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.
I'm right there with you, Jan 7th for me...damn my procrastination!! I'll work on that later....
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 response works to your favor.
Cheers,
Well at least I didn't wait as long as these guys.
So I guess ya probly don’t want to hear that I am enjoying mine and never even knew about a waiting list?
i got on the list 1/11. i cant wait...congrats on all of you getting your flux deluxe emails and devices.thank you jeff.
So, figured I’d get us back on track in the thread and give you all an update on my FD after a month of use.
I frigin’ love this thing! It is my first (and probably only) IH, so a lot of the love is just having an IH.
But the FD works great. I got the care package from @mr_cfromcali and was able to put in the glass thingy. It did take a few minutes but only because it’s a small space to work with. It is clicked in place and the performance has not changed. All good.
I am using my VC far more than before, and the taste is consistently excellent. So far, not a single combustion incident with the FD (and I def had a few when using the torch).
I find I like using the SS tip more than the Ti. It has a little more forgiveness on timing and I can sometimes even get two hits from same heat up.
I am very happy with the 16 mm coil, for the same “forgiving” reason. I don’t want to have to do any excessive “thinking” while using it, so if I go a second or two over, it doesn’t matter.
The “better than nothing” battery gauge is helpful, thanks Mr C for so generously sending! As soon as I got it, I plugged it in and it didn’t work... coincidentally, my batteries were dead. When I put them on the charger, they were at 3.04 v. Probably a lot lower than advised! So now I will be able to recharge in a more healthy manner for batteries. And once I charged the batteries, the gauge worked.
I added a couple of stickers to the inside of my lid (sorry, I really like the minimalist look and didn’t want to add any outside stickers. But I love the logo!) I am proud to have FD #12!
Bottom line, loving my FD. Be patient and have trust in Mr C and soon you will all be dipping and sipping or going full throttle. Whatever floats your boat.
