Just curious, FLUXO USERS, what temp is the vapor from the fluxo's?? I don't think i'd like a HOT vapor. My starter kit came with 5 carto's that have a bottom coil (think i got that right....its on the end that screws into battery) and the vapor is pretty much "room temperature" when i inhale it. Would you say it is hotter than cig smoke? Also just read a post where a fluxo user was talking about getting juice in his mouth :ohmy:, How many of you have that issue? that along with leakage (especially around the battery) are my biggest concerns. I like to use my auto battery.... but with my stock carto's i get a better hit with manual.

would be nice if some of these companies (hint, hint, gotvapes...lol) would follow the juice guys' lead and offer trial packs. Would be perfect if i could buy a pack with a fluxo, saphire, vision, vortex, and some others so I can try them all out without going broke. ;)

Fluxo's have a hotter vapor because of the top coil, but I use a drip tip and it's warm, not hot, with the drip tip. I do prefer a cooler vape, but a drip tip makes it comfy. I do think that they really need a drip tip, as using the inset rubber cap leaves your lips right next to the coils. I had problems with juice hits with the older versions of the fluxos, but none at all with the new ones, and absolutely no leaks, either.

I think your sample pack is a great idea. Whadda ya think, GV guys?

The vortex will make a resurrection maybe, we where going to kill it off, then spin it off, but i do love the name and we do have a special new style 3ml variable vortex system. so maybe the vortex goes to the next level, more info soon

Resurrection? I wasn't aware it was dead lol... I hope you do come out with a vortex 3.0, I like the clear transparent tubes as opposed to the "clear" fluxos which are not actually clear or transparent but translucent Also I vote NO for 3ml capacity. I dont' know, maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of all these big ... cartos/clearos... by the time you add that and a drip tip (if you use) you got something longer than a pen.

If they had the regular sized fluxo's in stock, I'd probably have already ordered them. The decision is so hard... first was leaning towards fluxos, then vortex's, and it's been going back and forth. :mad:

in order for a vortex system to work properly it needs to be a little bigger then most, now the cyclone is a true next gen vortex but it will keep the cyclone name, this new product is more like taking the vortex name to a different level, its pretty cool.


regular fluxos are a few weeks away, but vision nano's(.08-.09ml) are a week or so away

Ordered a pack of the Vortex 2.0's :D Got a couple more GREAT reviews and couldn't resist.

cyclones? what is that? I'm not seeing it listed on the site. If regular sized fluxos are a few weeks away, then by that time I will have had time really try out the vortex 2.0's I just ordered so maybe I'll probably order a pack to compare.

problem with those perfectly clear tubes is that they seem to almost always crack down near the base, both because they are more brittle and seem to get even more so when using certain juices. the material of the frosted tubes is a lot more flexible and I haven't cracked one yet nor had a leak, they are a bit thicker but the difference is minimal, and they are still clear enough to see the liquid clearly even using the colored ones.

BTW I was a huge Fluxo fan over the Vortex (I don't care for how condensation builds up in the vortex tube). but the fluxos sometimes have a slight burnt rubber taste probably from the inner plug being overheated. I just tried my first Vision extreme and I have to say hands down its far and away the best carto that I have tried, I wish they were a bit cheaper though, as they are quite a bit more expensive than the fuxomizers.

I have been reading all around these forums and also checking out some reviews on youtube because I have been trying to decide whether to get the Vortex, Fluxos or the Vision. I have only had experience with some clearomizers from Volcano and looking for something better. I am mainly going to be using these to sample my flavors when I buy sampler packs because they can be cleaned and reused several times. I am truly a resurrector/boge fan that makes my vaping experience hassle free, especially with the tanks that are out for the cartos. Anyways..... I have been steering more towards the Vortex 2 because it seems hassle free when needing to refill or fill for the first time but there are not alot of video reviews of them so it is hard to tell if anyone has leaking problems. I think I found 2 reviews on youtube. The other thing is that I need to also get an adapter for my Ego batts because it is an 808 connection, but no biggie.

Now I just read that there is a Cyclone?? I checked the site also with no luck finding them. Is there a link that you could give us to help locate them. If these are the newest versions of the Vortex then I may just look into getting them instead. I'll keep my eye on this thread........

yes thats the x7, its the new ce3, we skipped the first order but have some newer ones incoming in a few weeks as well. if we didnt jump on something there must be a reason so be patient, we test many products and some are simply not ready but changes are being made so when they are ready ill let you know

we turned down the ce3 and for a few reasons, they didnt take off like the ce2 and again for reasons many have already discussed. but that will all be changing soon, bottom coils are coming and coming hard.

ce3 and x7 are like the vortex, difference is how you fill them, just wait until you all see the vortex 3

Can't wait. I don't like hot vapor, so i'm happy that more bottom coils are coming out. Will the vortex 3's come in different sizes and ohm's? And as far as the new clearo's you have coming out soon (across the board) are there going to be any options that are about the same size or only slightly bigger than a standard cartomizer? or are they all gonna be huge like the CE2 XL and some of the longer visions?

Kush, I have not tried the Vortex but have used the Fluxomizer Deluxe for a couple of months, until recently. They did a good job, but you had to fiddle with them to get them to work optimally. I ended up removing the caps, removing the o-ring and cup seal and filling them without a needle, replaced the o-ring only and they worked fine, if not for a little leaking on occasion. I know what you mean about the batteries being "regular" sized, I think that helped me in the first couple of months off of analogs. I've switched to 510 since then, eGo's mostly, and started using tanks, they just hold so much more fluid and for me it was woth it. You can get batteries in 510 that are still small that would allow you to use all the attachments available, which I found to be substantially more than with the 808D lines.

I have tried the 808 fluxomizer and the vortex 2 (of course your question may be moot, as the vortex 2 is gone) but I have found that I personally prefer the 510 fluxomizer on an 808 battery with an adapter. I don't know why, but it seems to work better than the 808 fluxo.
Yeah I know... they can still be had from other vendors, however not sure if there is actually a difference or just one vendor or the other making a mistake, cuz the other place I've seen them are listed as higher ohms (which is bad, imo)

I was going to try the fluxo's but they never got the regular sized ones back in stock like they said they were going to. Also don't like the top coil design. and kept hearing about leaks and rubber taste, so I decided against them. Plus seems like they need a lot of tinkering, vortex 2.0 doesn't need any. I wish they would make more regular sized (same diameter as 808 battery) clearo's cuz i don't like all these huge ... ones they're coming out with. Is SOOOOO impractical.

Well that's nice and all, but this thread is not about batteries. but since you brought it up... I dont' know why so many people seem to be "510 fanboys" IMHO, the 808 is a better design. and isn't it newer too? and Just as mentioned above about huge cartos/clearos.... huge batteries are just WAY to impractical.
