we are also working on the next gen pump cart, a truly nex gen version, no leaks, no flooding, truly controlled release, you press the button and it squeezes out 1 drop at a time gaurentted, it uses a bladder like the turbine 2 to gaurentee it only releases a drop when pressed, there is no filler and the hole is sealed with a slit in it so juice can only release when pressed.

im going to introduce a new cleaner soon, no need to dry burn, removes gunks off coils in 5 minutes flat, just rinse off and let dry.

Ok Bad, don't toy with me like that:glare: If you come I with this the dark and sweet joose better watch out..

Thanks, Bad, for this kind offer. I'll definitely be taking you up on this. When the Stardust comes back in stock I plan to give them a try and I'll order some more Fluxos and a bag of old seals.

I was a little out of it when you first posted this -- hadn't slept in over 24 hours and was kind of punchy. So I somehow neglected to actually thank you. This is very good news!

How often are you guys cleaning your stardusts? I'm noticing mine is getting a little tighter of a draw and not producing quite the same amount of vapor...probably time to clean it out. I've used it for just under a week now.

Also, thanks for the detailed video, I will definitely be trying this out. I've always enjoyed tinkering with things and taking things apart :D

After 3-4 days I do a quick rinse / dry burn then about 2 more days before it's too gunked up for me so I re-coil/wick and start the process over. I use mostly VG dark juices so I kill coils/wicks pretty fast.

My first stardust now has it's 5th coil and the 2nd stardust is on its 3rd but they are beginning to leak a tiny bit out the bottom. Not bad for almost 2 months of use and I might be able to fix the leak with a bigger wick next time.

Hopefully my spare unused stardusts will be easy enough to take apart without destroying but most of them have cracks and never been used yet. I like these things.

Lately I've been cleaning the one I'm using with Boba's daily. Hot water rinse, dry burn to just barely glowing red, whiskey rinse, shake dry, fill and vape. Takes a while to get it going again without taking it apart, but so far, so good.

Mine is seriously chain vaped. Upwards of 1000 hits a day...OMG.

lol! I miss vaping my Boba's and GJ. I'm hoping the next batch of Stardusts are easier to take apart to clean - I'm vaping 50/50 and 60/40 juice on them, and I still have to rinse/dry burn them daily or every other day.

It's the only juice I buy. Not the only juice I vape, DIY for variety, but I just can't come close to replicating it.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they will be easier to take apart, where we wont need a piece of pipe and a hammer to loosen it up...I'm sure someone will post on that when they get them...I'm just wishing they had the LR one's in stock...I always seem to have bad luck with timing.

yes it came and also while not as residuey as the natural 420 it was still going to be a issue unless washed aggressively and for a while, so i asked the company to add less of the main ingredient, waiting on samples

Gotcha...

Those NASA Guys Always go overboard on the Ingredients.

Did you see the posts where people were pressing it out - using either a drill press or a wood-working clamp and a dowel? I haven't needed to take mine apart completely yet, but I plan on using one of those methods when a standard alcohol/water rinse stops working. My success at hammering metal parts from plastic is pretty low and these are too good to waste.
