Battery Free Ganz - The Flare Induction heater

Have had The Flare for several months. Running latest Molicel batteries and an exteral charger. I really like it. 3 strong batteries provide good intervals between charges. I love the adjustablility, auto sensing, and timer. Works great with my collection of Simrell and Dynavaps. It doesn't like the Camouflet vapes but I have the Wand which does that job well. My only gripe is the depth adjustment. The range of the adjustment is not worth bothering with. Overall a solid positive and I have retired my previous 2 IH units.

So I own the first iteration of the Flare, you know, the one that doesn’t really work with anything you want it to work with. Have they made hardware changes to the newer versions or is it mainly firmware? I wonder if the firmware is updatable?

Man I thought the first iteration was better for some ppl its able to register the tornado and tempest.

I have the first iteration and they work. Limited, but work. Anvil coopercore 120W, tempest 60-70W, Convector XL 70W.... I think he has the second iteration or a defective one

@Tji89 For what i know, the yllih 3.0 works more like the wand but with 2x21700, timer, etc... So it works better with more magnetizable materials but maybe it gives less power with other materials (for example, the fusion 2 would work at 60-70W, but the tempest could work at 100W).

So what's the difference between the YLL 3.0 and the Flare 2.0?

Again my feeling here, someone else can go first and report back what's best.

Having neither but used the flare 1 and yll v1, so pinch of salt on this but it seems like the only real difference is flare 2 goes to 120w off 3 18650, while the yll 2 goes to 100w off 2 21700 batteries 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyone know what 18650 batteries would work best here? Molicel P50B? Seem like a great cell for this application, but unfortunately they're sold out everywhere.

P50B are 21700 I believe, not 18650. Unless you were asking something else?

I'm sorry, I got the cells mixed up with the yll 3.0. Just a brain fart - I know they use a different size cell. That said, is there a recommended cell in mind for the Flare 2? I have a handful of P30Bs and their discharge is 100W. I don't know enough about batteries to be sure if three of them can handle the 120W of the F2.

3x3000 Mah P30B's is my plan I've got 4 already relatively new ones will add a couple more so I've got 2 sets of 3.

Will be stoked if can use tempest and tornado without having to change the depth between devices otherwise will probably just leave the wand setup for the tempest and flare for nado
