Instantaneous vapor at a second's notice. A plug-in vaporizer that goes from room temperature to set vaping temperature in less than a second for on demand vaping has never been done before, until now. The BOOST ULTRA Vapor System reaches full operating temperature almost as fast as flicking a BIC!
The mouth piece of this "whip style" vape uses a capacitive touch sensor to detect when it is in contact with skin. Using this sensor the BOOST ULTRA is able to detect exactly when the user starts and stops drawing air. There is no need to leave a heater constantly running, burning away your herbals.
Once contact is detected, two fan cooled, 200 amp, power MOSFETs enable an ultracapacitor to instantly unload current into the heating element. Simultaneously, an LED illuminating the glass vaping chamber will fade from cool blue to hot orange. Desired temperature is reached in 1 second.
The MOSFETs' power discharge rate is regulated by pulse width modulation (PWM) which is set by a four way slide joystick on the front of the unit. Up and down for temperature, left and right to set LCD brightness. All user relevant information, such as temperature setting, capacitor voltage, LCD brightness, and heating element power meter, are displayed on the largest LCD screen to ever be put into a vaporizer.
There is an additional 12 volt auxiliary ceramic heater which will activate (alongside the stainless steel ultracapacitor heater) when capacitor voltage drops below 2.4 volts. This occurs after multiple rapid fire hits, such as a party situation, when the capacitor is depleted quicker than it recharges.
After 2 minutes of inactivity, the unit will go into standby mode, displaying the current time on the LCD screen. While in standby, the unit is still ready the microsecond it senses your mouth on the whip, instantaneously becoming vapor ready. While not in use, the Boost Ultra wastes no energy continuously powering a heat source, nor does it use any type of heat mass to retain heat. Thus there is no need to worry about leaving the vape on slowly burning away your herbals. It will also not present a hazard if forgotten about. In fact, the BOOST ULTRA is designed to be left powered on, as it will just patiently await your next toke all the while displaying the correct time (is it 4:20 yet?!).

Features:
* Touch sensitive whip, electrically connected with a magnet to the main unit
* Instant heat up
* Uses the well-proven Arizer bowl and whip system (also makes replacement parts easier to get).
* Modular power cable (standard computer cable that can disconnect for storage or transport). Also easy and cheap to find replacements.
* Will work on 110 or 220volts (can be adjusted via a small switch on the side)
* Blue and Orange LED illumination to show state of heater.
* Clearly visible glass vaping chamber let's you see the state of your herbals at anytime (even in the dark)
* Clock which will retain the correct time even after being unplugged. Runs on a small button battery which will last over 10 years.
* Handmade in the USA
Safety:
* Food grade materials. The ultracapacitor heater is made of stainless steel and copper (very similar to the Magic Flight Launch Box) There are no chemicals used in the formation of the element, but instead uses a physical bonding process with no solder and no lead. The 12 volt auxiliary heater is also ceramic, and the airpath through the unit is all glass.
* Power supply has automatic over voltage and short circuit protection.
* Safety sensor by the heating element that will not allow the heater to activate unless the glass bowl is inserted and sitting correctly.
* Heater will automatically turn off if it is on for longer than 30 seconds.
Technical information:
At the heart of the BOOST ULTRA is the 2.7 volt, 3000 Farad BoostCap Ultra capacitor. Put simply, ultracapacitors are able to output a ridiculously high current. The amperage that comes out of your wall for instance maxes out at 15 amps before the breaker trips, the short circuit current for this ultracapacitor is a whopping 9300 amps. To my knowledge, this is the largest production capacitor made and the capacitor alone retails for $95. The ultracapacitor is charged at 3.3 volts through ten 10watt power resistors at an exponentially decreasing current (at a max 28 amps) from the power supply. Charging state is regulated by a microcontroller which disables charging once the capacitor has reached 2.7 volts.
Pricing and Availability:
Currently this prototype unit is the only one in existence and is finishing going through alpha testing. Please excuse some of the "rough edges". Production units will be made in extremely limited quantities and I plan on creating 10 beta testing units next. The price for these will be set when finished but will most likely not be more than $490. Im not sure exactly when beta units will be finished production, but it will probably be about two months from now. In accordance with forum rules, please do not request to be a beta tester in this thread. If you would like to purchase a beta unit please email me at boost.ultravs@gmail.com
