Sweet. I used to be the type to push an item as far as it could go but then I had children and they pushed me patience-wise as far as I could go so now I like things simple lol.
OMG So Freakin' Excited

I know the feeling. In some things my patience has become inversely proportional to my age.
But I still like making things work at their best -- for me it's fun, so I keep doing it.
Also, how to VG liquids affect the Fluxos? Shorter life, detract from the wicking at all?
Depends on whether it has been thinned to any degree. Thicker juices will have wicking issues even after modding; that's just the nature of most cartos. However modding does improve wicking to some degree so thicker juices will work better. I prefer a 70PG/30VG mix and have had zero wicking issues with them at nominal voltages -- up to about 4.1-4.2V on a 2.6-2.8ohm Fluxomizer Deluxe XL, and up to a full volt higher if I put the guts in a home made tank. But straight up, unadulterated syrupy VG? I'd probably want to fluff the heck out of the wicks (unwind them a bit) and maybe even slightly lift the O-ring off the sides of the cup where the wick slots are when I install it to allow more juice in at a time. But I haven't tried pure thick VG in one of these so I'm just making an educated guess here.
Thicker VG will definitely gunk up the coil faster though. That's pretty much true of anything.
OK, I use NLV 65/35 PG/VG blend. I've never had trouble with that juice in regular Boge cartos.
Cartos are a little bit different because the coil is surrounded by a sock which is surrounded by filler which is full of juice, so the coil is fed from all 360° and there's no real wick to speak of. Thicker juices do a little bit better in cartos because of this. CE2s pull the juice in through the wick from outside the cup, and the coil is wrapped around the cup so it relies more on the absorbency of the wick and its ability to soak up juice at a pace that's fast enough to feed the coil enough juice to keep pumping out vapor at your current voltage level. The Fluxomizer Deluxes have a pretty good wick but they have their limits. You can help the limits along with some fluffing -- or if you are ridiculously ambitious, replacing the wick with SS mesh, which also requires replacing the coil, so you might as well stick some Kanthal wire in there for robustness.
(Yes, I've thought about this, and yes, I'll probably be trying it at least once. )

Not feeling ridiculously ambitious. I'm really testing these out as I like the idea of no filler and seeing where my juice is at. I figured I could try these or a tank mod but wanted to try these first since for me they will have a sleek look. I may still try the tank mod but at a later time.
Yeah, understood. I do like the look of the Fluxos, and I've always loved the concept of a fillerless tank (but hated the eGo tanks), so these suit me just fine. I think you'll quite enjoy them. They may take a bit of fiddling before they work as well as they can but I haven't found anything better.
That and Ejoker's Blend. Last I saw they are still available. Awesome avatar btw Uma, I love that movie.
Grats on all your toys!
I also scored some RY4 and Ejoker yesterday.. they're still up! Dwindling fast. Looks like he put up a large batch this time. I've never tried them before either. Excited, not expecting much because I don't like tobacco flavors thus far but I just have to try it LOL I figure they'd go on the swap section in seconds if I don't like em. Excited though.
Not that I think I've purchased any quality tobacco flavors over a year ago when I stopped trying em... maybe I WILL like them..

I'm hoping for the same but you are right, they would make for some good bargaining later lol.
