Code:

$this->session->set_flashdata('item', 'value');

Sorry, my mistake. I was using "set_flashdata". I figured what was the problem. I've been testing the project on my localhost server, but the db i was using for session storing was on a remote server with a pretty shitty connection (3-4 sec to get mysqli connected).
So as far as i'm aware now there two solutions:
- do not use remote databases for session storage, use a local one (same sever)
- use cookies only for sessions

dunno why, will look up the "core" code to investigate that "bug" or whatever.
