Being an idiot is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. I’ve tried and fried the half pint about 20 times now, I guess I’m an idiot! Can someone spot something I’ve missed or fucked up? I’ll attach a few examples. They all have been tested in stock configuration...

It shorted the second I turned it on, same thing with all the boards from the last batch. Checked the values and looked for shorts with a meter on all circuits before turning on the power. Couldn’t find any errors and the wiring is correct. I’m using a 3S pack with a 40A bms board and new VTC6...

Ty! Just fried the fourth board in two days, what the hell am I doing wrong :doh: exploded the mosfets with a loud crack and sparks. Let’s hope the next batch of modules is of the “normal” kind, I’ve had success with them and half pint in the past.

This is how my latest batch of boards look like, a bit different from the version you have. Any experience with theese? This one with a 10 turn coil fried the mosfets, something I have managed to do many many times over now (hey at least Im hopefully learning something :). I bridged the cut from...

On the half pint trace cut, does it matter where the cut is made? Also the trace is much wider among other differences on my last order of mini zvs boards, is it any different regarding making a half pint mod? TIA TD 🙏🏻

I like the roast from my diy 3S IH when the batteries are at 10.3-10.6V charge. Can a buck converter fix the output voltage even though the input varies(lowers with usage)? or is there another way, and if so smallest way possible?

No stress here, I’m only wondering. It’s not like I’m climbing up the walls about these things. What temperatures is safe for brass? I’m planning a stem that would look really nice with brass endings. Not sure what temps are around the “base” of the tip going in to the stem though..

Alright! Thank you for informative answers. I tried a glass tube from an e-tank but it broke after a while, since then I have ran my IH without a tube. Not sure if I’m fooling my self but it feels like it got hotter without a glass tube. The glass isn’t stealing heat or something. I also think...

Great thread! I had an idea to make a ceramic oven for my dynavap when I saw a "aluminium ceramic thermal insulation tube". Then I saw a thread about a blacksmith that was on the waiting list for a lung transplant after working near and forge insulated with white ceramic wool. Found this on...

handheld batterypowered half-pint version I-have-no-idea. Soon I will be satisfied with the size and look, a few more details and it will done I think. Then on to the next, this is so much fun! Thank you @TommyDee for the inspiration and half pint mod.

Would it be possible to get a coil jig .stl for coil winding from you? Is it something similiar to this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4545014 I have a module that I shorted on the positve/negative input, is it the fets that are the first to go? I know I read in an earlier post of yours...

Thank you so much tommydee for everything you put out! These experiments/builds/guides/tips&tricks are very appreciated! I am designing a 3D printed case for a 3S 18650 portable IH and want to use your latest thin HalfPint mod. A few questions if you don’t mind :) In your latest post you teased...
