Fluxomizer taste still terrible after modding...

[sethkal]

Anyone have burnt wood/rubber taste with all their fluxomizers even after modding them?

I tried one... tasted horrible... modded it...still tasted horrible.
Im using them on an ego battery (people say they work fine), but mine don't!

Okay... maybe it was just that one, tried it with 2 other fluxomizers, even vaped the horrible taste for 4ml's of liquid, and STILL tasted ridiculously bad.

Please share your thoughts,
maybe im not modding them correctly?
Maybe they just aren't meant for me to handle?
Ive spent $13 or w.e + shipping on the XL ones and they fail.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Are you using the donut mod? I've been making a habit of this, dry burn before you put any juice into the cartomizer.

I would recommend emptying the cartomizer, clean it with pure grain alcohol or water if you have no alcohol do a dry burn then juice it up. Before you replace anything try vaping a little.

The Flux for me, so far are the best thing Ive tried....never had a bad experience with them yet! i have had 10 of them so far. I only lost one. Never a bad taste. Sorry to here you are having prblems. I take all the seals out, fluff the wick and put the middle seal in ridge side down so it fits over the ceramic cup. Never leaks, always good. I vape at all diff volts. More volts the closer it is to cleaning.

I had the same situation with some of the Clearos with the black plugs, Removed the plugs, pulled the sleeves rinsed everything with hot water and than used a lighter to burn the wicks and carefully did the same with the cup being careful not to heat too closely to the black base of the cup, reassembled, did a quick dry burn, and now they taste perfect. I think some of that black rubber leeches into the cup and heating up the cup directly got rid of the stank.

antfuzz, why dry burn first, is there something on the coils?

 

[AlB53]

one more thing, just cleaned one and the inside of the cup was black. took a toothpick and cleaned the inside looks nice and white again. uaeing a V4L Diamond XL 808 and the ce2 are 2.6-2.8 ohm. don't see why there burning like that.

There might be a residue left over from the machining process. Just give it a few pulses until it starts to glow red and you should be good to go.

 

[AlB53]

do you do anything with the wick or just leave it as is. thinking about untangling the wick. would that help any?

 

[antfuzz]

No, I never do anything to the wick, but some people take a torch to them.

 

[willdupre]

yeah I use the lighter on the wick as well as the outside of the cup as I explained above just to get rid of any funny tastes from manufacturing.

Only got rid of with mine by a forced flush (tubing/syringe Vapian's Fillanator mod) of the tube by attaching syringe/tubing to connector on innards submerging in near boiling water or vodka and repeatedly pulling in cleaning liquid from cup through air tube into syringe and then forcing the fluid back through the air tube (several times) followed by tamping the wicks dry, then dry burning (while tube, plugs soak in near boiling water or vodka or 98% Isopropyl Alcohol, then rinsed very well and dried. Followed by reassembly of course

I solved it by giving mine away! Happy you others found a solution, but I didn't have the patience to go through all that, not when there are delicious tasting visions, stardusts, sapphires etc. to be had.

This is all in my humble opinion of course. Whatever floats your boat is great.

i just rinse under hot water and dry burn and they are good to go

I still have a few of the conversions that gotvapes sold a few months ago. Hoping they re stock them soon. I pull the neoprene ring and cup seal out, install a conversion cup seal, fill, and insert a standard drip tip. Never get any burnt taste. I do tip them up past horizontal every few puffs during vaping to keep the coil wet.

didn't have it tight enough with the batt. cranked it down and it was good all last night. no more dry,burnt hits!

Do you "Tilt" when you take a Hit?

And BTW, what ohms are the ones your using?

 

[antfuzz]

I will be very happy to accept any fluxo's that aren't working properly. Even dead ones.

I HAVE to pull apart my wicks on ce2s to get them to wick at all. The more I slaughter them, the better they wick. I push them back together loosely after. I chain vape, though, so I need it to wick very fast.

Do You Tilt ?

 

[Geiseric]

At a 45 degree angle. Even horizontal from my face, I get flooding out the battery side with any cup style carto. I store them standing up or tilted at an angle as well.
