Hummm...
It pleases me that it got user-replaceable power cells (18650 x 2) directly accessible via a battery door, on another hand such
trade-off in favour of enhanced portability is to reduce voltage and hence one should expect current to go up for a same workload, while this would translate as
FOUR (4) high-current series-connected contacts being stressed both electrically & mechanically (go figure about reliability on the long run)... In addition there has to be a delivery tool besides this IH Driver, so its narrow silhouette comes at the cost of a pouch where to shuffle it inside with some mandatory accessories i guess.
Moreover, although i tend to hope it may still bridge the gap between the old single power-cell e-Cig category Evoke/Lux (by Loto Labs) vs current DiY setups using 3, this might prove approriate as a lightweight generic IH Driver, but not necessarily suitable for DynaVap's VapCap suite of "Dry Herb" devices, for example. Assuming each cell has a voltage of 3.7 Volts that's a total of 7.4 V and i noticed "Over-Currents" range around 16 A, e.g. 7.4 Volts x 16 Amperes ~ 118 Watts.
The announced temperature range is 232 ~ 427 °C (450 - 800 °F) and we're talking about
dabs, which implies part of the entire energy budget resides in previous processing performed externally (elsewhere), somewhat similar to e-Cigs depending on e-Liquids actually. But this is Induction Heating and all i need to care about is
Joules per puff, ultimately; the good news being that ~
100+ Watts sounds fine, the bad ones revolving around this susceptor's 3-D geometry having to match a straight plain-old air-core selenoïd (a cylinder)... So it's not just a matter of knowing the metal ("susceptor")
weight anymore, its
temperature + heat up
time are also required and on such shoe-string energy budget i bet this heater's shape must be
cylindrical & hollow or nothing! After all, no claims of "universality" are made and a
lack of Dry Herb offers may be caused by IH geometry constraints IMO. Put shortly my LAVACapsule flat disc susceptor concept might fail the same as DV's VC, though each extreme separate boundary may reside outside the device's own operating range!
Months shall pass before the customers are really told what's the money buying, lets not hurry. In the meantime i found mention of critical protective functions as a "Sensor" (NTC), over-current limitation (commented above), plus some "No Load" and High-Temp. safeguards.
One has to wonder how far DiY experimentation (on Dry Herbs delivery) can go, how protected users really are. Etc.
Ah, and last but not least:

There's an original tripod socket among the accessories.
Good day, have fun!!
