So 30+ days analog free I have spent much time energy and money into finding and messing around with various setups.

I came across clearomizers the other day and they seemed promising. I am speaking specifically of the Vision EGO Stardust. They look like this: Hold 1.6ml juice

So i purchased one for my 510 Thread battery and ran into issues. 1st issue it had a crazy hard draw to the point I thought my head would explode. Found out although my battery is a 510 thread (volcano inferno) It needed a 510 adapter (I guess 510 to 510) Problem solved.. Loose draw.

Next problem, although it vaped I was getting dry hits consistently, and then the hits I was getting were basically flavorless. 2 Days back and fourth wasting a lot of juice I jumped on the forums.

Now there is lots of info on what to do... Involving pulling it apart, lubing the pieces, fraying the wicks etc. etc. And I read all of the How - to's.

I then proceeded to pull apart my clearomizer last night using bits and pieces of knowledge that I picked up...allow me to give a straight forward instructional of what I did and the results (which were spectacular)

1. The bottom metal piece that connects to the battery, pull the ring off. I took pliers, gripped it from the ring and yanked it. Came right off with a little force.

2. I screwed it on my battery and pull the plastic tube surrounding OFF. (whats left is the atomizer wicks etc all the insides attached the the battery)

3. I twisted it off the battery and laid it on a napkin.

4. I separated the wicks (yes, they were all twirled together I un-twirled them to let them hang freely separated) and begin to fray the bottoms a little with a scissor. Not cutting them, but fraying, rubbing against the bottom like one would shave with a straight edge.

5. There is a little plastic "cup" thing at the top that goes on top of the wick and the atomizer. I pulled that off and cut two notches in it, and put it back on (so where the notches are placed over where the wick is)

6. I put the plastic tubing back around everything, placed the bottom metal ring back on and attached it to my battery.

7. Filled it up with 1.6ml of e-juice

8. Screwed the top back on and proceed to vape.

9. WOW. Flavor! Massive amounts of vapor!

Why the manufacturer doesn't create them like this is BEYOND me. But I have been puffing away on this thing since with total flavor and vapor production. I love it!

Hope this helps somebody.

Yeah,

Myself as well as a few other members have posted how to fix the wicking issue with clearomizers, which results in dry/plasticy hits. There is a thread a few posts below this and a few below that about the same issue...lol its a common problem.

In fact, this fix really could use a sticky.

The only thing you have to do is just remove the plastic cap above the atty cup completely or notch it if you are using a tank clearomizer. The CE2 that i'm using I can just remove the plastic cap completely.

I've yet to try this on my new rebuildable Vision clearos. They seem to wick just fine even at 4.2 - 4.4 volts (2.8 head), at least for four or five vapes. After that, my brain's usually had enough nicotine, anyway, so it's sort of an auto-limiting nic intake :) It's ready to go after a few minutes.

I removed the metal cone from under the silicone cap. This has greatly improved wicking/air flow. No leaks. Something easy to try.
