Clearomiser questiions

[Lewis]

I'm shopping for replacement/spare clearomisers and I have a couple of questions.

1) They come in two types: 2.1-2.4 ohms and 2.5-2.9. What does this mean and what is the difference between the two?

2) How do I clean a clearomiser? Presumably it needs to be dismantled somehow in order to clean it out but I can't find how to do this aside from removing the mouthpiece. Is there a way to remove the metal part in the middle?

IMHO, the best clearomizers are the ones that are easy to disassemble (completely) for cleaning and replacement of the atomizer head. The two I use and am familiar with are the Vivi Nova 2.5 and the Vision 2.0.

The numbers you mentioned are resistance values. This is an electrical characteristic and should be used to get a better match to your PV. For example: an EGO PV that provides a fixed 3.4V generally works better with a 2.0-2.5 ohm juice device. A fixed voltage PV like the KGO will work better with 2.5 ohms or so. A variable voltage PV will let you match the voltage to the resistance value you are using.

The lower the Ohms, the Hotter the Carto/Atty works. Think of it like a 100 watt light bulb verses a 60 watt light bulb.

A hotter Carto gives more Flavor and Vapor to a point. But if it runs too Hot, your e-liquid will taste Burnt.

There are many ways to Clean a Clearomizer. Try doing a ECF search with these two words included. "Dry Burn"

The first answer is easy that is the resistance. This means you can use more power as the numbers of the resistance goes up. This gives you a way to optimize the flavor from your juice and also increase vapor throat hit ect...
The second Question I cant really answer Clearomizer can cover so many types with out knowing which specific one Cant give you any advice other than almost all of them can be disassembled by unscrewing, or gently prying apart and using alcohol to clean.

Mine came as part of a kit with an Ego-T battery, from a local shop so I don't know for certain what it is, but it looks the same as the Vision 2.0, based on photos I've seen online. But I'm still at a loss as to how to disassemble it. Do I need to buy special tools?

um, what's a PV and how do I know what the voltage is?

A PV is essentially the battery you connect the clearomizer to.

The Vision 2.0 can be completely dissembled by unscrewing the drip tip, unscrewing the base on the bottom of the clearomizer, then unscrewing the atomizer head (the top piece on the center tube. No tools needed.

PV= personal vaporizer/ Ecig. The V2 stardusts are hard to take apart and you need to buy separate coil and wicking. The newer Stardusts are easy to rebuild and the wicking and coils are sold A's a complete unit- just unscrew the bottom, remove old coil and replace with new coil.

Careful with the "V" numbers! A lot of places are calling the rebuildable clearos "V3". Not all V2s are rebuildable, unless you want to forcefully disassemble them and put in your own wick and wind your own coils.

Vison (aka Stardust) has really confused people by coming out with the short wick (V1), long wick (V2) and now the rebuildable ones (offering both short AND long wicks!!!) ALL in a very very short time. It's a serious disservice to the consumer.

The rebuildable clearos can be found on the Health Cabin and GotVapes sites, among others.

That's very useful - thanks!

 

[Lewis]

hmm therefore mine appears to be not dismantle-able. No matter what I do the base will not unscrew. It has short wicks so it muct be a V1.

Does this therefore mean I can't clean it? Can the whole thing (coil and all) be immersed in water or will that ruin the atomiser?

For a quick easy clean remove the tip and with a syringe fill it with water put finger over top and shake, empty then, repeat until liquid coming out is clean. (4-5 times) Leave it to dry for about 24 hours or if you need to use immediately, you can dry burn it or just refill and vape through the water on the wick. Use distilled water if you have it.

There are many U Tube videos on doing this if that would help you more.
