Thanks for confirming that the shop is legit. I have to admit that sometimes I trust this Forum blindly, so I did not even lookup any reviews or experiences from previous costomers of akkuteile.de.
Hope the spare part from Pipes arrives quick, so that you can join the fun again very soon.
I will try to find some time over the weekend to take pictures, also got a sandblasted M about two weeks ago and wanted to take pictures of that with my sandblasted Omni and the Dynastash. Danyvap really came up with addictive merchandise.

I tighten the coil up to fit snug up against the glass tube. To do this I use a piece of dowelling sanded down to just under that of the glass tube. This process adds about 1 1/2 turns or so. I then do unwrap it back to the 10 turn which is the original number. So I end up cutting about 3 inches off the length.
@Pipes, dear Sir, any news about the new mini IH?
A short review on the state of developement would be nice - I love small teasers
Hmmm, have to admit, I've been holding my foot up against that flood gate. However, the process is moving along and have the beta unit heading to a fellow member to do some battery comparisons against the PS/Skelly units.
My biggest issue currently, is battery availability or more a battery shipping thing. I have enough to cover the first batch before the China suppliers figured out the regulations and stopped shipping. I did manage to find a US supplier but the dimensions are a couple millimeters different. Have to figure this out still.
What's odd is the rating is less (800mAh) than the China batteries (900mAh) but physically bigger.
Anyway, here's a couple PSM teasers. Now, please do not ask to be on a list yet as everything is not 100% worked out, and do not want to get ahead of myself in commitments. Thanks for understanding. I will announce when ready to take down names.
"Drop in" heater modular:
Supported by rubber side protrusions which are installed easily by this placement jig I made:
Here is the wiring harness to bring the stuff together. The open ends go to the BMS along with gauge wiring.
And the bottom with plate removed:

Hi how do I get on the list for a port sideA few pics of the progress.
Here is a group shot of the Skeletors and a couple custom requested builds.
Here is the inside of the Portside.
And completed Portside from different angles. Note the gauge lights are on but they turn off after 5 seconds.
I have reached out to all those on the first batch Skeletor list. Will be moving into second batch list shortly as well as the Portsides will be receiving PMs shortly.
I have reached out to all on my 1st run batch list of both Skeletors and Portsides. If I missed anyone, please let me know.
2nd run Skeletors coming up shortly.

he states how in this post
That makes sense and also what I though. But here are the ones that I've looked at and think the ratings are mostly bullshit for the specs from China and the weight is likely a better guide.
These Tiger batteries will be the ones in the initial batch.
These VOK ones are also ones I have and are physically close the the Tiger brand. Less C rating but plenty good enough for our use.
Local replacements batteries I'm considering.
These first two I'm afraid are going to be too wide as the 21mm is already tight.
Closer but still 3-4mm too wide.
This one is very likely going to be the one as size is perfect and an easy fit. Rating is lower and it's going to have to be tested to see how long they will drive the IH. My gut says it will not be that bad at all. We'll see as this is where I'm at.
If anyone can find a north america lipo battery with the correct dimensions, by all means let me know. Sourcing is such a pain.
BTW, the pictures link to the battery sites.

Actually I'm pretty sure Pipes is asking folks not to ask him about the MINI yet. I think he still has active lists for the Portside, Skelly and JarHead.

This certainly isn't the work of art I've seen lately by some fcers but here's my choice of an enclosure for my skeletor.
My first excursion used a fossil watch tin and I was afraid the metal caused an issue with the heater. All's good with this little box so far

is this thing on?
The Mini looks really cool. It does! It's somehow 80s, but in a good way.I tighten the coil up to fit snug up against the glass tube. To do this I use a piece of dowelling sanded down to just under that of the glass tube. This process adds about 1 1/2 turns or so. I then do unwrap it back to the 10 turn which is the original number. So I end up cutting about 3 inches off the length.

Just found this thread after getting my jarhead 2 weeks ago. I just had the m til a few days ago when I got my ti Woody. I’m getting much better results now with the ti tip and the smallest size bowl. I’m just looking for any other tips or techniques that I might have missed. I get 3 cycles out of a small bowl I. My ti Woody first 6 count after click then 4 count and then 3 count for last one. With the my I was counting up to 15-12-8 for my cycles and getting no where near the vapor I’m getting with the Woody. Is the ti tip that big of a difference. I tried different counts after the click and different grinds and load sizes and nothing close to the Woody and lastly I’ll ask since I’ve seen such an improvement with the Woody would getting an Omni condenser make it even better

I don't see as big a difference between my M and my Woody as you do, tho I do find a noticeable difference. The Omni condenser shouldn't make any difference in vapor by itself, tho it will allow you to set a level of airflow that will be more consistent than feathering the airhole on a regular VC.

As I mentioned earlier Planet Vape is a great source for 18650's in Canada.
Here is another Canadian supplier I have complete trust in.

I agree, PV is great for vape products, however, as with DashVapes, the overall cost for 3 cells with shipping ends up at well over $50 bucks. That's just too rich for me. The US mentioned suppliers are much cheaper, specially if buying a few, as it's the shipping that hurts. The Canadian shipping isn't much better anyway.
Same with the Lipo batteries as well. US sellers are priced more competitive for them it seems, as there are battery specific shops. At least that's my findings.

Pipes is a gentleman and a genius. He was super helpful with regards to my malfunctioning Skeletor and ultimately had it fixed and back to me in what seemed like no time. And now that I've finally gotten to experience the goodness that is the induction heater-- HOLY WOW. The VapCap was already my favorite vape, but this really really takes it to the next level. I can't say enough good things.
