Correct. Most of the antennas appear to be ceramic blocks. Look for a small chip that has Ublox on it. That is the most common GPS receiver - for DIY projects anyway

I got the same menus on my Nuvi 51. The sat signal one is actually listed in the help file. There isn't a CPU in the device - it's all built into the GPS module.

@Raindance The GPS system works by measuring the time it takes for a signal to reach the receiver from each satelite. The receiver "knows" where each satelite is and can therefore work out by some very powerful magic where it is.

This is all about your personal experience with a vendor, and is the salesperson who attended (or didn't) attend to your needs. It holds true for any industry. If your salesperson was knowledgeable, helpful and made you feel good then your perception will be that that is a good vendor. Not all...

That is a bit strange because the Athena is a well built mod electrically speaking. I would first clean the contact point with some electrical cleaner (available from any electronics store). Spray some onto a piece of paper and slide the paper between the contact points while lightly pushing the...

The Capo has a serious design/manufacturing problem. Mine started auto firing, and then not firing. I eventually stripped it and the whole of the inside was wet with juice, which was NOT as a result of spillage or juice spilled on the mod. It was leaking from the bottom of the 510 connector and...

I agree. The 250ml beaker works for 100ml so that's what I will use for now. The steeping effect is brilliant. Nitecore says you can mix up to 200ml but I think that is being a bit optimistic!

Oh well, "skoolgeld" as they say. The concept is great, but the execution ........ I can still mix my 100ml batches but will do it in the bigger beaker until my local stockist gets the flasks into stock.

The flasks are no problem at a much better price. Ordering 1 stir bar is a PIA

Just a quick question - who carries stir bars in the Pretoria area?

I am mixing at max revs - 1200RPM. I transferred this mix to a 200ml beaker and it was fine. Obviously this beaker is wider. This would then have the same problem if I had 200ml in that beaker. I think that the wider stir bar might be a solution. I will also have a look at the Erlenmeyr flasks

How many people out there are using the Nitecore Mixer, and how efficient are you finding it? I noticed something strange last night and wonder if I have a faulty unit or am I doing something wrong. I put 70ml of VG in a 100ml beaker, set it to heat up to 70C ( just for a short while to thin the...

I ordered a mod and a fill bottle from them. 2 weeks from order to delivery. At the price - an absolute bargain!

Sorry! I was not concentrating and didn't read properly.

@Faraaz the DIY is going well. Of course there have been a bottle or 2 that ended up down the drain. I have reached the point where I am making fewer mistakes and have got about 12 flavours that I make that I like. That doesn't mean that anybody else will like them though! I have been told that...

@Faraaz I have the same problem. I sit and listen to people saying that they can taste this on the inhale and that on the exhale and so on. It's really very seldom that I taste what the description of the flavour says it should be. I've resigned myself to this and all that matters to me is...

Thanks @jm10. Just trying to help.

You can go by Voltage, but as you say Wattage without knowing the resistance is irrelevant, so is Voltage without knowing the resistance. part of the problem here is that Voltage is not something that you can generally set, and the chips in regulated mods do all sorts of magic with the Voltages...

The drain on the battery is expressed in Amps. With most mods the setting that you can change is Watts. The Voltage is determined by the chip in the mod and could be lower or higher than your actual battery voltage. Voltage is not normally something that you can adjust anyway. Voltage cannot...
