Clearomizers last how long???

[batgurl]

I bought some clearomizers from TW and I really like these things. Problem is glass isnt as fragile so I had to re-tube them. Now Id like to know how long these things usually last after they have been re-tubed or if someone has never had them crack. Ive had them for a month but I have not used them for a month because I was so scared to. Then I re-tubed them. Id actually like to purchase more of these things and re tube them if the life span is good.

I lost most of my first batch because I was overtightening them -- I didn't realize the tube was spinning on the base and twisted them so far that the wires inside broke.

I lost another one in my next set of 5 because of a stupid mistake. I retired a couple more because although they were working fine, the tube clouded up.

I've never lost one because it just plain quit.

I still have one of my first batch from March(?). It probably gets used only once or twice a week because of the way I rotate my cartos.

I think the key to them is to keep the gunk burned off the coil. Those who use manual batteries can just do a dry-burn. I can't use manuals, so I built a little circuit to feed 2V through them. I let them sit that way for about an hour and then flush the gunk off with a stream of alcohol.

Since the wicks don't burn, the clearos can only die from tube failure or coil breakage.

I replace the original tube and I have 3 that I've been rotating for over 3 months. They still preform like new with regular cleaning. I don't see them fading any time soon unless I get to happy with a dry burn.

My clearomizers have lasted a long time.
I just keep changing the cracked tubes.

Planning on ordering some steelomizers.

 

[batgurl]

where do you get those from?

 

[Nomoreash]

Most places that have the clearos also carry the steel ones. Vapor Junction, Clouds of Vapor and GotVapes are some among others. They are great and less hassle if you don't want to replace the tube or see your juice. They are also harder to take apart for cleaning.

Oh. I see. I do like seeing the liquid. But thanks for info.
