That is really a question , with no clear answer . While the smokeymizer , is supposed to be an upgraded ce-2 , a lot of people still prefer the older fluxomizers/clearomizers , over the smokeys . The ce-2's tend to give a cooler vapor (IMO) but the plastic casing , tends to crack easier . I've always had pretty good luck with mine , and with cleanings , last quite a long time . Now on to the smokey's . I have to admit , Ilike these too . a bit sturdier , still easy to use , and last a long time . That being said , the vapor seemed a bit warmer on these , but I was ok with that . TH seemed to be about the same to me . So I fuess it's really up to you to decide . Get some of each , and decide for yourself .
