Fluxomizer tastes issues?

[byggd]

So when do you retire a fluxomizer? I'm right at 3 weeks on one and this is actually my first carto that I may have ran to the end that I didn't tear up on my own. I'm that new. I do a hot water & dry burn clean on them every 2-3 fills and noticed a burnt taste. Could just need washing though, but I would hate to waste juice and fiddle with it a while and discover that it happens again quickly.

Do they get a burnt taste? Does flavor diminish? Less vapor? Can it be a various number of different things?

Does anyone throw these things away after 2-3 weeks or something so they don't start getting that "is my fluxomizer getting old question" lingering in their head? I hear people do this all the time with their boges cartos since their so cheap and don't want to mess with the issues.

TIA

I'm lucky to get a week out of any carto. My juice is thick and on the sweet side so it really gunks up the coils. Even if cleaned and dry burned I might get a few extra days so I just toss them. After all they are only a couple bucks each.

I get weeks out of a Fluxo. I'm particular about cleaning them every 3 or 4 fills. I rarely throw one away. I retire them after a while. I have a zip lock bag full of good, clean Fluxos; just in case of the apocalypse.
