Hi all, OK, I finally finished editing the two videos I made demonstrating the various Flux Deluxe coil sizes. Here they are: Each video demonstrates six (!) different coil sizes. :worms: For each coil I demo, I perform (and time) an identical series of three heating cycles: Heating...

I have a very tame international example I can share: I brought a Flux Deluxe, a Dynavap Omni XL, and 6x 18650 batteries from San Francisco, US to Vancouver, Canada and back, in my carry on. No one cared. I went as a plebe without any security screening shortcuts, so my bags were subjected to...

Thanks! My friend who designed the logo had the same thought when we first discussed his design, so I'll let him know he was on to something ;) Yeah, I hope to do a case with design touches like that in the future, but this first batch of pre-machined cases will be very similar to the current...

Hi all, Thanks for the kind words, @flammy and @lookhigh ! Here are several quick updates for the Fluxer-curious. They're quick because I am still finalizing their details, but I haven't posted anything substantial in a few weeks and want to let you folks know what I am working on...

NO APOLOGY NECESSARY, @lookhigh ! I appreciate you working the problem and sharing your results! My biggest concern is someone without your level of electrical experience diving into their Flux Deluxe and inadvertently making it less safe. :haw: That would be bad. Since we have opened this can...

Thanks for reporting back on your experimentations, @lookhigh ! Your solutions are very creative. I like your first two experiments, but #3 gives me some pause. I'll get to that in a moment. First, though, I feel I need to state that as the builder, I would prefer to let the coil size determine...

I am going to put together a more comprehensive answer/document about the coil size, but let me answer @vapenerd 's specific question now: I drew up the above graphic for the original model with the solid state relay. Although most of the heaters I sell now use an electromechanical (aka...

Sorry for not getting back to you, @pxl_jockey - your DM came as I was traveling, and I forgot to follow up w/you. My bad. If you want to reduce the heat profile, we should swap you to a 16mm coil. I'll send you a DM and we can go from there. For other folks with FDs that heat more...

There isn't any room to move the coil up or down. I suppose it could be possible to remove the top o-ring and move the coil up the equivalent space - 1mm at most - but that's it. The coil insert is ~19mm tall. The coil is ten turns (10T). The tactile switch + pyrex button, PCB, and bottom...

You won't have to wait too much longer. I'll be sending out more order confirmation emails after the weekend. Cheers, :leaf:

Sorry, but no. First, that converter goes from 12v to 6v. This theoretical device would require one that goes the other way - 8.4v to 12.6v. These are bulky, and also more expensive, and not better than a third battery. Second, I tried this a year ago with the first version of this device...

Yes, the 15mm coil does heat aggressively. I have found you can reduce the aggressiveness somewhat with batteries like the Samsung 35E (or similar) that have a low continuous discharge rate (CDR). Sony VTC batteries have a CDR of 15A. Samsung 35E (and similar) have a CDR of 8A. I'd suggest...

@314 - I don't generally offer build advice in this thread, or advise other people on their builds, as I like to keep this thread focused on my heaters. I have answered your question via PM, though. Good luck w/your build.

Hi @flammy - sorry this last batch has taken me a bit more time, but I've had to do some traveling in the last six weeks, and that slowed my pace even further. I have some more travel to do at the end of next week, then should be done for a while. I'll get the next set of confirmation...

That's not bad, @Action , given that I mailed it yesterday afternoon. ;) (Action lives about 100 miles east of me, fwiw). Cheers, :leaf:

Yep, that's completely normal. For anyone else that wants to add themselves to the mailing list, please complete the form on this page: https://fluxerheaters.com/flux-deluxe-waiting-list I prefer to receive the above form, but if you sent me an email (fluxerheaters@gmail.com) instead there's...

The short answer is that yes, I'm still planning on circling back to the MF and offering it, too, when my time permits. The FD is pretty much done at this point - its current form and feature set checks off all of the boxes I had in my head for a device like it, and I think the current version...

I have been in touch with @ClearBlueLou and will be building a FD for him. He's been on the MF waiting list since early February, before my current FD cut-off date. It isn't his fault the MF still hasn't left the station. :rolleyes: :D Speaking of the Flux Deluxe waiting list, I continue to...

No, it should change and present a message that acknowledges you submitted something. More to the point, I haven't received my copy of your form yet, so please try again. I'll also suggest rebooting the device you are using for browsing that page, and to perhaps also try a different browser, if...

:love: That's a great vid, @vapognak ! You've captured the experience of using the Flux Deluxe better than my own vids have. Thanks so much for posting that! :clap::clap::clap: I know you waited a long time for your turn to come, so I'm glad you finally have it and are enjoying it! :tup...
