It is obviously lost to heat but it is a worthwhile perspective of managing power levels while keeping things simple. That makes me think that resistance in the wire can be used as a current limiter. Unlike my previous build, I am running 'the runt' on 14 gauge 'hard-wire' except for the 18 gauge power run which dropped 1/2 a volt 8 amps. I'm running a 12 volt 10 amp supply similarly to what my 18650 can deliver. That is so odd since there is no processor.ĭ'uh! Power levels These thing do work proportionally to the power provided. ![]() I also noted that when I turned the voltage down, current went up, and the unit actually went through a reboot cycle. ![]() With a stainless steel VC, I get almost 8 amps of current flow. I am on the edge of a 2 amps current draw without load. I am now delivering 11.5V at full load of the available 12V. It will burn you! Sessions with cutting power except to heat the VC is still palmable. And I will reiterate again - MOMENTARY SWITCH! You don't want to leave this on for long. I suspect it is doing that and lessening the heating of the cooling fins. What I was hoping to achieve with the tighter coil is to focus the energy to the bowl. It gets freakin' hot! Two things have changed 1) I compressed the coil, and 2) have very little voltage loss from the power supply to the IH. Now that I've improved the conductive path, this thing's become a beast! And not in a good way. Once the caps got their fill, its been working great. The power died to the LED and came back after some 2-3 seconds. Took it a few tries to get it to fire and it even went through a reset routine of some kind. I corrected my brain fart from yesterday and the circuit lives.
