FLuXomizer.... Driving me crazy

[ojelela]

I have five GotVapes FLuXomizer DeLuXe 510 XL 1.8ml 2.4-2.6ohm on VV Ego.
juice I'm using is FLüX Nectar - CAFE de CREME 70/30 PG/VG.
It will taste and vape good about half way down, and then it just gets worst and worst.
So I did try to clean it, and what I have is big, huge BLOB of hard charcoal like thing covering
my coil (after 1 mil.). You cant even see it glow.I have rinse it out, try to burned off, but only thing working is to crush it with tweezers. It was a mess.
I dont know if is to thick ( sweet ) juice, or voltage set to hi but it is driving me crazy and then I pull
my analog out witch makes me even more mad...

How often you have to clean your fluxomizers or whatever you are using

 

[vonwegen]

that's what's happening on the first fill? I am using smoktech DCs on regular Egos and some ego-t LRs. I hardly use the regular ego-t attys anymore. I have about 10 attys in use - one for each flavour (regardless of nic%) - because I don't like the flavour mix. I haven't cleaned any of them and burned only one clearomizer in 5 weeks.
Actually, I don't even know how to clean them. And I don't want to know. They're $2-3. If one stops working, unpack the next.

Usually you have to keep your big tanks filled with juice, because of wicking issues, when you get below 50% you should tilt your ecig to get the juice to flow over the wicks more, if it is a ce2 set up, you can dryburn that stuff off, there are videos on you tube on how to do that, hope it helps

Thick and/or dark juices will do that. Sorry to hear you're having problems. I gave up on Fluxomizers after the first box.
I've had pretty good luck with the Boge LR cartos at about a 70:30 mix but my liquids are almost clear.
Others will chime in with some help
Good luck

Yes, coil is packed after one mil. on first fill. It is still working but not even a shadow of what it looks and taste at a beginning...

Yes, Im tilting and I did try to dryburn it off but it is just too big, it almost touches little cup walls

That is where I think the problem is (juice), it gets a lot thicker and darker after 20 min of vaping

ojelela...that happens to ALL coils on any of the stuff we use. It gets burnt on. I use an ultra sonic jewelry cleaner to clean all of my heating parts...cartomizers, atomizers, ce2's, etc. I use a 50/50 mix of water and vodka or everclear and it does a pretty good job of getting that stuff off.

As far as wicking and Fluxomizer use goes...if you haven't performed the seal mod on it, you'll never see it's true potential. The seal mod takes about two minutes to do, but you have yet to see that thing work if you haven't done it. There is a you tube video on Gotvapes channel about it. Give it a shot. It's by far one of the best vapes out there.

With the XL's I found that performance diminishes if it is less than half full unless you tilt it upside down to wet the wicks. Also, the 2.4 ohm Fluxo at anything above 3.7V tastes burnt to me with any juice.

In my experience, coffee based flavors tend to clog the coils more. When cleaning the Fluxo after vaping cappuccino I will have to do 5-6 dry burns (5 sec) before the coils gets red hot. I would avoid crushing the gunk with tweezers to prevent the coil from getting damaged.

This has been my exact experience with the XL's also. I add juice early and often, and avoid dark/thick juice...

...Again...if you do the seal mod you won't experience any burnt taste.

Does that juice have a lot of flavoring sediment it leaves behind? (you would know if you ever used it in a stuffing carto). You can also test it by heating aluminum foil, shake the juice and drip a couple of drops the foil. After the liquid sizzles away if there is a bunch of "slag" left behind than that is what that juice will do to atomizer/cartomizer coils.

I only use the middle seal on my Fluxos and it helps a lot. Still, when the juice level gets low I either have to tilt upside down or wait in order to avoid getting a burnt taste. This only happens on the XL's not the short ones and I use 70/30 juices mostly. YMMV.

OK, so you are tilting...I forgot to add that. Just a quick upside down, then vape...

Found the video: VaporChase Tutorial - Modding a Fluxomizer Deluxe - YouTube
What's shown in the video is quite scary. It's basically saying you shouldn't be using this atty without the mod. Burning silicone? Where are my analogs?!

Thanks, it does make a big difference, I like it....

that's what I think is happening, to much sediment in juice....

How often you have to clean fluxo after cappuccino (after every fill or no) ??

I clean them after 2-3 fills.
