Aspire ce5-s clearomizer leaking

[gnipav]

So for some reason this clearomizer (Aspire ce5-s) started gurgling on inhales yesterday. i thought i'd keep vaping until all the excess juice evaporates, but it kept gurgling the next day. So i decided to empty out the remaining juice, rinse out the clearomizer, wipe and leave it to dry. Well, lo n behold, next time i vape I pull e-juice straight through the clearomizer hole, and it even felt clogged! Every time i inhale it pulls e-juice now. I don't get how e-juice gets to escape into the center pipe, since it's sealed within the battery plug.

Did you try replacing the coil?

cool, but can u get those separately? Anyway, the clearomizer's less than $5, but the one i'm using's just about a month old. Might look into it, hoped for a quick fix.

Depending on your vaping habits, a month is about the upper limit for a coil to last.

A 5 pack of coils runs about $8. Vapecrawler

whew, didn't know that, thinking it's all metal and lasting.

Thanks, looked them up, so i saw they come in different ohms, does it matter as far as the battery?

 

[gandymarsh]

The difference is small but the lower resistance (ohms) will give slightly more vapor and be slightly warmer. They will also drain the battery faster.

Got it;

OMG @gnipav

When I last went to China, I took a team of those CE5s. I'd been sent them by a lovely, kind UK vendor as I was worried about having my vape gear confiscated. They were absolutely terrible, I kid you not. They use the 'baby' Aspire BVC atomizer coils (not Nautilus) and unless you run an exact ratio of PG/VG they either burn or leak.
I threw the tanks out (not for me, thank you) and used up the coils in a tank called "Aspire ETS BDC clearomizer".... they were much better in that tank (much less plastic to mishape) but still leaked.
