(zombie) woof.
And by store, you mean long term.... not overnight, or a few nights...? As in, it's perfectly fine to fully charge it and deplete it regularly, if you're using it fairly regularly.... yup! absolutely...!Lithium is OK to flatten and fully charge just don't store them in that state (as @felvapes says, lithium is happiest between 20 and 80%, the quickest way to shorten a lithium battery's life is to store it dead or fully charged, save the full cycling for Ni-Cd (aa or aaa rechargeable batteries are the main wide use of that old tech now)!
Me too, that is why I like user-replaceable batteries for portables...it is hard to worry about battery longevity when out and about.
I have heard that the Ispire Wand does work with a Dynavap...how well is yet to be seen due to early testing...
Also, this looked good until the 200 to 250 price tag was mentioned,

Just did the first somewhat serious test of the SourceVapes '21 Alpine Induction Heater... here we go, Battery Test #1:
Modified M17 tip (grooves cut in to top edge to provide more airflow to chamber), M20 (2 months old?) Captive Cap, Old Stubby stem.
Small amount of leftover kief-rich grinder grind (maybe 1 huge vape hit) lightly tamped down to the ccd then totally packed with grinder kief!
Fully charged Alpine after taking less than an hour to charge from DEAD?!
7 full cycles, meaning inserted until the auto shutoff/overheat protection (lightly blinking red lights in oven from being fully on when inserted and heating) is engaged, then I combusted (I know more how to control this, but not going into that now...)!! Dump clean and swab EVERYTHING (except no alcohol wash/cleaning for AquaLabs 14mm mini-wax rig, just water exchange), which is super quick with Old Stubby.
Load full chamber of flower. After 2 cycles (9 total), Alpine drops to 3 lights on. 6 more full heating cycles (16 total), unit drops to 2 on... during the 8th full cycle after that (23th now), it dropped to 1 briefly at the end, but did 2 more full cycles until 1 light was always on after heating... now only 1 light is on... 8 more full caps until DEAD...
33 full heating cycles until dead and once again, it took less than one hour to charge full.
edit: my Hotshot and Sneaky Pete DV order is out for delivery today and my rather large amended 4/20 dabbing warehouse order is due in tomorrow...! then that's it til maybe 7/10 or k-fri....!
