

    Upon further inspection as a zoomed still frame it appears to just be the current non-ceramic elements + drip tip + 18650 stacked in a 3D view. It appears shorter because it is not stacked on "top" of a switch assembly and there is no ceramic "body" around the parts. Always thirsty for more...

    I am not sure this will be relevant, pending the supposed design changes to the LQ cart, but I am once again reminded of advice from OF regarding core design. Performance on the LQ cart had degraded to relatively nonexistent vapor, with extreme core body heat production using the same power...

    For what it's worth, might want to be mindful of rattling the EO core around too much while you boil/soak it. I know another user a long while back had his ceramic top plate fall out during this process. During my first cleaning the top ceramic wiggled loose and flopped out in my sink and was...

    Yeah the 'ground strap' connection between the core mount ring and the switch housing, the core, and the switch itself are the only real vectors of hardware operation/failure outside the cell. I think the "test" is something OF refers to for concentrates so I am not familiar with that outside...

    I used a tinfoil crutch for an embarrassing amount of time, you paid for it to function, might as well enjoy its functionality while you wait for new parts. I understand you have other toys but the cores tend to work and not have problems from what I can tell and this would at the very least...

    I tried some black non adhesive shrink wrap, 1.5" to 0.75", and it just doesn't end up looking very good. I suppose I should have taken some pictures before I cut it off but I thought the best analogy in my mind was having a low quality case on a nice electronic device like a cell phone. It just...
