Sorry, @Dubmonkey , but that won't work. It's only a 1A charger, and the ZVS heater really needs 5A of current to operate. It wasn't designed to operate the way you are suggesting. There are ways to make it do what you want, and we can kick it around when I bring up the stuff I have in mind for...

I am going to quote @stardustsailor on this point: so in light of the above, it isn't recommended, but I do not prevent you from using it when plugged in. Not at the moment, but it's a great idea (if used responsibly :myday:) and you inspired me to order some, so this will be an option once...

Some Friday Fluxer Updates: Hi all, It has been great hearing from those of you who have received your heaters week! I am very happy that they are performing well, and people are happy with them. which is not to say they are perfect - I know of at least a few minor issues I will be...

That's great news, @Gray Area ! Thanks so much for taking the time to write that. I'm so glad it got there safely and is working well for you! The mains charger body has a status LED. Red = Charging; Green = Charged. You may not have noticed this capability yet. This is also why I need to...

Awesome, @Jill NYC ! Thanks for sharing that out. FWIW, a reminder that you do have the ability to lower the power to the heater via the adjustment potentiometer under the right battery (heater coil upper left). I ship these with the power set to max, so you can turn it down if it is too...

Your post-New Years Fluxer update Happy 2019, all! Hoping it's a better year than 2018. Several updates packed into this post. I got a lot done over the long weekend, and the first batch of Deluxes is now complete (less two still on the work bench). :rockon: I'm now sitting on a stash of 12...

Thanks, I'm certainly trying to.

Wow! I'm so glad it got there safely and is working well for you! Sounds like you are off to a good start with it! Thanks for that great and detailed write up, too! :tup: :D It's OK if the battery tray moves, as it isn't permanently attached - it's pinned in place by the pressure of the tan...

Of course! Stealth is a very worthy goal, and the LED is for informational purposes only. This is easy with a black case, as I’ll always have that, but if you want this with a different color, let me know ASAP, as I mark and drill cases in batches, and this will need to be a one-off. No...

Your Friday Fluxer update: This project has seen a lot of progress in December, and this last week was another important one. I began shipping heaters this week in quantity - a modest quantity, to be sure, but enough to demonstrate that I can complete 'em and get 'em out the door. I am working...

:clap: Sooo glad it got there, and before New Years, too! Gah! That sucks that your local vape shop/battery source is closed until then. Boooooo! ;) Also, it sounds like this custom's declaration worked for this shipment to the UK: "portable wax carving tool heater" gift Value: USD$20...

Post-holiday weekend update: Hi all - hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday! I spent some time in the shop over the long weekend and got a fair amount done. I have a batch of ~20 heaters, with five completed and fifteen needing the final assembly and QC testing. Not as many fully...

Thanks for the comment. I’ll consider your suggestion.

Thanks, I'll consider it.

Hi, Thanks for the comments! Just saw the question - sorry. >What is the surface where the vapcapmeets the bottom ?Does it lies directly on the metal casing or there is some buffer inbetween ? I use high quality, high temp tactile switches (link to MEC Switches 5ESH920 datasheet/specs PDF)...

As I said, I'll include one strap, which should be enough for most of us. If you want a 2nd strap, or 4 rubber feet, tell me when I invoice you, and I'll make a note of it then and include them. If this becomes a thing that everyone wants - in essence, if this becomes another requirement - it...

Happy Saturday night, all! These are coming along nicely: :D Regarding stick-on feet: Short answer: My gut says not everyone is going to want these, or need these. However, if you want stick-on silicone feet, tell me when I invoice you (only then, please, or I'll lose track!) and I...

Thanks, @Jill NYC ! I appreciate your sentiments! We have a lot of family in our area, on both sides, and we have family events scheduled on and off through New Years. We even like each other, lol, so no worries there, I'll have family time covered. :tup: I like my shop time, too, though! I...

Hi All, Your Thursday Fluxer Update: The electronic parts I was expecting did NOT arrive last night as I had been told they would, so no new Deluxes were made last night. :| UPS dropped the parts off this morning, however, so I expect to build out some more PCBs tonight and over the long...

Hi all, Back again with another episode of "How It's Made", lol. Actually, I'm still waiting for certain parts to arrive to build out the first batch of Deluxes - specifically, diodes and resistors. They should get here today. Since there's no shortage of other tasks that are also necessary to...
