Nothing's gonna be perfect....there's ALWAYS going to be a downside to every mod, cart, cartomizer....etc. Dripping is a pain in the ..., CE2's have no flavor, carts need to be topped off every 5 hits...etc. The key is getting what is the best vaping experience for you....and these are it for me! I am the type of vapor that can NEVER just bring one juice, one cart, one type of atty out with me. I have to have TEN different kinds in my vaping MAN PURSE! But yesterday was the first day I think since I started vaping in November that I JUST brought these carts with me....and they vaped PERFECTLY all day!!! Your always gonna have to do SOMETHING, or a way to make EVERYTHING better. But this has definitely been the most SATISFYING EASY way to vape for ME that also keeps all the flavor, TH, etc etc etc.
SAY WHAT??...CE2s have no flavor???....you need to come on over and vape on my 8 fluxos that I've had in rotation for over 4 months - I know you're excited about these and I have a box on the way but it's just too bad that you didn't learn how to use the fluxos 'cause, trust me, after 14 months of vaping, I know the difference and these are the best, most consistent so far...Especially!! the way my juices taste - anyway...when the pumps arrive it'll give me a chance to try a couple of the 20 or so unused attys that went into storage when the fluxos arrived

Just got a box...
On my first one now with Darwin and GotVapes HV atty.
Also using an Empire Drip Shield.
First impression...very nice vape :)

Only gripe so far is that I wish they came with some kind of condom or cap for filling a hand full and taking them on the go. I probably have plenty of stuff to make my own cap of some type, but it'd be nice if they came with some.

Later I'll go through my stash and see what condoms and caps fit the best and post back here.

I went at them again today. So far I haven't lost the foam bit yet. I have been kind of afraid to do the dry puff method. I've actually found if you simply hold it up so the open end ponts down and press the button for about 5 seconds (then tap the end to make sure it drops) you get a nice, fat drop onto the atty. I'm not quite sure why I'm having as may issues with this thing :)

Not sure that it makes a difference, but I went ahead and primed my atty before slapping the cart in.
1. Blow out atty good.
2. Drip 5 drops on the atty bridge.
3. Do 3 quick burns without drawing.
4. Drip 3 more drops on the bridge.
5. Slap in the pump-cart (having already filled and pumped it several times so the batting is wet).

Note, I tend to vape between 5 and 6 watts with atties....so I can wet mine pretty good. If you use regular atties on stock batteries you might use fewer drops priming yours (as not to flood it).

Now I just give the button a few long pushes every 8 to 10 draws, or if I'm chain vaping pretty hard I'll hold the button as I vape every now and then.

Caps that seem to work on these if you want to drop some pump carts prefilled in your vaping bag:

Smart Cart v2 Caps. They flare out if you don't mod them or anything, but seem like they'll seal it off well enough as is.

901 caps do great. If you leave the hard cap on...they'll pop off easily, but if you pull the little silicon condom out (same condom that comes with lucid carts) the condoms work great on the pump cart. Could probably mod the condom a bit if you want to keep the hard 901 cart cap...it's the perfect size hard-cap for these.

Regular longer carto condoms with no long center spike like come with 510/808/Dualies, etc...will fit fine...a little tight and might be hard for some folks to get on.

801 caps do ok as well, might have to twist and piddle some to find a good fit. Does come off very easily.

Just loaded one and popped it in a freshly primed HV SLB 901 atty. A super cool menthol flavor.
PumpCart Works great in this!

Easier fit in the 901 than in the SmokTech 510 atty but still nice and snug.
With the 510 SmokTech atty it's a really tight fit, and didn't need to go all the way in to flush up with the bridge.

Next test for me will be with some super acidic liquids....if it stands up to TV's Atomic Cinnamon...I think I've finally found the ultimate after dinner cart :)

Since these are so "awesome", why don't they work out of the box like they should? The whole purpose of it is to hit the button to feed the atomizer right? Then why should a person have to draw on it like you have shown? I wouldn't like vaping that way. I want at least one hand free for another PV. However, thanks for the video and glad you like it and that it works for you. I'll save my money until the Chinese get it fixed.

