    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    I wouldn't say not urgent at all. It's a high priority in my books. The mains power cord is not the best. I'd say, it's that connection that's failing. It does really needs to be pushed in hard as feels tight when it's not. And the delayed power indicator light doesn't help matters. It is a...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Hey Skeletor owners, I just found a good possible container for this unit. Seems a google search for "wooden pencil box" yields some very interesting prospects. As long as the inside clears the 65mm square, they will work great. Flip upside down and drill the hole for the glass stack and make a...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Thanks, was not aware they were so strict about that stuff. I tend not to use the word "vape" in any descriptions but words like "DIY kit" or "induction heater kit" in descriptions and just the weird names of the device. But good to know and mums the word. :tup: @Andreaerdna, check out some of...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    LOL, yeah, Trump's head may not be the best choice for everyone, but sure felt good stuffing him in. :D They can be removed as is just a piece of lacquered paper. The modular is in pretty tight going through the top opening, but can be gently pulled out. There is just enough power cord slack to...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    They could do pretty good selling them Bastards! :lol: So I'll be contacting the JH perks in the next few days. Have enough to cover the current list. Any new requests will be for next batch. I added a little bonus for this round and likely future batches as well. This JH features Trump's head...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Actually, George was one of the first ones to get a Jarhead. Odd Matt hasn't gotten to give it a go... I know George loved it and wouldn't be surprised if they are getting something on the table before too log. Only makes good business sense. Of course that's just my opinion. A 510 unit was...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    There is no real official warranty. However, I have never "not" taken care of my adopters. I handle case by case, based on fairness and problem origin. If a repair needs to come back for repair by me, the user gets the unit to me and I take care of the repair and return. Repairs take priority...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    I'd stick with the standard 5.5X2.1mm connector. Rating is a little shy so just get a good one. More important is the wire gauge. Sounds like you are looking at wanting 2'+ to keep the battery pack concealed. 18 AWG would do but 16 would be better for getting a little more battery life before it...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Awesome idea! So simple, and can have fun changing it up all the time. :lol: Now that's a what I call a fidget device. Keep it away from the grand-kids...;) Something else that's fun is some of the aquarium decorations, like castles and such. Can really theme it out. Things like this. or...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Wow, everyone seems to be loving this device. Pleases me to no end. Thanks for all the great feedback. Fantastic! Now, just giving a last call notice for the Portsides. Only two spots left for the next batch, so if you're on the fence about this model, best think quick. Skeletors and Jarheads...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    You have me scratching my head here. How is the Omni cap getting snagged. Is not the cap part the same in bottom design? Regardless, something is catching the opening between the center button and the outer Oring. This can be remedied by slicing a thin piece of cork and cutting it to the hole...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    I had a hard time until I figured out the easy way. Here is the method in which you just use a basin of water and this type of drill bit. :science:

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    I think the tie you which you are talking about is just to help hold it together while shipping. (Skeletor) Removal is expected. The chargers are fine. I was only speaking of the "supply" for desktop versions. Some maybe trying to make on their own, so was just a caution note for them. :)

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Hey guy's, here's an update to the progress and availability of these heaters. First thing is the Portsides are getting done in spurts as time permits. I guesstimate completion of the 2nd batch, of 31, to be shipping in a month. I have the LEDs and tactile switches mounted in the coil set up...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Yes that's the useless device I speak of. Just a gimmick as far as I'm concerned. But shows there is hope if some programmer could add that function.

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Good idea, but not possible with current mods. They will just detect open atomizer and won't fire. Maybe down the road with the open source firmware for some mods. I have asked and not gotten any useful answers from the code programmers. Closest thing, which just proves this is possible, is a...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    You have a good question there. The desktop Jarhead is driven by a power supply will give exact same results all the time. The Portables or battery driven units, will be quicker when batteries have full voltage, but decrease in click speed, as the batteries deplete. We're talking about a 25%...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    No problem moving components around to different locations however, we are dealing with some high currents so extending legs will need to be with decent gauge wire like AWG 16 minimal and keep as short as possible. You are doing a lot to gain very little in size. It might be better to consider...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    The capacitors are of a special high voltage/frequency breed. Lower voltage and frequency rated caps will not work for any length of time. Changing the value by removing one might work but you would be changing some switching speed characteristics and therefore may cause performance issues, as...
