Hi Xy. Sorry you are having issues. So what liquid are you trying in this fluxo? What %VG/PG and what flavor specifically? How full is the clearo?

Almost all the ce2 style with top coils and wicks need to be tipped to or beyond horizontal in order to re-wet the uppermost portion of the wicks where the heating coil resides. This is different than a cartomizer in that respect.

Usually i use my v2 liquid maxes, thats the same thing right?

To answer your q's, if vg produces less vapor and more taste and throat hit, then 60/40. If thats not what vg does then its the other way around
The flavor is a combination of peach watermelon and cantaloupe. Nic strength is 36. From EC blend.
The clearo is almost completely full. I sometimes get flavor and it works very well when i getthe flavor but it only gave me a good hit like 4-5 times so far. Maybe i got too low of ohmage? However, i dont think .4-.6 increased ohmage wont do much.

Possible a burnt top seal. I'm looking for the thread with pics to alter them. Give me a minute...

... ok, here ya go. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gotvapes/289240-new-ce2-supreme-fluxomizers-now-stock-510-808-both-sizes-ohms-easy-fill-system-included-17.html. Look at the pics in post 165. I always cut the inner ring, but I have never bothered with cutting the larger slits in the sides. YMMV, but I wwould definitely recommend at least cutting the inner ring on the bottom of the cup seal.

Ive had it tipped horizontal for about 5 min then stood it up so its backwards for about 5 min also. This hardly changed the taste, but i can taste a hint of my original liquid, but mainly burnt

I havn't dealt with the small ce2 in quite a while, but if this is anything like those then they do reqire regular rinse and dry burning(after they are disassembled) too keep them working well. Now I dont think this is your particular issue, but it wont hurt anything to try ut either. As far as the ohm load, that load should wotk perfectly fine on your Kr808. Hope you get it sorted out.

It sounds like he hasn't done enough of vaping on it for it to be gunked up yet so a suggestion of dryburn would only further burn the wick. Sounds like you burnt the wick once and now your having troubles because of this. Always make sure your clearo's wicks are fully saturated prior to the first vape otherwise you could inflict irreversible damage to the wick that the coil is over and it will continue to burn down the road. You might be able to save it yet.

Also wanted to correct you: PG = Flavor/TH and VG = Vapor/Cooler
Low Ohm/resistance = hotter coil. High Ohm/resistance = cooler coil.
Low Ohm/res = low voltage. High Ohm/res = higher voltage.
I usually double the 1st digit of the ohm of my coils......
and then halve the 2nd number & adjust up mostly (or down) if I have to.

OK so what I think the problem might be is 1. an initial burn of the wick before it was sufficiently soaked 2. A wicking issue where the juice is having a hard time getting to the coils. You may want to, for now, switch to a different flux until you get this one figured out. You can dump the juice out of this one if possible. Then go ahead and head over to the flux thread posted above for suggestions on how to get the troublesome one to start wicking properly. You might need to take it apart and unpinch the wick strands or something technical like that. Your best bet is to head over to the flux thread where there are more flux users to find your question and help out.

Wow, 36 mg Nic? That's really packing a punch!

Did you try the fluxo again? In my experience once you get rid of the burnt part of the seal the juice and the fluxo are both fine. If not, like Stringer said you can save the juice. Try it in another device and it should be fine.

FWIW, I try to remember to mod all my fluxos this way before using. Sooner or later, they will usually need it. :)

I am still getting somewhat of a burnt taste. Is there a way to take the rubber thing out and leave it out if that is in fact what is causing the burnt taste?
