Too many. I realize there are already posts like this, these are things others have said. I put it here so you (mods and users) can see it, and the mods can decide to place it where they want to.
The goal is to have the wicks breathe, the seal tight, and a filling method that YOU prefer.
For those afraid of syringes, the Bottle Applicator Kit solves that for most people.

Don't be intimidated by how long this is. This is just for the worrywarts that want specifics. You can skip to read what you need to. If it's in red it's something you want to know regardless.
For FIRST TIME use:
1. Do not fill PAST the white ceramic wick cup. Ideally, just a little bit under that is good.
2. You can drip a couple drops on the coil area to get that soaked faster.
3. Let it SIT for a good 10 minutes or so. It's because you want that wick as SATURATED as it can get. You CAN drip 2/3 drops onto the coil and just vape on the spot, but you will hit a dry spot very fast. If you allow the first few minutes of the initial fill to soak, once that wick the coil is wrapped around is completely saturated, you can chain vape to your hearts content. (Afterwards, you won't need to let it soak again unless you wash it out and dry it completely.)
Different ways of using it:
1. Just use it as is out of the box. Sometimes that's all you need to do. Plenty of CE2 users are satisfied with the fluxos out of the box. For us others, or those that just like to tinker. There are other things.
2. Simply use a bent paper clip and lift the silicone cup a little bit off the wicks to let it wick better.
3. Pop out the rings and use the middle o-ring or mouthpiece as a stopper. (You'll have to drip fill)
4. Snip off the wick slots from the silicone ring to make a V and use that way. (Syringe fill)
5. Just snip off the whole bottom part of the silicone ring completely. (Syringe fill)
6. Use the silicone ring upside down.
7. Use a DT only! (Sometimes the wick cup is high enough that you can. Or you can cut down the tube with a Xacto knife or something)
8. Use your Vortex 2.0 mouthpiece!
You can fluff the wicks if you feel necessary with any of these ways.
When removing rings, use something thin like a paper clip, straighten one end out and bend the tip 1/4 of an inch to make a 90 degree angle. When you take them out, push the clip against the tube, UNDER the wick slot, but NOT HOOKING the wick. Easiest way to see it is on the older style tubes. If you feel you're snagging a wick, stop and adjust. The silicone ring has never really been hard to remove if you do it properly.
On refills and changing flavors:
1. Generally you can just vape it till it's about empty and refill with another new flavor, and after a few vapes that new flavor will come out clean (EVEN if the juice colors still look mixed)
2. If you choose to, you can also suck out the old juice with a syringe or spill it out or whatever, though sometimes mixing is fun.
On Cleaning:
There are simple ways as just washing it (fully assembled) through hot water and such. And then dry burning for a few seconds at a time and then scraping off the burnt gunk and blowing it out.
I prefer to:
1. Take out any rings/mouthpieces.
2. Pull off the tubes by gently wiggling them back and forth. Like bree said, easy does it.
3. Fill a container with hot water and slowly swirl or just let sit inside, do this with the fluxos and their tubes. (I honestly just turn on the hot water in the sink. Others will recommend you to use near boiling distilled water which is cleaner, better for your wicks and stuff. Your choice, I'm just lazy)
4. Dry em! Run a rolled paper towel through the tubes, sit the Fluxos on a paper towel, feel free to dab dry the wicks (VERRRY GENTLY)
5. No need to wait, blow air through the tube from the battery end, and connect it to your battery for dry burning.
6. Do 5 second bursts (or whatever you choose) till you get that glow, and keep doing so until there's sort of a white coating over the coil and the wick under is whiiite!
7. With a toothpick or something sharp but not hard enough to break your coil/wick, scrape off that white gunk. Blow it off. If you feel the need to, wash it off with water. Then just dry again.
8. Reassemble. When you put stuff together, make sure things are lined up. (That airtube and wick cup should be dead center if you can.)
Watch out! :
- If you've opened up the wick slots in any way and leave it on its side or upside down, juice will eventually work its way into the airtube. By eventually, I mean overnight or a few hours. It won't be much, but for auto batt users like me, if it's not gonna be vaped for a very long time, just take it apart in case it happens.
- Just because the new tubes are virtually unbreakable, doesn't mean your batteries aren't Also if you slam it hard enough you can pop off the tube, especially if you've taken it apart before.
- Heads up, if you have one that's wicking properly, these are juice hogs. It'll be one of the sweetest vapes you've had with virtually no altered flavors. The things you can use to alter flavors and temps are mouthpieces and drip tips.
I wish I wasn't too lazy to get up so I could take pics. If someone wants to add pics, post em and I'll edit em in.
