hey all,
how many different clearomizers are out there so far? I only know of ce2, ce2 r5 and ce3
which ones are the ones that I should stay away from?
could you give the full name and from which vendor I should buy it from? (cheap vendors)
I heard that theres a ce4 coming out soon..is that true?
there are r5s and other ce2 moderations. such as the ce2 r5s. are those good? any better than the ce3s?
does the ce3s have any moderations? ex: ce3 r5 lol.
and what is the ce2 r5? how is it better than the regular ce2s?
these clearomizers/fluxomizers really confuse me. I know alot of people tend to stay away from the clearomizers because they tend to have burnt or no taste. but others have said that those were the original ones when they first came out. now with all these different and altered clearomizers there would be more applicable to the vaping world right?
The reason why im looking into buying clearomizers is because I only use cartomizers.
And so far, dual coils have no lifespan. After 3 refills they will die and they dont use up all the juice. (the polyfill contains alot of juice even when it looks bone dry and crisp white)
I decided that I dont like cartomizers that have polyfill.
However, the g4 cartomizers have had a notorious wellreputation in the vapeworld.
there used to be a g5 510 carto but they stopped selling them since they suck as well.
there are only kr808d g5s sold at nhaler..
I only use 510 connection also. Almost forgot that important factor has.

so yeah, please tell me all the different variations of clearomizers/fluxomizers, which ones to stay away from and how each differs from the other. which vendor sells it the cheapest and how to clean them. hows the lifespan on these also? can i refill it with the same juice 3 times and then clean them to fill it up with another juice and be fine?
thanks alot in advance. kamehame-lata

"how many different clearomizers are out there so far? I only know of ce2, ce2 r5 and ce3"

That's basically it although the CE2 has went through many revisions which is the r5 in your quote. I think they've had so many they've stopped putting the revision number on them.

"which ones are the ones that I should stay away from?"

In the clearos I would only recommend the latest revision. These are the ones just hitting stores and have the thicker tubes available in different colors, previous version had tubes that cracked quickly or came in the box cracked.

"could you give the full name and from which vendor I should buy it from?"

Gotvapes is the only vendor I know of right now that has the newest edition clearomizers in. As of now I would stick with them although more should be getting them in as time goes by.

"I heard that theres a ce4 coming out soon..is that true?"

I haven't heard anything about a CE4. The CE3 is just hitting stores and not a whole lot of feedback on it yet. The main difference is the CE2 has the coil on top, the CE3 has the coil places on the bottom which SHOULD make for a slightly cooler vape on the CE3.

"there are r5s and other ce2 moderations. such as the ce2 r5s. are those good? any better than the ce3s?"

The r designates the revision, I'm guessing the s you put on the end would designate steel. Later is better buy I think they dropped the revision number at r5, the new ones are called Deluxe or something like that.

"does the ce3s have any moderations? ex: ce3 r5 lol."

If you mean revision yes, again that's what the R means, revision, r5 would be a newer revision that r4 but again I think they've dropped the r designation.

"and what is the ce2 r5? how is it better than the regular ce2s?"

It's the same CE2, again just another revision, newer than the r4, r3, etc. Each revision made some changes/improvements.

"these clearomizers/fluxomizers really confuse me. I know alot of people tend to stay away from the clearomizers because they tend to have burnt or no taste. but others have said that those were the original ones when they first came out. now with all these different and altered clearomizers there would be more applicable to the vaping world right?"

Just stick with the latest revision with the thicker tubes and that will solve the confusion, R5, R4, etc are older revisions. The latest has the latest changes/enhancements/tweaks, etc., mainly the better quality tube. I personally love them and the newest release requires less tweaking than any of them so far. Maybe a lift of the seal if it's not wicking properly but wicking is much better and they don't crack or leak.

"The reason why im looking into buying clearomizers is because I only use cartomizers.
And so far, dual coils have no lifespan. After 3 refills they will die and they dont use up all the juice. (the polyfill contains alot of juice even when it looks bone dry and crisp white)"

That's one of the reasons I like them so much easy to clean and reuse with no or little waste, just the liquid that is soaked up by the wicks, the rest of the juice can be completely vaped.

I must say I heard a LOT of trash talk about the clearo V2 rev5. Thus far I've only been through 2 of them but I truly love them!! Something about being able to see what my juice level is...and I have had zero-zip-nada issues with cracking thus far...but I'm not hard on my equipment. The only downside to them is that they like to be kept fairly straight (vertical...never horizontal), but that works well with my sparkplug anyway. So far I like them much better than DCCs or regular cartos. The ones I got are from My Vapor Store and are 2.4 Ohm.

EDIT-you don't have to keep them perfectly vertical...just enough so the juice doesn't get to the mouthpiece end. It's easy to tell...you can see it...lol!

I have a mess of the new Fluxomizer Deluxes from GotVapes. Just got them last night and I haven't had a whole lot of time to get intimately familiar with them yet but I can say this:

1. Right out of the box they didn't wick well for me using "reduced PG" juice from JuicyVapor (which, from the viscosity, looks around 80PG/20VG, which is what I normally vape anyway). I'd get an awesome hit, then a nasty dry hit. Thicker liquid I've tried didn't wick at all until I did point 2.

