If you do, you&rsquo;re going to warp the housing or melt something you shouldn&rsquo;t. That&rsquo;s why we use Nichrome-based Infrared (IR) heaters. Most people are used to traditional resistive coils. Those things are slow. You turn them on and wait minutes for them to get up to temp. IR is different. It uses electromagnetic radiation to throw heat directly onto the surface of the object. It&rsquo;s basically instant.</p>
