        Thanks. I’m excited. I never really got the heating perfect on my B. Committed to putting the time in on this one to get it right. Opened it last night. My husband came home and asked why i was under a blanket on the couch at 6pm, so i think it works. What do you think of the wand? I wish there was a cheap tiny induction heater. My son has the small round one - ufo?

          You got this! Technique can be difficult to get down for any heating method or really anything with skill involved. It boils down to doing it 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, 1000 times and learning the timing a little bit better each cycle.

          I love the wand. By the first month with dynavap I knew I wasn’t a torch person. I wasn’t a fan of needing to spin the dynavap constantly for even heating or replacing butane constantly.

          Electric heating is very convinent, even, and I can hit on the DV as its actively heating while feathing power on and off. No more refilling butane just charge it like a phone. The Auto sensing feature is nice so you ca take DV out and in without it turning off. USBC charging (not PD though). If it broke I would get another one (might wait for a sale though, dynavap puts it on sale for 90$ every few months) its that good.

          Only complaint is that the batteries it came with are cheap no name brands with a plastic skin which makes taking the back off a pain in the ass. If I ever save up for spare batteries I’ll get two sets of good ones and put the no names in storage. Also temp settings is a glorified timer.

          I feel exact same way as you was kind of fustrated there wasn’t any good economical prebuilt IH. So I started off with a 10$ induction heater board off amazon and wired it up myself.

          Fortunately the coil and wires just screws in no soldering required. If you are interested in details on how to power and how well it works it let me know don’t want to hit you with unsolicited technobabble on a diy thing.

          For other IH option I think there’s the dynacup for 50-60$

          If you become a real vaping nerd and want a completely different way to heat your Dyna thats neither torch nor induction heaters ive heard that eds woodscents are absolutely phenomenonal. Pricy sure but I think I would buy one of those over the ballvapes you hear people talk about.
