Post a pic of your Noisy Cricket setup

[CeeJay]

Just a random pic of your Noisy Cricket. After all, no matter what gear you have be it low end or high end most of us have a NC in our collection somewhere. I've had a few. My 'work' device is a NC V2 and I swear it's been on construction sites, fallen out the bakkie, thrown in my tool box, been on overhead lines while raining and it just keeps WORKING. I.must admit that sometimes I'm a bit embarrassed when vaping around clients because it has loooots of character but my lungs don't mind. Really solid and basic mod that does what it needs to.

I like this thread @CeeJay

I never had a NC but feel some FOMO now after reading your post !

So where is your pic? Interested to see the character you are speaking of.

@Silver I've just been noticing a lot more guys including it in their desk/hand checks.

I knew this would get moved, the whole regulated/mech argument.

First of all this is an embarrassment of a mod. I just got tired of scratching up my good stuff. This became the Cinderella step child mod in the family. With a set of 30Q's and a SkyClone holding a 0.3ohm build I get 2 days out of it. I only use it in parallel mode.


Would be awesome if somebody brought in some silicon sleeves for these.

@CeeJay isn't the Cricket a mech? I moved the thread.

 

[CeeJay]

The V2 has a voltage regulator, it's a semi mech. Which I suppose is regulated. But most consider it a mech. There's always a ton of arguments between the guys. I couldn't be bothered. Let's leave it here to include the V1 guys as well which is the series mech version (the one that scares me)

Also my never say die Mods, Noisy V2's for the win.

They not that scary if you get to know them

I have to say my noisey cricket hits harder than most cos it’s covered in carbon fiber so that is added performance

QUOTE="Puff the Magic Dragon, post: 511948, member: 2148"]You can buy a large sheet of carbon fibre look wrap from Midas. Mine lasted for over a year on a RX 200 before one edge began to curl. Really easy to cut out and stick. I covered the whole black mod but later added the red front cover. The sheet could cover many mods and was relatively cheap.

Just wanted to know from the NC V2 users, what has been the optimal resistance to build for regulated parallel, regulated series and unregulated series respectively?

I've been following the general guide of:
0.4 ohms- unregulated series
O.2- 0.3 ohms - regulated series
<0.2 ohms - parallel

You’re in the right parameters with those resistances @Seemo.wm

Nice and safe amp wise

 

[CeeJay]

Those are safe, conservative resistances. When in series, both regulated and unregulated I aim for 0.35 ohms. Parallel I run it as I would a tube mech 0.08-0.1 ohm.
