Big facts.

Also, no joke, I read the last few posts and have spit out my drink laughing enough times that my wife is concerned and annoyed.

How spectacular were the fireworks?

disappointing. some smoke started coming out, so i grabbed it by the corner quickly walked it outside and tossed it into the fire pit in the center of the back yard to finish doing whatever it was going to do. It did nothing. I had a beer and everything, but nothing happened.

Super disapointing, Iā€™m giving evolve a 4/10 on Yelp for terrible quality fireworks.

Fortunately for the venting enthusiasts theyā€™re using 18650s and even 21700s now.

Mini gas one $40aud apparently. I had the unfortunate opportunity to show him how to use what had. There isnā€™t a lot of light in his garage either. The tip was loose. He dropped it once and the gland nut that clamps the tip down broke so he tapped it on.

No. Two were at 0v one was at 0.5v. the rest varied between 3.69 - 4.44. was complaining about the range.

#35

He cut it out. Trying to recover it.

I appreciate your solid advice

ah yes, the glass tube type. i had the same one. yea thatā€™s a fuse alright, but the solder at the backā€¦doesnā€™t even look like solder anymore, its like aluminium foil ball :joy:

glass tube fuses have no business in esk8 outside of chargers.

Thanks for giggles guys.
For those playing at home, it was an evolve GTR pack he made fit under the gt deck. He mangled it up instead of buying an aftermarket one for less money because evolve used afterpay and as a photographer he has hand skills so it would be a great solution. I was trying to help him out maybe something could be saved. But yeah Iā€™m going with ā€˜sorry mate sheā€™s fuckin fuct.ā€™
Expensive mistake. He wants to cut it up further and make a 10s 2p. But says he doesnā€™t have the tools. Implying I should do it.
Yeah nah.
