You pack it - they were talking about prepackaged cartriges, but to the best of my knowledge they did not come out with it.

Not sure if they fixed it, but even instructors were having issues with it flooding.

I've never seen one flood and I've never heard of one flooding. It actually is self evacuating through the OPV so any water in the counterlung is purged. It would have to be a pretty serious leak. Even a small leak would not allow it to pass the pre-dive routine.

as owner of explorer advice you don,t waste your money as I did by buying explorer

wait what? If he's diving an SCR which is a fixed FO2 scenario, same as nitrox, why would the computer give a damn whether he is on OC or SCR?

I apologize for getting wrapped up in the CCR mindset. You are correct, any Nitrox comparable dive computer should work as a backup to the Explorer's built in system.
