Induction Heater Yllvape IH Power and temperature controlled induction for use with Dynavap

[Manako_]

Isn’t it more likely that the YLL is not meant to be used with an Anvil due to its greater metal mass than a “defective” device?

Here there has been talk of using it with the Anvil and no one mentioned that it got hot, I know it is not its initial use, but I have also mentioned that it gets hot with the Vapcap without getting the message out, I am just asking if it is normal.
I'm sure I didn't approach the question correctly, sorry.

For those of you who use it with the Anvil, does the IH get too hot? With only three cycles it is very hot and I get a message "Cooling Time" and I don't know if it's a problem with my unit that is defective, with vapcap it also heats up but I don't get the message

I have used the Anvil with the YLL Induction Heater many times. I don't recall seeing that error message. I use power mode and I heat the Anvil for 15 second cycles (watching the timer in the display). After the Anvil clicks I heat for 2 more 15 second cycles followed by one 12 second cycle before beginning my draw. Works great for me and I don't see any error messages.

I have one of the YLL IH V2 in black and here are some thoughts after using it a few times.

Pros:
-Solid metal build feels good in hand
-‘Power’ mode works really well
-Cheap
-Has a simple aesthetic
-Surprisingly small and stealthy

Cons:
-it’s annoying that it stops heating after a certain number of seconds, and you have to click the button again
-the power mode doesn’t go low enough for me. It’s pretty good but I can get bigger hits by setting it to the lowest power setting and then pulsing it slightly near the end
-why is the packaging so elaborate? Feels like a waste of everyone’s time and money

Overall this thing is a great upgrade from my Orion. I’m curious how reliable it will be considering how cheap it is.

Ooh is it possible to see a image of the new ih?
Nice pros!
Do you know the exact size?

About the cons: seems like it has some cons of the old version. It was annoying to click the button to heat again. Does this one shut of the screen when you dont use it…and then you have to click the button to work again?

Can you regulate the height of the coil?
How about the battery?

Any news?

I'm interested as well!

I've just purchased one and using it all the day.

It's also my first IH and I'm loving it. Only used it in watts, just to pay attention only to vc clicks.

13mm

So it fits with Armored caps?

+1 that short time limit is a shit

bigger batteries would be nice too, with these big ass boys you need a lot of cycles

Hello fellow owners of the YLL IH!
I bought mine back in spring 2022, used it a few times all good, then put it away for several months and now it wont recharge, I have contacted them on instagram and they have responded, but it's out of warranty so I've not much hope of a solution.
Feel quite upset, it's such a nice little thing!

Try manually charging the cells bypassing the internal BMS @Nina

Try manually charging the cells bypassing the internal BMS @Nina

thank you for the suggestion
so BMS = battery management system, that's going to mean taking opening it up to get to the internal workings, isnt it, I dont feel I have the technical know how to do it. I mean . . . it sounds a bit specialist to me, or am I being a wuss?

Over Instagram YLL IH suggested I hold down the 3 buttons in order to reset the device, when I did that I got a screen like this:
1. BAT 0726 X
2. S-T 3183 ✓
3. B-T 0030 ✓
4. O-T 0084 X
I dont know if that means anything to anyone?

Charging those internal cells may be a bit involved. It is a matter of getting the right voltages to the right terminals. I haven't seen the internals but from what I remember, they actually use a common charging plug for conventional 3S LiPo cells.

I think the screen is saying line 4 is a dead cell.

I think it uses some kind of 2s for what i remember

Thanks for your insights @TommyDee and @kokolokokolokon, unfortunately repairing it myself is beyond my skill set
However YLL have very kindly offered me a discount for the IH 2.0 so I will take them up on their offer and see how that goes

I think you will like it. Adjustable timer and heighr, 2x18650, armored cap compatible….but! It is bigger.
in case you wan to repair the yllvape ih you can try to open it, buy the same batteries (the exact name was in this thread) and go to a local electrician

 

[Nina]

I'm totally sold on it @kokolokokolokon
(and thank you for the battery + electrician workaround)
YLL have offered me a 30% discount (on the USD price) plus free shipping to the UK and one free extra shorter 8.5 insert

I don’t know if it would be 70£ or they calculate it in €/$ (would be 54-60£) but it is a total win-win

 

[Nina]

it was £57.99, including shipping and the other extra item, so I feel very blessed

YLL were very kind and responded very quickly
