because the new fluxos have lots of issues, if I could find the old metal ones, I might consider doing that, they were hard to clean but they lasted long enough that I could just throw the things out. i didn't have juicy hits out of them which everyone seems to be saying is from condensation and whatnot.

this is exactly the reason why i'm going back to my hypermint juice. it isn't my favorite flavor, but I can stand it and it doesn't gunk up the stuff in two days like cinnamon and this cherry limeade i'm using.
I'm not a Chemist either, but I'm not Familiar with too many things that can "dissolve" Any Element.
Vinegar doesn't need to Completely Dissolve a Compound. If it acts more as a Surfactant and Reduces the Surface Bonds between the "gunk" and the Wick/Coil that is Good Enough for me.
I'll have to try vinegar. Lots cheaper than Everclear, which I currently use. Although I have pretty good success with it.
The Only downside that I see is 2oz of Vinegar in 10oz of Dr. Pepper Doesn't taste Nearly as Everclear does.
And even if your Carto is Dry Hitting, or Leaking for that matter, after 3 or 4 EverClear and D.P.'s you Don't even Notice it.
Or even Care if you Do.
When you brush them, do you rinse them out? I'd like to try that, but I was thinking that if the brush gets the gunk off and the coil and cup are not rinsed out afterwards, it'd just go into the juice...
Cheap Vodka works great for me... Of course I'm Russian, and Vodka has many applications, inside and out.
Nope. I just push the Dentak Brush besides the Wick/Coil and the cup and give it a Twist or Two on both sides at every refill.
I like to drag the brush on a Paper Towel to clean it after each Brushing. Sometimes I will dip the Brush in Vodka before Brushing.
Sometimes I don't if I'm feeling Lazy.

I use vodka too since with a severe allergy to corn everclear can kill me. Not russian here, but when I used to drink, it was definitely my drink of choice.
I'm too lazy to pull the cup seal out every filling. I just use the brush when I'm soaking the carto in Everclear.
two more in the past week have died, just vaping away and then dead. granted the one last night was due for a cleaning. I have one new vision to test with the new menthol/mint juice which doesn't destroy the coils so we will see if it lasts any longer, if it dies pretty much as quick, then I have to assume that visions suck.
now we all know the visions dont suck, they are the most sought after carto out there, the whole vision line sells to repeat customers unlike anything else out there.
change your juice as it may be the culprit.

i did change juice, will open up the new vision carto this weekend and try it out, i figure that may be a lot of the problem as the other juice was very sweet, but still i've thrown out fluxes because they didn't produce vape anymore without sucking for 20 seconds, but i've never had one that just up and died while in the middle of vaping.
I'm putting my money on the "House Built on Indian Burial Grounds" scenario. That or he is 6 years into 7 years of Bad Luck for Breaking a Mirror.

I probably have 7-8 visions extremes I've bought since October and I only have had one that died on me. The others are still going (some more than others, obviously, but I get at least 3 weeks of excellent vapor out of them). They do burn through the juice faster (that's why they taste so good) so I do have to dry burn them more often, but the only time I ever rinse mine out is if I've used a cinnamon or strong menthol juice. In all other cases, I've found it's enough to vape it as dry as I can and fill with new juice. I don't even empty it to do my dry burn and these things just keep working great. Try not to overthink it?
Rob, just curious. What are the specifics? What device are you using? Voltage, resistance of the Visions that keep popping, etc?
Yeah... Rob, in all seriousness, I feel bad for you. It's gotta be frustrating as hell.
hopefully the new clean juice will do the trick, filled the last vision regular up like 4 times tonight, hopefully it will at least make it through the week.
they are pretty cool when they are working, but the regulars lose the tops, so makes it hard to travel with them, i keep forgetting to go to home depot and get that rubber thing to keep the tops on, lost a top again today in my pocket, lucky the thing was just about empty.
Rob, have you tried the SmokTech Dual Coil Tanks?
I mean, come on, man. The top coils just aren't for you. Isn't it obvious? Why do you keep beating on them when they just don't work out for you? Give it up.

Turtle, Turtle... Tsk, tsk, tsk... We are supposed to be positive, and encourage people! You know:

BTW, what happened to your right hand?..
say i had a top come off too - IN MY POCKET.
guess where it was not designed to be carried - A POCKET.
FIX: don't carry in pocket. DUH.
even though you really want to. try your shirt pocket instead or get a lanyard (tie a string to an oring slip around mod)
i also found i had a cracked tube on that vision regular but it was the old original tube and had a sticker on it so i couldn't see it.
