Discontinued The Splinter by RBT

[cybrguy]

I have been staying in wattage mode but I think I may try TCR this weekend. The TCR settings are pretty mod specific aren't they rather than being mod independent? TCR and coil I guess.

 

[Hackerman]

I way prefer TCR mode. No pulsing. Pretty much the same results each time. And, once you get used to it, it's a breeze to skip back to wattage mode.

TCR of 169 and about 400F for me.... for now.

@cybrguy it's more of a chipset specific kinda deal. DNA is programmed on a software among a couple others, while others program it in the mod then there's the chips with like combo button attacks to activate lol

 

[cybrguy]

Yeah. I can't overexpress the desire I had to never have to get into the whole ecig mod world. But brother Ryan had other plans for me...

 

[TNT_error]

I was the opposite. I had a bunch of ecig crap laying around waiting to be sold until I saw these 510 vapes lol

I tend use the splinter using TRF over TCR for temperature control. Just feel it's a better method if your mod offers it.

Basically the mods isn't reading the temperature but the resistance change to the heater wire as wattage is applied and the wire heats up.

Lets say that your using 316L SS for heater coil. TCR you using a line to decided how the it's reading these change's based on just one value. With TRF using a curve that takes muti resistance changes and values into account. See example below. First row of numbers is temperature second is the expected resistance change.

Problem is theres no real standard even within the same material one company 316 SS might read different than another company 316 ss depending on material quality. Add things like mica and mesh heater really finding the proper resistance values to enter becomes more of a pain.

In terms of the basket screen fit inside the stems- is the rim of the basket supposed to sit flush with the rim of the stem? Is it expected that it will stick out a little (a couple of mm). Both of my screens do this.

Nott a fan of the screens that come with the splinter. On Amazon you can by 15 good top hat screens that have a metal ring that pushes flush with the glass. Makes it way easier to stir or dump out loads. They are only 9.99.

Thank you for that @Lazy Lighting. They dont seem to ship to the UK, but im sure i can find something similar!

 

[Hogni]

Look around, so-called "rimmed basket screens" you will find everywhere.

 

[Hippie]

Try searching for crystal pipe screens or crystal pipe mesh

 

[Hackerman]

Or, just smash flat the ones that came with it.

Mine didn't fit right either but a little smashing and it was fine.

Tip: Don't use the glass stem to smash with. I used a small metal tube (actually, a bong stem. LOL)

 

[Megaton]

These look right or these are cheaper (but have no confirmed size)

So i need to make sure the screens that came with it fit flush before attempting to use it?

@RastaBuddhaTao has talked from time to time about coming up with some kind of capsule basket. I hope with the China initiative he's freed up to focus more on accessories.

 

[cybrguy]

I think if the screens aren't flush they may damage the heater screen, so flush is better.

 

[Megaton]

About the screen- i already seem to have a littlw black spot where it appears some herb has fallen onto it and burned in- a gentle scraping hasn't shifted it, would a bit of iso on a cotton bud be ok/ do the trick?

 

[cybrguy]

Personally I wouldn't worry about it. I have a dark spot too, probably from a combustion event. Doesn't effect anything it's just cosmetic. Being inside the joint I don't really notice it.

 

[KeroZen]

That PAM thing... is puzzling. It ends up being the same size as a Zion more or less... so unless we're getting a DNA250(C) board in the process, what's the point/advantage vs a real Zion?

Nobody corrected me but in fact I was completely wrong. The PAM is a Splinter with two exposed electrodes instead of a 510 base. This is much more interesting as it could be potentially soldered directly to a DNA board or any other regulator.

Well...unless I'm completely off-track once again heh!

I have one. You're spot on this time.

Various experiments ongoing.

There's a @RastaBuddhaTao approved PAM community over on 420vapezone, but a lot of the activity is in private messages.

Is anyone here using cruise mode with Splinter &, if so, how long do you have it engaged for?

Personally with how easy is to just press one button I won't bother with it

I use DNA250C Replay mode. Not exactly the same thing but similar. Can keep it engaged for 30 seconds easily. Nothing like the Milaana experience of pulsing. Automatic transmission verses gears and clutch.

Listen everyone, Ryan just put up published a IG stream. I tuned in late, but it was chock full of informative stuff specifically in regards to glass stems so I encourage you to watch it. I have to watch it again for the 1st 1/2 that I missed.

OK, I'm now confused. Just went to watch it & Ryan took it down. ??? Anyway, I'll keep checking.

 

[Hippie]

I generally use cruise mode to warmup the Splinter or about 30 seconds then switch over to manual temp control to save battery power.
I've run it for 5min cruises with no issues too but I think Ryan has said not to run the heater constantly for that long so I've stopped doing that

Isn't a preheat of 30 secs a long time in terms of overheating the weed? And what do you do for subsequent hits? I believe @AJS preheats for 10 sec on the initial hit & subsequent hits are 1 to 2 sec. This is what I've been doing.
