K, just checking. My sister cleaned one with the industrial contact cleaner I use to clean hearing aud contracts and it went out with a pop.
Dry or wet? I usually clean them with a q-tip or tissue slightly moist with alcohol, and then wipe with dry tissue. Not trying to be a pain here, just wondering what exactly happened.
one fluxo killed one battery , my newest batt.. then another flux shorted my wifes newest batt, then i cleaned everything and put it on one of our spares and it instantly got hot in my hand, i shouldnt have to measure the volts beforehand, it should be a more reliable product. totallywicked had these on their site for about a month before the pulled them because they were killing batt's it said in red letters when you bought them "known to kill batts" 50% off all stock. i saw these they looked the exact same but i assumed they were diff, but i guess not. 3 batts died and the only thing thats changes is i started using these 3 weeks ago, now im 3 batts down from 4
i just used a dry q-tip or dry tissue, clean, usually whichever is closer lol.
only use dry qtip or tissue to clean contacts, never had bats die before in over a year and a half, never have probs with attys, never had problems with anything other than these, except the usualy cracking on the old clearos , burning of old cartos, ect, normal problems
I'm sorry to hear about the bad luck here. I've enjoyed my Fluxos greatly. I've had great luck and good service with GotVapes.
Note that I've lost eGo batteries in the past... generally it's an end of life scenario and I lose the others that I have purchased at the same time.
It's always hard to lose hardware... I think some times you have to examine the whole situation.
Better luck to you!

my bad let me verify what im talking about
GotVapes FLuXomizer DeLuXe CLEAR GREEN 510 XL 1.8ml 2.6-2.8ohm
GotVapes FLuXomizer DeLuXe CLEAR GREEN 510 XL 1.8ml 2.6-2.8ohm
Just got these 2.7 ohm micro stretch visions and I can't believe I lasted most of the day on one 280 mah auto batt. I avoided these batts before since they only lasted 30 min to hour before putting out crap with 2.8 ohm fluxos. Hmmm.
As someone told me awhile ago in this forum, a meter is a very useful thing for a serious vaper to have. It's cheap. Cheaper than an eGo batt. Certainly cheaper than three of them.
Most end-users don't have a clue about what tolerances the eGo protection circuit may have - but it's simple common sense that if a carto shows resistance of, say, .5, it should not be used.
Wish I'd thought of that before that Boge drove my favorite eGo VV nuts. LOL
yeah but i shouldnt have to buy a meter, it a standard joye eGo battery and a should be standard fluxo. they both did come from the same pack. it may have been a bad batch but like i said , i offered to send it all in. its not my job as the consumer to test for quality assurance. im going to sit here and complain because i expect to have a product work that i pay for , not short things out and i dont think thats too unreasonable

It is not unreasonable to expect a product to work as expected. But it is unreasonable to expect perfection.
Any product, in any industry, may come with some factory malfunction. At the same time, the end user may also screw up in some way, yes? I am not saying it is user error, but neither can folks at GV tell right at first, can they?
How many times have you written to them? Did you open a formal ticket? Rather than complaining like this, you might want to be a bit more patient - even vendors are human and need time to breathe - and see if you can figure out exactly what happened, so that the parties involved have a clear picture.
Many, many people, myself included, had very good experience with GV customer service, have had things replaced that, strictly speaking, didn't have to be, etc.
As for a meter - it's just good practice. Stuff happens. Everyone always talks about how reliable Boges are. But mine failed. So... I can't even tell you where I buy all of my Boge cartos - so I couldn't go after a vendor for replacement even if I wanted to. I'd rather have a ten dollar meter to check them than have to replace stuff.
well i would understand just one but it was more than one out of either of 2 packs, i used one it killed a bat i thew the flux away, we open 2 more they work fine, open another one and it craps out not only 1 but 2 battys, im just sayin i said screw it with the first one when they said "theres no way we can tell what caused it to short out" and now have 2 more dead battys.
Well, if it were me, I would open a formal ticket through help desk or bring out to the suppliers reviews. I am not sure if they are even supposed to respond to things like that here. I know I have seen threads that were moved to the supplier review thread with ther note about so the supplier can respond. Maybe that would help too.
I would second that.
Point is, the possible technical situation aside, is that you are much better off approaching this with a more positive attitude. The guys at GV are not the ogres you made them out to be in your original post. Honestly.
Remember that they are people, they are doing their best, and they will help you if they can, if you just have a bit of patience and apply good attitude.I've worked in customer service in my time, and it's not easy. These guys are doing many jobs all at the same time, they are on the cutting edge of this industry, and their products are both interesting and usually quite good. Most of us are very happy with them. I sympathize with your feelings - it must be very frustrating to lose three batts like this. But getting angry at the supplier at this stage is a bit premature - especially at the supplier who has a very good reputation.
It's completely unproductive, and helps no-one, to tell people on the GV forum (or anywhere) not to buy GV stuff based on the very short experience you've had with them.
Please take our advice, open an official ticket, and give GV the benefit of the doubt. I believe you'd do much better for yourself that way. They are very busy just now, so have a little patience.
Good luck.
I added this to your first post, im being kind today, so i wont rip into you like I easily could, this isnt about customer service at this point, you went way passed that, but im being this all new badkolo who will be respectful to a point and let daniel handle this, I would be careful with what you say next.
Oh and there wont be any help at all for this person, new rule, shock threads get you removed from gotvapes.com and you get NO help form this point on.
Threatening us gets you no where with us, doing what you did gets you no where with us.
slandering us gets you no where with us.

i have a formal ticket, but like i said, from my last ticket i dont expect much, i got a one line response when i told them about the first battery
rip on into me then, i havent had a positive experience and im allowed to express that however i want, you making remarks such as quoted above makes me not want to buy from you anymore. if you dont like my thread thats fine but this is about MY experience with you thats why this section of the forums is here right? if not then contact an admin if im so out of line.
