Hey Dogs, just finishing up a long week in the shop (not that I don't work weekends too lol) and thought I'd catch up on answering some missed posts.. Our experience has been the opposite, sanding square pieces off the lathe takes us 2-3 times longer than a round Dog on the lathe. Maybe if I...

Haha.. I know what you mean it can be near impossible to find stuff if you don't know which search words to use. We actually used to stock these on the website for DIY troubleshooting tools (see if power is being delivered to Dog, etc) but people didn't buy them so we stopped. :shrug: It's...

Nice writeup! I've had decent luck with these both for visual (approximate) power level indicators and as a tool to verify that power supplies are working. It might work for your needs too. http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/82-12680

Happy to be of service! Yeah those remote dimmers would be perfect if they just had some kind of visible output display.

Nope no way that can happen as long as the voltage stays at 12v.. current can't increase without voltage increasing as well. :tup:

@6079Smith @Snappo @Stevenski All you guys are right to an extent but as with many things the reality isn't entirely straightforward. When a Dog is first powered up the heating element reaches operating temp in a very short time, less than 30 seconds but the rest of the core and surrounding...

We did.. it was clearly a good name for that Pup!

I've made some bigger Dogs over the years.. some so big they needed casters on the bottom to roll around and had to be used with whips. :o

Thanks Madcap it was our pleasure! Alright Dogs I've got another hour or two of work I have to get in tonight and then I'll be (mostly) unplugging for the weekend and will be back on Monday. :rockon:

Will do!

@Snappo - I'll make sure Underdogette holds on to one for you! @Stu - You got it!

September should be fun, since it's the 5 year mark from our going all-in with UD it'll be our biggest sale to date. Good times should be had by all. :brow: My pleasure man, I like working with the Hackberry, it's always unique and pretty. :cheers: You could probably save yourself a few...

Ah! Suddenly everything makes sense.. :D Yeah the extension cords do have a slight 'dimming' effect since they drop the voltage a little bit, the longer the cord the more the drop. You can definitely stack multiple cords to get more and more drop, no problem there. The above said a dimmer is...

I can't think of any benefit to using 2 dimmers since even a single one has more than enough capacity to easily run an UD, ie there is little to no wear and tear on the dimmer. Have you thought about picking up a cheap VVPS on eBay or Amazon, etc to last you until you get your fancy VVPS?

Looks like a good setup there dude. Where'd you get the remote system? Price? Your UD should draw less than 1 amp so you're running that thing nice and light.

Yep one of those should work just fine.. I've actually purchased a number of them off eBay and have been using them in-shop for the last 6 months to a year. :tup: That's the best way to go to maximize your UDs lifespan. Alternatively like Snappo mentioned you can run it at a lower standby...

Yep, they can be plugged in 24/7 no problem. It will of course add to the wear-n-tear on the vape but if that fits your usage needs it's all good.

Funny you should mention that dude.. we just switched over to a new process of making both the Direct Draw glass stems (both sizes) and shorty GonGs that should see the quality and durability improve. They should have better cut ends (more square and consistent) and a significantly better/more...

Hi subway, What you're describing isn't uncommon with newer Dogs since we've boosted the heat output right to the limit. The dimmer turned all the way on will be close to or a little lower temp than the wall-wart alone. You should be able to drop your temps to a more tame level by adjusting it...

Thanks man, we're happy to be able to offer it! :tup:
