Discontinued G43 and SledGhammer

The Beagle

Bubbles & Bags
Hi everyone, I just posted this in the DIY section but I'll copy it here as the G43 has been a big inspiration for this (possibly stupid) idea:

I've been thinking about this for a while but I have no idea if it could really work.

A bit of back story: I loved my Herborizer but I sold it as I didn't want to deal with a lot of hot glass parts and, most of all, with a power cord going to my bubbler waiting to topple it.

I also sold my induction heater for the Vapcaps as they are not really portable and, while they were excellent for dry use and amazingly fast I could never reproduce the same results I can get through water with a torch and I never use my Vapcaps dry when at home.

I really like the G43 but I don't like the idea of using batteries for a device I'll be using only at home, and while I read about a possible desktop G43 I still don't want anything tethered to my glass (or I'd just buy a Flowerpot).

So here's my idea: a glass heater like the G43 one that instead of a battery powered coil hosts a metallic mass that gets heated by a wall plugged induction coil. No batteries, no wires going to your glass, very fast heating time, no exposed hot stuff that could burn you.

The temperature could be controlled by leaving the coil on for a longer or shorter time similar to how you operate any other unregulated device, electrical or butane powered.

What do you think guys?

I was number 3 on the list. I’ve been using my G43 nonstop since arrival but on Sunday night I dropped it and broke it. It was completely my fault it slipped out of my hand and hit the tile. Vape critic and his wife Hazel reached out to me when I posted on their forum. They’re shipping a replacement out so I can get up and running again. That was totally unexpected I was pleasantly surprised. They have exceptional customer service!

Thanks Bud and Hazel!!!

I was wondering if anybody broke one yet , were there glass beads spreading everywhere or was it more of a bowl break?

Does that mean everyone gets 1 free replacement @VCBud ?

What order number are they on?

The one thing keeping me from buying the G43 is the fact that my computer refuses to upload TUBO firmware at all. I could buying a sort of platform power controller and supply with my 3D printer but really have no clue where to start. I'm trying to find a digital wattage controller only going up to 20 watts or so as the first step.

Not sure what mod you have?

We are all running myevic firmware on compatible mods. I use a Joyetech VTC Dual and Joyetech Primo Mini. You can find mods cheap....$24-$34

Try with another cable ,some cables are only for charge and do not support data. Alternatively, try downloading NFE tools and use the updater from the program to load the software,i had better success with it.
 
I did have TUBO firmware on my rx300 but the batteries kept on draining for some reason. I salvaged the control board and am currently forming out the wiring before I design.

Yes, exactly what works and how we set them up.

There are many using the Wismec mods with the myevic firmware. But there is a prob with one of the dual Wismecs...but a few others work fine from Wismec.

I do not recall if anyone on the beta team with me had used the Tubo software in cruise mode.....or other users now....but there could be.

HERE IS INFO ON THE SOFTWARE FOR THE G43.

Not nice. Warning point issued.

@VCBud
But this is only for good boys.....
Not for spammers, bad boys like you.
We all know your internet issues, and spamming, and bad bad behavior at his Vape Life Forum.
Like pestering, posting inappropriate stuff, and you are permanently banned from there.
Am I wrong???
Stay put dude.
Actually I’m reporting you, so people know, you’re here in totally bad faith, since probably you’re never going to buy a G from Vape Critic.
Go to pester another thread please, one that you have a vape of.... or, are you still a “univape”???????,,,,,,,,, just the Lil’Bud :( and nothing else.
Correct???? @VCBud
Stay vaped.

The G43 is unlike any other vape I own or have used. I just take the vape and connect it to the wismec p80 mod that I got from the vape critic that is pre loaded with the software and ready to go. I wait four minutes and load the g43 with my favorite flower, set it in my rig and inhale vapor that is as smooth as the air you are breathing now. This potent vapor is so good that I'd say it is close to dab strength. I run the mod between 10.5 and 11.5 watts for flower and 13 watts for a load of flower and sauce. This has to be one of the most inexpensive hardest hitting vapes I have tried.

I had this same issue, and it is related to the software of this particular model. You can find the fix on github.I had this same problem and FJ added it to his software. I will try to dig it up and send you the link.
 
By salvaged I mean gutted the control board to be fitted into a custom designed 3D printed case. It could be a mini PID email controller for a G43 and a TUBOx. I've figured out most of the wiring on the board and am currently drawing out the housing box rn.

Cool....your going to make the mod a table top PID.....lol Wondering if you will have to limit the cable length to keep the coil Ohm's around 0.93 or less. Which is where the heater element is efficient at. Some of the coils Bud made with the full setup came out to less than 0.89. Most of the reported coil Ohm's average around 0.89 to 0.93.

That's the plan daddyo. I plan on keeping the G43 cable lengths as is but that you for pointing that you.
