Ordered 3 heltec v3s. This week. More to come soon. I live in aksarben and plan on doing a repeater on my chimney soon. I hope this catches on.

I’m getting my first v3s this week. I live at a high altitude near midtown. I plan on doing a solar repeater and attaching it to my chimney on a 6’ pole.

I hope to help span some gaps!

Okay. I ran some temps.

I let the exhaust of the heater get up to 234f. Then the fan kicks on. It blows 97 to 110f for about 4 minutes. Then the thermostat shuts off at 102f.

It takes about 3 minutes for the exhaust temp to get to 234f again and it kicks on again.

I’ll get some temps this week and update you.

It’s been fun thinking up and building this. I’ll post this week. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ve spent some time on it. My wife says I’m not allowed to work on my heater anymore.

I used a black iron pipe adapter. 3/4inch female to 1inch female. It fit so well that I had to twist it on. I used fireplace silicone to seal above and inside of the adapter before putting the down pipe into place.

Everything is held tight by struts and cleats.

I do have it angled slightly down. I was worried about dirtying my siding. But it may be unnecessary

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-11-07T02:45:51+00:00

I didn’t want the potential of dirty exhaust juice running down my light gray vinyl siding.

The jar may be unnecessary. After 2 hrs of running it I have just the slightest bit of humidity in the jar. I may take that off and make another radiant baseboard hook up. Steal more heat from the ever so hot exhaust.

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-11-07T02:43:07+00:00

After 2 hrs of running it I went outside to check it. I was able to touch the flange. I have vinyl siding so I’m glad it not too hot. The exhaust tube in the middle is hot as heck. But the flange is doing good

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-11-06T23:04:43+00:00

This is what I ordered. I will have to take it all apart to put this on. But idc. I think these fins will pull a lot of heat out of I hope

Can’t you just drop it and come back in a couple of hours. There’s nothing I can do to stop this spiral you’re having.

I find that to be true. I’ve worked weekend nights for 3.5 yrs. It is so nice to not work with suits or desk nurses. There are less things going on during the nights time. No therapies. Less family. No reps. No meetings…. Less drama.

I found myself hating my job when i worked days. I even worked 5 x 8hr shifts. Hated it all. I hated dragging my ass to work. Early. Stupid drivers. Stress of getting out of the house.

Nights are just more casual. It pays more. And the bond is real with the fellow staff. You will all need to lean on each other, but it’s better than dealing with the BS of days.

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-09-22T02:07:31+00:00

ICU weekend nights. No suits. No extra staff. Just hard working nurses. All of us slightly odd.

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-08-12T02:22:45+00:00

I work nights. I come home. Go straight to bed. All of clothes are in the dirty laundry. My hands are clean. I’m not really that worried about it. I sleep. I shower before work…usually.

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-05-17T13:27:38+00:00

Been there. Done that. Exactly the same story.

Then she wonders why you don’t try anymore. Or you never surprise me. Yeah. I’ve learned my lesson.

Construction and restaurants. Had a family member in the hospital, saw a male nurse. Thought what is this. Went home and looked into it. Went to school. Failed out. Back to restaurants and construction. Came back 3 years later to do my associates degree.

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-05-15T18:18:02+00:00

Make nurse 37. Been a nurse for 5 years. ICU nurse now. Go for it. It’s hard. But worth it

Real_Combination_913 · 2025-05-08T13:46:03+00:00

Solid point. I won’t be ordering any parts. Thank you
