Apparently I wasn't thinking far enough outside the 18650 cylinder. There is no problem with that other than convenience. Most people use preformed basket screens, rimmed or unrimmed, or a larger screen that can be formed into a basket. You can easily form baskets by drilling a shallow ~12...

Without battery tech improvements I think the TM is at the limit of what's possible. The only way to stretch more battery time would be to lower the power, and we can't have that... You can pull the power out more slowly and store it in thermal storage like the Angus, but then you have to wait...

57, because you are tricky and random :) Or, because I have no idea...

@AndyO , this is what most people report 3 - 4 sessions\bowls of 3 - 4 hits each. I run my v1.5 between 5 and 7. It's a powerful and hungry device. I usually notice the need to turn the temp up a little sooner than usual for one hit and then it dies on the next. It's easiest if you have 4+...

I don't know anything specific about the YLL, I just heard it is a good IH. For homemade heaters it's recommended to reduce the coil wraps from the default of 10 down to 8 or possibly 7. Most people push the coil wire into S loops on the side as shortening it too much can have bad effects on...

I'm guessing you meant to translate this part :). Yes, 30 seconds is a long time for an IH, most can heat from cold in 8 to 12 seconds. You don't want to heat much faster or it heats unevenly. Note that steel caps heat faster than titanium and some of the yearly versions of the Vapcap heat...

Thanks, I saw something there and thought it was an air intake. That's a really small battery.

I feel dumb, but where does the power come from? What makes it hot? Is there a heating base or battery pack not shown?

What is the question exactly? Are you trying to say your Dynavap B didn’t get hot? Test your IH with a big nail or a cheap screwdriver for just a few seconds. Does it get hot, does the LED on the board light up? These circuits are really easy to kill accidentally. I killed several, sometimes...

This is mostly about appearances. Paypal doesn't want to be associated with any bad press regarding vapes, cannabis or lung disease of any kind. They don't want to spend money or work at banning vapes, they want to make a token effort so they have a policy and some actions they can point to...

It's still the TM 1.5 for me with the Vong and Wand combo a very distant second. I'm not sure if any of the desktops got turned on in '23, maybe the SSV once or twice. The MV1's are very lonely these days...

I vaguely recall a post describing a similar issue, maybe a couple of years ago. I would remove the cell, clean everything, maybe loosen and then retighten the main screw. This sounds like a firmware issue or a bad temp sensor. If it doesn't "reset" itself you likely need warranty service...

The mods will allow it to a certain extent, especially if everyone plays nice. The problem is that these sorts of discussions turn into opinion wars that don't advance in a useful way. On sites like Reddit nobody cares if a thread goes to shit because they all disappear in a day or two anyway...

Damn, that thing can be charged at 9A (3C) routinely and up to 36 A. Where do I find that charger? It also claims "After 500 cycles of 100W discharge, it can retain incredibly up to 75% of initial run time.". This is a serious power cell, it will be awesome when the price comes down.

Do you literally mean 30 ml and not 300? That's two table spoons. I would expect you to be using about 10 times that much ISO, maybe more.

The first rule of engineering is: if it works, it works.

I'm surprised by all the comments where people think S&B "doesn't care" about how they've affected customers. Oh, they care all right. Imagine it from their point of view. They've likely had this in the works for a year or more. Production was all lined up and the first units were delivered...

It's tempting to collect dead ones that could be used to refurbish units in future. It would help if we knew which subsystem is the root cause of the problems. For the MV1 we knew it was the Bluetooth circuitry that drained batteries.

A fully discharged Li Ion cell kept at room temp has very little (trending towards zero) chance of spontaneously combusting. However, if you put pressure on the cell, puncture it or allow it to grow too hot it is still a very definite fire risk. They are mostly just being cautious. On the...

If you are talking about the little cover cap for the switch you shouldn't do anything to it. That is a dust and cosmetic cover that needs to be slightly loose. If you put something behind it that puts pressure on the switch attached to the PCB you are likely to bust the switch. If you...
