@Jill NYC Hi Jill, I am sorry, I didn't see your post until this evening. I am currently/have recently been using these 8mm ceramic discs as replacements for the glass buttons: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HQZJI6I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 They are as difficult...

Thanks! And just so people aren't left worrying, my family situation isn't dire, but it is the better place for me to put my time and energy at the moment. :tup:

Hi folks, I'm very sorry for my poor communication. Unfortunately, I have not made any change to Fluxer's status: Fluxer's new sales are still on hold, but I continue to service existing heaters. Last year, Paypal, the PACT Act, and the still-ongoing pandemic each kicked my butt. I am not in...

Hi @Prophecy , thanks a lot for posting the pics, I can confirm that you have a v1.x version of the Flix PCB. For better reliability, I would recommend using it with 9V - 12V. The 2.x versions can be identified by the cap-as-switch mechanism; if you have it apart, the version number is printed...

Hi @Prophecy , for better reliability, I now think Flix v1 users should stay above 9V, as I explained above. Flix v1 used the same capacitors as the Flux Deluxe. These capacitors proved to be too small for very low voltage use. It’s primarily these capacitors that limit the low voltage range of...

Yes, it will lengthen the heating time but the power applied will be less. Honestly, for the Flix v1, I don't recommend exceeding a max heating time of about 10 seconds. You should be fine at 9 volts, even if it goes a few seconds past that. Avoid running it on such low voltage that it can...

@N0BI : Use some caution with the Flix v1 and low voltage - it doesn't have as much capacitance as the Flix v2, so you don't have as much margin for low voltage operation as the Flix v2. For longer life, I recommend not going below 9V on the Flix v1, and also not exceeding 10 seconds of...

Thanks to all who are still following this thread for your continued interest in my heaters! :love: I am sure some people wonder why I haven’t revved Fluxer back up yet, and the short answer is that the business conditions for operating a cannabis-adjacent business like Fluxer just sucked back...

Thanks for taking the time to write up that explaination, @TommyDee ! I couldn’t have said it any better myself. 👍

What @TommyDee said is a very good suggestion. Buy a used one if/when you can, and reach out to me for repair it if it needs work. I still fix all of my heaters. My out of warranty repairs are also reasonably priced, as I just want to get stuff working again for folks. I don't want to open a...

Hi everyone, My apologies, it's been a while since I've posted any updates. I just posted some the info below to a thread on Reddit, and I want to post it here as well so those that are interested have a better idea where things stand w/Fluxer, my plans for the future, etc: Fluxer is...

Thanks, guys!

I hear you, @DHV8654 , and I want those features as well. Without writing a novel-length reply, let me just say that the FD has a LOT of v1.0 in its DNA. It's very hand made and I need to use a lot of craft and skill to build it cleanly. Frankly, it requires too many separate steps to construct...

Thanks for your interest in my heaters. The short answer is I have been taking a break from new sales since late March while waiting for the PACT situation to become clearer; the delay in finalizing the rules hasn’t helped. I have been working on another project in the interim, and need to see...

@Haemaerae - I'm sorry your Flix has stopped working. I'd rather support these heaters individually, so let's take this to PM or email (fluxerheaters@gmail.com) and we'll figure out the next steps to get your Flix fixed. Thank you! For everyone - Fluxer is still on hiatus for new sales as I...

Hi, if you sent me an email, I'll reply to you as soon as I can. You can also send me a PM here on the site for personal communications. I'd rather not use this thread for this sort of thing. Thanks!

Hi all, Happy Monday This isn't much of an update, but I wanted to check in with the thread and let folks know I'm still here and keeping an eye on things. Fluxer is currently taking a siesta from new sales* while I wait for the PACT rules to become finalized, something expected by the end...

Thank you, @FROMTHE6IX . I don't have a formal update that I can share yet, but I had a very positive conversation this evening with someone who knows the specifics of how the new law affects the sale and shipment of Dynavap thermal extraction devices and induction heaters. This person was very...

Correct. Because the Flix v2 uses the cap-as-switch, it only comes with feet to support the case. It doesn't use silicone bumpers or switch covers, so it doesn't come with those. And as @Cannabiker noted, the wrench is to remove the nut on the on/off switch so you can access the coil if you want...
