I was just trying 2.6 ohm CE2 v5 non-XL ones for the first time. I am thinking I should have done more research, because I am guessing they need to be cleaned before use as they tasted like shiitake. I only read the instructions that came with them, and not the forum... :D

I had no luck with the reg CE 2 clearomizers, tasted really nasty. I've tried the 3.2 XL & now the 2.8-3 XL i like them both

You're kidding! That's a little ridiculous, isn't it? I guess people that bought the 1,2,3,4.. don't get refunds.

I started using them on and off with revision 2. Those of who kept using the previous versions made them work and supplied feedback which is why they are now up to R6. So far, I'm not all that impressed with the new wick and it seems the chemical taste is hit or miss. They ALL work 1,000 times better than the Giantomizer. Total fail IMO. I have 4 that will never get used lol.

Been making the R4's work, with syringe mods, extra shrink tube bracing, Teflon tape gaskets, and the best just using the CE2 innards in a Smokey Tank Mod (even wicks 50/50 juice well). The CE2's in my experience take cleaning abuse better than any other carto or atty for the price. Haven't tried the Giantomizer, wasted my money on the 510 and ego Mega slim smart carts, they work about as good as the ancient blue foam mod. They work but just not as well as advertised.

I had two boxes of XL CE2-x clearomizers arrive today. In the package also was the new orange blast, along with big red gum, and Swedish fish flavors.

I promptly loaded one up with big red and was suitably impressed. An hour or two later I noticed some caramelization on the wick but diddn't think much of it until it started to draw a bit tight. I pulled the tank and while still half full the originally clear juice was now deep brown, nearly black. I pulled the top assembly apart and the coil was completely glassed over with what looked like cooked sugar.

Dumped the half tank of juice, took it apart, washed everything, did a few dry burns and more washes and have most of the goo off. it is on a final dry now.

I'm not too pleased with this new juice. I've gone several (5-7) full fills on some other juices on my previous version clearomizers without the coil/burner gunking up, this took half a tank to get much worse!

Am I missing something here?

Might depend on the resistance of the cartos, the clearomizers are now available in a variety of LR and HV, and also what voltage you're vaping them. Too much resistance and too little voltage and the coil doesn't get hot enough. It's a tough balancing act, too many watts and the juice burns, too little and it may gunk up.

Good point. My previous versions are 2.8-3.0 Ohm bin these new ones are 2.6-2.8 Ohm bin (no 2.8-3.0 available when I ordered) All are run on genuine eGo 3.2V batts.

I'll try the juice on a known good previous gen (multiwick) clearomizer next and my known non-problematic juice on the new version clearomzer (single braided wick) and see what happens.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'd really like to know why you think the Giantomizers are a Fail? I have one and it works great, but I'm still a newb at all this so maybe I'm missing something.

I finished cleaning the CE2 and refilled it with the Flux orange blast, so far I'm half through the tank and there seems to be no caramelization creeping down the wick or accumulation on the coil. I'm going to shake my fist in the sky at the big red gum flux nectar now.

EDIT: I ran the tank completely dry with the Orange, looked at the coil, clean wire, clean wick, no build up of anything.

*gives the big red gum nectar bottle an evil stare*
