clearomizer quality control

[Secti0n31]

I like them too. I'd buy them by the 100 if they didn't leak so much. 2.8ohm is perfect for the ego/riva type batteries and the taste can't be beat on 3.7v. People don't realize that THEY DON'T WORK WELL ON HV!!! If you have a 5-6v mod and you're vaping normally, the ce2 won't work for you all that well. The 3.2ohm will help, but not all that much.

There are ways to tweak it, but if you expect them to work right out of the box (with anything, not just a HV PV) you're gonna be dissapointed. All of mine have required some kind of tweak, and still are far from perfect. I'd love to get a box of 5 where all 5 'just worked'.

Still, not ideal for HV unless you use 3.2 in some kind of tank mod or mod the wick. Also very likely to leak or flood unless stored upright, and even that doesn't always help. All that being said, I STILL LIKE EM!!! They just need work.

I bought some shrink tube, 10mm X 5M ($2.95, lifetime supply) cut about 1/4 - 3/8 in pieces and used them for extra bracing on the top and bottom on the tube. I can still see how full it is, but the ends are strengthened enough that it may outlast the coil FINALLY!!

nice, may try that myself

Actually just putting some normal sticky tape (the strong clear stuff, not that dull weak stuff used to wrap presents) around the base seems to help a lot.

i've been using clearomizers for a month and i gave up and ordered some Metal CE2's. The spinning and falling apart in my hands got to be too much. It looks like I can mod the CE2 metal's with MUCH better luck. The battery base of the clearo's is just too flimsy to never leak.

strengthened enough that it may outlast the coil FINALLY!!

no kidding! the coils can take a licking, but the clear tubes, base and wick are crap.

I believe Gotvapes are getting 'new thicker replacement tubes' soon. Don't know what they will be like though. They also said they had check with the manufacturer and there is no toxin leaching somewhere in their long thread.

I checked with the manufacturer, too, and was told that if I was concerned about BPA I should stick to the metal CE2s. Again, I'm not saying there's definitely leaching, only that it seems very likely. And If there is leaching, I'm not saying it's at dangerous levels, only that we don't know.

Pretty sure I saw replacement tubes for sale at Volcano last night.

Also Health Cabin has the new v5 in stock in all colors.
