WillBlack got a reaction from texassmokes in Heatvape Mini 50w Mod With Temp. Control
There is also this reasonably priced alternative.

The advantages are a spring loaded 510 pin, inbuilt charging and venting. Note venting will help to keep the chip assembly running cooler.

Seems nice, the reviewer though is a twit.

WillBlack got a reaction from HOOKER in How low do you go ? 50? 40 ? 30?
Great batteries are dirt cheap these days. Use them, abuse them, replace them. In my old 'Evercool', a stacked mod, I'd often drag one cell down to ~2.2V.
Codling batteries in hopes of getting a few more cycles out of them is not for me.

WillBlack got a reaction from vaping_jake in Sony VTC are unicorns ?
I always find amusing all this Sony battery love. Sony is just a bit player in worldwide sales and when it comes to 18650s has the absolute worst safety record. No company has had to recall more 18650s (10+M) or dispose of more tainted inventory (43M) than the troubled, has been Sony.
Good, safe batteries come from manufacturers with prime manufacturing facilities and impeccable QC. Farming out the 'recipe' to various unknown manufacturers don't cut it.
The first IMRs on the scene were made by MOLI, they could only be found in Milwaukee cordless tool packs. No direct sales. AW then jumped in with their AW IMR18650/1600mAh/24A continuous cell. Still the beast in it's class.
BTW the top tier cordless tool makers all use Samsung HD batteries now. Milwaukee, Bosch, and Hitachi. Dewalt uses both Samsung and Sanyo. Makita at one time did use Sony.

This is freakin hilarious. Listen to the music in the background.

With a lot of knock off VTC's out there I'm going to stick with my Samsung 25r's and I want to give the LG a try too.A trip to Japan sounds exciting,I've never traveled outside of the US

WillBlack got a reaction from GeorgeF in Leaving Batteries on Charger overnight?
Contain the heat? That makes no sense at all. Unless used with a hobby charger those LiPO bags should be avoided.
This is how they are meant to be used, batteries only in the bag..
Here's a thermal pic of a Nitecore charger.
You can see we have some temps at ~125°F. These chargers need plenty of ventilation, they need to be able to dissipate heat, not 'contain' it. I can't imagine how hot these would get shoved into some insulated bag.

The silica does the job. Thanks for including it, makes for a good reference point..

WillBlack reacted to Earthling789 in Need a new electric mod
If you're planning to use the Kanger Sub, the limits are 30W, so if you're looking for something slimmer/smaller, and don't need 100+ Watts... Perhaps you may consider the IPV-mini (30W) or IPV-mini2 (70W). The former is $50, and the latter is the newest version, releasing tomorrow for $70, available from Vape Royalty at the best price I've seen so far.

WillBlack reacted to Earthling789 in Can anyone, without any spoilers please, recommend for or against the movie 'Lucy'?
It wasn't bad... worth renting... It was well done with cool effects, but I feel they could have done better with the ending.

WillBlack reacted to Bebop in How much juice do you use in a week?
Roughly 15ml......I know, lightweight,lol. I only vape as a substitute for smoking and I don't vape for the sake of vaping so that's enough for me.

WillBlack got a reaction from jasonculp in What is voltage drop?
It wasn't really a test of the mod's voltage drop.
Here's a pic of Field of Vapors tester and results.
What he's pressing is one of Zen's mechs. The load is .5Ω. Assuming that the meter and load is accurate we see an interesting result.
Using 3.51V and .5Ω in a calc we get 7.02A, but the thing has measured the amps at 6.6. There is a difference of .42A. Can we safely assume that the mod itself has actually sucked up nearly half an amp? Can we say that the mod itself has a parasitic resistance of .03Ω?
I like this test, at least for the voltage drop part of the the actual mod itself.
He messes up on the amps though he should be adding the 0.04 that his meter is showing at rest.

It's not a big deal.
Thanks for taking time to reply.

WillBlack got a reaction from spydre in Chrome problems
And?
For one Chrome's spell checker puts all others to shame. It doesn't just check individual words, it checks them in context, e.g. there vs. their, where vs. were vs. ware etc. I can also easily keep track of my 2 separate Google Voice accounts/phone numbers from my main account. And the fast voice search works well.
Don't need you to tell me which browser I should use. No is this forum area meant for your browser, fanboi insights.

WillBlack reacted to Bebop in For You Guitarists, Or Musicians At All, Out There...
This might be of mild interest to you haha
But I have come full circle in my days. I think there should be a "slowest " contest out there. Petrucci is great as well as a dozen other speed guys. But I still relish the slow melodic solos of Gilmore, Gary Moore and others...
