High Five coil arrived from @PlanetVape , ordered Friday AM delivered a few minutes ago!
Coil slips in easily and falls out just as easily...
Going to have to spend some time with it to get that "intimate connection" going.
Even if i just hammered the 2 points to retain the heater there is...
Check my earlier post... Shows all sides and only one pocket on left.
Pretty simple to me...
My unit
@Mister G SV4
Other side again...
It's not rocket science...
Not sure, I was very specific in explaining how I look at them and orientate the pocket.
It's technically not left or right handed but the side the pocket is on does make it easier for righties if it is on the right.
No worries it will work as intended, I just ask too many questions...
I have...
I have been looking at all the SV4 posts on here and other forums and have to say that i have a Unicorn!
If you look at EVERY single image posted of the SV4, you will notice that the flat coil pocket is on the right hand side. Every single picture.
I emailed Ed about it and his short answer was...
@villekille2
Can the new helios be used upside down without the glass cover?
I know @kimura had his set up to be direct draw utilizing the MiniVap Flexicones, not really a whip kind of guy.
Upside down would just be for the duration of a hit, around 15 to 20 seconds.
Unfortunately the pics...
@Boden
The Venus is actually a microchip controlled vape with LOTS of technology inside!
They use Halogen bulbs as well.
As for the pressure switch(?) i was more thinking along the lines of a small micro switch that will turn the light on when placed on the bowl. It can be outside the heat...
Now i remember another detail!
@JCat mentioned he tuned his PID and set it to -55F, IIRC... That could allow for a slower coil heat up.
That last video was sweet!!
That was from Ed, I just added the video for fun!
He says he tests everything before shipping to ensure 100% function but once it crosses the border something happens to it. Apparently he has sent some internally and they arrived working.
So no electronics to Canada.
I am 100% confident in the...
The original videos had a TC, it is built into the coil.
All that was done, to my knowledge was the cut those two wires and place them in the original probes position. All this means is that the heat is measured at the tube and not at the coil.
Since heat takes a while to travel, +-90 seconds...
Apparently once anything crosses into the Great White North, this happens...
I have ordered a PID from China and one from the States, both arrived carefully packed and in 100% working order. I am inclined to think it is the actual controller that is the problem.
Absolutely zero information on...
That is what i get from it but do not understand what the first post says totally, just dont want to misunderstand what is going on.
There is talk of disconnecting the coil as well, that confused me.
Coil now reads temp at the same location as the original.
Would this not overload the coil...
I like the rewiring! LOL!
I noticed that your coil seems to glow hotter in one area, why do you think that happens?
It will be impossible to see on the SV4 due to the metal cover.
Oops!! I was still pissed off about wasting a week...
Yes, you are correct! The flat coil from PV made by High Five.
I do not really plan on adding a thermometer like the SV3 has but using it to find my setting on the PID only. Just need to find the range that suits my needs the best and then...
