    Thank goodness! :D :cheers::tup: UPDATE ('cause the mods don't like separate back-to-back posts): The Fluxer Heaters' web store is now open! I'm going to let this info linger here for a bit before I send out a more general email to my Flix subscription list. Link to store. I have 39 Flix...

    That's pretty crazy, @Baron23 . Sorry it's taking such a roundabout route to reach you. :bang:

    Hi all, Back with a few Flix updates to share: First batch of Flix PCBs is done: First, I finished the first batch of eighteen Flix "production" PCBs last night, and now have a better idea of what that process involved and how long it took, etc. These PCBs are ready to go into cases: The...

    Been there, done that. :D Seriously, though, the Flix is designed to be a desktop heater. You can power it from other DC power sources if they can provide enough current, and these might include an external battery pack or an automotive cigarette lighter, but it was not designed to be a...

    With “only” 6.8A, I don’t think that power source will have enough juice at 12V. At 12V I think you need at least 9A.

    So a couple of notes on this subject: At full power (12.6VDC) the Flix heater will draw around 93 watts. You can run it with much less power than that, as @TommyDee explained, if you reduce the operating voltage, and most users will probably find that they enjoy a mix of both low and regular...

    Back with another Flix update, but I think it's a good one. :popcorn: There have been a few more twists to the Flix story since I posted last night, involving the usual elements of new parts not fitting as expected. This story has a happy ending, but I'll try to keep it brief. The ZVS...

    Some Friday Fluxer Updates to Share 1. Flix Cases and Switches: The biggest news is that the Flix cases and switches arrived, and they turned out exactly as I ordered them! Woo hoo! This is a HUGE relief! I'll be sharing some pictures this weekend, as soon as I build out some samples. 2. Flix...

    The Flix should begin to be available within 2-3 weeks. I'll be posting more info on ordering before they go on sale. If I notify you about being able to buy a Flux Deluxe and you want to wait to buy a Flix as well, let me know when the time comes. Please send me an email - not a PM, thank you...

    That pretty much sums it up. The FD's just take time to make, and as a result there's a long waiting list. Please be patient, and I'll get to you as soon as I can. BTW, I just sent out last of the order confirmation emails for those who signed up in August, 2019, so if you were expecting one...

    1. I do not recommend using the heater while charging it, as that is hard on the cells. 2. The battery will drain a tiny bit if you leave the power on. The Green LED only uses 20mA, which is a very small amount of electricity. You can also turn it off via a DIP switch on the circuit board...

    That’s correct. The options for a Dark Green case and/or a carbon fiber insert are also exclusiveto the Standard model.

    I hope everyone's week is going well. Here are a few Fluxer updates to share: Flix: Cases and switches: On Monday I paid the invoice for the first order of Flix cases and switches, so stuff is happening. :rockon: I'm told the cases have been machined and are being anodized this week, and will...

    Good question, @letter never sent. The ZVS circuit is good to ~15VDC. I am not which components might fail at 24V, butI think it would include the coil on the Flix’s power relay, among other things.

    Great questions, @ Mono Loco ! My numbering scheme is my own, but in general, major revs get their own point number. Version 1.0 used the original power relay, while version 1.1 and 1.2 use the new one. In version 1.1, the new power relay was located in the center of the PCB as that was the...

    Some Flix updates for your Saturday I need to start this update with a HUGE shoutout to @TommyDee , who saw the Flix introduction video a few weeks ago and immediately wrote me a PM to lobby me to change the Flix's power relay to one with a lower operating voltage. He was very persuasive. :nod...

    A lot of poeple added themselves to the FD waiting list in the second half of August, so I had to split late August into two cohorts. I’m up to August 24, FWIW, but the link to update my signature has disappeared. :ninja: I expect to send emails to the remaining August folks this week. I’ll have...

    OK, might as well get this party started. Here's the new thing I hinted at earlier. It's NOT the Flix - I'm gonna post a lot more on that model very soon. Meet the Fluxer Duo. This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. but this came about because I wanted one, and I feel it's at a point...
