CE4 Clearomisers not working (no airflow) when attached onto battery/mod

[Jakey]

Hi everyone,

I have recently purchased two ce4 type clearomisers but one of the two had problems vaping when attached onto a mod. I used an evic and an ego-style battery to test the connection but both had the same problem - whenever attached onto the mod/battery, there will be a full blockage of airflow, no matter how hard I suck or blow, I can't get air to flow through. I have dismantled it, stared at it and push/pull anything I could referring to the help pages on the internet but with no avail. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

You can try not to screw it all the way down and check if that works

A fellow vaper had a similar issue and the vape group we are in offered a lot of suggestions, but none were successful. It was labeled with Chinese manufacturing, sometimes you get a bad one.

Thanks moijamie, did that as well and managed to get some air to flow only when I reached almost to the top as it is about to fall off, and at that point, certainly no current flow to the clearomiser. Thanks for that suggestion though.

I've had that problem with some clearos too, and used a short 510 extension adapter so air could get around the ego base. If you have any old 510 batteries, try screwing it on to one of them to see if that's the problem.

Yes I suspected so. Just trying my luck here . Thanks TattooedSkin.

Thanks, I might want to source for one from friends and see if that works.

I did google this issue and read from some website that one solution might be from the cutting of the rubber cap connecting to the wick by 1-2mm to encourage airflow. Did that but still didn't work.

In a pinch, you could file a slot in the base of the clearo to get airflow or drill a hole into it. Whatever works to get your clearo going and keep vapin'. Good luck!

That actually increases the juice flow, so once it's working you may get a little flooding. If so, swap the cap from another.

Haha I didn't know that. Thanks!
