@Verax , sorry it's been such a long wait, but as @Terpenetime said I suspended new production for several months (from mid-March through end of May) while I chased various issues and tried out different solutions. I got it stabilized in the end, but it took some extra time. The project...

Thanks so much for taking the time to post that, @Moses Baca ! I'm very glad it's working so well for you guys, and also very pleased you like the new circuit! You've been using this thing since February, so you're in a great position to judge it. Thanks for validating my own impressions that...

Thanks for your question, @Nilsson . I think you will alll find this interesting. There are currently ~450 people on the waiting list, which is amazing! Thank you for your interest in this heater! To this point, my conversion rate from "on the waiting list" to "customer" has been around 55%: I...

Thanks for your interest. If you sent me an email request to be added to the list, I have the info I need for now. You are good. :tup: I appreciate the logic behind the recommendation to submit again, but as the guy who has to de-dupe the list (i.e., remove duplicates), please submit only one...

@Lozo : PM sent. To all: If you are NOT on the Flux Deluxe waiting list and would like to add yourself, please use this link: https://fluxerheaters.com/flux-deluxe-waiting-listlease There is no need to do this if you have already asked to be put on the list! Thanks! I am almost done...

Surprise new feature time! Hi all, Someone recently requested an alternate to the Flux Deluxe's glass insert, something better able to survive a bump or a fall. I was on board once we established that it didn't need to be transparent or even LED-friendly. It sounded like a very reasonable...

OK, just sent out the latest batch what I call "Order Confirmation invitations." This batch now includes everyone who signed up for the FD waiting list on or before February 3! Woo hoo, I have finally reached out to all of the people who signed up in January! :rockon:

Both of these posts are correct. I was not trying to speed past these points in my earlier post, but I will expand on them a bit here. The new design does not currently have a trim pot or other means of adjustment, apart from coil size. I looked into adding one, but this design would require a...

Flux Deluxe S/N 100 - up next! :rockon: Hi all, I am right on the doorstep of making Flux Deluxe #100, so it seems like a good time for an update on the project. It's been about a month since I began making new heaters again, and about six weeks since I changed to a more reliable heater...

:ugh: Is everything OK? I assume it is or I believe I would have heard from you separately, but if it isn't please send an email or PM. Sorry for the scare. I hope it is otherwise working well for you...

Hi! Thanks for asking - Production is going very well and I have been hitting my 2-per-day goal. :rockon: I am on the door-step of Flux Deluxe #100 (I shipped #99 today), and am putting together a post with some news about an upcoming improvement/simplification to the design that should improve...

Hang in there, @WelshBrok . I have seen these go "missing" in various postal systems before, and they have always reappeared. Let's hope yours finds its way to you (or at least to the surface) soon.

Here are the general instructions, w/pictures: https://fluxerheaters.com/faq-and-other-resources Here's the PDF version, w/pictures of your extra spacer, from the above page: FD battery spacer install instructions (pdf)Download :tup: Cheers, :leaf:

@Darr1 , please check your email. We’ll get it sorted out.

:tup: Thank you, @Chandler , for that very thoughtful write-up! I'm glad it got there so quickly and seems to be working well. I'm sure you'll figure out a method that works for you fairly quickly. And if you haven't tried adjusting the temp trim pot yet, you should do so. It comes set to full...

The one pictured isn't @Fat Freddy's , so he probably can't get it to light up. I think he was just happy to see that I had finally acted on his request: He mentioned that he wanted to see it in wood about 40 pages back in this thread, so it's nice to finally have something to show off. ;)...

Hi all, Wow - I just realized that it's been almost two weeks since I last posted to this thread! Hi! :wave: I should give you folks an update. In short: Since switching to the new MOSFETs, things at Fluxer have been quiet, calm, and stable. The new MOSFETs are working as expected. :clap...

Thanks for plowing through, @Extrapunkt ! WRT to this: Thanks, that's a good suggestion and I'll do that. I am typically able reply, but I have also been in the uncomfortable position of falling waaaaaaay behind of long list of waiting list requests, and I have been guilty of choosing...

"If I contacted you in April about making you a new heater but haven't followed through yet, expect to get another email from me this week to reconfirm your choices and see if you have any interest in my latest options." Sorry if I was too wordy. What I meant was: If I contacted you in April...

Production is starting back up this week! The dates in my signature are correct: I am currently making heaters for people who joined the list on or before January 13. I'll be making another post on my expected progress, etc., in a bit. If you have been following the Flux Deluxe vs. MOSFET...
