I just got a box of fluxos in. This is my first experience with clearos of any kind. I've always been a dripper since I started vaping about 6 months ago. Was never able to get into cartos at all. BTW I'm using these on a silver bullet with a Kick from evolv. I've been using it at about 7-8 watts usually, but have turned it up to 10 watts as well. These are the 2.8-3 ohm version. But being that I'm using a kick, it auto-adjusts voltage to match the choosen wattage, so I can't really run my device too hot for this thing. Also I'm using 50/50 vg/pg juice.
Aanyways, here's my experience, and I'll preempt this with the following. I had issues out of the box, and have done a lot of reading on the GV subforum here, but still feel like I'm missing something. I read the big fluxo sticky and watched Bad's videos. The other issue I'm having is that none of the videos are for the new style with the clear plugs.
1st fluxo, I finally got the plug out with trial and error, then filled it up with a syringe after dripping down the center tube from the bottle (lol it all came out the bottom, I know, I hadn't read the sticky yet). So the coil was already wet. I didn't fluff the wick and I guess I vaped off what was on the coil already, and 2 puffs later it was really dry. Haven't been able to get it to wick much up to the coil.
Filled a second one after finding videos and the sticky. I didn't wet the coil, and burnt the s**t out of the wick. Did I ruin this one? It just tastes awful and burnt. Can this be helped or is it lost?
Filled a third with another flavor and it seems okay, after filling I read about fluffing. So I tried to fluff the already saturated wick a little. The problem here it seems, is that after fluffing, I put the little clear plug back in, and it just pushes the wicks back down, restricting the wicking action.
All three of them seem to get dry very quickly, and I have to tilt it upside for a second after every single hit to keep any flavor and prevent it from tasting burnt and/or plasticy. People seem to rave about these things and I really want to like them, but getting one hit before having to tilt just seems wrong. Will bathing an unused fluxo in PGA before first use help my situation? Vapor production is really solid, as is throat hit, flavor is the only aspect that is lacking right now.
