if everything is going well with the betas, will be released at the end of April. (Info from BFG)
Im wondering if this will be overkill for a dynavap? I'd like to get an IH that's a sort of jack of all trades in case i'd ever want to get a dani, anvil or what have you. I know YLL makes the 2.0 but that's for dynas mostly if im not mistaken, so do you guys think the Flare could be a good buy for my usecase?

Variable wattage would allow you to set it lower for a low-mass TED like a DV

Looks like I'm upgrading my wand soon. Any news on price and when it drops? Will it drop in EU at the same time too?

Let's. Freaking. Go.
I really enjoy using lighters with these vapes, and have many lighters that work fantastic, but I love the BFG Dani's so much I'd love to get something like this asap. The fact that it will still be able to heat my dyna's is even better.

The video would be more useful if they would state the heating times for each vape, now it doesnt give much info at all

BFG's ‘Flare’ Induction Heater
Lot of interesting news coming out about the BFG's Flare and potential release date. The one that caught my attention was that it will be fueled by three 18650 batteries powering up at top end a 120 watt engine. Here's the quote from Phil's March news letter from soothingvapour.ca
"We will have a prototype of the BFG ‘Flare’ induction heater in house this week. Really excited to see this little powerhouse... 0 – 120W of heat supplied from 3 x 18650’s… it’s going to be a game-changer and a fraction of the price of the other high-powered IH’s! No date for the production model but it won’t be too long now."
Also, it appears that the BFG Flare is being developed in partnership with YLL vape. Here's the quote regarding YLL's current production priorities: "they have most of their attention focused on producing the YLL IH 2.0 and BFG Flare atm."
Love my collection of torches but at times taking a few 'quiet' dips in a portable IH is also a nice ritual. Definitely going to be a Game Changer for those who dislike using torch style vapes and a big incentive to experience a variety of some of the best vapor producing portable vapes on the planet.
Buckle up, 2024 is going to be a great year for vape enthusiast!

It appears to work the same as the yll2.0 they have it set to 120 whatever and the timer is set for 60 sec. The number when they pull the vape is how much was left. It looks like approx 40, 28 and 40 seconds respectively.

Thanks. If that’s what it takes I don’t mind I have two anvil ovens. Could just stick it on one of them.

I am fairly certain The Forge will heat all the above
but you can't beat the price!

I believe it will as well. But the price of it before even purchasing batteries for it is going to be huge. Not to mention the device itself has a BIG footprint.

I've got a bunch of milwuakee 12v batts for electric coats so I'm trying hard to wait for the forge!

I also thought this was hilarious, but probably shows they need to optimize the software to the diameter of the coil?

After seeing latest video of Forge, I'm not really sure I get this right, but Forge is meant for Dani which has quite wide head...inserting Tempest which is slimmer, thus head not touching walls of the IH oven, heating will be less effective, consequently tweaks/adapters will be needed for proper fit with smaller vapes?

An adapter will probs have to become available for us tempest folks, I still have my original 3d printed skull candy from the wand but ideally a glass adapter could be nice.

What's that tip (mouthpiece, not the stunner) he's using with the 3TM in the video?
Can't wait for this thing to be released.
