APIWATW Challenge- Closes 01/31/2019 (15 Prizes Available)

[KingPin!]

personally I would dry burn the coil (clean) or just change it out.. it looks a little crusty

whachoo sayin bout ma build foo?

Let’s put it down to the light ...it looks nastier in the pic that it does in person

 

[~Don~]

can do ...would like to know more anyway cause I’ll probably need to fix it haha

That’s not specifically on the list though

There have been reports of the contact not being bent correctly where one would have to really press said button to get it to fire...and the eventual taking apart and finagling to get said fire button correct, only to bend it slightly out of square and then over time arcing.

Just something I remember reading a while back... no idea if it was remedied or if its a non-issue these days.

Thanks mate I’ll keep an eye on that

APIWATW #17 KingPin! Edition

Build Info-
Mod- Furyan mechanical Squonker
Atomizer- 24mm Deathtrap RDA
Build - 0.12ohm chunky bastard
Battery- Ijoy 5 legged 20700, Samsung 30Q
Eliquid- N/A

Issues-
1. Torn wrap 20700 (Nadalama)
2. Coil touching the deck (Choderfett)
3. Squonk Pin not installed (Choderfett)
4. 30q does not have the CDR to support the coil resistance safely (Doomsday Vaper)
5. No wick or liquid (Choderfett)
6. No 18650 adaptor (Choderfett) risk using torn 20700
7. 20700 is underrated for this resistance ...wrapper is wildly overrated ...we just don’t know (Choderfett)
8.


Subjective- maintanence
1. 30Q has seen better days (huckleberried) needs heating back down and it’ll be fine (~Don~)

just throwing it out there to see if it sticks.. LOL

Didnt mean to offend in any way

That gold cap battery cap/ squonk bottle screw cap doesn't look like the right one for that mod. The ones for the mod have little handles on them that pop down so you can screw them on.

edit: just realized thats the inside of the cap and that is how it looks. nevermind.

EDIT 2: The battery chamber does not look like it is original to the mod. The one that comes with the mod has a carbon fiber look and unless I'm going crazy that is not a carbon fiber look. Maybe stainless steel?

EDIT 5,982: I'm really grasping at straws here.

 

[88ArDeN88]

Alright, I can't edit that original post again without feeling like a complete moron, so I won't. New post new me. Anyways. That coil does not look to be crafted out of material suitable for vaping. It's brown, yet it doesn't look like copper. Not sure. It doesn't seem to be dirty, because the wrap isn't dirty or burnt from pulsing.

 

[choderfett]

The wrap on the 30Q looks jacked.

not sure if re-wrapping the 30Q 18650 was accounted for.

EDIT: It was, in the subjective portion.

Ok ok hands up I overheated the coil when cleaning it.... it’s not on the list but you and choderfett picked up on it sooooo there’s that

The cores are stainless steel ...I’d chuck that coil before vaping on it now ...it’s tainted and will taste like ass if used

It was pretty once

...took me bloody ages braiding it ...my first go at a slentre braid...was nicer when first mounted

 

[KingPin!]

2 left peeps .....one obvious one and one not so obvious one which is sort of related to something mentioned earlier

 

[Vape Fan]

How do you like that 24mm death trap for flavor and dripping?

Such a pretty coil, you should name it the Rapunzel Braid.

 

[KingPin!]

it’s alright mate, looks nice for coil shots, machining is glorious ...but it’s a clouds rda first and foremost... to be honest wouldnt make my top 10 flavour RDAs ...having said that still feel I could fine tune it but I prefer using others.

The 30mm is more fun and considering the airflow Makes better use of it with the gargantuan coils you can run ....foggy is understatement

love it...so shall it be done!

[MrMeowgi]

Are we looking for the firing issue these have?

I never had an issue with one. The other two I fixed I believe weren't put together correctly. Just some adjustments

 

[choderfett]

I really cant figure out whats else there is..
the batter cap looks a little different (has four additional holes) then the one i seen online - maybe this was a updated version for venting. *shrug*

Other than that i hope your not looking for something like:

• the batteries are facing the wrong way since negative should be down or
• airflow is closed..

