As a rule of thumb, smaller diameter coil heats more quickly than larger diameter coils.
16mm is the less aggressive standard heating coil size. It takes slightly longer to heat, and produces slightly more vapor. This size works well with titanium tips and very well with stainless steel tips, as their greater mass benefits from the increased heating time of the larger sized coil.
15mm is the more aggressive standard heating coil size, when compared to the 16mm coil. This size works well with stainless steel tips, and very well with titanium tips due to their increased responsiveness.

The Flux deluxe uses three (3) rechargeable 18650 batteries*, in series. The lid is attached magnetically, and you can quickly remove it to change batteries.
The 18650 battery is the most commonly used rechargeable battery in the world, and is available from online retailers (Amazon, WallMart, Illumn.com, etc.) and also from your local e-cigarette vape store.
*Use any three identical, flat top, unprotected 18650 batteries. Batteries are NOT included!
With an extra set of batteries and an external charger (not included), it is possible to always have a set charged and ready to go.
Analog Power Relay for Reliability
Choose your coil size and heating profile
Custom Designed Circuit Board with SMD Components
New for Summer 2019, the Flux Deluxe now simplifies its power circuitry by using a tiny, sealed, analog, electro-mechanical power relay.
This analog relay has several advantages over the solid state relay it replaces. If gives the heater a slower ramp time, which improves flavor and extraction. Additionally, the analog part simplifies the circuit and should prove to be more reliable, too.
Finally, the relay also has the effect of improving the heat penetration of each coil size. Keep this in mind if you are thinking of getting a 14mm coil. All-flower users may find the 14mm coil to be too hot on the second (and subsequent) heating cycles of a given load, requiring strategies like pulling before the second click.

Custom Designed Circuit Board with SMD Components
The Flux Deluxe was designed from scratch in October 2018 to heat vapcaps. It made its debut in December 2018 and has been continually refined and improved since then.
At the heart of the Flux Deluxe is its custom PCB, which I designed. The compact PCB enables the Flux Deluxe to carry out its mission of heating vapcaps to perfection.
Mains Battery Charger Included

Mains Battery Charger Included
One 12VDC / 1A mains battery charger w/LED charging status indicator is included.
The battery charger plugs into the Flux Deluxe's DC
NOTE: You must operate the Flux Deluxe from its batteries. This charger is ONLY for charging.
Choices include US, UK, EU, AUS/NZ, or 12V automotive/cigarette lighter.
Additional chargers available for $10 each
Safety and Circuit Protections
Custom Designed Circuit Board with SMD Components
Mains Battery Charger Included
- PPTC power fuses, shown above, protect against shorts and reverse polarity. The two 4.5A PPTC fuses provide 9A of protection. If faulted, they are reset automatically by cycling the power circuit.
- A thermal fuse positioned next to the coil disconnects the battery when it senses temps in excess of 110°C, protecting against overheating. If tripped, the thermal fuse automatically resets when its temp drops below 110°C (typically less than 30 seconds).
- A tactile switch signal filter protects all four MOSFETS in the circuit from the noise causes by the tactile switch. This reduces the risk of MOSFET failure and extends the life of the heater.
Standard Case Colors
Anodized Aluminum Cases, Magnetically Attached Lids
The Flux Deluxe Base model is available in your choice of three colors: Black, Gun Metal, or Purple, as shown at right; Dark Green in not available as a standard color for this model. For additional case color options, see the Fluxer Heaters Custom Shop.
The Flux Deluxe Standard model is available in your choice of four colors: Black, Dark Green, Gun Metal, or Purple, as shown at right. For additional case color options, see the Fluxer Heaters Custom Shop.
Flux Deluxe Custom Case Colors
Custom colors, subject to availability
In addition to the standard case colors shown in the top section, I also offer the Flux deluxe in the case colors shown above. These cases require additonal machining to prepare them for use, and this is reflected in the additional cost, which is currently $15 for colors in stock, $20 for colors that must be special ordered. Current stock varies, please inquire about current availability at time of purchase.
All cases come with a silicone gasket and magnets at each corner pre-installed.
The case colors shown above are representative examples. The actual color of your case may vary slightly from what is shown.
The Dark Green color is similar to Forest Green. It is NOT Olive Drab.
The cases are generally uniform, but may occasionally include slight variations and/or artifacts from the machining and/or anodization processes.
Custom colors: +$15 for colors in stock, $20 for colors that must be special ordered. If interested please ask about current color availability at time of purchase.

Built-In Battery Meter for New Heaters
The Standard model includes a built-in battery meter that displays battery condition using the bi-color LED.
Push the on/off switch back towards the battery pack to momentarily activate the meter, release the switch to dismiss.
If the meter displays:
Green LED only, available power is > 11.6V
Both LEDs in proportion, power is 11.5V to 10.7V
Red LED only, available power is < 10.6V (i.e., time to recharge or swap batteries)
