Constant problems with clearomizers, could it be old batteries?

I run nightmares through my Kanger T2's for what its worth - 100% VG and Want2Vape tobaccos among others. What I DON'T run through them however are highly acidic fruits or cinnamon. Much better to use a glass tank if you're into those for two reasons - plastic tanks crack, and I personally would worry about inhaling stuff that may have been privy to the plastic leaching into them.

I'm more impressed with the nearly two years of use of the 650mAh batteries and pass-thru.

I have a 650 I bought in May that is already showing signs of decline.

There's a lot of variation in the quality, and how it is treated can have a big affect too. A lot of people think that it's still necessary to completely flatten a rechargeable battery before charging, but with Lithium batteries nothing could be further from the the truth:

Have a look at table 2, number of life cycles as a function of depth of discharge. It's better to put a battery on charge when you get home instead of continue to vape on it, and it's better to not flatten a battery until the electronics turns it off.

My wife kills phone batteries in 6 months - she always run them flat. I had a phone battery I used for about a decade, simply because I gave it a short charge every night.

This YouTube video showed me a trick I didn't know you could do with the CE4.

I wasn't aware that the plastic cap came off so you can actually see the coil heat-up inside. Pretty cool.
