are clearomizers improved from e2 ?

[luv2vape]

looking for opinions on the new clearomizers.wonder if its just a e2 with a clear tank or have they improved the slow wicking? im a chain vaper and the old wicks just couldnt keep up, hoping for positive reviews because these look really cool !

They do seam to be a little better but not much. However doing a ptb mod on the new clear ones is very easy to since you can see what you are doing!

I've been vaping an R5 XL Clear Cartomizer, (someone on another thread dubbed them Clearo's, and I like that), for almost 2 weeks. Prior to this I vaped Steel R4 XL's. I find the R5 Clearo much improved. Wicking appears to be improved. However, mine, it helps to vape horizontal, or even Batt high. This is pretty normal attitude for me anyway. I vape 50/50 or greater % VG juice. Differences I notice between the R4's and R5's are: it wicks better, and, (maybe because it's plastic), the Clearo doesn't get as hot. My R4's, (metal), got very hot, depending on the juice I vaped. Another difference, the R5 XL appears to be a juice hog. Either that, or I enjoy it so much that I've increased my vaping from 2 XL's a day to neigh onto being through a third fill. Mine are 2.6~2.8 ohm, clear. I can see some might use the translucent colored versions for juice differentiators, or even different colors in different ohm ranges. Lots of possibilities. The Clearo is a winner for me. JMHO

Cheers,

I found that Ce4 or Ce5 with MapTank's work better with less refilling as I am a chain vaper.

Though Ce5 clears dry out as well sometimes, but you can just tilt it as well, to re-wick it. Its alot better than previous Ce4...

it is easier to ptb these w/ cut wicks. just put it on a battery and gently twist and pull up the clear tube off of the ce2. then you just cut the wicks and do a little dry burn just in case. put the clear tube back on and insert ptb strips.

I found these very unsatisfactory. Wicking was crap, even with lots in the tank and held upright ish. The atomizer burned so much I could clean black acky stuff off of it with a piece of paper towel. I haven't had that problem with my other R4 ceramics, even when slow wicking, which they can be. I'm unwilling to trouble with foam/teabag materials, honestly.

Michelle, if you rinse first with water, the dry burn is pretty quick. Even with the ones that are gunned pretty bad. That's all I have ever done to mine, clean, dry burn and refill. I know...PTB..I've never seen the advantages to it, didn't like the mess.
Try this and see if it isn't better.
