Bumpedy Bump - Vape Mail!

[ShaneW]

Go to any electronic shop and buy 1% 1/4W resistors ie. 1.2, 1.5, 1.8 & 2.2 Ohms, maximum 20c each and see which one gives you the closest reading to the particular resistor value

You lucky you in a decent town. Here they are 50c. R15 for for 16V cap. R10 for a 2N3904??

I desperately needed a 1k resistor the other day in mthatha... R5! And I had to dig for 5 mins in an ice cream box full off all sorts to find it. Still beat driving 220km home to find one.

I can tell you right now the svd just like all other innokin products gives a lower reading avg is 0.2 ohms sometimes up to 0.4 ohms. This is compared to my fluke multimeter. I compared @Riaz ohms meter (looks like yours) and it gave rhe same reading as the fluke so it is pretty accurate. The fluke only displays one digit after the comma though but I would alwaya favour it.

Did you take the resistance of your leads into consideration?

Fluke meters are factory adjusted to take the leads into consideration. That's why if you use non-fluke leads on it you have to have it re-calibrated.

If that is the case then my meter vs SVD is with in range with the difference being only 0.13ohms

I've heard that before but my fluke measures 0.2 ohm when I touch leads together (original leads) but they are about 5 yrs old. Does yours say 0.0 when you do this?

I have a brand new fluke... never used. Just did the same and it measures 0.1 ohm.

Here it is guys and girls. Just a little post on the forum in between birthday celebrations to keep the honorable fines master @Rob Fisher at bay. I will post more on the rest of my Vape Mail as I find time.
Stingray clone, Nano kit with may kayfun, coloured tank section to go with the copper look and stingray drip tip.
I call it "Frankie aka Franken Vape"

Looks awesome! And you just missed a fine!

 

[Rob Fisher]

They are nominated for fines, @Rob Fisher, Fines Master, Sir.

It's been a busy day and I missed some of the action... and seeing there is a nomination from our main man we don't even have to go to the jury... it's pretty much a case of do not pass go do not collect R200 but rather time to pay the piper! So @shabbar and @RezaD it appears that it is fine time for you boys!


And the sentence is... <drum roll>...

PS Welcome to the family... I don't think either of you have been fined yet?

next time just pm me - they are robbing you!

Lol. That's the problem when there's only 1 electronics store in town. For our store we order from mantech or RS but it's the uncommon ones that we get shafted on

 

[johan]

That's the main reason I'm importing components for the past 10+ years, cause even the big suppliers in Gauteng are nailing everybody on the uncommon components.

Wowzers Batman Frankie Sauce! That would make my vape complete.

told you so

A big vape gear and vape mail day indeed.

@Tom, wishing you all the best in vanilla land

@vaalboy all the best on the copper vein REO.

@Rob Fisher that Woodvil looks so interesting. As I said to you before the side firing button seems very nice to use. Wish u many pleasurable menthol ice refills. Enjoy

@Spiri, Frankie looks so good. Wish u well with it.

And to all the others who got vape mail, enjoy your toys and accessories.

That looks sick as tits

And congrats to all you other dudes with the mail of vapes.

 

[Spiri]

Here is the rest of my vape mail (with previously posted pics) as promised.
I will do reviews when I have had some time to get to know Frankie and the gang better.
Super stoked with all the new bling things!

Trident Dripper, Nitecore 4 bay charger, Clear tank for Kayfun, Kayfun nano body kit, Kayfun coloured sections, Variable wattage Kick, Mixed Stingray Clone, Stingray style Drip tip, Vicious Ant style Chaplin drip tips (gold & silver) & assorted Vape King Juices.

The Stingray is a teeny little fellow in 350 mode!

[Alex]

@Spiri that Stingray clone mod is really cool

 

[Spiri]

Thanks @Alex , I love too. Thus far I have found no fault on it. The threads are superb and with all tubes put together there are no visible seams. The floating pin works wonderfully and the magnetic switch has given me no problems yet. But I will find fault in due time though.

It was just a matter of time ....... once again I would like to thank @johan for this.....knew my tourettes would get me in the sticky once again.....

So are you guys saying I could have phrased my question more eloquently?

Never mind I'll just pay the fine your honour!?? The problem with being on the edge is you are bound to step over it now and again.......right where the spietkops are waiting! I'm sorry Mr Occifer..... Busted

 

[RezaD]

Fine paid boss!!!

Now where is that Mr Loverman?

 

[RezaD]

I've heard that before but my fluke measures 0.2 ohm when I touch leads together (original leads) but they are about 5 yrs old. Does yours say 0.0 when you do this?

I have a brand new fluke... never used. Just did the same and it measures 0.1 ohm.

Sometimes it helps to open my big fat mouth............

You sir have been most helpful. You are 100% correct. My meter is showing a resistance of between 0-0.3 Ohms (it fluctuates) I have not checked it since it was last calibrated about 2 years ago. Definitely need to have it done.

Not sure if I should be entering a coiling competition with an uncalibrated meter. Makes me wanna fluke!!!

It was already a long shot now what am I to do? @ Matthee what device will be used to measure the results?

Mind you it will be cheaper to buy that ohm meter than to calibrate a fluke!

 

[johan]

@ShaneW your Fluke should read 0,0 Ohms when you touch the leads together - if there is not something wrong with the leads themselves, then I think you should clean the sockets on the fluke and the jacks on the leads.

"... once again I would like to thank @@johan for this ..."
It's my absolute honour @RezaD

[Riaz]

@Spiri that stringray looks awesome man!

@BhavZ my svd and ohms meter readings are the same, making provision that the SVD only gives a 2 digit reading whereas the ohms reader gives 3 digits.

so the svd sort of rounds up to the nearest figure if one might say so

ive tested this time and time again
