I really loved my Dynas but after getting the Tempest 2, I used them twice and wasn't impressed anymore. I thought it was just the initial excitement but it has been two months now I also think the flavour is way better but I also think the difference between the conduction and convection high...

I might just add a high power DC-DC converter and find a suitable voltage? Are there any other options besides changing the coil length again?

I have to try to measure it again but my multimeter couldn't measure the current draw of this circuit I'd need to test what wattage is suitable for the Tempest since it has much more thermal mass

I checked and this is exactly the length I shortened it to coincidentally, it just heats a lot slower than my other heater at 12V where I just bent away a part of the coil to get 6 remaining windings

So I finally got most of the parts together and built a HalfPint. Is it normal that there's continuity between the two pads where you solder the induction coil when the coil assembly is installed? I have two 21700 cells at around 8V right now but it heats my tempest much slower than my other...

In the first post they mention a few different FETs but I think all of them are through-hole so mounting them on the module's pcb would be unconvenient

I remember a list of better but still compatible FETs somewhere (I think in another induction heater thread here) but I have to find it again. I had some problems at the beginning with running into the current limit of the PSU or running it without a switch and that destroyed two modules. It...

Thanks for clarifying, I think the led in my button won't increase the current requirement that much Do you know what usually breaks when a module burns out? I have two broken ones and tried to replace the mosfets but it still doesn't work. The diodes are fine but I'm not sure about the zener...

So I decided to get two 21700 cells and I'm currently waiting for parts. On my previous build, I had an led button that lights up when the module is active. But on this build, I want to cut the trace and connect that using a button as you did. What kind of voltage is present there? Is it just...

By over-wraps you mean that you wound the excess coil wire around the other windings, so the coil has 2 layers? Does that have any advantage compared to leaving it uncoiled? So if I understand correctly, shortening the coil to 22" would increase the current requirement but the lover voltage of...

Ah I thought maybe you had a Tempest 1 already but that makes sense So my main issue is that the visual indicator of the Tempest should not be heated. I'm not sure if that also means it should not be inserted into a induction heater's coil. From what I read, only the sleeve around the ball...

I combed through the DIY induction heater threads on here the last few days and there's so much interesting information. I already built 2 IHs for my Dynavaps but I recently got a Tempest and I wanted to modify my first one for use with the Tempest and eventually build a more compact one based...

I made mine fairly tight and its still just rotating on the magnet. I can only open it with the inner tool on the reload and the screw is leaving scratches there. I don't see a bur that has to be removed, I think the hole would need to be countersunk a tiny bit more? Unfortunately I don't have a...
