    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    Click would take a little longer The click would come a little sooner Number of turns seem to have less effect The multiple layers is simply to use the complete wire length The ingress depth moves the clicker further from the sweet spot. This delays the click allowing more heat to build up...

    BaKx (heating principle) inspired desktop vape

    @highvaper - coil wire impedance can be modified with limitations. If you are staying with the 12 awg magnet wire, it is pretty easy: The stock coil is 33" for 3S operation (12V). The stock coil is 10 turns; This equates to approximately 1V/turn, or 10 watts increase for each turn removed...

    BaKx (heating principle) inspired desktop vape

    You can tame the heater a little by removing one of the black capacitors. If you want to use a high temp shrink tubing, look for PTFE shrink tubing. This minimizes outgassing.

    Mail Order CBD

    If their readings surpass 0.3%, they don't except it. The growers are usually the contractors so they have a vested interest in meeting the test requirements. I don't trust growers to deliver top shelf flower. I prefer a reputable reseller. I buy strains so I am limited to who I buy from...

    Mail Order CBD

    @deadsouthernblake I have purchased a lot of variety packs from reputable resellers. This is a great way to see what different strains taste like and how well they vape. I find that the farms that sell direct are not really targeting consumers like us. My first foray into CBD sucked. I have...

    VapCap Induction Heater for Desktop and in Car Use

    Hobby King was a bit of a pain. I tried checking out with PayPal and they held my order because something didn't match up. PayPal was charged but the order was put on hold. And, of course, there is no one to contact. I worked with CS, such as it is, and it took over a week to cancel the...

    More capacitors should do the trick.

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    Oh no, @rvarick . I was only saying that LiPo cells are more robust. Li-Ion cells are very touchy about how they are made.

    Fluxer Heaters, induction heaters for Dynavap

    We tested 3 manufacturers of 18350 cells when Flite came out: Vapcell (purple), Efest, and Keeppower. Each performed very well at the time. Over time, Efest went back to their usual lesser quality; Vapcell I don't have a lot of experience with; and Keeppower was a really nice cell as well...

    DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

    I have not done it but this method should explain my concept for 2-cell IH's: The coil wire length, not the number of turns, is what what determines the power draw when a vapcap is inserted. Original wire length of the coil is ~33" for a 3S solution. This normally operates at around 10.5V (to...

    For a higher voltage ZVS, sure. A 400 watt Anvil heater would be something. Possibly a next generation solutions ;]

    Less coil wire length will increase the power draw. Also, be sure to solder the coil to the board. Those blue terminals are the cause of most ZVS module failures. Once soldered, these circuits are very tough. By making the heater hotter for weak caps can cause an issue if you ever put in a...
