I am new at vaping, 3 months now. Been using CE4 clearomizers>
They last 2-3 weeks, should I be using something better with the ego battery?

If you like the vape, stick with it.
Personally, I prefer the bottom wicking models like the EVOD, T3 or MT3.
These give a nice vape without the burned taste I got from the CE5 units.
Replacement heads are still very cheap, check Vapingme or Sun vapers for excellent price and service.
For non-twist eGo batteries, you may find the lower resistance 1.8 ohm versions produce more vapor. I prefer them on my non-twist eGo batteries.
On the eGo twist batteries, it doesn't much matter, because I change the voltage output to match.
Of course, taste and vapor quality are up to personal preference. Try it and see what you think.

Not a big fan of the CE4s. I use Kanger T2 mostly and have a Protank and a couple all metal Vivi Novas for my cinnamon, licorice and other pp destroying liquids. Also love the Iclear 30.
papillon822, my 4-th ProTank arrived yesterday - the main reason I using those - made of glass (Pyrex) and metall - more suitable environment to boil liquid comparing to plastic devices.
Clearomizers on an Ego battery are a nice setup. You may want additional options, but that will depend on how much you like to do a little trial and error and spend some money doing so. For many of us here on ECF, vaping has become a hobby, not just a way to stop smoking. Most vapers are pretty happy with a good CE4/Ego setup and need no more, but you are entering into the world of enthusiasts!
If you want to stay with the slim profile to match the Ego, the Mini Vivi Nova is a higher capacity form of the CE4 with replaceable coil heads, so ongoing costs are less. Another similar candidate is the Kanger T2, also a top coil clearo like your CE4. The Kanger Evod is also slim, but has a bottom coil.
I wouldn't recommend using a bigger diameter tank like the standard Vivi Nova or Kanger Protank on your Ego battery as that setup becomes topheavy and isn't as easy to carry in your pocket. If at some point you choose to get a bigger diameter battery device, referred to here as a mod or APV, then bigger diameter delivery devices fit well.
If you get interested in adding some choices, it may be a good idea to set a budget on purchases. There are so many options available and so many new things coming out that it's easy to get carried away! Good luck!

I have some CE6's and iClear 16's, and they both function well and have handy replacement heads at a reasonable price. I prefer bottom coil devices, but when I'm in the mood for a warm vape, these work nicely. As was menthioned earlier - if you are happy with it, stick with it.
The Iclear 16 is nice. Better vapor production than a CE4 in my opinion. Still keeps that slim profile. I using one now. I like the viva Nova and the mini viva nova too. Massive vapor production. Haven't tried any kanger tanks yet but I hear great things about them.
I think it refers to Polypropylene, but it may have gotten mixed up with Polycarbonate which certain juices will degrade and crack. Polypropylene can tolerate these juices much better. I don't want to put words into the mouth of the original poster, so please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Can I quote
"Clearomizers on an Ego battery are a nice setup"
I couldn't agree more. I use clearos 99% of the time on either a plain ego (Riva), a VV ego (Spinner) or a big beast with an 18650 battery.
If you get 2-3 weeks, that is really, really good. I managed to wipe out CE4s in sometimes hours (not even days) with dry hits, burnt tastes, gunked up coils, all the nasty stuff. Then I got into rebuildable clearomisers (not like a proper "rebuildable atomizer") but when you can take the clearo apart to either replace the atomizer head and/or dry-burn the coil.
I like the Mini Vivi Nova and the Evod the best. I also have a Kanger Protank for home use. I have one iClear16 (Innokin) which is kind of good, but like Vision V3s, I do get a little juice sometimes in the drip tip. The Evods are bottom coil, so you get a nice vape on them, but they do get a little gurgling at times....it's a cost of the system I guess.
I'd rather replace a coil for $2 or make another coil for 30c (not sure on those costs, I do English £) rather than spend $6 on a complete unit. But if you get 2-3-weeks, either way, it's not much money.

In the minority I'm sure, but I have not had much luck with the Vivi Nova's. I think the CE6 is easier to fill than the CE4 and I've really started liking the EVOD and DCT. Reading these forums gives me a bad case of the gotta, wanna needa's. But I'm happy and not even wanting to smoke so I guess life is good.....
I use Mini Novas and Evods for Citrus (10+ flavours) and Cinnamon (Vermillion River etc.) and never had a problem.
Depends entirely on the juice, the exact flavour concentrate and the strength (presumably). I have had one flavour of Lemon/grapefruit/lime in an iClear now for over 3 months. It's always full and is always in my vape case.
My homemade Citrus is in a Protank......see, even I am a bit paranoid!
If you like the CE4 Clearos then I'd try the Vision brand Mini Vivi Nova. Been using the same tanks for 10+ months and the heads are lasting for 10+ weeks. They still fire great but the wicks begin to degrade.
1st Rule of Vaping: Never try something New unless you have At Least a 2 Weeks Supply of Something you Know Works.
Of you have a bunch of CE4's to fall back on, then Sure, by all means Try something Else.
BTW - You did know that be asking the Question you did that you would get suggestions for Every Type of Atty, Carto and Cearo. Right?

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Again I am new at vaping and purchased a 6 month supply of CE4 before I left Florida to return to Canada. I will use these and may try something new while I still have a good back up supply. Thanks again for all the inputs.
I use the ce4's on my Vamo and I like them. I like the vape, the draw and the ease of use. Now I do have some dct's and vivi nova's in different sizes on the way. Not sure how I'm gonna feel about them, but if I never have anything other than the ce4, I'd still be happy.
I like my CE5's which is basically a CE4 with a replaceable coil. Easy to fill and I've had minimal issues with wicking / leaking that some have had. I also like the mini nova metal (another top coil)
That said, I also like my t3 and EVOD and my pro-tank. I've had some leaking from the T3, but that was my fault as I pulled part of the wick out during cleaning.
My go to device is still my spinner and a CE5 (with hawk sauce from MBV) A few people mention the taste being inferior on the CE5 and that you have to swirl / tilt the PV to wet the wicks, but I can't see much difference in the flavor between all my devices and I like to mess with my PV anyway as I used to with analogues.
Good advice on this thread, before you try something new, make sure you have something as a backup that you know works and know you like - and set a budget... back away from the cart...
