VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

@Pipes

Will these work with the omnivap titatium XL? I ask because AFAIK titanium is not magnetic.

How does one order and pay for the device and how much is shipping?

Apologies for the newbie questions please and thank you.

Hello Pipes, I heard from someone that you make and sell induction heaters for the vapcap. Is that true, and how would I go about doing that?

Apologies for the big post of mostly pictures in advance.

So I've been looking for a box to enclose the power of Skeletor and after some searching found an 11cm square box off ebay (couldn't find a smaller version in stock anywhere).

Drilled a hole for the switch and the Induction coil, gathered some bits n bobs from the junk pile.

The rest is all stain and glue, simple really as I don't have the skills or facilities to be doing complex things. Decided to magnet the lid down even though it was quite tight (ebay again 4x2 mm magnets).

Then added stuff to the sides for show, everything is glued even the screws.

Wanted some copper wire here but didn't have anything suitable lying around so twine and candle wax.

Dynamag in the lid and aged the metal work with vinegar for effect. The symbols are just made up.

One of the best enclosures I've seen thus yet. Looks amazing, i really like the aged effect on the brass.

Yes, @Pipes makes and sells 3 1/2 (1/2 still being designed) different induction heaters. This link has the details https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_202eBzWeF7rkTjqV5sWumPxtbSNtfjqOZEs1i9d16k/edit

Pardon our snarkiness, but this whole thread is about exactly what you are asking about. Read back in the thread a little and you will get enlightenment.

If you want to order one, you need to PM @Pipes directly...

(It WAS his first post, guys)

Got my PS in today. It’s loaded with fully charged batteries and worked for about 4 dips. 5th time there was no red light and no heating. Lights all light up on test strip. Won’t work when plugged in either. I already messaged Pipes, but figured I’d see if anyone else has any ideas while I’m waiting to hear back. :(

This may seem obvious but it's worth asking:

Have you checked the main power button on the side next to the power jack is depressed on the 1 and not the 0?

This button cuts power to the coil but still allows the test strip to function.

Yup it’s set on 1. It worked fine for the first few dips. I didn’t move it or change anything. It just stopped working.

Hmmm if it had temporarily shorted then plugging it into the charger should have reset the BMS but as you have already tried that I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.

Hopefully @Pipes will be able to run through some more thorough Diagnostics.
Thanks for your help. The batteries I put in it were charged externally. I decided to let it top up on charging with the included charger. I’ve unhooked it and now the battery test button only works when the switch is on 0. I’m like 99% sure it was on 1 when I tested it earlier but now I’m questioning myself. Any reason the battery test button would only work when set to 0? No heating on either 1 or 0.

That doesn't sound right at all.

On mine the battery test works with the main switch in either the 0 or 1 position.

@Pipes will sort you out, his CS is top notch.

Unfortunately, not good news. If the power is dropping when kill switch is turned on, this indicates the unit is shorted even without pressing the dipping switch.
This is new and will need to come back to me for repair. Specially since the symptom changed some, points to more then one problem now. :doh:
Once I get it, it will take my priority to get it fixed and back out. :tup:
