You can work it out with the average watts per bowl. Takes about 15-20 mAh @ 12volts per puff or 80 mAh @12 volts per bowl. This was calculated from the average of 10 bowls from the 800 mAh PSM battery. If planning on other voltage rather than 12 V, you will need to convert to wattage per hour...

If the LED on the charger is actually going out, you need a new charger. The Caldron may be a little quicker to heat than the PSM but with the original PS, it would depend on your battery rating. If using batteries rated for say, 30C, the PS would likely be quicker than the Caldron but if...

I no longer make the 18650 packs as found the RC Lipo tech easier to make and more reliable. I also wasn't 100% comfortable with the 20 amp BMS as a little overrated for the task. I tried and make units with the smaller 10 amp BMS which is much better rating safety wise for this task. The...

Good question. The typical number of charge cycles for Lipo chemistry is 300-500 full charge/discharge to drop to 75% capacity, so a year would be a charge a day every day. Your cell phone falls into this category. You'd have to be a pretty heavy and consistent user with the PSM. For most, there...

Discussed one page back. ;)

I tried a long time ago but found too many obstacles to overcome. First one is getting a usable stable voltage as mods are a pulse modulated voltage and not a steady supply. Mods also depend on the resistance feedback which cannot be read until its activated and will not activate on the mods...

To get on the waiting list(s), please contact me via PM (private message) to get on the list. Thanks.

There is no application for the charger and Caldron as the Caldron has no battery.

I think most newer cars will have a hard time with that 15 amp rating you're giving it. Mainly because of the light-duty hardware receptacle many manufacturers have been putting in. Agreed that using an inverter is just over-engineering at it's best or worst. The Caldron along with the PSM runs...

The + and - from the Lipo also go to B- and B+ on the BMS. The P+ and P- are for your device AND charging going into it. :tup:

Sounds like you have the sense harness hooked up correctly. V+, V1, V2, and ground where V1 and V2 are connected between the cells. Now the 2 pin load wire goes in parallel with V+ and ground. This basically doubles up the main current path from battery to the BMS. The BMS output, + and - pads...

These will work fine for a smaller replacement. They stand around 13mm high which is less than 1/2 the size in all physical measurements of the current ones. :science:

Good stuff! :clap: Glad you got it up and running again. That yellow wire's gauge is more than enough as it's the trigger only and carries little current. The burned part of the wire is likely from me torching the shrink wrap tubing. :whoa:

The Caldron doesn't have any built-in battery management system (BMS) and therefore no protection circuit. It relays on the PSU to have overcurrent protection. If a battery is directly connected and the driver shorts out, the connection wires would heat and melt in a vicious way. The minimum...

Generally, pinpointing is what you do not want to do but rather have the heat evenly distributed. Have played a lot with the best positioning depthwise into the coil to achieve an even extraction. :science:

That's the only way it works. Doesn't take a battery, only a DC input fed from the supplied PSU. It's the desktop version.

If you applied power anytime while the coil was not installed, the driver's FETs will be shot. Unless you have soldering skills, you likely need a new assembly.

So this last week has been an eye-opener for best methods for transferring funds. First off, my apologies for assuming most banks support email e-transfers. Apparently, this is only an easy method for the Canadian banking system. Seems pot laws aren't the only way we Canucks are leading the way...

I'm new to this method as well. Going to be some growing pains. The document I linked above digs deeper into financial institutions methods. I'm not sure how the currency will be handled at this point neither. My pricing is USD dollars so this may have to be converted somewhere along the way...

I've only done by logging on. My guess is a teller would advise you to do it this way as well. Generally, you just need to find your bank online and use your client card number to set up online availability. I think most have this set up anyway and if not, a good time to figure it out. :) EDIT...
