cleaning fluxomizer wicks & why are clear tubes sold seperate?

[bmwjen]

I absolutely love my XL Fluxomizers from gotvapes. I've watched the videos on YouTube. I'm addicted to vaping with my flux while at home.
I've never taken the clear plastic cover off like they do in the videos, but the other day, I noticed that it would come off by itself mid-vape. I'd always just shove it back on, wipe off the leaked out juice, etc. Well last night I noticed a little rubber seal had come off where the fluxomizer connects to the battery. I'm pretty sure that is an essential part right?

I shouldn't have to replace the entire Fluxomizer right? How should I clean the wicks in it and how often? Why do they sell extras of the plastic see through covers? Do I simply need to buy a new see through cover? The clear see through plastic part is not bent or cracked.

thanks in advance for your help, any suggestions would be great!

You probably need to recycle that carto. The clear plastic tubes are in case you have a damaged one, or if your juice cracks the plastic cover. (some juices like strong cinnamon can cause it to crack and leak out) I would also say the seal is a critical component.

As far as washing wicks, the fact that they come apart makes that easier, if you feel the wick needs it.

Oh, I would guess rinsing in near boiling water real good, or using Isopropal alcohol would work too.

I haven't removed the tube yet for cleaning but you'd need to if you wanted to dry the wick fast without doing a dry burn.

I just remove the filler seal and flush with water till the liquid is gone and it drains clear. Then I blow out the water and give a quick soak in alcohol, mainly to get rid of the remaining water and it evaporates quicker. Blow out the alcohol and do a dry burn, I'm ready to vape.
