I was assuming that the next move would be to downsize the Fluxomizer line and focus on bringing the price of the Visions down by selling the crap out of em... But apparently, the ties to MiT are still good, since they're planning on releasing the X7s too... I hope you bought 200 fix kits to go with those Fluxos!

About tilting: do you tilt to horizontal or past horizontal? I guess, now that I think about it, if I tilt while I am taking a hit, it's kinda like using a cig, right? Though it's a bit of a stretch with the ProVari... :laugh:

As for the dark juice that renders my Fluxes impotent after the first go-round, it's my own mixture: dark tobacco, double-dark chocolate, brandy, and a touch of vanilla. The juice is practically black, but sooooooo good. I do hope the Sapphires work with this concoction from H*ll. I ordered some Visions too, but almost afraid to try them with this. Don't want to ruin a fairly expensive doohickey.

Now that I read about GV juice winning the first place and everything, I'm going to try that, too.

Cheers. :vapor:

I would like to see the Price Point go down for the Visions. What is needed is more competition in that Size Class of CE2's

200 Mouth Pieces? No, I bought 2. I have been having very good luck cutting the tube down to about an 1/8" longer than the Cup. Then I take a Old White mouth piece and cut a cone on the inside of it. I use this "cone-ed out" mouth piece as the only seal.

If you tilt your PV enough to make the e-Liquid pool around the cup, that is how much I tilt when I hit. Maybe 15 degrees above the horizon.

It seemed strange when I first started to do it. Now it feels strange when I don't. And I use a Provari 80% of the time.

OK, I did that. Aaaaaaand... It worked. I think what's happening is that the juice is bypassing the wicks altogether and seeping into the cup through the slots above the wicks. Well, as long as it works! :)

Good to hear that things are working out better.

Like I said before, I have been involved with the CE2's since day one. I have read dozens of "Hot Tips" and have seen countless Mods to make a CE2 work better. Some were just plain Crazy. Others were Brilliant.

But by far the Best, and the Simplest, is to just tilt the PV up when you take a hit.

I think sometimes people dismiss simple ideas in favor of complex solutions to a problem.
