Honestly, I was not happy with the new Ce2s. I didn't like the vapor, too light and not really as warm as I was used to heres what I did, it's very simple, I am sure I am not the first one to do this, but hope it helps.

What you need:

An eyeglass screwdriver (or anything to get the silicon cap off the atomizer)
Sissors
An old top plug, bung or what ever you call it
(optional) an old silicon cap from an old Fluxo)

First - Remove the driptip (duh)

Second - Take your small screwdriver or some small tool, place it down the tube, and slide it carefully toward the side (careful not to rip the silicon) where the wicks are, and slowly lift the silicon cap from the atomizer (careful not to pull the atomizer and the rod too far). If it does not fully come off, move to the other side, and repeat, it should come off then.

Optional - If you have a old silicon cap from an old Fluxo you can try to place it back in place of the new one, and your done, if you don't have one, go to step 3.

Third - Take the new silicon cap, you will see a "stem" sticking up from the middle, take you scissors and clip it off as close to the bottom of the "stem" as you can (you see whats coming don't ya?) this leaves a hole just about the same size as the old silicon covers had. Now replace the silicon cover back around the atomizer, remembering to line up the slits where the wicks are, and your set. If you get a dry hit, loosen up the sides where the wicks are.

Thats it! Now put on your old Fluxo cap or bung or drip tip and vape away.

I know what your thinking, won't it leak? Nope. I have 5 of them going, and have been going for a week now, no leaks. Sometimes a gurgle here and there but I got that with the old ones.

I thought I was stuck with 5 boxes of something I didn't like, but WOW this small adjustment brought back the GREAT vapor I have come to love of the Fluxomizers. Hope this helps someone.

Respectfully,

Mezzum

I also bought 5 packs of these, and the 1st one I opened performed poorly. I was quite irritated, as I fell for the hype... It's working well, now, but with some end-user help.

I have been using it with only the older, smaller silicone tip as well. It's almost a perfect fit, and seals between the cup and tube just fine when it's almost completely pushed in to the flange on the tip. I recommend this, and will be buying more of the old tips.

The other problem that I found was that the coil was very closely wound on one side of the cup, and was burning liquid with anything longer than a 1-second hit on 3.7v (2.5ohms.) I used some very sharp tweezers to carefully spread the wires out across the wick in the cup into a nicely uniform helical shape, and it hits like a champ, now.

Hopefully that last part was a fluke, and I don't have to adjust them all.

I already posted this in another thread but I will post it here to because everyone needs to hear this.

My Fluxo Supreme mod procedure:

1. Remove silicon inner plug.
2. Throw silicon plug in trash.
3. Fluff wick.
4. Insert standard 510 drip tip.
5. vape away.

These are not leaking without anything but a drip tip.

This is the best piece of advice I have received to date on this forum!

To fluff the wick, you take a little pair of tweezers and just pull on the wick itself a little bit, to make it a bit "fluffier", right?

I'll be getting my Fluxo's and my 5 new flavors on Monday so I want to get them going ASAP! :)

Yep, that would be fluffing. If tweezers don't fit, you can also use the standard vaping tool... an opened up paper clip... to pull the wicks up.

I'm with you Danno. I don't get the complaints. These work great for me. I have had to cut on the underside of the cup seal for a few that I accidentally bumped the volts a little too high and burnt the seal. Other than that, fill, vape, heaven.