Just loaded two of these.
Out of the box...
Notta single problem with them so far.

Does what they say it does...pump the button and it drips on the atty.

How much and how often you pump depends on how hot you run your atty, and how wet you like to keep it.
Kinda like dripping, except you don't have to get out the bottle to do it ;)

Two days of vaping on these...
Still working as advertised.

Loaded a 3rd one with Tasty Vapor Atomic Cinnamon for a PH (acidic) stress test, and after 6 hours no signs of the plastic getting eaten or leaking plastic tastes into the juice. A very good sign :) If the carts can stand up to AC, they should be able to take any liquid out there to date.

For those that don't know...Atomic Cinnamon flavor can be brutal on anything plastic. In fact, I even move it to a glass bottle as soon as I get it in the mail because of it's acidic properties. One of the best juices on the market if you like super spicy candy-cinnamon flavors, so I'm not 'dissin' the juice at all....love this stuff :) Up till now...I'd never found any kind of cart or carto that didn't ruin this flavor for me (always had to drip it into an atty).

With all that in mind, I'll put it through the paces on this flavor. So far...no plastic or filler taste at all! A very happy camper.

It'll be interesting to see how long the pump and all lasts with constant use....
So far, it's lookin' good...it works :)

I was given 3 of these by Namuch (who is a member of my local social group) last Sunday. I'd just seen the video review right before I left to go to my social group meeting and couldn't believe it when Namuch came up to me and said he had something for me... and it was one of these! I filled it up, took a few draws with the button down just as explained in the video and *whomper* vapor. After the first hour, I told him how much I loved them and wanted to buy some of them and he handed me 2 more.
:wub:

These are truly awesome! Just what I've been looking for. I've gotten my 510 attys back out again (I normally use 302's on my Darwin) and LOVE the simplicity of these and that so far, they work without any issues. I've only run about 5 tanks worth of liquid through this first one.

I agree that some kind of cap/condom would be necessary for these to be of use to carry filled up and hope they start including them with the packaged boxes. It really needs to be included! Thanks to Credo for the ideas of what will use in a pinch. I'll dig through and see if I have any that work.

I'd love to see pictures of the inside of one of these... has anyone cut one apart yet to take pics of exactly how it works? I know someone will... someone always does eventually. LOL

Also, if they made these in 3ml and also for a 302 atty, I'd buy a ton of them.

The inner workings of the cart is pretty simple. You ever drip into a carto while it was screwed onto your PV and have it pool on the top? As soon as you unscrew the atty a little and let air flow through the bottom the juice soaks in quicker. It's the same effect. By pushing the button you allow air to flow through the hole under the button which then naturally allows the juice to flow out the bottom. It's actually insanely simple...yet works GREAT!! I too have busted out the old 510 atty's and put them to good use since getting these pump carts!

I know how to use the fluxo's perfectly. And IMO they have no flavor along with every other CE2!! And it's not like a stand alone....there are TONS AND TONS of people who agree. So the fact that there are tons of people who agree, and you dismiss it so quickly kind of shows a little closed mindedness IMO! I have used every tip and trick out there involving CE2's, including buying larger tanks, fluffing wicks, loosening the rubber piece, etc etc! So I "Learned" how to use them just fine. If you disagree, then I'm happy for you that you love CE2's so much, but that doesn't mean other's didn't "LEARN" how to use them. If I got a dollar for everytime I heard CE2's have "MUTED" flavor I would be a vaping millionairre. So clearly there is something to it! But again, I'm glad you enjoy the flavor.... Also....my "excitement" over the carts having nothing to do with CE2's, I am very capable of enjoying more then one method of vaping, and I have TOTES worth of gear to show it!
SAY WHAT??...CE2s have no flavor???....you need to come on over and vape on my 8 fluxos that I've had in rotation for over 4 months - I know you're excited about these and I have a box on the way but it's just too bad that you didn't learn how to use the fluxos 'cause, trust me, after 14 months of vaping, I know the difference and these are the best, most consistent so far...Especially!! the way my juices taste - anyway...when the pumps arrive it'll give me a chance to try a couple of the 20 or so unused attys that went into storage when the fluxos arrived
