At first I loved it. But it was just ONE. The flavor, the vape...ohh so good. But then I opened up number 2, then 3, then 4. What is going on. Dry, burnt and number 5 didn't work. I tried the tips on YouTube to no avail. It helped one but led to leaking and fiddling with the others. And then the only one that vaped well popped out of nowhere. Hmmm that was odd. Then the only other good tasting one popped in my pocket. Must have bumped the button when I got in my car. So out of 5 none are usable. Back to the leakamizers it is. I can deal with a minor leak here and there but not happy at all with the ce3 nor do I want to try anymore of them. Too touchy, too fragile (coil) and inconsistent.
Changed my mind. Do not like these ce3's :(

I've had the same bad luck with clearomizers. Also, lack of flavor and throat hit for me with them. Sometimes you get one that is real good, but more times than not they aren't so great.
I am new and about to try these CE3's and was kinda hoping that this does not happen to me.
If not CE3's then what is the next best choice for a clear thing? Its just that I would like to see how much juice is remaining in whatever i am using

I've found that they don't work too well with thick juices and I have had problems using them on a X2.
What works the best for me is SI juice or a juice with the same VG/PG combo on a regular 78mm battery.
Thick juices tend to clog where the coil is and I am now certain the X2 gives off more power than a regular battery.
For me with the above combo they are the best thing I have used so far. I'm still using the same ones in rotation that I bought last month the first day they came on sale and they still perform very well.

Still lovin them!
Over a month of use now with only one failure. Once or twice a week...Clean-dry burn-good a new.
For me, with really thick juices a drop or two H2O solves the wicking problem.
Not only have these provided the best vape by far, but due to their longevity they have turend out to be a real bargain.
I'm going to order more when they get back into stock.

I have only used a couple. I use them to test new flavors on my big battery mods with a 510-808 adaptor. It saves me from devoting an entire cartomizer to test out just one flavor. If I don't enjoy a new flavor, I empty it and do a water rinse, and try another flavor. I like the fact that their capacity is on the small size, and that they are cheap enough that if I would need to throw one out, I'm not out a lot like I would be with a cartomizer.
The 2 that I've used have worked to my satisfaction. I like the idea that the taste is unadulterated by the wicking material used in a cartomizer and they are reusable.

How long have you had them? Since they have been out of stock since I joined the forum I haven't had a chance to try one. I have heard nothing but good reviews on the CE3s and have been waiting to try them. I do have several of the NEW Clearomizers and 1 out of 6 does leak a little but I can live with that and overall they are 10 times better than any carto I have and I have a bunch.I guess since they are so cheap I will still have to buy some when they are available again but I wonder if the new ones will be any different than the previous ones? Anybody know?
I am really hoping I do not have this issue. I have been holding off on ordering till these come back in stock. I was looking at ce3's to minimize the use of cartos.
If they work as advertised, then they are exactly what I want in a delivery system.

Oh man. I bought 5 of these 3-4 weeks ago. Yanked the posts up. I have used SI liquid in them. STill trying to like my 0 nic grape from them.
30/70 liquid.
100 VG.
Everything works fine. I clean them when I feel like it. Some of the VG is too thick. I can't use the VG from one vendor it is molasses. The VG from another works fine.
I love these things. They seem very durable to me. They are all scratched on the insides and outside. The needle and tweezers have them pretty tore up. My posts are all crooked in them. I left two of them turned upside down last night so the fill up of juice would mix with the thicker juice at the wick.
Knock on wood I don't have issues. I love these things though. Hopefully SI will come oout with their version soon. Specially the 3 ml one.

I still like the CE3's a ton more than cartomizers & a good bit more than SI's X2 clearos. however, they can be inexplicably inconsistent at times. I'll buy more when SI restocks. I've noticed lately when refilling that if I don't quite fill it all the way up, like the orange line on the SI instructions recommends, they are ready to vape faster than when I fill them completely. also I'm gonna add a drop or two of water to the thicker juices & see if that helps.
Our new exclusive version should be shipping on the 23rd... should eliminate all of these issues 
Now that is what I am waiting for !Our new exclusive version should be shipping on the 23rd... should eliminate all of these issues
Got tired of the leaking temramental CE3 ,went back to SI Cartomizers which I liked better than the CE3.
Now if the leaking problem is solved these new ones from SI will be the bees knees !
The CE3s are great, when they work, no question about it. They do seem to be having problems with burnt taste and dry hits, especially with thick liquids which do need to be thinned or the center post/air tube can be raised slightly. I have a total of ten from the first batch. So far I've opened and used seven. Four are working perfectly and I clean them every third fill even though I use the same liquid in them. One had the burned flavor out of the box, one leaked out of the box and one just quit on me yesterday, apparently an open coil. I'm hoping these will last until the newer version that can be filled without a syringe comes out, but if they don't I won't hesitate to order more of these because they are so good, overall. My opinion, worth what it costs, your results may vary.

Out of the four delivery systems I've tried (cartos, clearos, ce3's, and dripping), the ce3's are my favorite. They still have their drawbacks, like requiring a syringe and occasionally burning high VG liquids, but I don't have to fiddle around with them nearly as much as the others. I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with them. Hopefully the new version coming out works better for everyone.
i can honestly say i have not had any of the problems that everybody has complained about these ce3s.
i do know that my manuals will give them a burnt taste,no problem,i don't like the manuals any way.
I started with 10 and i am still using 10,,,maybe i am just lucky about these little jewels,i love them.

That's very nice to read. I am really looking forward to switching to these from cartos and I was starting to get a little nervous about it.
i should have mentioned i bought 3 boxes of them,,but have no reason to open the third box.

Haha, that's also very nice to hear because that was how many I was going to order.
