Hi Dylan, flashed getters are not used in nixies (I havent seen it at least), just some VFD tube use flashed getters. Flashed getters leave a coating on a glass envelope of the tube - we don't want that. I think that kind of getter needs only initial activation by heat which could be done by induction heating as well as in the case of flashed getters. Look to IN-14 nixie, there is exactly the same pellet.
The only matter to solve will be attaching the pellet to a wire, but I think that will be possible to do by spot welding - inspired by IN-14.