Your close mate keep drilling on that theme connect the two dots there...airflow doesnt matter cap is off

 

[choderfett]

• The lower dual air hole are just 3.5 mm above deck making it not ideal for dripping.. we’ll just be careful of over dripping..
• At .12ohms the draw is 35amps. While vaping in short bursts is almost certainly not a problem, but with longer continuous draw that is over the battery's safe limit. That could lead the battery venting/exploding. Basically .12 ohms is way too low and you got damaged battery’s skins that makes it even dangerous.

Which battery?

 

[choderfett]

Which battery?

18650 30q which has 4.2v fully charged (30A).. amps exceed the law of 35 amps..

already spotted that one

 

[choderfett]

already spotted that one

Then it must be the IJOY 5 leg!! Same theory with ref from mooch below..

Mooches comment on that battery:
This is an overrated 20700 cell (20mm diameter x 70mm length) that performs well but not quite as well as the Sanyo NCR20700A. Its appearance is similar to the Panasonic/Tesla cell, with its 5-leg top contact, but I cannot confirm that this is indeed the Panasonic cell. There are differences in the top crimp seal and tooling marks.

This iJoy uses a multilayer paper top ring insulator that should not be exposed to juice or otherwise it could swell and soften, possibly increasing the risk of the insulator being damaged when put into or removed from a device or charger.

I am rating this iJoy at 30A and 3000mAh.

 

[KingPin!]

Gonna give you that one well done mate

The thing is with this cell is we don’t know which version it is ...the wrapper is widely overrated there have been multiple revisions and the latest version is only 20amp CDR

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/t...sion-of-this-battery-hugely-overrated.876371/

As such mooch lists the lowest rating of the lot now for the 5 legged contact - re- wraps can change at any time

I happened to buy the earlier ones but I don’t really know if it’s any good probably best not to use it and go for an OEM at that resistance

 

[KingPin!]

1 left folks ...choderfett was on the right track earlier ....don sort of mentioned it as well yesterday.... just need to connect the dots

 

[choderfett]

Furyan has firing button issues
“nut on the 510 pin is slightly off so that the contact in the button will not hit it flush...”

“nut on the 510 pin is slightly off so that the contact in the button will not hit it flush...”

Why’s that an issue? let’s drill down on that one

 

[88ArDeN88]

The copper plate that makes the connection with the firing button is stretched too far back and may not make a connection when the firing button is pressed.

EDIT: Could cause some arcing and make the button heat up and burn yo fingers

True ...with maintanence I could fix that issue so lets put that one down to an extra subjective not on the list

In the meantime what about button if it’s janky and more specifically the lock button ...take a look back at the contact

Looks like even with the lock switch in the up position which should prevent the mod from firing, it very well could still fire and maybe start a fire in your pocket.

On the right path now ...how does that relate to the contact in the pic ?

 

[88ArDeN88]

The battery contact? Causing your battery to heat up and burning that battery contact. That's why it looks so messed up. Not dirty, it's damaged.

Thats what I was saying. It looks like there is some arcing in the battery chamber that is causing that damage to the negative contact of the battery chamber so I'm assuming that is from the switch being in the up position and still making contact you got some battery sparkage.

 

[KingPin!]

It’s nothing to do with the dirty mark on the contact that just needs a clean

But if this was gonna go cause of a short or janky button getting stuck .....

Dude i'm stumped.

 

[88ArDeN88]

The battery? I've been harping on the battery all along here lol. Burnt cotton and coil from the button getting stuck which is why your perdy coil looks like its made out of brass?

 

[~Don~]

Remember reading about the battery rattle on these also...where the threaded contact just wouldn't snug some batteries, and also some batteries were to long for it to sit flush... where you could place the mod on a table and it would rock about.

Want to close this one? You know the answer and this ends tomorrow so no need to create another challenge for closing it.

Once this one is wrapped up we are going to put up the final challenge and go nuts. have a really, really good one.

I don't think I can do that. I don't know what a brony is and my fragile ego can't take it if it is something really terrible. You guys have already been schooling me in humility with these challenge items.

Edit: I'm a little brony