2. Once I did the seal mod (remove all 3 seals, chuck the bottom seal, fill, flip the middle seal smooth-side-up and place over cup where bottom seal was, put mouthpiece on, vape) it worked fine. Sometimes that center-seal-as-cup-seal has to be adjusted to get it to wick well without leaking, but once it's in the right spot for the thickness of jiuce you're using it's fine.

The thing is, once properly modded, it vapes like absolutely nothing else. Ridiculous clouds of vapor (seriously, it's almost embarrassing), clean, bold flavour, and excellent TH. It is, at least so far, and without a doubt, an obscene vape. But of course as with any vape that produces the kind of clouds that make meteorologists nervous, it's an absolute juice ...... You'll chew through juice about 50% faster than with a straight up carto. Maybe a bit less compared to a DCC.

So, basically, awesome -- if you're willing to play with it. If you're looking for a great out-of-box experience, this hasn't been it for me. But I don't mind a little fiddling if it means the vape is going to be worth the bother, and this definitely is.

And I am still experiencing a little leaking between the cup seal (formerly the center seal) and the mouthpiece, but so far it hasn't effected the vape any -- no mouthful of juice and no flooding of the cup. But I'll have to spend more time to know if this works out in the longer run.

I've used CE2 Clearomizers for about 6 months. I really like them and they work great. Good amount of vapor and flavor. I also like the warmer vape they provide. I get them from gotvapes.com. Their prices are competitive and shipping is reasonable. They just started carrying the Fluxomizer Deluxe CE2's. I've been using them for about a week and they are great. The tubes are thicker and supposedly don't crack or break alleviating one of my biggest gripes about the CE2's.

Gotvapes also caries the G4's - they call them Vortex and they have the new improved ones.

Check out their forum at: GotVapes for information in their clear cartos.

Interesting. I'll be purchasing some of those in the near future to try out!! Thanks for the review!

Actually, I just did this with one of my Clearo CE2 Rev5s...works really well with it as well.

Had to edit...after a couple of toots...can you say "holy freakin' fogbank batman?" :vapor:

Yeah, when these things work, they'll blot out the sun. It's just a problem of getting them to work consistently. The real problem I'm finding is getting that bottom seal out without damaging the insulator at the battery connector by bending the post too much when removing it. I've already caused leaks in two of mine from around the insulator to the extent that they're basically garbage. (I used one to practice disassembly and cleaning on. The other I just binned.) It's a good thing I bought a bunch.

What are you using to remove the seal? I find that an IC puller from a computer tool kit make removing the seals on CE2's easy.

Interesting...the CE2 Rev5s were simple to get the bottom seal out of. Once I removed the tube, I just punched the seal out with an unfolded paper clip...or am I missing something?

Oh, wow. I didn't even think of that, but yeah, those would be perfect. I think I know where to get one around here, too. Thanks for the idea!

I don't know what the seals are like on the Rev5, but these basically have a thick outer wall that goes outside the cup, and a thinner inner wall that makes a bit of a J shape over the lip of the cup. It's wedged in there really tight. If you try and remove the tube with the seal still in place there's a good chance you'll pull the guts out with it.

Yeah I discovered that that last night too, had a broken plastic one with the metal ends, I got half and my buddy got the other. Works a lot better than the paper clip I bent at first.

I also had to fiddle with these. Same thing with the plug and I had 4 out of 5 that would not fire until I fiddled with the center contact on the bottom. That being said and as much as I HATE having to fix something brand new out of the box. I ordered 10 more. They are a fantastic vape when you get them dialed in right.

how do you guys fill your juices with the new deluxes? I dont want to use the syringe method so will just dripping through the little notches on either sides work? will that fill it up without pouring into the cup?
thanks for all the replies, helped clear the air alot.

From my experience with the new ce2 (just got 20 in this week), you will either need to use a syringe or pull out the 2nd inner plug and fill by dripping tilted to avoid the cup. It's sort of a pain to remove the 2nd inner plug (the deluxe seems to have a ridge surrounding the bottom that the v5's did not). I already broke one cup when trying to remove the plug. The 2nd came out fine...

Personally I would rather just fill with a syringe. Unfortunately (and this was the case with the v5's) I seem to always get a burnt taste after awhile, and end up removing the inner plug, to reset it slightly away from the cup. The burnt taste (due to wicking problems) is what almost kills it for me with the fluxomizers. In fact, I ordered 20, used two then put them to the side and I'm using a sapphire hybrid instead. Still dealing with a minor burnt taste, but I figured out how to avoid it with the sapphire... Not so much yet with the Deluxe fluxomizer.

The notches are barely big enough for a needle to go through, so dripping juice through them will not work. If you want to fill directly form a dropper bottle you would have to remove the seals. As an alternative to a syringe you could use a bottle with a Luer-Lock tip - but this still means using a needle.

I got the burnt taste too. I removed the seal that goes around the cup and inserted the middle seal upside down directly on top of the cup. The wicking is great, no more burnt taste and there is noleakage under normal use. If held upside-down for a prolonged period there is some minimal leakage. Unfortunately the middle seal only comes on the XL version, not the shorties.
