The world still uses paper checks you know? Does anyone use checks anymore? Cashier's check is instant credit. Just sayin' that could be a simple option for the USA orders. :rolleyes: I'm curious if USPS considers sales different from repairs :cool: Shipping vape'ware is going up peeps.

Now that's looking awesome! :D

Only thing to remember for testing is to have the coil soldered on, even a temporary solder connection. After that, 5-6V and about 1 amp or so will let you test the circuit without a VapCap. More current and you can also test this super low voltage induction heating. I get great sessions with...

30" works! ;]

@Rei_Gado - excellent work! p.s. 33" is the work coil. I have no idea of how much wire the choke uses.

@dantemaniaco - I wonder if you are seeing something different with the OCD [I relate] - There are contact glitches -sometimes- if things are right. I am using CaS exactly like you are and can dip to the click and not break a stride on the screen. There is occasion for the timer in Flite to...

Absolutely fantastic @picowave ! Love the case color and the layout is beautiful. How's the tune? Looking forward to seeing how you implement the microcontroller. Enjoy!

@GI - yes, you can keep two of the yellow coils; move one capacitor, cut the trace, and use a momentary switch to the +IN terminal. You can use the -IN for the current carrying negative input. 18awg recommended.

It's not exactly a vape :cool: but who knows.

12 awg magnet wire @GI . All great questions @Rei_Gado - Trace cut is only to allow the use of a low power switch on the positive trace. Completely optional for HalfPint. The standard -IN negative input connection is just fine. I remove the connector and the hole is too small. The...

@fak - That is an old laptop supply at 18.5V/4.5A and a DC-DC converter from China. That would be a poor-man's VVPS.

@sesh732 - We're working on something very special for power. In the meantime, there are several DIY option that don't cost much on eBay. Much simpler than building the IH itself. You need an 8 amp [or better] DC-DC converter and a power supply.

Correct @Prophecy . Induction heating is all about piling on heat, or technically, cumulatively piling on heat. PWM puts a pause in each cycle. This pause is realized as extended heating time, again, cumulatively. These is such a thing as too hot and too cold for heaters. A heater too hot...

Thanks @Sn4Pz - That is the most concise spec I've seen yet.

Thank you @Sn4Pz - please post the link. 0.00003 amps. I'll have to do the calculation ;] ... 42 years to drain the cells - full charge of course. LOL

BMS and parasitic power drain - should be none. There are two kinds of BMS. One that manages charging as if each cell is individual and another that makes sure that each cell is matched. The ladder will draw and use power as one cell sacrifices power to a 'lesser' cell. These are considered...

@Prophecy - PWM will click at the same temp as non-PWM cycling. Glad you got it dialed!

@The Stray Fox - a silicone tube is a great idea. Thank you for sharing that!

Interesting. Thanks for explaining that buddy :D Looks like you got some good shit in the kit.

Excellent news! Happy fluxin'! @mecrobs - shrink that pic man... stretch at the corners - TYVM!
