I have been using CE2's for a very long time. I found the old style Fluxomizers the best I have ever used. I switched to the Phoenix Top coils as my new Carto of choice.

I opened my new box, filled one of my Phoenix TC's with juice, the next day it was empty.

Upon further inspection I found micro fractures in the tubing. They where extremely hard to see, but they were there, and the draining of my liquid was obvious. This has happened to two of my Phoenix TC's, luckily, I have saved all of my "tubes" from all of my old Flux's and Phoenix's for just such an emergency.

This is probably a fluke, but the description of the tubing says durable not almost indestructible as in the past. I am not sure what caused this cracking, but thought I would mention it.

So hold on to some good tubes, and put them aside for a leaky day.

Or use 3ml syringe tubes....
