The housing is still more than hot enough to burn skin or carpets, and will stay in that state for longer than a vapcap style vape. The hottest part of the head isn’t of much relevance in this context, they’re all at dangerous temps and hold it for a long time relative to say a vapcap. It’s just...

The damage is far from the same though. That’s the point being made really. Being a convection heater it’s a lot hotter than a vapcap whilst also staying dangerous for longer Dropped locked torch is the worst though, holy crap is that a nightmare scenario. Even a little vapman sized one is...

Honestly this is probably the best option, tapping into the existing 8mm stem market. Especially if it’s as thermally optimised as you’d expect from inverted. I doubt it’ll need a crazy cooling stem

People just have different preferences and risk factors they have to evaluate when making their purchase choices. What’s good for you isn’t always good for me, and vice versa. Wireless ball vapes are a lot like wireless phone chargers IMO. I mean you look at them and think yeah… but also not...

A small request as well- I see in your outlined plans you were intending to make one of the butane/IH devices WPA only. Please don’t do that. The tornado is currently like that. There’s people who want to buy it but won’t until it gets a stem, and people sawing up new parts and digging out old...

I’m definitely in the group that wants to see a portable from inverted. Everyone and their mother is doing a ball vape, and almost everyone who wants one has now got one. Even still, the size of that group pales to a lot of portables. Just look at the difference in post counts in portable and...

I’ve been a long time dynavap user but haven’t really dabbled in the new stuff. Wouldn’t mind picking one up as a beater vape. Is any of it good? I see the new meta appears to be finless tips with higher mass. This appeals to me, I always ran my 19m tip to the limit and wouldn’t have minded...

100% this, love seeing a post from @electrokho82 about their latest bit of tinkering. Their posts showing off the wand with the tornado have saved me money that I was ready to spend on a next gen IH for the tornado. It’s also just cool in general to me when people modify their stuff and add...

The Anvil thread OG’s any time they read something like this ;)

Absolutely a wooden shield. Makes such a difference to the look and feel. Azzwoodcustoms in the UK makes some beautiful wooden shields and can do a matching sheath for the hot end. Simrell does some good ones too, I got a kingwood one off him - an added bonus is that they fit in the utility...

I’ve been quite rough on my Solo, and it’s kept up admirably. I leave it loose in my pockets, in a backpack, use it in all sorts of hot and cold weather. Hasn’t skipped a beat so far! In comparison to a certain other high end session device this thing is rock solid IMO

Exactly. Although putting aside the cynicism and giving the benefit of the doubt, you could maybe argue that making it WPA only helps to limit both demand and a fair few testing variables in this beta period of sorts. It’s just frustrating how the compatibility solution is right there in front...

At least we know it’s as simple as taking the pre existing integrated stem or USA and knocking a few MM off the end. Can’t imagine stem compatibility being too far away. Still though, why not just make the female connector on the oven longer? Seems so obvious and maintains compatibility with...

How I imagine @electrokho82 doing all their tornado experiments :lol:

18 bowls?! That is utterly ridiculous from a supposed “last gen” IH. Thank you so much for doing this. I’m fully sold on the Tornado and wand combo after watching the video. Perfect roast every time too - no worries about losing heating power as the battery drains. Big achievement from John. I...

Thanks for the update, 8 is already more than I thought. I’m interested how many more it’ll give you before it runs out. I think your posts have totally killed my curiosity in the forge and flare, I’ll definitely just use the wand like you are doing. The amount of bowls you have got so far is...

Yeah I totally get that. I have a Solo 3 myself for the same purpose - it’s the closest thing to an electric Anvil out there IMO. That’s why I’m not sweating about the coming windy winter, well that and the cold ;) It’s certainly a personal preference thing. I was happy using a single DV for...

Another use case for the IH, is outdoor use. Here in England it’s coming up for the time of year where it’s windy nearly every day. The IH is king on these days. It’s also nice when I’ve had a drink and can’t torch or the times I just don’t want to, like relaxing watching a film or whatever...

Yeah I never used mine with the anvil. The thermocore made it a workable solution but still not an ideal one for my tastes. Always torched every anvil oven I had, and I’ve had them all. This tornado is different though, the way it seems to work with the wand is pretty impressive. Under 30...
