I ran my Nylon vs Peek test tonight. As hoped for, the Peek won out hands down.
Note, I ran these at 8 amps constant without airflow so well beyond anything we should be running at.
The Perk ran over twice as long and was just starting to deform when the setup failed. What actually happened is...
Now that's a good question. I cut the SS tubes up just yesterday and just need to clean them up. I also now have the glass for the SFs.
A couple things I want to do first before moving forward though.
1st thing is to see if the PEEK insulators might be a better choice but want to confirm...
It is gooey indeed. It's a doubled sided gooey tape. Although it can be easily removed and feels like it's floating, it also makes it easy for the user to change out as some prefer the diametric magnets. Then again, this batch has square magnets, so the pull is centered like the diametric round...
Removing the cells should be a very rare occasion. They should be at home there until they die. Which hopefully, won't be for at least a couple years.
After that, it's :rip: for them anyway.
Just getting the first one should be a little hard, the next two come easier as you can get down the...
No problem at all. Can use while charging is fine.
BTW, new batteries should be topped up first, although the waiting can be painful.
A 1/2 hour more on the supplied charger should bring em up to full.
:D
I'm going to do some testing to compare these PEEK insulators and the current nylon ones.
Will have to snip the collars off though as not flexible like the nylon so can't cram it in. Means a little more focus needs to be on centering everything up when assembling. Hopefully can get a few more...
Hold up them horses a bit. Intentions are good but this adjustment should be done only if AVB is considerable darker near the tip. It will always be slightly darker at the tip due to the convection portion of the equation. I tried to keep it on the side of a small count, after the click, to...
Yahoo!! Finally, another enthusiast willing to jump into the fun! If you need any direction on getting it going, let me know.
Gathering the parts list and getting the stuff on order is of course the first step. Getting set up with tools and jigs is good to get moving on while waiting. My start...
When in TC, the set watts is the available power to get to the set temp. The more power the faster it comes up to temp but also can overshoot easier. 40 watts is generally fine as easy on the battery too. If running too hot, either just lower the temp or if you don't like how the numbers are...
Shipping has begun for the Portsides, batch 2.
About 1/2 way through the list.
So as a reminder about battery installation. Only 4 screws need to be removed.
Rest unit with battery gauge facing down.
Remove upper two screws on the back side with the switch and charge plug.
Remove the bottom two...
I think the active temp is right on the threshold of glowing. @natural farmer is correct about draw speed. If you dial down and draw slowly you will get vapor. If you draw heavy, the noted glow will lower as you draw. I find with the Pure SF, I can't see the glow normally, but if in the car at...
SS tube link has being updated. The guy now only sells it on ebay and no longer on Ali. Had to ask him where they went.
SS Tubing.
I really want to make some more for sale and have plans to, however, finding the time has being a real pita.
Hopefully, before too long....?
Bath being the key word. Cleaning old dried pop or milk product takes a lot of ISO. Hot soapy water is cheap and can repeat many times.
Just ensure to blow out the water from all the cracks and potentiometers. Followed by a baking for insurance.
Salt water is very bad, as is coke or coffee...
Glad to hear it!
Yeah, water really doesn't hurt electronics as long as current isn't flowing.
Biggest mistake people always make is to try and work the device right after the mishap. This is where the problems happen.
I've had boards that failed do to coffee, pop and alike and best cleaning is...
That sounds like the over current is coming on. Or battery contacts.
You say that nasty word "rust". If the battery contacts were rusty, you really need to scrape it clean followed with a polish with wet/dry sand paper. Then wipe with ISO. Clean battery contacts are very important for high...
I'm afraid I'm not the skilled wood turner. Like I mentioned that was a special one which took a lot of time. Can't really put a price on it and do not have the time these days for special requests of that nature. Has come up many times and would love to help but trying to keep the price down as...
