Man am i glad i saw your post as i was about to order the nexux because it uses ccell coils. Ive had best luck with ald amaze pods. That what my dispensary here sells. Great flavor and no leaking but only place i found is ebatly for empty pods and a battery. I was looki g for a draw activated one like the nexus. I know the juul work and i found empty juul pods so that my next endeavor. Supposedly the juul pods work great with distillate.Hey guys, been following this thread and wanted to share my experience.
First - my question: I just picked up a Vaporesso Nexus. Loaded it with clear distillate from "Nug" and at first I was super pleased. On the lower temps it'll pull for a moment and then start blinking red. I assumed this to mean that it hit the temperature limit but now I'm not sure?
Worse, after about a day of leaving the distillate in there (no additives or anything) the draw is now clogged. I need to pull for a while to heat it up and then pull hard and I can hear a pop when the oil unclogs and allows air to be drawn (and the oil to hit my mouth). Any recommendations for what to do? I've been trying to store it in other orientations but it still seems clogged regardless?
At first I tried making liquid from BHO shatter and puff majic. This worked OK but the shatter is non-winterized which is problematic for the cart and the Kanger T3S I was using is just poorly designed and leaks through the wick a lot (the upside being you could rebuild the wick when the inevitable plant matter/solids ruin it). The puff majic seems to work fine, I got the 'naked' and don't really taste much when using it. After reading more on here about the potential hazards of PEG/PG/VG though I decided to stop fooling around and take advantage of living in a legal state.
SO, I searched around LA but only really found 1 clinic in Santa Ana with distillate in syringes/dablicators. It's fairly reasonably priced though so I gave it a shot (any other recommendations?) So far pretty happy with the Vaporesso coils - I really like being able to use them with straight distillate without additives. I'm hoping I can fix the clogging issue. I might just get a drizzle tank and TC mod next? Also have some Amigo v9 carts on the way to try
Also worth pointing out I think the Nexus tank is plastic which might be a concern for long term storage of liquids with solvents in them. I picked up some terps (linalool, limonene) and I'm hoping just a drop or two in the Nexus will help the distillate flow better and help with the clogging? Also hoping I can use the terps on winterized CO2 oil (jelly consistency) and run that. Has anyone had success with that?
That seems like a lot to make a device work. Especially cuz I put it in my pocket at work and I figured it was an enclosed typdevice and had ccell so had big hopes but seems like too much work when I know the ccell carts work but I seem to not like those too much..they really eat the oil and with the .5 it’s empty before it gets going it seems..maybe I’ll try the 1 ml
I've had the Nexus for a couple of months...
The tank is made of glass not plastic. I've never had it clog. I did have a problem with it providing small hits, meaning, you draw on it and very quickly the white indicator would blink red. I pulled out the coil, cleaned out the bottom contact, and put in a new coil with the device oriented so that the fill hole(tank) is facing down which fixed my problem. What I do now is try to keep the device on it's side with the on/off button facing away from me and pointing to the right. This seems to keep the coil from getting too saturated and now it hits fine and I've been using it everyday for the last couple of weeks.
Oh, LayKool - so you mean you set it down so that you can see the Vaporesso logo right side up, is that correct?
Comparing my new Drizzles to the Veco, it seems like consumption is down about 50%, but I'm just as happy just as often. It tripled going from Liberty V9's to the Veco. Are some setups that much more efficient than others?
On the Vaporesso site they say the tank is glass but the video shows that it is plastic which I have confirmed. I'm going to write them about that.
That's interesting about the consumption, I've been hitting some of the CCELL carts around SoCal lately and noticed I get much tastier draws and longer lasting carts when using my box mod versus the stick battery.
Judging from my nic-vape experience, the Sub Ohm Veco will chug more oil than the "super ohm" Drizzle. People use a much lower nicotine level with sub ohm setups because you are inhaling more nicotine per puff. So it would make sense that your Veco was delivering more THC per puff.
The thing is, and this is so subjective, it seems like I am getting the same amount of THC into me using half the oil, which is why I 'm hypothesizing about waste. I could be way off base as the observer has been known to be on drugs.
That's another variable in my unscientific experience; moved to a box mod when I got my Drizzles, so that would be helping efficiency as well.

@invertedisdead Thanks for your reply, I will try setting up a similar curve setting and give it a try. Makes sense tham getting it should help to make the oil last longer and give tastier hits. The pen battery Im getting has 3 power settings, but it will obviously not be as precise.
If it's one of the batteries where the settings adjust under 3.7v those are still pretty good. I have an Itsuwa stick battery with preheat and 3 power settings that I like quite a bit, but it acts real finicky all the time like it can't read the resistance of a cart for some reason and will lock me out, giving me the 3 flashing lights. It's not very reliable for that reason but before it started doing that it worked great. Been thinking about getting another just because that slim form factor is worth having in the toolbox. Curious about the CCELL Palm battery but not sure how hot it hits with the inhale controlled activation.
