Thanks for your suggestions. My wheels grind slowly sometimes, but I will give this some consideration. :sherlock: Thanks!

Yes! I am implementing this immediately, with the current batch, and I only wish I had figured it out sooner. This is an extremely minor change from a production standpoint as it only requires one additional o-ring to install it raised, so this is really a win all around. I'll pull together a...

Happy Friday! Apologies for the novella below, but I have some actual knowledge to share with you folks today. :sherlock: Let's talk about heating coils, and how to improve the performance of the Flux Deluxe! As we know, the Dynavap + IH combo usually works quite well, but occasionally this...

Sorry. If you would, please let me know the email you used - a PM here or another email is fine. I'm hpapy to send you an invite but would like to determine why I missed you. Thx! Updated to add: Solved. D'Oh! :doh: Order confirmation email sent. :tup:

As I said on the other forum, thank you, @Terpenetime , for the very well written and well documented review! :clap: Your pictures are great, by the way! Thanks for taking the time to take such good pics! I am very happy you like it, and hope it works well for you! Use it in good health. :tup...

Yes, @triskelion it's fine to order two when your turn comes.

It’s a fair question. First and foremost, this thing is a heater, not a toy, and the coil gets quite hot. It’s in a small space, in a case made of aluminum, which is a good heat conductor. The device gets warm (but never hot) with repeated use. There is a thermal fuse next to the coil that...

Hi all, I have a pair of Friday Fluxer Updates for you - a product update first, followed by a business update. Custom Machined Cases - the first prototypes are in-house I am making some progress with my customized cases and wanted to share a few photos of the first prototypes. These arrived...

You don't have to decide "for reals" until I am actually about to build your heater. All of the info I collect initially is useful and helps me plan, but it isn't intended to lock you into one set of choices. The info you submit just before I build your heater - THAT's the one that determines...

FWIW, I just looked, and at first glance this doesn't appear to be too hard to pull off. There's a junction in the circuit that could be exploited to facilitate this, and it's even near a location on the PCB where I could locate a DIP switch. I'm not going to rush to add this immediately - sorry...

Funny you should ask that, @M3 Element, as I have been working on that and have an update: that capability will be be coming soon, at least for the green "power on" LED. The red side is going to continue to illumunate when the heater activates, at least for the time being. Current Flux Deluxe...

Sure - please send me a PM if you'd like, I'd be happy to benefit from your experience. My supplier is doing the cases for me, but they are in Asia and I was given the impression that 'machining before anodization' was my only option. But I will press for more info on this w/my supplier - thanks...

Hi, and thanks for the question. Yes, that's the idea behind it, at any rate. The thicker walled insert causes the heater to heat less efficiently as the work piece is held equidistant from the walls of the coil. Additionally, the thicker borosilicate material also very slightly blocks and...

And I am super happy to have finally reached your spot in the queue, @Terpenetime ! With the 20 emails I sent out today I am finally through all of March, 2019. Woo hoo! :clap: I'll also share w/ the thread what I shared w/you via email regarding the upcoming CNC'd cases: On Sunday night, I...

No worries. I did not have a waiting list form on my web site until just a few months ago, and before I added the form I was manually migrating names from email to waiting list. I display the waiting list date I am currently serving in my signature on this site. If you are viewing this site on...

Yes, when I get to you you can buy two, as long as one (or both) aren’t for immediate resale.

Thanks for mentioning this, @flammy ! I had some thoughts on this and haven't had time to post them yetm but your post is perfect! For folks that have found the 15mm (or any size) to heat too aggressively, the new LT caps should give you a bit better results. You'll still need good reflexes, but...

Outstanding, @poison ! I am happy that it reached you as quickly as it did! I think yours may be the first I've sent to Poland. :D Updated to add: I had to check, and it was only 8 days in transit. I mailed it on October 22 and it is presently October 30 here in fire-ravaged California. Nice to...

I hear your concerns, @Baron23 . I'll see what I can do to improve that part of the process in the future. For now, though, I feel confident I have received every email the waiting list form has generated, provided the submitter entered their email address correctly. For me, the bigger...

Sure. Thanks for the suggestion The videos are on both my web site and my YouTube channel, FWIW. But I’ll add links to my profile page and signature here when I’m at a computer.
