fluxomizer first timer

[sportyfortyeight]

hello, iv been a carto guy and just got the fluxomizers in the mail. i filled as the card said and let it sit for about ten mins to make sure the juice got to the coil. they are the 3.0-3.2ohm and read 3.3 on my provari. i have it set at 3.3 volts and im getting a burnt plastic taste. the juice is a 50 50 blend and taste great on an atty or my cartos. what am i doing wrong? thanks for any help

watch the vid i have below. all i use is the fluxomizers and i`m usually at 3.8 on the provari. i love them.

i watched the video and i filled it just like that was done and like i said i turned a very flavorful juice into just a burnt flavor. iv filled a 2nd one and it also has a burnt taste to it all. its like a burnt carto/plastic taste. the coil and wick are black also

try pulling the wicks up some. get in there with a pin with a hooked end and pull the wicks up on the sides to feed the coil quicker. if that dont help then i`m not sure what the problem is but i had that burnt taste and pulling up the wicks helped.

still a burnt taste. even dripping on to the coil leaves a burnt taste one both of them after the 2nd pull

edit. i do get a lot of vapor but its got a badly burnt taste

I don't have a VV yet but isn't the 3+ ohm meant for higher voltage like 5v?

it is and as the volts go higher the burnt taste gets stronger and stronger. iv got it set to the lowest volt i can and it still has a burnt taste. when i "break" in a carto i drop it to 3.3 to make sure its fully soaked with juice as i use tanks. did the same thing with these and a burnt taste from the get go. at 4.0 its like so bad i went out side as my room now smells like iv been burning cig fliters

 

[TheJack]

I have 1 more suggestion. try flipping the lower seal upside down and not using the middle plug. i have a tank that i uses like that to avoid the burnt taste. if that dont work then i cant help. sorry.

I had this issue on my first Fluxo. Turned out it was the juice I was using. It was 50/50 but it had extracted tobacco flavor in it. I am not sure it was the extracted tobacco, it could also have been the additional flavoring.

ill try the flipped cap ideal when i get home. i used 2 different flavors in a total of 4 of these now and they all have a burnt taste to them. one is gummy bears and the other is Swedish fish from gv. im so confused as iv read great things about these but with the high ohms and low volts they shouldnt be burning things up or at least i wouldn't think so

 

[sportyfortyeight]

alright i stopped by my place for a few and tried the different ideals. so far only thing working some what is take the middle seal and use that and smoke with it up side down. it still has a burnt taste. im going to try to mod the wick but i wouldnt think i should have to do that using gv juice and gv ce2's.. will update later if im still up after the game

Did you give the CE2 a quick Dry Burn before you filled it?

That's solder gunk. The last few batches have a ton of it.

I got rid of the burnt rubber taste by further modding the O-ring itself. Here's my video on what I did, and they vape like nothing else after these mods.

hahaha, nice job.

You can achieve the cut out a lot easier using a 'wad punch' I did this back in the CE-2 long thread days. Rings on top - before; rings on bottom after. Notice you can even make the wick slots more wick friendly.

I picked up a kit from the $Bargain store for about $7. It had 6 different sizes in it. Just hit it with a hammer - done. Clean as a whistle too.

Nice! I'm going to have to look for some of those, they'd be perfect. Thanks for the tip!

Along the same lines is a leather punch tool...

Lowe's $8

That's not a bad idea, either. And it has multiple sizes so could be useful for a variety of things. I even have a Lowe's near me, too.

Does enlarging the Cup Seal ID or the O-Ring ID cure the Burnt Taste because it somehow improves wicking? Or is it because less vapor is in contact with the Black Rubber material.

Some have mentioned in other posts that the Black Cup Seals/O-Rings/Mouth Pieces have a Funky Rubber taste. Kinda like chewing on a old 185/70 Goodyear tire.
