Sorry about skipping over the battery question, I didn’t mean to. If you square up the cell above the contacts so the battery poles are perpindicular to the contacts and push straight down, you may have more success. Please use the battery strap to remove cells. Center the strap under the...

I'm working on it! I ran out of a few components and have more parts coming today. The payment side was a huge concern, but it looks like Zelle, checks, and money orders will work, at least for US customers. Payments from international customers still present challenges for me, and I'm working...

My heaters with batteries come with chargers that output 12.6VDC @ 1 amp. They use tips that are 2.1mm x 5.5mm, center positive. The chargers I use are generic, so any charger that meets those specs should work. There are other, more aggressive chargers out there, but please consult your...

OK, gonna sign off for a while and get some rest, but I'll try to end today with some more hopeful thoughts. First, although new sales will be prohibited, repairs may be OK as long as we can find a carrier that will transport. Carrier to be determined. Second, I didn't realize it, but I have...

That top link is quite good, @TommyDee ! Thanks for digging that up. This part sums up the situation I face very, very well: ^^^ THIS! This is the piece of the new regulations that is actually going to kill Fluxer. Even if I could find a vape-friendly carrier, I can't meet the new reporting...

I’m not sure and am researching that. I build these to be sturdy and repairable as we both want them to last for a very long time. I don’t make the law, though. The “final” formulation of the new rules will be posted on or by April 27, which is 120 days after the law passed. We may need to wait...

Cool, @Jethro ! Glad it got there and is working. I hear ya, but unfortunately this law is definitely, 100% gonna stop me from vending these after mid-March. 👮‍♂️⚖️ I can't continue to sell and operate Fluxer as I had been doing, period. The law has some add'l monthly, state-by-state...

The batteries will get hot during use, and a small air gap is good. I'm not sure you'd want to insulate them even more. :hmm: There should be a small silicone tensioning disk between the white rectangular relay and the rear of the case, anchoring the whole thing into the case. I can't see it...

The Flix and Flite are a bit different in their heating profiles, as they use different component configurations due to their different sources of power. The Flix is not quite as aggressive as the Flite, because it can afford to be less efficient due to its unlimited power source. If you like...

Cool, glad that we're square on the first effort! There are roadside ads here in CA for weed delivery services that will gladly bring it to you at your home, office, or wherever. So yeah, ironically now weed is legal, but heating it electronically is a no-no. :shrug: Also, just in case this...

Hi all, Just a quick Monday morning note to say how much I appreciate ALL of the support you showed me this weekend. :love: Thank you! It does make this shitty situation better. After mulling about things over all weekend, I have some immediate plans with regards to the payment processor...

If it's the 2A charger w/a status LED: Yes, it shuts off when the charge is complete and the LED switches to green.

^^^ I'm not arguing, @RustyOldNail , that is what I call them on customs forms and such. But I also have demo videos linked on my web site and YT that show me using them to heat stuff that's definitely not a "wax carving tool," and I have a 130+ page thread on here that's light on wax carving...

I truly appreciate all of your support, and will get through this. Thank you! :wave: I've cancelled and refunded all purchases from last week. Thanks to all that wanted to buy! I hope to put these same heaters back up for sale very soon, pending the selection of an alternate payment processor...

Hi all, This isn't a post I enjoyed drafting, but after giving this situation with Paypal some thought and doing some research, it seems very likely that PayPal will take any money left in my business account after they complete their review (for "penalties"). In light of this, I’ve concluded...

Hi all, A brief update on things, some good news, some less so. On the good side: I have started to ship the heaters from last week's batches. Thank you to everyone who purchased one! The heaters are >80% built and I am going through the final steps of installing coils, testing, packing, and...

Hi @dantemaniaco , I'm glad it got there safely. Thanks again for being part of the first batch! I'm sorry you aren't liking the cap-as-switch. :\ One thing you can try that might make things better: use a paperclip or a similar to make a small, "L"-shaped tool, and use this to lift the...

^^^ :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: Thank you! Could not have said that any better myself!

I appreciate the info, @Sn4Pz ! For context, here's some "power scale pedantry" for a Saturday afternoon. Just sharing this with the thread for what it is worth: The Flite uses about 8A-9A of power at peak. The capital A in this case means "Amp." A typical LED uses ~20mA of current. The "mA"...

Magnet info As more Flite make their way out into the world, I want to take a moment and share some info on the N52 magnets that hold the lid to the body. Neodymium magnets are strong little buggers! They mostly stay in place, but because aluminum expands and contracts with heat they can...
