CE4 Clearomizer Troubles

[chemd36]

hey ECF,

I just washed a barely used CE4 in order to swap different juices. I thought I dry burned it correctly, however, after filling it up with juice, the clearomizer isn't producing any vapor. Any tips? Thanks..

I've been using carto-tanks and seem to prefer those, however, I only have 1 tank so can't swap out the flavors readily.

Sounds like there is still water left in the wick, you may have to let it sit awhile. They are just too hard to clean and dry quickly. You may want to try the ones that come apart I think they are called ce5 nowadays. I use the vivi nova and they are a cinch to clean and refill.

Fill it with juice and vape it for 1 second inhales every 10 seconds.

Thanks, you are probably right the wicks are probably still wet. I've been wanting to get the vivi novas a try.

Personally, I don't dry burn them. I don't dry burn anything. I took a VVN apart to switch out juices the other day, only to discover I didn't have another head. I rinsed the one I'd been using under the faucet, patted it somewhat dry and put in back in the tank. The flavor was more muted than usual and there wasn't much vapor, but after about 5 minutes of vaping it was fine.

Dry/wet burning helps I only use about 1 head for each vivi every 6weeks or so. I bought a bunch of the ones with short wicks quite cheap so am recoiling all of them. They work like new after a dryburn.

I just tried the 1 second inhales for 10 seconds and I'm still not getting any vapor.

I have cleaned several CE4s in the last few weeks. I have not dry burned them, the first couple of times I left them to dry over night and they were fine. The ones I cleaned today - I didn't want to wait as long so I tried using a blow dryer on cool for a few minutes and then left them for a couple of hours and they were fine.

I also cleaned my Vivi Nova for the first time and I did do the dry burn (was very nervous) but it worked and so far it is working good.

I did not find dryburning worked well on the ce4 types I had. They are more disposable than usable. The only thing I could suggest would be to rewash it and let dry overnight and try again. It may or may not work. One thing I have found is to have a good syringe on hand to suction juice out of these type clearos when you need to.

That just burns away the water, gotta let the juice seep in now........

CE4s can be torn down pretty easily without any damage. Would allow for more thorough cleaning.
