    Alternative to the Induction Heater for Dynavap?

    This is what I'd try as the laser target. Copper is still too reflective. A good heat conductor but needs to be flat black to absorb the energy.

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    You are correct that they have tons of batteries and one might get lucky. However, there are sooo many types that odds are you'll come out empty handed. Size and voltage are the biggest things, then the connector type. I have like 3 boxes full of old power cubes and when I need one. Chances of...

    Alternative to the Induction Heater for Dynavap?

    I don't think you're going to get great results using that copper tape. It has a glue adhesive which will just burn up and smoke. You would need something more like a clip on black metal. Something like the picture but without the fins. Also, I may be wrong but I think you need more power than...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    I know, shipping is such a pain. This one looks promising if the size is correct. Battery parameter:ZOP Power 11.1V 1000MAH 20C Capacity:1000mAh Size:26*30*53MM Continuous Discharge Rate:20C Weight:70g Colors:Standard Colors Note: due to the difference between the measurement, the battery...

    Alternative to the Induction Heater for Dynavap?

    Yes, a black encasement would solve a couple of problems. Not sure how well the heat would transfer from the encasement. Or how fast. Fun stuff. I love near the end where he lights a cigarette. He's actually shooting it up near his eyes. You can see it reflecting off his cheek under his eyes.

    Alternative to the Induction Heater for Dynavap?

    Intreging but IMO, too many obstacles to overcome to get it to work. 1)Dangers of lasers and would need to be blocked from human eyes. 2)The target needs to be dark or the laser energy will just reflect off. Note that when you see them pop balloons that the balloons are generally dark in...

    It's a 100-240v charger and comes with the adapter for your country. In your case, an AU adapter. ;)

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Yeah, those chargers are not great quality at the connector terminations. I have dissected to see what gives and found it's just a quick spot weld for the thin wire and can break at the weld easily. If you do find one that has a better connector I'm all ears. The best thing to do is re-terminate...

    Hey all, for those confused here, which is must of us...:freak: I have officially retired the Jarhead. They made a good run and I will continue to support them of course. However, there is a new guy coming down the pipe to replace it. The Caldron is a basic BareBone driver modular encased in an...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    When new, put on the charger for an hour before you use it. Should always top up a new battery before discharging it. It's OK to do a test (or 2) but should not discharge new batteries. As @started@52 experienced, they do generally come back. ;)

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Yes, I do and worthwhile if including in an existing order but shipping kills lone orders. Amazon will ship free if you get your order up to the minimum dollar amount. ;)

    Amazon has them as well but not as cheap.

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    No, the JH cannot be used with a "charger". No, the PSM is not recommended to be used as a desktop. Can be used while charging but not a permanent setup. Like a laptop, will work while charging but do not leave on the charger or will have a very short battery life down the road. FAQ Document

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Should treat the same way as the PSM. The only real difference is the battery type. Dissasembly is pretty self-explanatory once you remove the screws. This BMS does not have balancing abilities but does have protection if any cell gets too far out of voltage range. Many do confuse this as a...

    Would work. The only problem is you would have to remove the battery from the PSM to access the 4 pin connector.

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Yes, a JH (home unit) replacement. A 1/2 - 2/3 size PSM encloser would be possible because of the lack of a battery. Would just give the two units the same look. And saves me making two driver configurations. Those PSM enclosures seem very popular on many sites in my searching but no other...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Sorry but only a 3S charger should be used. And I recommend sticking at a 1 amp charge rate. For the most part, you can really only easily get online but the good news is they are not expensive to buy. Always a good idea to get a 3S car charger version as well if you're on the road a lot. ;)

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Nice video! Must have been early in the morning judging from the lack of people. Those Bluff grounds usually have tons of picnics going on. You would get into huge trouble these days as that coastline is classified as a no-fly zone now. I have a Hudsan H109S which I've had up a few times. Fun...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Nothing in the "immediate" future. :ninja: I do have an eye open for an alternative cheap enclosure to take over the Jarhead model. Something the BareBones driver can drop into so the drivers can all have the same configuration. Want something to accommodate those that just want a home unit that...
