CE2-XL --FLUXomizer

[FantWriter]

Ahhh moment. I have been refilling the ce2's successfully in various ways but I think the syringe needle is the easiest and fastest - the only problem I have had was sucking up juice from the bottle with the needle I have 22 gauge but I do manage it. Your solution is perfect!

I use two needles -- a 16ga to fill the syringe, a 20ga to inject. I was afraid it would be messy, but if you put the caps on to remove/install the needle, it's fine. I haven't had any trouble pulling up 80VG/20PG with a 16ga.

you have to make sure the plastic cylinder goes down all the way - over the threaded end. Be very careful because the wire breaks

I have not had luck taking them apart without pushing the silicone plug at the same time. I dont put the plug back in either and just put the little mouth piece back on and vape slow or get a mouth full of juice. If you put the plug back in you need to line up the groves with the wick. A wooden scewer (flat end) works the best for me.

This was the part I'm talking about. I guess you don't really need to put it back? That's easier anyway, just put the mouthpiece on and go... easier to fill too.

Tricky to fill but great once i got them going,

I wrote that on the fly. Looking at their website, i find it's $1.99 for a pack of five (I knew it was cheap and had more than I needed).

Thanks again, I just got some 18 gage 1.5 inches long and a 5ml syringe for a whopping $2.63 out the door.
Easily reaches into the juice bottle and makes filling these thing one heck of a lot less messy and fast.
Also all the wicking problems I had at first I solved by loosening the main seal on top of the cup just a tiny bit with a paper clip like the video showed.
The information available here is amazing, Thanks to all of you fine folks!!!

Hey Rosa,
The problem with getting the silicon seal back in is that the ceramic cup is not always perfectly centered. You can take a toothpick and actually move it around until you get it just right. Yeah they are definitely a freaking pain to fill, but work great once you get them filled. There has got to be a better way.
I hate getting juice in my mouth, and it gives me the hiccups.

I hate getting juice in my mouth, and it gives me the hiccups.

What I love about the ceramics is that no juice gets on my lips or tongue. I don't mess with the seal between the cup and the tube. I saw a video of a supposed expert showing how to remove it, but that goes completely against the whole principle. When you use a syringe/needle to fill them and insert the clear o-ring, all the juice is trapped -- it's only way out is by being wicked to the coil.

It is a bit of a hassle using a syringe and needle, but it's actually easier for me than trying to control drops down the side of the tube (I have an intention tremor, which means that the more I try to hold something steady, the more my hand shakes).

I take out the o ring, then use a standard syringe between the wall and second plastic cap. Works like a charm every time.

So, I've gone through all 5 of mine.

The first one I filled to a level that I thought that was appropriate and it tasted like burning.. so I let it sit for a couple days because I didn't want to bother with it and come to find that it's leaked all over my counter.

I tried a second one today, and tried to leave no air bubbles in the chamber since I figured that I underfilled the first one, and it worked great for about 2 or 3 pulls before it started to taste like burning too..

The third one I tried to fill the ceramic cup broke when I was trying to get the seal off of it. Worked okay, but leaked juice everywhere.

The fourth one I underfilled a bit because I thought that I was maybe overfilling the others and it tasted like burning.

Threw the fifth one away because I was tired of wasting juice.

After reading all of these posts I must have been doing something wrong, but after watching the videos and reading around I don't see what I was doing wrong.

The o ring on all four of mine was melted and distorted and the wick was completely charred.

I'm using regular ol' KR808 batteries here with 2.8-3.0 ohm clearomizers, was I just using the wrong ones or something? I feel like I wasted a whole lot of money with this experiment

I'm also not too pleased that I was probably inhaling some plastic byproduct with the melting o-rings

Sorry about all the problems you had with these things 3_16,
They are a real pain indeed, but if you can get them filled and working right, they are wonderful. One video from the manufacturer recomended fluffing up the wick, which I have done on all of mine. I have not had any burning issues on any of mine, and I have a bunch of them. They are just a real nighmare to fill properly.

Some people leave out the o-ring afterwards. It took me a while to figure out that its purpose is to close off the fill holes so there's no possibility of any juice leaking out. I guess it's a matter of how you hold your PV and how high of a VG content in your mix whether that would be a real problem.

I have filled them the standard way with the flexible needle tip that comes with and no problems just a pain in the ....... but I find them to be dry? maybe a got a bad couple I gave up after filling the third and everypuff tasting like burnt .....

I make sure to dry burn them first. After filling, pull up the cup a bit where it goes over the wicks. That lets it pull up the juice faster and easier. Then put your o-ring and mouthpiece back on. I was having the same problem as you are, nasty burnt taste.... Doing this has made these my favorite cartomizers.

Although these things take a bit of getting used to, the main reason I like them is I am constantly flooding out my Boge carto's.

I don't remember if I just added drops before I got up to do something or not so I add a few and &#@%!! Here we go again.

With these at least I know they are ready to go.
