Lovin the DNA Mods. Have the VT75 Nano as well as bigger brother VT75. The DNA chipset seems to handle a broader range of builds in a more stable manor. Maybe it's the sample rate or preset PID might have a more intelligent algorithm..? Not clear but the monitor graphing is generally spot on...

Look down the 510 connector on the Cuboid. Sounds like trouble with the spring loaded center pin. Never turn this pin, the slot groove is for air intake on some atomizers. You can poke it to make sure the spring action is still there. I have a feeling you're going to find it all wacky somehow...

The reason this thread came about was the fact that there is premade cheap induction heaters out there and without having to design the circuit. The idea is to keep this endeavor such that the skill level required is minimum. Firm believer here in simple is best. Failing components can be...

So you got me digging for what I was considering as the V2 upgrade. Had in mind but hadn't sourced because I needed more data, which seems I finding out with these experiments. Needed to know what current levels and such to decide on the proper components without overkill and wasting money...

OK, being testing the unit in the car for a couple days. Definitely need to do a couple things to make it work, BUT holy fuck, it works too well. Yes, the speed of the click is like under 3 seconds. Excuse the messy car, man it shows up bad in a picture. Needs vacuuming pretty bad. Here's how...

Two very good points. Yeah, car voltage can go quite high, specially if in deep charge. Can make a huge difference. Ideally, a high current regulator would be perfect but the cost is nuts. Too bad the OKR regulator series didn't go a bit higher in voltage. Can get a little better than the rated...

As usual thanks NF. Yes, batteries will go in a jar with the unit. Honestly, haven't soldered up a pack yet. Have the goods, was going to cross that bridge this week as well. Your next question, I'll beat you to it. What about the car? Excellent question! The car battery is totally a CV...

Very nice. Perfect stealth going on there. So guys, the list for the first round is now full. I want to run the first unit for a week or so to make sure there is no heating problems because of coil placement. The concept does rely on short burst usage as there is no coil cool down mechanism in...

I put together the first unit which is an "As Planned" production unit. I'm just running it threw the paces. I made the depth less for a couple reasons, to help clean the cap from getting caught up while pulling it out. Also, to reduce heating of upper portion of stem. As a result, with my 50...

Would probably be OK in plastic if the coil isn't too close and vent holes installed. I feel much safer with the glass as provides a care free safety net. We are heading down new and untraveled territories here. Since I'm going to be selling these, I don't want to be worrying about someone...

Yes, as @Andreaerdna stated, I've been playing with different coil designs. The change I made was to narrow the diameter some and make a portion doubled up to force the magnetic lines to a more focused area. Trying to avoid it going too high and heating the stem. You will notice it looks a...

Not sure about the "good" part, but it should do for this simple hook up.

That sparked a thought. :cheers: The Gaze :cheers: verb look steadily and intently, especially in admiration, surprise, or thought. noun a steady intent look. Objections? Or ... forever hold your peace.

I had a thought you could try. Take your mesh and fold it back and forth like making a paper fan. Make it the width of the diameter of the mounting screw or washers. Mount it sideways, leaving it a little loose between the mounts so you can fan it out. It will likely want to take on a more bowl...

Thanks, and happy your enjoying it. Should mention that I am still awaiting the glass stems to be supplied. @fluffhead was willing to take a wooden stem in it's place. Any pics of @DDave stem and the glass version's marriage? Honeymoon shots? Yes, watching the coil do it's thing is cool. You'll...

It all starts with these. Induction Heater Modular - $ 9.72 CAN 15Amp FET Trigger Switch - $ 1.54 CAN They also take the longest to get. Power supply should be 12 volt, 80 watts or can be less if constant current type. The rest is only governed by ones imagination. :sherlock: :science:

That's a great mod!! Love it!! What is the material? I'd assume SS but never know. Links, links, and then cheaper links..? :rockon: :sherlock:

I has the same problem with my 2/3. The connector seemed mounted cockeyed slightly and not centered. I ended up having to remove to sleeve off the Eraser to get a good grip to get the first turn going.

Yes, Much Thanks indeed!!! I've been testing and like it. The benefit being that it automatically brings down the top heat limit too. Setting up is easy too. Just set up the way we were before manual changing of ohms was possible. Where the working numbers would be around 500-520F area. Now you...

Regarding mesh heaters. This was the method I thought had the most promise. Squeezing the lower with an Xmm outer diameter washers and using Xmm inner hole diameter washers for the top. This would allow for an even and secure connection. I had the lower part figured out and tried a couple top...
