That is really a question , with no clear answer . While the smokeymizer , is supposed to be an upgraded ce-2 , a lot of people still prefer the older fluxomizers/clearomizers , over the smokeys . The ce-2's tend to give a cooler vapor (IMO) but the plastic casing , tends to crack easier . I've always had pretty good luck with mine , and with cleanings , last quite a long time . Now on to the smokey's . I have to admit , Ilike these too . a bit sturdier , still easy to use , and last a long time . That being said , the vapor seemed a bit warmer on these , but I was ok with that . TH seemed to be about the same to me . So I fuess it's really up to you to decide . Get some of each , and decide for yourself .

The Smokeymizer is a bottom coil while the Fluxomizer is a top coil, what that means it the coil on the Smokeymizer is next to the battery connector were the Fluxomizers is at the mouthpiece end. The Smokeymizers seems to do better with PG/VG mix since the coil is on the bottom, my problem with them is 1) you can't clean them and 2) you have a little plug you have to remove to fill. The Fluxomizers on the other hand don't wick well with thick liquid, I don't have any trouble since I use 100% PG. They're real easy to take apart and clean, I've been using the same two for two weeks now and just cleaned them and they work like new. Check out the videos on GotVapes on how to clean them, it's real easy.

This except I have had no wicking probs with my vg mixes(usually higher vg than average +30 % ).

I really like the CE3's but like what Renzuli said, the ceramic tube cracks where the battery goes in. Also, it vapes better with the fluid form vaporkings.com (which uses a PG based mix) as opposed to some I got form vikingvapor.com, which I got a 25/75 VG/PG mix. I should be getting the smokymizers today in the mail, and I'm glad to hear that they work better with a VG/PG mix, because I've had to go back to some older clearomizers to get that nice throat hit that we all long for. Just wish they had more colors than clear and green.

As far as I can tell, the Gotvapes Deluxe Fluxomizers are CE3 Smokymizers or a prerelease version of them. If Gotvapes had them make any changes at all I am sure they will point that out on their site so go look. The only thing odd is that Gotvapes got them a couple of weeks before other shops. They both have the new semi-clear tube that is supposed to not crack or leak. They may also be slightly thicker diameter than CE2.

If you means the OLD clear Fluxomizers, those were CE2 with the totally clear cracking leaking falling apart tube.

The latest release CE2 and CE3 use the same tube. It might be cut to a different length between them but the same material and same thickness. They finally got right, one thing some might not like is it has a ticker outer diameter and won't fit through a unmodified Ego/Riva cone.

I got some of these in the mail today. They look ok, but I plan to fill tonight and see. That plug does look a bit problematic. I'm also hoping I can skip syringe filling and use one of the nipples I have from a sapphire to go direct from bottle to c3. And while we are on the subject, the sapphire and the ce3 seem to have quite a bit in common. The GV plug for the sapphire is clearly a better design there b/c you can get at the plug w/ your fingers, but some of these have leaked from the base on me. I shall fool with them tonight and offer some initial review tomorrow.

No, as I said earlier, the Smokeymizer is a bottom coil and the Fluxomizer is a top coil, two completely different items.
