couple of questions

Hi all, new to this and just bought an e-go twist and some ce4 clearomizers. The clearomizers have an off taste( plastic, chemical). Do they need to be cleaned before using?
What would you recommend for an easy set-up? Something I can take to work and not be fiddling with it all day.

Is the off-taste like a burnt kind of taste?

Wash the clearomizers with hot soap water (or some people have success using a vinegar solution) then let dry. Use as your normally would.

As for an easy setup, something like an iTaste VTR or iTaste MVP would certainly give you all-day vaping without hassle, but it really depends on the design of the device you feel is convenient.

Yes I recommend that you wash them first to get any manufacturing gunk off of them.

Does it taste fine for the first hit or two, then get plasticky?

Might be using a juice too thick for the clearo, or hitting it too hard. The juice can't wick to the coils as fast as you're vaporizing it off, a common problem with these clearos. Slow down or add a drop of distilled water to the tank after filling to thin it out a touch.

For fiddle-free vaping, go with a Kanger tank (Evod, Protank, Unitank, etc.) They work amazingly well, minimal fuss, and rebuildable.

Thanks all, not a burnt flavor more like a chemical. Right from the first puff. Have washed one and it seems better, will give another one a good soak and see what happens.

Cleaning the tanks before use is highly recommended...

It's also possible that your juice is eating away at the plastic of the CE. Some juices do that, and the only way to avoid it is to move to a glass topper. The "plastic" taste you cite sounds like that, to me. Look around ECF for lists of juices that "crack" tanks.

I agree with david. It sounds like your juice might not agree with plastic tanks. Citrus, banana, and cinnamon flavors are known to degrade plastic. I even had a banana flavor melt the drip tip on a ce4 before i knew they were bad for plastic tanks. If you're not using those types of juice it may be manufacturer's oils and residue. I was a hardcore ce4 user when i first started but now that ive tried a lot of other tanks i highly suggest the EVOD tank. replaceable heads, bottom coil so no dry hits, looks great on an EGO and theyre the same price as the ce4 clearos. Good luck

If your juice is new and made fairly recently, it could be that, too. I remove the caps and let them sit in a safe place a couple days. Away from kids and pets. But yes, a rinse out of a clearo is never a bad idea. Personally, I prefer the pyrex tanks. They don't do this.
