Great work raidy...will this new atty get you inducted in to the hall of fame?
Thats what I was hinting at back in this post back in March.
Looks good Pailpoe...now how far can that induction setup be scaled down?

I tried this but could not get it small enough
I dream of induction e-cigs, but I don't have the electonics know how to improvise smaller parts for it. One of these days someone smarter than me will get them to a useable size, I'm sure of that 
pailpole, your induction heater is a bit different than what I was thinking. I was thinking more along the lines of a transformer. Current in one coil inducing current in another, this current is used to produce the heat in a resistive wire. What kind of voltage and current do you have going through the blue coils?
For what I was doing, the point of using inductive heating was to eliminate the resistive wire all together and use the induction coils to heat the SS Mesh directly. Pailpoe knows way more about electronics than I do for sure though.
Induction heating is induction heating. In blue, you can see my inductor (copper wire). I use a Royer Oscillator at 300Khz.
Search Royer induction heating in Youtube.
For information, this doesn't work with the SS mesh only. I put inside a kanthal wire (nichrome wire doesn't work) . Induction occurs on the Kanthal
Any suggestions to get a Genisis atty working at 5v? I just picked up a 5v Saber Touch....and have tried all of my different coils from 2-4.5 oHm, and the end coils glow as soon as I hit the button.
I hope this will work...hate to have to sell this mod as fast as I got it....

I just read in scubagen thread that someone have better success with nichrome instead of kanthal at higher voltage. But then again kanthal is very picky with shorting/setting up so it might just be that.

I think if the ends are glowing as soon as you hit the button that it's shorting against the SS wick. I use a 3.7v 1860 and wrap my coil to 2.1 ohms.
4.2v @ 2.1Ω == 2.0Amps or 8.4 Watts
5.0v @ 4.5Ω == 1.1Amps or 5.5 Watts
5.0v @ 2.0Ω == 2.5Amps or 12.5 Watts
5.0v @ 3.0Ω == 1.7Amps or 8.4 Watts
Notice that you're still in the same ball park as far as current. If you didn't have problems with the coil ends glowing before then I wouldn't expect you to have problems switching to 5v (2.0 ohms is a jump but still within the ball park). I used to do 6v with 3Ω cartos for around 13 watts. Did you just happen to refresh your wick or coil or both?
[Edit] Ok, I lied. I got my meter out and I have my coil wraped to 1.5Ω
4.2v @ 1.5Ω == 2.8Amps and 11.8 Watts (that sounds more like my preferences
)so... your stuff should work just fine.

Same wick, but was a fresh coil since I run the same as you before this mod....1.4-1.8 ohm. Three wraps.
This coil was six wraps. Maybe it just needs to break in....don't know. Maybe I need a couple more wraps..
Gonna play with it a bit. Thanks quick!

Looks good! Whats about Power. How much watts it needs. I made a inductive 1 yaer ago. The problem is always the efficiency factor.
6V 2.5A = 15W
The idea "inductive atty" is good, but in practice not realy useable. Thats what i belief.

I reach the same result. I prefer a other way to control the temperature.
The mesh needs to be magnetic I believe. A lower grade stainless would be magentic and should work well enough but will heat very fast and burn up. I like the idea but like other's have said, it may simply be unpractical.
You are a wizard with electronics, I would imagine if someone could pull it off it would be you or raidy
