I am needing help with my purchases made from gotvapes. I ordered the fluxomizers and the turbine.

I can't seem to get ANY of them to work worth a darn. :mad: I can't get the burnt flavor out of the atty no matter what I try, trust me I have watched a million videos, read a few tips/tricks, and tried them all.

Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong here?? Everyone raves about these things being so awesome but they just don't work!!

I am using both the fluxomizer and the turbine on my EGO style battery, not at the same time of course.;)

Hello,
How bady did you burn the wick? How long did you soak them? Sometimes the plasic around the ceramic cup gets burnt and needs removed...mostly, the juice isn't wicking fast enough, so pressure from the sides and top needs to be adjusted to relieve it. Making sure that they att is getting the right amt of juice should go a long way it helping this problem.

I have a general rule that I don't vape new contraptions until the bugs are worked out of them. I could see plenty of people having problems with clear fluxomizers, from wicks caught in the caps to cracking to falling apart. I don't need that. I'm sure they are wonderful if they work right but I will wait until they are ready for the general public and not just for people who are willing to disassemble and fix them.

Hey there bud, there was something I saw a while back that helped me and maybe it'll help you. I was using Tasty vapors liquids in my fluxos and well I had like 40% VG in one flavor and another was even more it was 50% VG and both liquids were sweetened with sucrose so... They are VERY thick liquids and the wick in the fluxos just wont really wick right if you use even a slightly thick colored juice.... You need to try all PG or you can mod the fluxo a bit by taking the plug off or lifting it up a bit from the cup where the wick is... That could help a little for the thicker juices I can sort of vape thick juices after I take the plug out but I usually have to let sit and turn up side down all the time to still get it to wick but lighter juices work great like really colorless juices work great in those fluxos. Anyway just my 2 cents.

hey,
My first order of cartomizers was from them, i got Fluxomizers, Turbione, Vortex all from GV.
Now, I used one Fluxomizer, it still works after 2 weeks and it looks like ...., i opened it every day to clean and the tube is cracked from both sides but still works.
Anyway, the first thing that i did before filling it the first time, i removed the center plug cup that holds the ceramics that's all, and every juice i tried works fine, even when i have no juice in the tube it still works from the juice inside the ropes or whatever these called)

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time :( I would suggest giving them a call once the office opens (11am EST). I was missing a refill bottle from my last order, gave them a call and they shipped it right out.


My experience with GV...
I have tried the XL Fluxomizers-LOVE the flavor(no burnt taste here), but I have not had one last more than 2 days before cracking.

I got the Vortex...easier filling up BUT I really can't get past the cap issues. The other day I bumped my PV, the cap flew off and vanished. Now, my PV was standing up in a pencil holder...I didn't have a cap to replace the missing one so I figured it would be fine, I would mess with it later. Got up the next morning and all of the juice had leaked out onto the rest of my PV's :(

So, after that I tried the metal Fluxomizers.... LOVE THEM!! I have not found anything so far that gives me a better draw or flavor. I have tried a small variety of cartomizers and it's just not the same. To me they just seem so much "dryer" if that makes since?

dang. Kinda sucks when the first response is something like
"did you burn the wick? Did you fluff it first? Did you replace the tube with a syringe? Did you switch the wick with steel mesh?"

This is why I won't buy these new things. Nothing is better than a Boge carto in my opinion. They're the only things you don't have to perform surgury on to get the working the way they SHOULD! :facepalm:
