CE2's being terrible cartomizers... but.

[Algernon]

Amazing atomizers.

I honestly think this is one thing in the community that astounds me. I can't stand using CE2's for their intended puprose. They're dry, they wick terribly, they leak. The first two I used and I'm still using were like this. I finally got tired of it, drained the juice from them and broke them open from the bottom.

Wherein I clipped both ends of the wick off and put it back together using gorilla glue as a sealant. Then I took all of the o-rings off, popped a drip tip on and started dripping it and boy-howdy, this is an amazing drippable atomizer.

good throat hit, $9 for 5 of them, ability to dry burn for longer life. I think more people need to know about this but my main issue is for those times when I'd actually like to use it for its entended purpose for when I'm at the mall, driving and whatnot.

Fluffing the wick just seems to break the wicks more than anything else. moving the o-ring off doesn't seem to do much. I guess I'm just someone who just considers these cartomizers to be better atomizers than they'll ever be cartomizers.

That's a really interesting report. I've never used CE2's and for a long time I avoided them like the plague because people are so hot and cold with them. I finally caved and ordered some of GotVapes Flüxomizers because I figured I really can't judge until I tried. I've watched a ton of videos and read a lot on how to properly fill them first time and the best ways to (attempt) avoid the problems people had with them, but I'm glad to hear if they go totally south they'll still be worth the 11 bucks I spent. Some people have expressed a particular fondness for the Flüxomizers specifically. I know they're essentially CE2's and I have no idea what makes them any different-- maybe nothing, maybe people just like the brand-- but hopefully I'll have okay luck with them. If not, it sounds like your method works out pretty well.

I also discovered the same about dripping CE2s even thought I love using them for their intended purpose as well. My favorite thing was that I like menthol in every juice I vape so I would fill the CE2 with my fav menthol then drip on top of that. All my juices were perfectly mentholated and there was no residual flavor left in the atty to keep me form changing flavors frequently, even with the juices that I have a dedicated atty for. Even thought the CE3s are looking quite promising to solve the problems CE2s have I'll probably still keep a few in my arsenal for dripping, unless someone starts selling attys 5 for $11.00 lol.
