Just got my GotVapes 3.5ohm Fluxomizers CE2 deluxe clearomizers

[southeastbeast]

These tasted like burned poop when I vaped it. Removed all the rubber crud at the top to eliminate the possibility that it could be caused by that. Opened it up and fluffed the wicks and frayed the ends of the wick. The wick was fully saturated but it doesn't seem to keep enough liquid up on the top portion near the coils to keep a good flavor.

I'm using this on my Provari. Below 4.8 volts with wick produced alright flavor but would quickly turn burned. Drained the whole thing (using a syringe) and just started direct dripping and it seems to work better. With a fresh 2 drops on the coils I can get 4-5 good puffs. Direct dripping allows me to use it at around 5.4 volts which produces a much better flavor and vape. Using VapeBomb 20/80 fruit sample pack.

I've watched the videos for these and done everything. It doesn't have the looped wick that I can snip anymore (like in a video I saw of an older fluxomizer). I've fluffed the wick near the top bend and even removed all 3 rubber pieces that make it not spill when flipped upside down. Bought 2x boxes of these things in ugly green (only one in stock) and I'm afraid I'll just have to snip the wicks off and use them as direct drip..... in which case I should have just bought an atty. LOL

Anyone got any suggestions?

Sorry you are having wicking issues. Someone should be along soon who can help!

Had the same problem when I tried them on the provari, all 5 burned up in less then 10 puffs. One even burned up while just checkign the ohm's after filling it up and letting the wick get moist!
I tried all the same things you did with removing the rubbers, fluffed the wicks even tried one with no modification and got the same result.
I also had a pack of the 808's and tried them on my G6 mini and the same thing happend after about 20 pulls. They seem to just burn up really fast.
Good luck with the rest of them

Try them at lower voltages. Also, there are product changes coming soon.

I am not a fan of the black inner plugs at all. It looks like you'll be able to buy Vision style replacements soon.

my .....you went to Gotvapes thats the first burn second burn is CE2 cartos are a wreck and do not wick right unless you make adjustments and still after that they do not work great... you can keep fighting with the such things and waist money or you can figure out what your looking for and ask around or pm me I will try to help you.

passerbyeus, When did you last try a Ce2? I chain vape and they keep up with me, no problem. It seems that folks run hot or cold on them. I'm wondering if the earlier versions were awful? I just started vaping again in Dec. Just imho, but you can't beat a Ce2 for flavor.

The new Visions seem to be a huge hit. No syringes. Dropper fill. Work out of the box with no modding.

Here is the Easiest thing you can do to a CE2 if you think you have wicking problems.

And that is to Tilt your Battery Up slightly and let the e-Liquid pool arounf the Ceramic Cup/Wick while you take your hit.

This Dead Simple Tech cures 80% of the problems people have with CE2's.

In all seriousness, I haven't had a ce2 keep up with me yet - fluxo, vision, stone 2, etc. The grande keeps up with me pretty well, but the flavor is - well let's say I'm hoping it breaks in...

Gotvapes has brilliant designs for the more casual / light vaper. If you're a heavy vaper, ce2's are going to dry hit on you unless you tilt and wait, vape, tilt and wait, etc.

Just curious, what ratio of PG to VG do you use?

Oh and BTW, good to here that "Tilting" worked for you.

I used to use 30/70, and switched to 50/50 to eliminate feeding problems with my ce2's. Don't get me wrong, I like my ce2's, but my go-to vape is a dct. Fluxomizers take some tweaking, and the tilting helps, but I prefer dct in the comfort of my home. I also find that dct's are more vv friendly, and more tolerant of thicker juices.
