Chapter 593: Second-hand blender
From this day on, even if Hong Tao has something to do, he has to draw a drawing first, not a rendering but a machining drawing. Pens, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info This thing is a little difficult for him, and he almost forgets all the things he learned in college.
But it doesn't matter, we can go back to my father's colleagues or students, there are always people who can draw. Take two good cigarettes, two bottles of good wine, and then sell your less successful work to sell your face, and the drawings will be completed in a week.
Then there were a lot of bottles and cans in his underground office, holding droppers and reagent bottles every day, wearing masks and goggles, like a second-hand chemist.
If you want to ask Hong Tao if he can adjust e-liquid, the answer is that he can be a fart. In later generations, he smoked vape, but the e-liquid was bought ready-made, but he paid attention to a few posts about mixing e-liquid, but he never made it himself, and he was completely a theorist.
Theorists also have the advantage of theorists, at least they know what the process is, it doesn't matter if the deployment ratio is not clear, let's try slowly, ten times if we don't succeed once, ten times if we don't succeed a hundred times, and we can always meet one or two times when we succeed.
Besides, this thing is not a too precise chemical formula, it is completely looking for texture and taste, and there is no theoretically fixed formula at all. Just like smoking tobacco, some people like flue-cured tobacco, some people like mixed tobacco, some people like light ones, and some people like cigar flavors. There is no one flavor that everyone will like, and the target customers are only part of the story.
However, there is still a job to be done before mixing e-liquid, which is to get a simple atomizer out first, otherwise how to know whether the e-liquid tastes good or not after it is adjusted.
To put it bluntly, it is a stainless steel heating wire, rolled into a spring-like heating ring, and a strip of cotton is threaded in the middle. After the cotton absorbs the e-liquid, as soon as the heating ring is energized, the e-liquid is evaporated into steam, and after inhaling it, it is the same as smoking smoke.
Propylene glycol has no taste, and vegetable glycerin is slightly sweet, but it is only slightly, which will definitely not meet the needs of smokers. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on food flavors to flavor and use pigments to adjust colors. It can be used to imitate the taste of tobacco or make it taste like coffee, anyway, the purpose is to make the e-liquid as easy to smoke as possible.
The role of nicotine is to help smokers enjoy themselves, people who want to use vape instead of tobacco, buy nicotine-containing e-liquid, and if they want to smoke and play with cool smoke rings, they will buy nicotine-free e-liquid, and each takes what he needs.
Hong Tao never made do with the problem of playing, and if he wanted to do it, he would do it high-level, so he specially smashed a high-voltage halogen bulb, took out the ceramic bowl for insulation, and used it as the base of the electric heating ring. It just so happens that there are two small holes in the ceramic bowl that pass through the filament, and now they are perforated by the poles of the heating wire.
According to the masters in the steam smoke circle in later generations, it tastes better to use ceramic as a base, because ceramic has stronger thermal insulation and heat preservation than metal. The boiling point of propylene glycol and glycerol is more than 100 degrees, and the temperature has a great impact on their vaporization concentration, which in turn will also affect the taste of the flavor.
Cotton is also easy to do, what I have at home is Zhang Yuanyuan's cotton pad, and I just cut one and wear it. There are no strict requirements for this thing, as long as there are no harmful substances on the cotton, the longer the fiber, the better the oil absorption effect.
It is not enough to have a base, an electric heating ring and cotton, but also to suck the smoke into the mouth, which requires a device to collect and collect the smoke, called a smoke bin or flue.
Since it is experimental equipment, Hong Tao does not pursue anything that looks good or not, and directly finds a stainless steel pipe that is thicker than his thumb, saws it into a small section one inch long, and welds a thinner stainless steel pipe at one end as a suction nozzle, and files two small openings at the other end as an air intake, and buckles it on the base.
When using, first drop the e-liquid onto the cotton, then buckle the flue, turn on the power, and start to snort. If the amount of smoke is small, increase the power, ten watts is not enough for 20 watts, and 20 watts is not enough for 30 watts.
Twenty watts of power is enough for most e-liquids, the power is too high, the temperature of the heating ring is too high, the amount of smoke is large, but the taste is light. The pursuit of power and large smoke is the way to play for vapour lovers, and they are not considered for the time being, but for those who quit smoking with steam cigarettes. This part of the population attaches great importance to the taste, and the amount of smoke is about the same.
In fact, the simple atomizer that Hong Tao got is an oil-drip atomizer, and later generations also have this kind of play, unscrew the atomizer after a few puffs, drip a few drops of e-liquid and smoke a few more. Because this atomizer does not need to store e-liquid, the structure is simpler, and the power it can withstand can be greater.
Many veteran players like to use a mechanical cigarette stick with an oil-drip atomizer, and when that puff of smoke comes out, there will be no one in sight in half the room. There are also smoke ring competitions in the world, and this kind of atomizer is also used, they don't want taste or anything, they only require the amount of smoke to be large enough and thick enough, so that they can spit out various shapes.
With the atomizer, you can start mixing e-liquid. At the beginning, Hong Tao chose the simplest flavor mixture, such as cream, coffee, vanilla, caramel, and mint, all of which belong to a single flavor, with ready-made flavors and no need to mix.
Only when you are proficient in these flavors can you use them to blend with each other to produce different new flavor types. Just like painting, red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors, and when you mix them with each other, you can change an infinite number of colors. What color you want depends on how to master the proportion of mixing, and now what Hong Tao is looking for is the proportion of a certain flavor.
“…… Hiss...... cough cough cough ...... Damn, there is too much coffee flavor, this Nima is about to catch up with traditional Chinese medicine!"
He carefully mixed a little bit of coffee-flavored e-liquid, then put it on the atomizer and turned it on and took a puff. This mouthful almost choked him to death, and his mouth was full of bitterness.
The dropper he used to quantify the flavor was obviously not precise enough, and he had to buy a thinner and more precise one. In addition, there are electronic scales, which must be accurate to the milligram level, otherwise the data from the test will not be used for large-scale production. Check one milligram now, and when the total amount increases, the difference will be one kilogram or more, and the taste will change completely.
Hong Tao was not idle here, and Diane was not idle, she did what she said, and dialed Jiang Zhuyi's phone number the day after leaving Hong Tao's house, and after reporting to the house, she asked Jiang Zhuyi to come out to meet, saying that there was something important to discuss.
