@Thunderstealer1337 - talk to @Pipes. He'll get to the bottom of this. You really can't go more than a half-count past the click on a heater like that. You could try one of those variable power supplies. If the current vape is good, just overwhelming, changing the input voltage, not the...

We're of the same stone in many ways. You might have a few more tools on the EE side than I do. I have one trusted RadShack meter and lots of junk reference materials. My trusted iron is RadShack dual range that is beyond classic, yet it can built anything. But in the end, I am flying blind...

Welcome to my Covid Insanity Project :science: This has pretty much occupied my time during this lock-down. @RedEyeFlightControl -You said you worked with IH for decades... what discipline? I have hardly anything to fiinish an IH at an artisan level. Yesterday I realized I don't even own a...

I got you now on the vortex element. This makes it a tuned piece that shouldn't be messed with. I was more considering a choking of the air port which works well too. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing with IH. We have continued the generic discussion section to keep from cluttering...

Today I learned how long the 18 gauge wire is on the coils to make 100uh chokes. Turns out to be 33 inches. Since I have a spool of 18 gauge magnet wire, I thought I'd try to wind a HalfPint inductor with the wire running parallel. I might try to bring it back to 100uh by adding winds...

Very cool @RedEyeFlightControl . I hope you've found the builds and references thread for IH development. IH development is still new enough in the world of vape to have room for more. And like you, I have no intentions of stepping on toes. There is more than enough room for innovation. I...

Great style. Did you make them 62mm long or are they a bit shorter? Neat IH station BTW!

I'd call that a WartHoggs School of Sorcery Stem :cheers: Nice touch on the mouthpiece @Duba.

@Baron23 - that is a trait of the '20-M tip. It doesn't magnetically couple nearly as well. My particular '20 cap was also thinner than the '19 or '18. There is much less difference between the Ti and '19 than the '19 to '20 or the Ti to '20. It is not our imagination. You can see it when...

Very nice! Yep, that's how it's done. :tup:

How's this for lazy... Didn't even bother to move the switch; Learned a new term - Electrical Reference Depth.

Would you look at that. Well yes with a little more flair please.

I'm thinking the heater tube block sits in a pocket where the vape is wedge shaped. This removes the transfer from the lower block to the upper block. I assume the transfer is for user comfort.

What if you "wedged" the design and void the turn-back on the draw tube.

All this IH work I've been doing is all about keeping the heat on just as you described. Why put the torch down when you just got things cooking? Just extract all that vape while you got the momentum going.

You've discovered Vape Liquor @notams :clap:

Glad you got that dialed in @letter never sent . The VVPS would not have solved your adjustment preference. For some reason, it still takes time for the clicker to get warm. That is what the coil elevation adjustment took care of. With this setting doing it for you, by all means, you are...

Interesting turn of world event have yet again changed the IR-sensor landscape. I guess the junk digital non-contact thermometers of the past arn't good enough for the health issues at hand today so they are coming back to normal in price. Just ordered a GM550 for under $10 so the IR sensing...

Your VAS is out-voicing your common sense. Not that this is unusual of course. But in reading your open salvo, I'd say that whatever you get, knockout or not, would compete with the VC. And, reading between the lines, if the query response kills it with a most excellent vape, you'd be...

Today I replaced the coil on the FlatPack HalfPint. I went through 3 coils getting that right! A coil too short makes setting the optimum position much harder. I now have 2 data-points that tells me the optimum coil height is 9 turns of 12 gauge magnet wire wound on a 16-17mm mandrel. This...
