    Let’s talk about holes

    Many box mods come with no visible vent holes. Some vapers, including reviewers, seem to be concerned about that. In most cases, that concern is unwarranted.

  • Q&A: TC precision

    Q&A: TC precision

    What exactly does TC precision entail? Is a higher value more desirable, or lower? The TC precision number in the Wire Wizard is an attempt to describe how easily a mod can sense the temperature of a coil. A higher number means that you should have more precise temperature control.

  • Themes are back

    Themes are back

    I was originally planning to drop themes in the new version, because I figured no one was using them anyway. Then one user reminded me that there is an accessibility aspect to being able to change how the site looks. Good point. To change to one of the alternative themes, go to About, click Themes, […]

    The revamped version of the code has now replaced the old version. Now to spend the rest of the day pressing F5, waiting for bug reports to tick in. By the way, there’s a couple of brand new features in the coil calculator: New heat flux interface When I first made Steam Engine back in […]

    Q&A: Preset for fused Clapton coil in the Wire Wizard

    in the wire builder, could there be an additional area for a fused clapton? the clapton is there of course as is the staggered clapton but not the fused so its tough for new wire builders to figure out Yes, learning to use the Wire Wizard does require a bit of thought. In this particular […]

    Q&A: Will Steam Engine shut down at some point in the near future?

    No. There are rumors that I will take Steam Engine offline at some point in the near future (the exact point in time depends on when the assertion was made). Like most doomsday prophecies, this is baloney, hogwash, rubbish, etc. I just wanted to get that out there.

  • Q&A: Square wire

    Q&A: Square wire

    A square wire is a ribbon wire that has a width equal to its thickness. In other words, you can already use Steam Engine with square wires.

  • Better specific heat and density data for NiFe30

    Better specific heat and density data for NiFe30

    The only property of the coil materials that is essential to coil building, is the resistivity of the material. All the wires in Steam Engine need to have a precise resistivity number in order for the calculator to even work. For temperature controlled vaping, some type of data describing the relationship between temperature and resistance […]

    Q&A: Determine the material of prebuilt coils

    I have come across problems with non labled prebuilt coils. I have been using coil dimensions and its resistance to find the matierial. Which has been inaccurate. Is there a way I can do that with this site that’s more accurate? Could it be possible to add somethings similar to the site?

    New version of Steam Engine in the works

    As you may have noticed, there has not been much in the way of updates and new features in Steam Engine lately. To be honest, I was getting a little bit burned out on the project for a while. It didn’t help that the code was getting kind of big and unwieldy, and so the […]
