Someone please help me with these damn fluxomizers

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

So I ordered a pack of XL black (not see thru) fluxos from gotvapes.com. First Ill say I think how you have to go about filling them is not at all user friendly, not even possible at least for me without an actual syring. I filled them up with about 45 drops, let em sit overnight. And no matter what after a couple good drags they taste )like crap(burnt) I've tried taking out the thin and first rubber gasket before the filler gasket, I've heard the burning iws the silicone being singed, still problems. I've searched for a while with no answers. Anybody?

Sorry, I've only used the clear ones - I'm sure they are similar (or the same), but it's hard to tell what's going on without seeing the functioning stuff inside. I know there's a bit on youtube about fluffing up the wicking strings near the top of the thing to make them wick better. Also, I've heard tipping them side to side helps the wicking too (to get the juice up near the top where the wicking strings are).

Also, did you get the LR ones? (not a huge LR fan)

sometimes they say you need to fluff the wick at the top near the atty to help it wick better. try putting a couple drops on the coil as well. If you took the silicone seal off of the ceramic cup, make sure the slits in the side of the seal are matched up with the wick.

I fill mine with a syringe and the small flexible plastic needle that comes with it. Just put it through one of the small holes in the silicone seal. I can see everything going on in them though because I got the clearomizers.

What ohms did you get and what type of PV do you have?

You should use the filling kit. It's hard to get the seals back in correctly if take them out.

I have the 2.4-2.6 ohm ones and Im using a 3.7v XL batt from V4L. And I am using their filling kit but I took a plastic syringe from a dental whitening kit and epoxied it to their soft rubber tip, and I'm not even removing the second seal

I had the same experience with the stainless ones - I relegated them to the bottom of my vape-stash case for end-of-the-world usage.

 

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the same. As if it wasn't a PITA enough to fill them, they don't even work like they should. I shouldn't have to do ANYTHING to use them. Well I got ripped off. Id stay away from these folks

I don't know a bunch as I'm fairly new at this, but I do know I really really like the fluxomizers from GotVapes. I take the inner ring out & either leave it out or put it back in upside down. I didn't do this on the first one I tried & I did get the burnt taste. As I understand it, it happened because the wick was being pressed/pinched & no/not enough liquid was getting to the coil. Once I took the inner ring out & turned it upside down on the other ones I've tried, I'm getting wonderful clean flavor & really great vapor. Definitely more flavor than the cartos I'm also using & dripping into, & the puff feels warmer/fuller & more sastisfying on my throat. The first time removing the inner ring is the hardest part I've found, after that it's easy in & out. I use a little flat part on my leatherman to gently & carefully pull it out the first time. Then drip along the side of the tube quite alot of juice (1 ml reg to 1.8 ml xl I think?) to completely & quickly fill. So less dripping throughout the day, just fill it up & vape away & you can see when you need to fill again as the liquid visibly decreases.
I'm a big fan of these! Good luck, take care!

I have clear XL and regular ones and love them.. I don't take the plastic seal out, if you look at it, it has a hole in it, I use a 1 1/2" blunt point needle and fill them with that, it works perfectly. I just want a darn whistle drip tip to stick in the end of it, they give you a tiny drip tip with each pack of 5 but it's just too small.

Hi BillNye, I think someone listed the link earlier to the grand opening thread that continues to get new comments & feedback daily. Chris (Bad) & Danno are there to help work out any issues you may experience. Very friendly & eager to help. Again, good luck! I figure when my cartos run out I'll be using the fluxomizers exclusively. To each his own

Got mine Saturday. Had all of the above issues.
They seem to suck a lot of juice while giving off bad taste (because of poor wicking).
The parts gotvapes sent with the pack to fill sucked. The little dropper ended up filling the blue syringe tip and overflowed onto my hand more than going into the carto. I ended up getting a paper clip and pulling off the stopper and drip into it.
I think I'll be sticking with the LR Yeti Cartomizers from altsmoke. Easy to use, great vapor.

The answer I came up with is the circular file along with all the other leaking Lenas that don't perform consistently. Great Idea but the E2s, the clears and the Map have a way to go before they're ready for prime time.
