OK, Flite are live in the store. I have listed three per color for this first batch, as the store software doesn't allow for more complicated decision trees. Please have at, and let me know if you run into issues. I will start shipping on Monday. Cheers and thank you for your fantastic...

OK, the video is live. Enjoy: Working on the store updates next.

I hear you, and I'm truly sorry. :/

Hi all, a quick update on where I'm at with things: I just updated the Fluxer web site with Flite info: https://fluxerheaters.com/flite . I've repurposed some of the images and content I've already posted in this thread. It needs more work and more images, but it's a start. The Flite...

At the risk of even more than my usual pedantry: The button allows you to use the entire vertical column of the coil, giving you the greatest range of heating options. The cap-as-switch requires touching the tip to the bottom of the coil to activate the heater. It's completely fine if you...

You're killing me, Tommy, lol. I AM THE BOTTLENECK! Having more distributors only helps if I can crank out more heaters. Updated to add: Tommy's post above mine is FANTASTIC (!!!) and I strongly endorse it! His notes on battery capacity and Flite power usage are definitive. This man KNOWS that...

Hi all, Happy Friday morning from Californial Drinking some coffee, answering the questions posted since last night. It is more lke the Apollo than the Orion in this regard. The cap-as-switch is still a physical switch. It must touch both shunts well enough to make electrical contact with...

Combined shipping in the US depends on the insurance, so 2x Flites is going to cost more to ship than, say, 2x Flix. But in general, the shipping for two units is about $20. My web store software (*cough* GoDaddy *cough*) isn't very flexible with regards to shipping costs, and unfortunately...

FWIW, I was up until early this morning working on the Flite's video, and unfortunately I just discovered I need to re-shoot a few things. :bang: I am working on that now and hope to post the video later today or tonight. Thanks for your patience while I get this ready. After too much delay...

These are great questions, @rvarick ! I see @TommyDee already weighed in, but I want ot add a couple of thoughts to his. Let me state this plainly: There is no inherent delay in activation from either type of switch. Close the contacts with either switch type and the heater will begin to...

Thanks! The price info is ready and I’ll be sharing it tomorrow. I wanted to get the new model info out today, in case there were questions or concerns about it.

Yes, basically. You will be able to choose this as an option when you purchase. This and the push button model will be priced the same. Push button and cap-as-switch models are 95% the same, the only differences being the presence or absence of the switch + hole and/or shunts (aka switch...

I'm back with a discussion-starter. :popcorn: I'm still working on completing Flite's documentation and web site updates, but I do have a new feature I'd like to share tonight, and I want to give folks a chance to talk about it and ask a few questions before Friday's launch. This idea comes...

Sorry to be the source of more frustrations, but I still have quite a bit left to do and don't have a "go live" time planned yet. I will give you as much advance notice as possible. Glass will be the default insert material, and carbon fiber will be an option. I am working on a FAQ now. :) For...

Hi @swieder711 - Thank you for your comment. One of the lessons I've learned the hard way with the FD is that although a waiting list can manage a queue, it creates it own issues, especially a need for a lot of additional back-and-forth communication for each sale I make. Now, don't get me...

That’s exactly the sort of info I’m pulling together. Flite battery specs: 3x 18350 cells flat top unprotected, aka “high discharge”, with a continuous discharge rate (CDR) of 9A or greater 1100 mAh or greater capacity recommended, though you can certainly use lower capacity batteries if you...

Hi @slowandsteady , it's coming along GREAT, and in fact, it's just about ready to go! The last parts are due to arrive Tuesday/Wednesday, so as long as nothing gets delayed, I expect to begin selling the Flite next week - probably Thursday or Friday. I will be selling it through my web store...

@Tick` : Thank you for telling me! I had not realized I was out of stock. I've just added another eight Flix to the store (one of each color), so you (and/or anyone else waiting) can order now, if you wish. Thanks!

It is very easy for me to omit or remove the LED. If you do order a Flix, send me an email or PM here, identify your order (either by name or order number), and tell me you want the bi-color LED omitted, and I'll remove it. It will still light up under the coil when activated, unless you tell me...

Hi @Tick` , Thanks for your interest in my heaters. I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding your question, but you can leave the Flix plugged in and turned on, ready to go, without any issues. You can activate it from either the push button or from the under coil switch. BTW, there's a slight...
