Im loving my vision v3 clearo. I just changed the flavor tonight from bobas bounty to pg hype disassembled super easy unscrew and rinse and wipe dry and refill no hint of other flavor what a wonderful vape. I'm so not into cartomizers anymore now, I guess till I get a tank. Right now I am happy with it and totally satisfied. Totally changed all taste. Day 2 on the clearomizer

He's talking about the V3 Stardust. I don't recommend them if you want to be frugal. Even though they come apart now and can be rebuilt they crack A LOT. You drop it (and you will) it cracks. You put it in your pocket for a minute, it cracks. Top, or bottom, it will crack. They say they don't crack and I'm sure people will try to argue with me about it but they crack. That's why they sell replacement tanks for it. Why sell replacement tanks for something that never cracks unless... you guessed it... it cracks.

On top of that, if you vape them for too long of a burn the center post cooks your juice and ruins it (as evidenced by the much darker juice that always remains at the bottom of your tank no matter how much you top it off), and the coils are very sensitive and over time they will come together and create what is known as "hot spots" which gives you "dry hits" and basically spells doom for the system. On top of all that, they leak if you turn them at anything more than a 90 degree angle. If you overfill them, they can also leak into your battery's juice well when you have a crack building back pressure pushing it down (which is inevitable).

INSTEAD, I recommend the Vision Vivi Nova, the big sister of the Stardust. It holds more than twice as much juice, and although it costs 3 times as much (about 14-15 bucks for the tank system) it comes with 3 atomizer heads (the important part) so it's like getting 3 stardusts anyway. They are easier to take apart and clean because they are bigger, easier to fill, and also quite rebuildable. Another feature that they have that the Stardust does not is the option to buy (for a few bucks) a metal tank for it - which makes it invincible to cracking or damage, and also serves as a standoff weapon (danged hobos, you never know when they'll strike!). SO, that's MY recommendation. If you would like to learn more about them please refer to the following channel: Vaping Estarra - YouTube and do a channel search for the Stardust and the Vivi Nova and make the comparison yourself if you wish. He also shows you how to rebuild both models of clearomizer. The only things that the Stardust beats the Vivi Nova on is compact size, and looks, but only one of those is functional (hint: compact size).

yes I'm new and just trying new things but so far I take care of this thing and it is not cracked yet two days which is not much. This is not the stardust which is some company logo but the same thing I would bet, but also totally rebuild-able. I want to try the vivi nova too and I'm sure I will like that also. I'm just amazed at how good things taste when they are not getting burnt like a carto sometimes on over use like I did. I'm sure there are much better delivery systems and gonna try em all but for $4.95 a clearo who cares. the the heads are $1.79 and the tube replacements $1.99 The taste is wonderful.

No problem. Hey spurlock97. Altsmoke is in ohio just like me and you and if you order from them there will be state tax added to your order. HOWEVER, there are two positives to ordering from them. Potentially decreased delivery time (since it has less distance to travel - this did not prove the case for me however as they sent it across the state before zipping around to me), and they have some of the lowest shipping costs I have seen in the business which you may find offsets the tax on lower priced orders. Compare them to another vendor just to see what your best move will be.

If you do go with altsmoke the coupon code "FACE10LIKE" is a ONE TIME code (use it wisely!) that will net you 10% off the cost of your order. You have to make sure you are logged in to get it though. Whoever you decide to go with, do double check them against altsmoke (with coupon codes and shipping calculated) and make sure you look up a coupon code for any vendor here on ECF (or on google if that fails) before you commit to the order.

Thank you ShogaNinja for the great review of the Vision Viva Nova and links. I was wondering why my juice was always getting dark. Cant say I had any real problems in 53 smoke free days with my Vision v2 long wick but I am looking for more capacity.

i purchased the vision ego clear-o-miser from litecig. I love it. It is now my new favorite. I also ordered the flat replacement mouthpiece..which I prefer to the round that comes with the clearo. The flat mouthpiece with the clear-o-miser seems to outperform the ego-c on all levels (but I have not replaced the atty head in a few weeks. I also tried the rebuildable vision. (not from litecig) I have had problems ..first burnt flavor untill I raised the silcone cap a bit and loosened the mouthpiece. Now that the flavor issue has been solved, the atty head loosens frequently and I have to take the unit apart to screw it back on...messy!

long story short..yes..good choice in clear-o-miser and vendor :D

Sho has it right Vivi Nova 2.5 (not 2) or Vivi mini. The mini is cheaper and only comes with one head. You can run over one with a truck and no leaks... almost... I love them... BUT KNOW they mute your juice flavor--maybe just a little... maybe a lot if it's high VG/light flavor... I've used mine for 13 days massive vaping and tossed 1 head in the trash -- heads can be cleaned and are $3.

The rest of the clearo world -- remember this well -- is a money pit of bad QC. One stardust may last 3 days, the next be leaky crap and in the trash in 2 min. One box of Flumomizers/bottom coils may be the best thing ever, the next box might be flawed and broken junk and in the trash in an hour. Clearos are fun to play with in small orders if you have a solid go to back-up like the vivi/tank system you like/solid cartomizers (Carto--not clearo). Clearos can make you happy one day then poor and angry the next.
