Herbalizer Vape - Convert Power

[Nashy]

So I'm pretty interested in http://www.herbalizer.com.

The power rating states:

115 VAC 60 Hz (230 VAC opt.)

 

I'm not sure what that all means, but in Aus we use 240V 50Hz.

What do I need to buy to get this to work on Australian power?

Thanks for any help.

230 VAC should be fine for here, most of the psu's I've seen are set to 230 volts. I'm assuming that VAC means Volts AC.

I'm seeing online that the Hertz maybe a problem?

Yeah, just did a quick search and it mentions the timings being different, was hard to make head or tails out of it. So, sounds like it would work okay, but any built in timer would be off. Not sure whether it would be faster or slower.

 

That said, I could be miles off the mark. Best I can do mate, sorry.

 

Best of luck either way.

 

Edit:

Seems a step down transformer might be the go. Not sure if that helps or not. Adds 50 odd bucks to the overall price though.

Yeah, that's what I'm coming up with also.

I've emailed to see about 230 VAC Opt. as that would most probably work on our power.
