Hi @Abysmal Vapor ! Thanks for the kind reply, and it'd be great to pow-wow on the idea. I haven't signed in a bit, partly because I got myself a Boundless CF for more hassle-free medicating :) Some comments/answers to your questions! your creation: what kind of design did you use, or might you...

Thanks for keeping me honest with myself @KeroZen! I guess that makes sense... not sure why I assumed otherwise? The way I wanted to do it was to have the sensor directly in the air path either before/after the herb chamber to get it super precise. So do units like the Fenix, Boundless...

Super long delay. Sorry for those who were interested. I got pretty busy with house projects and work, but also hit a bit of a wall with this guy. Some issues: - I have yet to wrap my head around a great way to mount the bulb in that socket as well as mounting that socket to something (wood...

Hey @jojo monkey : thanks for the encouragement! Maybe I should stick to questions about your vape on your thread and mine over here so I don't tax you with twice the replies :) Thanks for the info, and I'll definitely try that. I plan to give a plain stainless kitchen scrubbie a whirl tonight...

Wow! 600-700?? I went with a thermistor for cost's sake and I didn't need anything complex to read it. I would have to take the approach of measuring just before or after the herb then... I'd be controlling to target temps in a much cooler zone, but would have the effect of getting the bulb area...

So bad ass! I'm an arduino hacker myself, so I immediately took a liking to this setup. Reminds me of looking at my own "work bench" (dining room table...). I'm curious how you do temp regulation? From that video, the microcontroller is in one place, your coil is in another, and you...

Posting just to say "Hi" to other tinkerers I've found. Like @Hippie Dickie I'm also using a mosfet and microcontroller (arduino in my case) to pwm my halogen bulb heater. I don't really follow the OKR and "2S configuration" stuff, but with a thermistor and a PID arduino library, I can control...

This was just fantastic to read though! Hopefully you'll get pinged, but I just wrote my first post about a halogen-based design. I really wanted a glass path, also used labware, and so I thought I'd say "Hi." I'm not very labware savvy, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them...

Greetings! Intro (since it's my first real post) I've been lurking for a few weeks here as from my various google searches this seems like one of the few goto resources for vaporizing. Other than trying a volcano maybe 4+ years ago, I've always used combustion. I quit smoking cigarettes ~4mos...

Just joined this site after looking around for DIY ideas/projects. Super cool! I'm an avid arduino tinkerer and plan to make a pwm controlled vaporizer in the very near future. After a lot of reading about the 510 Bulli here (nichrome or titanium), I stumbled on someone mentioning halogen bulbs...
