The Black Oak Mod had extensions like that. They worked really well and looked super classy with the wood trim. I'm not married to my current mod and I'm just waiting for the makers of the Herc to show me their vision.
If you do end up with the Greenlight unit after your fight with Greenlight/Paypal, I can modify it to run an SSR(I have 2 extras from my build) and add a coil switch and a fuze if you like. I'd just charge for the parts and shipping plus maybe a domestic 6-pack for the labor. I built my E5CC...
I was looking at the LED ring and I thought it was super familiar in the Arduino world. I think I can list a fairly complete parts list for this device.
Arduino - An R3 is more than powerful enough. Plus it runs at 5V
Bluetooth LE
Some type of SSR. Arduino has the voltage and current to...
I really wanted a cartridge heater with a thermocouple at the tip that I could fit into my old Sublimator head. I could throw together a quick Raspberry Pi or Arduino to control the relay and display. The Pi needs some Voltage level increases to control the SSR, but that's trivial in the long...
Watching Terpy Tuesday led me to go buy a Bates x Worm diffusion Pump last week. I was sick of lusting after one, so I pulled the trigger at a local shop that had 2. Now I need a Liger 3.0 setup and that new Vape handle. At least I have until October for the 3.0. I had thought about trying...
I use my for concentrates only. It's got amazing taster. I paid around $500 for mine and looking back at it, I'm okay with that price even if the Grav Labs is cheaper and identical. I'd buy a Grav if I could find one locally, but I just haven't ran into one in the wild. I'll end up buying one...
I just grabbed the original Bates x Worm version and I absolutely love it. The GAS was killing me, but now it's all cleared up. Ordering a variety of drop downs now to make it function even better.
I always used soft jaw pliers on my Sublimator parts and they never led to scratching. Just be careful not to squeeze as hard as you can. That's how I always mess up and do damage.
I don't think I saved any money by building my enail, but I have a better Omron PiD and I am not afraid to make mods and changes. I was in at around $100 before I built a custom case.
After my first use of PBW, I couldn't figure out why I ever used alcohol and salt before. For my really big pieces I line the bottom of a 5 gal bucket with sponge and use that.
In my youth as a engineer in training, I was encouraged to take everything apart. To this day I always open all of my devices and do all of my more intensive repair work on my car and house. I forced myself to build my own controller so that I wouldn't waste my engineering degree like I do as...
You might be able to do a quick rewire on your controller to go to a two switch setup. I used one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N41D5Z4/ to input power and be my main power switch.
