I'm quite puzzled by Elixir users who say they've never encountered that issue. Perhaps they play delicately and exclusively bare-fingered?

Either that or there are a lot of "old" packs of strings going around

Hmmm... I've used both kinds of Elixirs exclusively on ALL my guitars for the past 10 or so years (since they first appeared). I play with fingerpicks, nails, flatpick, whatever - hard and soft, and have NEVER had the problem with flaking! Don't change them particularly often, either

Perhaps it has more to do with a reaction of the natural oils on your hands and the strings?

Whatever it is, you should send the "flakey string" back to Elixir with an explanation/details of its use so they can test it!!
