I'm not hating on then but I cannot figure them out. I tried everything! Removing the middle seal, using a drip tip, cutting the mouthpiece cover and using that instead, flipping the middle seal so the grooves face down and after just a bit of vaping just taste burnt!

I've noticed the new ones don't have the loops to snip. They are just one string hanging from both sides of the cup. They are leaking through the seal so I always get a gurgle through the drip tip or taste like burnt! I can't win!

Then I take it apart and the cup is black.. I hope that's not the rubber! Eww! What am I doing wrong! I bought like 10 and down to my last 4! Help!

I gave up on them myself. I can't wait till they have figured out a way to fix the wicking issue. I could use 100% pg and still get burnt rubber taste. They need to use a better material then those wicks they use. Maybe they could try braiding carto filler or some kind of sponge that won't burn.

Some ideas

Invert the carto before vaping - Saturates the wick
Draw a little harder than usual - Creates a small vacuum and draws juice through the wick
Use a higher voltage PV - Sounds stupid, but 4.1V is too low, 4.3V is sweet spot, 4.5 tends to flood ???
Hold the button down for 3 seconds before sucking - Works for me.

Might not work, but worth a try

What a process! Just save your money and time and get some cartos and a carto tank. They work!

Really? My epower is 3.7 so I got the 2.4-2.6 XL's. It was their recommendation and not working right. I need more power again? Lol

To be honest I already have 3 chibi tanks! I used it once with the prepunched cartos and worked well! Tried punching them myself and got mouths full of juice! My last boge 2.0 I put two small holes yesterday, barely got any vapor them flooded at the top! I'll never get it! I'm back to 2.0 boges and filling every 15 mins ugh! Feeing a saddle valve as soon as I get my boges replenished!

I don't get all the trouble...I've been using them exclusively for about a month with zero trouble. I take out the cup plug, flip the middle, use a drip tip...no issues with a burnt taste. Have the occasional gurgle with Menthol Mania, blow it out, move on. I'm using 100% VG and various blends. This is the 2.4-2.6 version on Rivas and auto 510's. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? We're all different, but I'll take 1 or 2 dry hits a day compared to the nasty filler taste of cartos.

make sure you lift the wicks up a little bit on each side of the cup just enough to cover the little slots on the cup, they should stay that way after adjusting because of the fit between the tube and the cup, make sure that you have increased the hole in the middle of the mouth piece but just a little bit so the air flow is not so restricted, fill the inside of the fluxo to just above the black rubber piece holding the cup to the metal tube inside of the fluxo, put the mouth piece only back into the cup with the grove side facing the cup, when you insert it push it down slowly over the cup, if you do this properly you will be able to see the cap go on over the cup and fit onto it nicely forming a leak proof seal, but fluffing the wicks on the side of the cup this also helps form the seal. My advise to you is make sure the fluxo is really dryburned good before putting the juice in, if you dry burn it right ther will not be any smoke or smell coming from the cup and the wick inside the coil will be a whitish silver color. you will still have to tilt the fluxo every once in a while to keep the wicks moist. In actuallality you should be holding the e cig like a regular cig when vaping and this will keep the wick moist anyway. If I was you I would take all of the fluxos you think are no longer good and really clean and dryburn them good because they are probly still good, these things can be cleaned and dryburned many times if you are gentle when doing so, some may last you an extremely long time. I hope this helps you it did me, just be patient and go slowly untill you got the hang of it because when you do these fluxo ce2 are the best youll get:evil:

I'm trying this now.. I forgot to dry burn first but I will update in a few.. Why do these need to be dry burned any way if they come empty? Just wondering?
