Namaste once again..
I always knew that i can count on this community..
I have also been checking out divine tribe, it seems this community loves it . Can anyone tell me how reliable ,and what kind of mantainenece these vapes will require,if i am going to use it only for shatter..i have solo and a Air for dry herb.
I am concerned more about reliability as i will be importing it to india and will never ever use warranty.thats y i love Solo, works like new even after 2 yrs
I have been using the same DT 2.5 and Atmos Kiln (same dang thing just rebranded) for about 5 months with no problem. They will build up residue after a while like any coil but they are easy to clean. Simply turn them upside down (with the mouthpiece removed) and run through a couple of high temp cycles and the reclaim will drip out (hopefully onto a silicone pad or container) and can be vaped. After doing this, a little ISO with gentle use of a Q-tip will clean it right up. If you want to really clean it, dump it in some 92% or higher ISO, let it sit, blow it out, let it dry COMPLETELY, then use.
I don't expect them to last for ever. I rather view ovens as consumable items but I seem to be getting a lot of use out of them and they don't cost that much.
Put it on the right box mod, and its a killer. You don't need the 100W mod I have, a 40W will do very nicely and I do think the Eleaf's are good product for a decent price.
Good mod these days has temperature control. Now, this is NOT a direct measurement of the temp in the oven. You can easily see that there is no signalling connection between the ceramic oven and the mod so how does it measure and control temp? Indirectly is the answer. There is something called the Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) which says that for any given metal heating element (and the core of the ceramic heaters is a metal coil) there is a curve of resistance versus temp that this particular metal will display. So, if you tell you TC mod to use Ni (nickel which is what DT recommends), it will continually measure resistance of the coil and compute an equivalent temp based on the TCR of the metal used and vary the power to maintain a set temp
I have used TC mode but I don't care what the objective temp is as I can use it as a pretty accurate control for relative temp (i.e. want it hotter or cooler in very small increments). Lately I have just been using it in variable wattage mode. Start out at about 11W for flavor and then step up to about 13W. 14W gets me a ripper.
Hope this helps.
