Hello, I have attempted to clean some CE4 clearos I have, I just rinsed with hot water, let dry, and then filled with e juice. I even let it sit for a few minutes and made sure the wick was soaked, when I go to take the first drag I have a number of issues. Sometimes its hard to draw, it will gurgle some times, and there is little to no vapor at all no matter what I do, I have no idea what the issue could be, any help?

Take the clearo off your mod, and put a paper towel under it. Bow through it a few times to get rid of the gurgeling. Try it again and let us know.
Water will dilute the juice so if the wick is still saturated with water it may take quite a few attempt to get it to vape. Keep trying and let us know.

How long did you let them dry? It sounds like the wicks may still have water in them. I usually let mine dry for a couple of days, but I know some people like to use them right away and just vape through it until they start working right.
I tried blowing, nothing. There is minimal amount of water left, its still pretty hard to draw on it as well. Its all three tanks, they are pretty new. I just cleaned to get a flavor out and to practice.
How dirty is the coil? If you use a juice that crusts up the coil, just washing it out won't really bring it back to life. You may have to dry burn and possibly pick hard burnt on stuff off the coil if it's bad enough.
I agree with Bookworm. The wick is still wet with water. If you let them dry completely before refilling, you should resove the problem.
Shouldnt be dirty at all, I literally filled them only once before doing this. About the whole water issue, if the wicks are wet, and then I add juice, my logic was it would all mix together anyways so the wicks wouldnt be "wet" just a little e juice and water mixed, it makes that big of a difference?
Asw far as air draw I have a Vivi tank that is collecting dust because I cant figure out why it's doing it. I have tried several differnt heads with no luck. When I take the head out I get good draw, with almost nothing.
Are all your tanks having an air draw problem?
Oops, just read it again. You said all three are hard to draw. I assume all three were working fine before you cleaned them. hmmm

Water boils at 212 F and the temp of the wick can not rise above 212 until the water has boiled off. My understanding is that PG/VG boil and vaporize at a much higher temp. Until the water is gone, the wick won't get hot enough to produce a good vape.
ya have to remove the atomizer and dry burn the junk...just rinsing the tank or wink won't do it....and for $1.29 U can buy brand new CE4's at fasttec.com, so why bother cleaning them..

Ce5's are about $1 more to buy.
They come completely apart to clean
The wick/coils can be swapped/replaced
Cleaning AND Drying can be done in under 5 minutes
Will last 100 times longer than a Ce4 with proper care
So................Why is anyone still using Ce4?
Ce4 - Empty - Rinse with HOT water, rinse again and again
Install Cap and Blow out to remove water from Tube and a little from wick
Remove Cap and set aside for a few days
Better yet, pick up a few Evods

Because some of us, like me, bought the ones that were available at the time.
I have 15+ CE4's and if I had known then what I knew now I would have bought rebuildables.
Sometimes I have to dry them for a few days, but if I am in a hurry (like before I knew about CE5's)
I use a hair dryer on LOW or COOL!
I also rinse with vodka before I dry burn them, it burns off faster.
That video is a great tool for anyone with CE4 Clearos....
Good luck!
CE5 is exact same as CE4...except U can change out the atomizer/wick/coil for $2 on a CE5...but U can buy a new CE4 for $1.29, and clean it free as my video earlier shows....rather spend $1.29 for whole new CE4 (tank, tip and atomizer/coil/wick) .. than $2 for ONLY a CE5 replacement atomizer coil/wick...

Trust me, I know this now. I ordered a bunch of Evods, I have a few already and they have been great.
