How do you make visual editor default inside Flow instead if wikieditor.
I have VE set as default on main namespace but I still get wikiteditor as default in flow talk pages.

Just switch to VE, create a new topic or a reply and next time it will be the default editor.
To be more specific:
(*) In order to "use" a mode you need to make some sort of change in that mode, and click save. Typing in wikitext mode, switching to visual, and saving with no new changes, would count as wikitext mode.
@TitusiMW, you mean in a Wikimedia wiki, or in a third-party wiki?
In a Wikimedia wiki, you have to switch to visual editing mode and the wiki remembers this choice. In another configuration, it may be different.
My question was for a private hosted wiki. I understand how to switch between modes. I woould like to make VE default for all users of my wiki. Is there a way to do that?
I wish you luck with that. We have been asking the WMF for a way to make wikitext the default, and the WMF doesn't want to fix the dysfunctional "start in an effectively random mode" design.
@Wargo I dont think that really works. I already have
$wgFlowEditorList = array( 'visualeditor', 'none' );
But this only makes VE available. WikiEditor is still the default editor until each user specifically switches to VE.
