I've been thinking about this for a while but I have no idea if it could really work.
A bit of back story: I loved my Herborizer but I sold it as I didn't want to deal with a lot of hot glass parts and, most of all, with a power cord going to my bubbler waiting to topple it.
I also sold my induction heater for the Vapcaps as they are not really portable and, while they were excellent for dry use and amazingly fast I could never reproduce the same results I can get through water with a torch and I never use my Vapcaps dry when at home.
I really like the G43 but I don't like the idea of using batteries for a device I'll be using only at home, and while I read about a possible desktop G43 I still don't want anything tethered to my glass (or I'd just buy a Flowerpot).
So here's my idea: a glass heater like the G43 one that instead of a battery powered coil hosts a metallic mass that gets heated by a wall plugged induction coil. No batteries, no wires going to your glass, very fast heating time, no exposed hot stuff that could burn you.
The temperature could be controlled by leaving the coil on for a longer or shorter time similar to how you operate any other unregulated device, electrical or butane powered.
What do you think guys?
Heheh, this is more like a battery powered elev8rFuck you @VCBud ...I felt my V.A.S. was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...nope. ... Has my favorite vapor feature it seems: power. That's why I love the TUBOx...that thing can power through anything.
So that means it's almost like a battery powered supreme? damn. This will absolutley be one that my friends run fromHeheh, this is more like a battery powered elev8r
Around 100ish i thinkWhat order number are they on?
I was number 3 on the list. I’ve been using my G43 nonstop since arrival but on Sunday night I dropped it and broke it.
What order number are they on?
The one thing keeping me from buying the G43 is the fact that my computer refuses to upload TUBO firmware at all. I could buying a sort of platform power controller and supply with my 3D printer but really have no clue where to start. I'm trying to find a digital wattage controller only going up to 20 watts or so as the first step.
Try with another cable ,some cables are only for charge and do not support data. Alternatively, try downloading NFE tools and use the updater from the program to load the software,i had better success with it.The one thing keeping me from buying the G43 is the fact that my computer refuses to upload TUBO firmware at all.

I did have TUBO firmware on my rx300 but the batteries kept on draining for some reason. I salvaged the control board and am currently forming out the wiring before I design.
@VCBudI was wondering if anybody broke one yet , were there glass beads spreading everywhere or was it more of a bowl break?
Does that mean everyone gets 1 free replacement @VCBud ?
Wondered same
I had this same issue, and it is related to the software of this particular model. You can find the fix on github.I had this same problem and FJ added it to his software. I will try to dig it up and send you the link.I did have TUBO firmware on my rx300 but the batteries kept on draining for some reason.

By salvaged I mean gutted the control board to be fitted into a custom designed 3D printed case. It could be a mini PID email controller for a G43 and a TUBOx. I've figured out most of the wiring on the board and am currently drawing out the housing box rn.
Cool....your going to make the mod a table top PID.....lol Wondering if you will have to limit the cable length to keep the coil Ohm's around 0.93 or less. Which is where the heater element is efficient at. Some of the coils Bud made with the full setup came out to less than 0.89. Most of the reported coil Ohm's average around 0.89 to 0.93.
