:love: That’s awesome! Thanks for posting that, @mario ! I hope you feel better soon, too.

Hi @Slickwilly - sorry for the delayed reply. I saw your post a bit after you made it and had intended to go back, read it and reply, etc., but I must have gotten distracted. Sorry. The silicone pads look like an interesting solution, and I am very happy to check 'em out. I'll take that up...

Demystifying the waiting list: As of today (February 11) the Flux Deluxe waiting list is currently ~150 names, which is amazing to me! Thank you for your suport and belief in this project! The earliest name on the current list was added November 1. Yes, there is still someone on the list from...

Top Mount Temp Control feature introduction: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/fluxerheaters-com-new-induction-heaters-for-dynavap.33573/page-21#post-1346444 Top Mount Temp Control update/add'l info...

Hi @odc57 - The top mount temp control is just a feature - it brings convenience and immediacy to the temp control. It's intended to make it easy for you to use one power level for the first hit (maybe a quick full power cycle to get the piece warm), and a different power level for subsequent...

A peek at some progress - I've been making some heaters this weekend. Lots of 14mm, with a few 16mm. A mix of top mount controls and standard. This tray has 10 that are done, which is a lot for me in a weekend! The other three are ready to be fitted into cases, after which they'll be done, too...

Hi @testymctest - sorry for the delayed reply, but I wanted to work in the shop while I had the chance. I think my actual statement included another element as well: a cold Dynavap. In full: "Nothing is more stressful [to the FD] than heating a cold dynavap on the lowest setting with the...

Hi all, OK, finally feeling more like myself today, and less like the "before" person in a NyQuil advert. I spent a large portion of the last several days simply being sick and dealing with the effects of that. (Trip report: Not recommended.) The silver lining, however, is that I spent some...

It's not something I'm interested in doing at this time. Sorry.

Thanks @maxvapor710 ! Why...yes! TBH, it’s on my short list of tools I want to pick up, but I’m probably still a batch or two away from buying one. On my radar, though.

I decided to use another personal day for this cold I've been fighting and hopefully spare my colleagues from catching it. I was getting restless lying around in bed, though, and decided to make the most of the energy I had. What follows is a combo "How It's Made" (since you guys said you liked...

Hi all, Sorry for not completing more heaters over the weekend, but this cold kinda knocked me on my ass. At least I've been getting some rest. In project news, I did begin building the first of the top mount temp control units today before having to take a break for a while, as I mentioned in...

Hi all, Sorry for the extra delay recently with posts, progress, and getting batch #2 out the door. There's a lot to do, and only one of me, and sometimes the rest of my life loses patience with my induction heater obsession and insists I "do stuff," lol. I'm also fighting a minor cold at the...

Real quick update: Getting some stuff done this weekend. Fifty backing plates. Eighteen cases in progress in this pic - almost ready. One finished so far this weekend...:rolleyes::p But I am in good spot for making more - most of the prep work is done. Just need to build 'em, lol. More...

Sounds good, @Moses Baca ! I tested your power relay before installing it, and also tested the unit after it was built, but it's good practice to keep an eye on the power relay and make sure it behaves as expected. ;) BTW, I put a 10g packet of desiccant inside the heater to keep the...

>With the qc problem solved Well, while I certainly think I have this solved, I won't know for sure until I build some heaters without these issues. Time and testing will either confirm that or send me back looking for a better solution. But yes, if things are as I believe them to be, I think I...

A Batch #2 Update of Sorts, Featuring A Warning About Solid State Power Relays and the Joys of Quality Control As I am sure you guys know, Flux Deluxe Batch #2 has been taking me a while to build out. I have only shipped one (1) heater from batch #2 to date, though more are in progress and...

The 14mm coil heats more quickly than the 16mm coil. Not so quickly that things spontaneously combust, but quickly enough that you want to be on your toes when you use it. If you are a person that sometimes confuses the second click with the first click - or if you have a wonky vapcap that...

On reflection, saying I combusted once per night w/the 14mm coil was an overstatement. Sorry. It is easier to combust if you aren’t paying attention, but its behavior is consistent. I could have stated what I meant a bit better. Will post more when I have time.

Tip/Bonus Feature: Your Flux Deluxe as a plug-in desktop IH! This is how to use the Flux Deluxe with an external power supply, for whatever reasons you may have. Parts needed: 12V / 10A / 120W Power Supply similar to this one (unaffiliated link)...
