Awesome, I just might have to try madvapes. What flavor did you get?

Been trying a few different juices to fill my own. So far so not good. I got four from local place in Charlotte that sucked. Ordered cherry and watermelon jolly rancher from gourmetvapor. The cherry was ok and the watermelon wasn't good at all. I was so excited to try these and was let down tremendously. My quest continues.

Keep us posted on the "Supercarto". Glad you like.

I got my pack of fluxomizers today and had to try one right away! I ordered the KR808D-1 2.6-2.8 ohm models. I filled the first one up, and think I burned it at first, unfortunately. Fresh from the package, the wicks are just too tightly squished in to get enough juice to the coil. Burny dry taste on the first draw, yuck!

However, after following the instructions on how to "fluff the wick" found on youtube, it worked far, far better than the standard 808 cartomizers I have. Big fluffly white clouds of delicious vapor! :vapor: It works fine on both the mini and mega "cig style" batteries I have. I am very happy with the fluxomizer, but I'd recommend anyone considering using them to watch this how-to video: Ce2 Cartomizer, Fluxomizer Clearomizer Tips & How-to, Gotvapes.com - YouTube

Re: Smoketip. Their battery warranty is nice, but their batteries are second rate and have the stupid screw which causes problems. I know this as I had like 5-6 of their batteries. Three of them died on me last week in the space of a few days. I'm replacing them all slowly with the Bloog minis (some people like the Volts) and find the Bloogs have way more power. Just a tip for the future...

Dunno. I don't think the SmokeTip was a bad buy at 60 bucks. From what I've seen that's pretty good for a half-decent starter kit. Still, had I known then what I know now, I probably would've opted for a Joye 510 or eGo or one of their clones as my first PV.

Fluxomizer update: I'm having so much fun with these, I've given myself a nicotine headache. Time to put the e-cig down for a while, I think... :blink: :blush:

please let us know how you like the 5ml mega dual coil cartos...i'd be interested in that...that's an all day vape for me lol

Noodoggy, I've been using the 5ml dual's and they are excellent. It's like running a regular sized dual but with bigger capacity. I've been using the same one for 3 weeks(ish) now. Every hit has great flavor, TH, and vapor production. No drop as of yet. My juice is light so that might be some of the reason for the longevity.

Aloysius...I've encountered pre-filleds that were dried up also. Unfortunately, we don't know how old they are. I love V4L's pre-filleds but have had, on occasion, the same problem as you. I opened a ticket and got them replaced. I don't know anything about SmokeTip so I can't help you there. Does sound like they have an excellent battery warranty though. You don't see that kind of warranty anywhere.

Here is another tip for the flux's. Take the ceramic cup silicone cap off. It takes some fooling with to get it off but take your time and go slow. Avoid the coil at all cost. I use a tiny precision screwdriver to work it up and out (it can be a booger to get out). Once out, clip the wick opening a tad bigger with a sharp pair of scissors. This will allow the juice to wick faster to the coil.
