G’Day everyone, thanks for your time.
I’ve been using a ZVS induction coil kit as a dynavap dry-herb vape heater instead of a butane jet lighter. I currently have a toggle switch wired in to turn it on and off.
I would prefer the coil shut off after a set amount of time rather than keep cooking my dynavap pen. I’d like to add in a moment switch to turn it on for a set amount of time. I’m not sure if I should be looking at a timed relay switch or getting into programming an adruino or other small processor to have it handle being, for example, a 60 second on timer upon button press.
Thanks again.

Depends. Are you interested in the quickest, easiest or cheapest solution? Would you like to learn something doing the project? Will it give you a sense of accomplishment if you build the contraption yourself?
Something like this will do what you want for cheap: https://www.ebay.com/itm/262517951752
… but maybe it’s too bulky?
You’ll most likely switch the power supply for the coil controller, not the coil directly.
I’ll probably wind up with both. I’m fine with learning things. In my past I’ve studied x86 architecture. That unit you posted looks like a good hardware solution, rather than going with an arduino/software solution. Thanks for the advice.
