Maybe he realized the MadHeaters super cool IH, that is still a now 3 year old concept, may never be a real product, and there are interested IH buyers out there?

Man, the Flite is so sweet the Wand's his only competition. Well, and the Camouflet Inductor, but that one's a whole station and hard to pocket.

I imagine he's still resting up from the last runs he did--we really ran him ragged. There's a lot more worthy competition around, my comments above notwithstanding, but I think if the Fluxers returned they would do as well because they're solid and cutting edge. The controllable pwm is brilliant and something even the Wand doesn't do. You can really tailor it to your needs. ; )

Barely-used Flite for sale:
Completed - Fluxer Flite No. 50 *Price Drop*
Black Fluxer Flite in very good condition. It was mainly a drawer queen and never saw the light of day. It has a green button on the side and when pressed it lights up the coil green. The coil was the less hot option. It roasts a bowl nicely in 3-4 clicks. It DOES NOT have the cap as switch...

My Flux Deluxe is still going strong after over 3 and a half years and a few sets of 18650's, but it's definitely showing signs of age and I'm sure will have something go on it eventually. Some of the magnets fell out and like a dummy, I glued one in backwards, so now the elastic is required.
Interesting discussion. There's definitely still a market for him imo as I just recently shopped around for a plug in one and poked around at the various retail options available.
I thought the Mad Heaters IH seemed too good to be true. And after years of use, I think I'm more than happy with basic IH functionality and don't think I'd buy it anyways. I own a PS Mini, Flux Deluxe, UFO, and just ordered a Caldron to have more of a station for it and forego batteries at home. Never tried a wand but was definitely curious when I bought the UFO. The 3 I've used so far all vary a bit in functionality, but after getting used to each of them, I don't find any of the differences big enough to have me leaning one way or another.

I've had my Deluxe for 3.5 now and I've had a magnet come free. Only actual problem with it. I'd love to have it retrofit with passthrough and PWM. I'd use it daily on my desktop then. My Flite goes hiking with me every weekend, one of my best and most reliable vape related purchases. It's built like a rock and still going strong.

Ya that would be a great retrofit idea. I remember being a little disappointed that the Flux Deluxe wasn't dual purpose after realizing how little I vape out of the home. The Portside Mini technically works with the charger plugged in and before I bought the Caldron was gonna use it as a desktop, but the charger hisses and while that's normal, it doesn't make me feel great about it. Plus it's a very high pitched annoying buzz.
Never did get on the Flite train, but it was intriguing. His work was always interesting to follow. Loved the painstaking work and passion behind it.
I really like the UFO so far with its no insertion cup button operation, and I think it technically works while plugged in, but I won't test that as I bought it mostly because it was the smallest IH I could find. Just wanted something as small as possible for the rink parking lot before I head in for some hockey. Would love a slim rounded tube design one day that maybe fits in the hand a little nicer.

My flite died on me during the summer.
What a tragedy!
No warning, just stop working after 2.5 years of regular use.
I did contact the maker. A ‘Fatal event’ hard to repair. It sure didn’t seem like a comeback was in his plans at that time.
I’m still a fan. Great IH.
Wish mine still worked.

Word of warning for those looking for replacement batteries for their Flite (18350s): I tried replacing the ones that came with my Flite (Keeppower) with the same battery (UH1835P; from Illumn), and found that these are now too wide for the Flite. 
That said, any recommendations on other currently available 18350s with at least 10A CDR, that fit the Flite?

I don’t own a Flite, but there are a few 18350’s at link below. I’ve used the Epoch ones in my mini Davinci.
Never liked 18350’s in general…. Good luck.

Thanks! I did find a Vapcell 10A option there which I hadn't come across elsewhere, and which apparently passed Mooch's testing, so I went with itI don’t own a Flite, but there are a few 18350’s at link below. I’ve used the Epoch ones in my mini Davinci.

We tested 3 manufacturers of 18350 cells when Flite came out: Vapcell (purple), Efest, and Keeppower. Each performed very well at the time. Over time, Efest went back to their usual lesser quality; Vapcell I don't have a lot of experience with; and Keeppower was a really nice cell as well. Not sure what they do now.
That Epoch is probably another Vapcell if you go by the specs.
For really good low internal resistance numbers, LiPo seems to hold up better. The internal resistance test is what provides the best read on how good the cells are. I am running a set that came in at around 80 mohm after 3 months use. Same batch of cells had reading well over 100 (Efest).

So to confirm - you're running LiPo's in your Flite? If so what brand?

Thanks for confirming - makes sense.
Thanks again for the 18650BatteryStore recommendation. The Vapcell 10A 18350s I picked up there fit and work well in my Flite, I'm happy to report.I don’t own a Flite, but there are a few 18350’s at link below. I’ve used the Epoch ones in my mini Davinci.

I own 3 Fluxer devices but have been enjoying concentrates more and using my more purpose built dab devices. Just dug them all out of deep storage and got some tasty flower going. Hope Fluxer does indeed do something soon, these devices are awesome. I keep wondering if I should sell them, since I use an electric honey straw directly in my concentrate dish.. but if I ever go back to flower I'd be sorry. Enjoying a reuniting of my Flix and Flux deluxe right now though!
ElMismo, what happened to your Flite?? So sad...

Yeah, I bought a wand but the form factor really isn't any better than my Pipes pocket IH for actual pocket use (it's great otherwise I must admit).
I really wanted a Flite though
