Hi @mario - I serialize the units in the order I invoice them. I found it was too hard for me to properly track them otherwise. Plus I have some amount of attrition on the list, so it only becomes a "real" unit when I invoice for it ;) Cheers

:love: Thanks, @Jill NYC ! I am SO happy it's still working well for you!! Your post really made my day! :)

Quick Tuesday update: I sent out a few more pre-build emails for batch #2 just now, for a total of 20 names. I have now attempted to contact everyone who signed up prior to December 12. We'll see how many respond ;) I'll build these out as soon as I have enough info to do so, btw, so an early...

Thanks, @Abysmal Vapor , that's a solid recommendation. :tup: I appreciate you sharing your similar experience, too. Yeah, lesson learned. Cheaper is cheaper for all of the usual reasons. I am going to investigate some different sources when I need to restock.

Guys - I sent emails to the first dozen names. I’ve gotten three replies so far. There will be more emails once I get a sense of the non-response/attrition rate. I’m going to wait a day and see how quickly the first dozen respond before I send more. Thanks again for your patience!

HI all, OK, I think I have all of my cleared all of my current production concerns, and am eager to build out batch #2 and get them into your hands!! Confirming your colors, coils, and other build options prior to building your batch #2 Flux Deluxe As I work down my list, I will send you an...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. Update: OK, some good news - I do, indeed, have some bad power relays. I also have some good ones, though, so it will be OK. I was able to confirm that bad relays were keeping the heaters from functioning, and good relays allow them to function. That takes a HUGE...

A quick Sunday midday Fluxer update: Hi all, I am deep into making batch #2: The good news: I have 45+ finished, ready-to-use battery packs! (As I mentioned previously, these actually take more time to make than the circuit boards or cases.) I also have 50 of cases on hand, in...

:clap::clap::clap: :tup::tup::tup: :rockon::rockon::rockon: Thank goodness - I would have been worried if you had not modded yours! ;) Thanks for posting the pics and the review, @stardustsailor! :love: You had mentioned your cap-as-the-actual-switch idea a few months ago and I was...

Not a lot, but some. As I said above, 1-2 seconds delay with the 14mm coil. I have a video demo of the feature with the stock trim pot/16mm coil. Look at the Fluxer Heaters YT channel. On my phone so I’m not going to try to link to it. I’ll post a new demo with this feature and its effect...

Thursday Fluxer Updates: New (optional) feature announcement: An optional, top-side temp control is coming to the Flux Deluxe! :rockon: I'm sharing a first look at a new feature for the Flux Deluxe. This feature is not ready today, but it is very close, and I anticipate it being available for...

The mains charging adapters I ship with the heaters are LiPo chargers, and while not as good as a NiteCore standalone, they do the job, and they include logic that will switch off their charging circuit when they detect a full battery. When plugged into your mains power source and the heater...

Hi all, Here's a quick video I threw together comparing the ABV from two identical sessions with the two coil sizes, 16mm coil vs 14mm. (Fun times, BTW!) Let me know if this is helpful. I found a couple of US sources for the 14mm inserts I intend to use for the narrower coils, and have some...

I am not able to thread-sit today, but I have a few minutes now to respond, and there are a ton of questions/comments, so I'll address what I can. Sorry if my replies short change anyone. The FD is as smallest IH I can make it with 18650 batteries. A smaller IH requires a smaller power source...

:tup::clap: Thanks. I'm taking note of your suggestions, and frankly they're very good. Now that I have a base model, I'll see what I can do to offer these sorts of options in the future. Some of your requests are easier to accommodate than others - I can probably sneak a simple jumper or DIP...

No problem. Your questions are good, so please keep asking them. :nod: That's another good question, @ClearBlueLou . I'll try to explain my thoughts. This temp control circuit grew out of the resistor+capacitor (RC) debounce circuit I came up with. It takes advantage of the fact that the...

Really quick answers for now because we are making dinner. ;) 14mm vs 16mm coils = different strokes for different folks. ??? It's a difference of diameter. No harm will come to the switch, and there's even less of a chance now that the switch caps are standard. No risk here, except for an...

Tuesday Fluxer Update Hi all, Yesterday's updates were extensive. Today's are brief by comparison. Flux Deluxe Batch #1 Fulfilment items: Shipped! Huzzah! Let me know when you get 'em, PM me if you have questions, etc. These have been on my mind since the first of the year, so it was a great...

Yes, @-dab8- , you are correct - the temp control will allow for some degree of compensation, especially with the range extension that feature is going to get. That feature is a can of worms ( :worms: ), though, and I want to frame its discussion a bit before we dive into it. Expect an on-topic...

Fluxer R&D News: 14mm vs 16mm Work Coil Diameters One of the nice things about diving into a goal-oriented project like this is that you don't know exactly where it's going to lead. You know in general terms what you want to do ("I want to build a small, portable induction heater," say), but...
