    Dynavap VapCap

    Someone should start writing a history book on IH for vaping. Research now would be so much easier than 10 years from now. There is such a tight weave between the 'odd entanglements'. Capturing motivations and outcomes. It is real history in the making. SDS, Jeff, Pipes, Chris, all on the...

    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    Aha, yes, you nailed it right on the head with the silver supply @BirdFisher . There is a situation that can perturb the oscillation and that can kill a FET. It doesn't take much. How a supply acts at current foldback has everything to do with it. Someone needs to update BeastHoss on this...

    Dynavap VapCap

    DV is not for everyone. It does take a certain level of awareness to make this thing shine. I find all to often people get too uptight with it. Heat it a little and see if you like it. No - heat it more. It's not the vape that is the problem but the very nature of how vape gets out of the...

    Dynavap VapCap

    @thunderstealer1337 - Dynatec is particularly proud of that soft-touch switch. Alpine 2020 has a very annoying switch. @Ripstar - DV took over daily driver duty over the Magic Flight Launch Box. Love LB but I have volume considerations for meds. DV can rip through loads fast including...

    Orion Induction Heater

    You know a few things most do not. Just the statement on the warranty card negates any CE protection. And you are right, the CE is not properly presented with the required reference information anywhere on the product or in literature. I'd love to get a peek at the submitted reports.

    Orion Induction Heater

    Its overpriced for a throw-away plastic device. It is unique. We weight its value. I'll be selling mine. I just have way better behaving IH's of my own making.

    Orion Induction Heater

    IH's are suppose to be easy to use. I need to get use to the Orion. If I can' it may go back to, or I'll sell it. Either way, useless IH's are paper weights. Orion is far from useless. But will it be comfortable?

    Orion Induction Heater

    Alright, let's get this out of the way - I just did a fresh Ti fire with a new cap on Orion and it was actually terpy at the click. Better than the SS which is left wanting badly. I don't know how there could have so many different tunes. For the record, I got about 12 flashes to the click, 6...

    Orion Induction Heater

    @Planck - when IH hits the next next level, the device could provide constant power regardless of material or even sense the device by a current signature and have custom settings for each tip. That would be something.

    Orion Induction Heater

    I doubt alienating a Ti tip was DV's intention for Orion. I'll have more to add when I go back to Ti. More research :cool:

    Orion Induction Heater

    Thanks for that @Majordude2626 - great observations. Add a Fluxer in the longevity list. 18650 gives me 3 days. @rvarick - I combusted in the Ti tip on the first test. Haven't rotated back yet. Is there a huge difference in using Ti vs. SS on Orion? And thanks for the candid opinions. I...

    Orion Induction Heater

    @Majordude2626 - since you have both PSM and Orion in daily rotation, can we bother you for a comparison review at some point?

    Your very words to my ears, good buddy :D

    Orion Induction Heater

    @letter never sent - mine isn't tuned that way. It is very weak on the first click. But a second over is a lot of added heat, agreed. I did combust the Ti tip right off the bat and cleaned that while switching to the '19 tip. Blew my lungs out with that because I got a gnarly draw with some...

    Dynavap VapCap

    Jill, I'm going to make the postulation that there was a change in the '20-M captive caps. I cannot confirm but I know my early edition '20-M had a thinner cap than the '19 and '18 I have. In recent weeks I've requested some confirmation and more recent '20-M seem to have gone back to the...

    Orion Induction Heater

    I don't think your switch failure a common problem @Derby_macht_Sachen . The board in the Orion sits about mid-ship and the button is a right angle switch soldered to the board. There are normally robust enough to handle just about anything in your pockets or back pack. You got a dud that...

    Vap Hot Box - Dynavap Induction Heater

    Okay, I now have an Orion. It's erratic. Not hot enough at the click. A delay at activation is maddening when trying to modulate the bake. Too hot to just ride the firing. I need an override button.

    Vap Hot Box - Dynavap Induction Heater

    Exactly my point @swieder711 - we all have different gadgets. But USB-C is still the minority.

    Dynavap VapCap

    I am using a N52 5/16" diameter x 1/8" thick magnets, normal axial magnets, to pull the hot cap. Makes for easy inspection and quick cap removal in case of near combustion.
