Quick Vestratto Forge induction heater

Got my Forge 2.0 today. I think the power may be dialed down a hair, which I'm pretty sure will make it a little more forgiving and likelier will prove easier to use in the long run. It's also beepier and whinier than before. Regardless, it's an excellent and extremely fast induction heater. I've been happy with the Wand, but this feels like it's operating on a different level taking low-temp hits on the Tempest and Tornado.

I stayed off of amazon after I found out you could easily get counterfeit batteries on there. I went to Home Depot and picked up the m12 battery (combo🤷) with charger. They didn’t have it in stock. I showed them a picture and we ordered it right off the home depot site at the customer service desk. It was about $120 and it was delivered in a few days. Here’s a pic of what I got…

Can you charge it in the forge ?

No but, with the two batteries and charger combo you can just cycle the batts. The dead battery will be charged before you discharge the one in use. It took about an hour (1 1/2 hours for larger pack) or so to charge the batt and days to use up all the juice.

I was an early adopter, this replaced the V1. Looks like an add on for new purchases.
I was an early adopter as well and after reading their instagram post I got a lil sketched. Good to know the ww is coming back with the V2.

p.s.
Did you see the tornado stem adapter from the tiny might bowl (guy)? Wheeeew! Look slick!!! Especially on the tempest stem. I hear Vgoodiez might have them soon.

Now all I need is a silver tempest / revolve stem with a rosewood sleeve 👌 goodnight!

How long did everyone's shipping take? I sent mine off from Atlantic Canada three weeks ago CanPost/USPS, Tracking says it got through the border and customs, but hasn't moved for the last two weeks.

I'm in the USA, but I sent mine on Jan 25th and Vestratto received it Jan 2 and I got V2 delivered Feb 8.
