Hope you got enough stash on hand @dynavapmuser :D You might get a nap in after all.

@sesh732 - That is my favorite method. You might be able to dial PWM so you can keep up with Flite. I might recommend burning off of the peek charge a little so you are in the more gentle part of the discharge curve when dialing in the perfect PWM. I should add that this real-time heating...

Correct @fak - you can manipulate power as long as you are paying attention to it. The BMS will limit the charge current to under 2 amps IIRC.

For the purist among us - okay, x-flashlight purist here - XTAR chargers and a spare set of cells. No downtime and as safe a charging environment I can envision. Having said that, I don't charge overnight and I am always present with my Flite when charging. Being inside a metal shell helps a...

40 minutes to full charge IS sweet ;] And @fak - Flite was designed for 10 loads and up. Technique is everything. I can do 12 bowls and the lights start to dim. From a math-perspective - 150mwh/click. We can push to almost 11WH with the 3S 18350's. Coil sizes make for less variation than...

I would comment only on the hotter setup. This will take you to the edge of combustion more often. The Default tune lets you heat a second heating after a forced cool-down click with less risk of combustion. This sounds like what you are after in the profile. 16mm is for a 'gentler' heat on...

@Sn4Pz Looking excellent! Glitches happened. I am learning that a quick scrub of the cap on brown cardboard [no dies] does well with a quick cleaning of the cap to make good contact. A fine steel wool works too.

Directly, no. I run 3S on these and find that power range, 9-12.6V, to work very well. There is a low voltage limitation in the circuit based on the MOSFET that are on-board. Two options; - Design a ZVS circuit to function from 3-4.2V. This would require 20amps at 3 volts to generate 60...

@fak - I can use Flite while charging. Do give the cells 10-15 minutes of charge if the BMS kicked in.

Hello @picowave - Thank you for the kudos my friend. HalfPint-proper is a lot more involved that removing one cap. I suggest the one cap method and call it a day. Remoting the two chokes is a much simpler hack and allows for a lot more packaging options. To keep the coil cool, don't shorten...

I like it! Looks pretty solid. Would love to put some metrics against it. Can't have too many induction heaters!

@Haemaerae - you definitely want to meet Jeff for your next heater experience.

Alright - I figured today was a good day to try and clean 4 VCs. That's a lot of work. I used Whink rust remover carefully - I totaled my Ti tip though. Whink is 'hot' enough to melt Ti. Who knew - The Ti tip is a nice gray but that is not what I want to vape. I suspect this gray...

I've seen that too and wondered if they were some aftermarket clones. The sharper Ti tip on the right is what I have. It lacks just a little in airflow over my '19-M tip.

I don't have that directly @Gunky - but it is a controversial one that Oregon included in allowable pesticides. I got a mail-order CBD and it had the same problem. Very repeatable and very consistent characteristics. Top shelf and A-bud have not been a problem.

@GoldenBud - I have read most of these threads and I see the emphasis of a clean chamber. I get that and I am happy to finally learn why. I use Whink rust removed [~2% HF] to get the tip and cap shiny as new with little effort or scratches. The key element to using mild acid is to neutralize...

Happy Birthday @mecrobs !

@sesh732 - can you expand on your thought? Sounds like you could use a dial enlarger for setting PWM.

The pack is within spec @Rei_Gado - it suggests you will get 10 amps available and the most you'll need will be 8 amps at the extreme end. That is a cute little pack. At 2,000mah, it should produce plenty of clicks.

@fak - Correct, I think. I rarely combust with the default setting. I draw on the first click to maximize the second draw when hitting it back to back. This morphed from a gleaning of DV - George's method. Works great when the IH cooperates through tuning. In case you are not familiar...
