CE2 tube help

[axmncg]

I got into vaping about 3 years ago. I stocked up on CE2's from Gotvapes. The tubes back then kept cracking and had leaking issues. I searched here and took the suggestion to cut syringes for a tighter fit. I couldn't get that to work either and gave up vaping out of frustration. I want to give this another go, but before I buy new stuff I would like to use the forty or so CE2 clearos I have left. I also have about 20 "extra thick" tubes which also crack and leak.

Can anyone suggest ways to use or alter the tubes I have? All I can think of is to apply glue or tape the end of the tube to prevent leakage. Thanks for any ideas you can offer.

Yeah, I remember the clearo tube cracking situation, that's why I switched to the using the metal CE2's in tanks. There were tanks made to use plastic tubed versions, but I never used one and can't recall any of their names, getting ahold of a tank would probably be ideal for you, though it might prove difficult to find one for purchase. You could get verified and put a wanted add in the classifieds for one of those old tanks. I may have another option you might consider, if interested send me a pm.

what size syringes are you using? when I used those I used the bd brand 3ml syringes and didn't have a problem(had heard that BD brand works a lot better)and had no problem with cracking and melting with these either

The 3 mL syringes should work, but if they are still a bit loose use a wrap or two of Teflon plumbers tape on the connector end before seating the syringe. I still have a couple boxes of CE-2's in my stash box, but have moved on to the Vision Vivi-Nova, it's like a CE-2 with a bigger tank around it.

I know e-juice can crack mostly Cinn and citrus flavor but there may be more. The strength of the juice plays a part in this as well. Try some juice that you know does not crack tanks Clearo tubes. That where I would start.

Hi axmncg. Good to see you want to return to vaping. Rob at Good Prophets used to make a tank for the ce2 that used only the base/stem/head.... you actually remove the tube completely... send him an email and he may have some left. They where quite ahead of their time..... if that is a no go then you are basically back to modding the tubes with the bd syringe tubes... i have done it a few times and does work brilliantly once you get the hang of it. Good Luck. Happy Vaping .

Thanks for the suggestions. I did buy a box of 100 3ml BD syringes. It seemed so ridiculous to walk around with a cut up syringe. I threw out that box along with everything else except the 40+ CE2's. I'll try what you all suggested. Thank you.
