Cleaning
Wash the Clearomiser only in warm water. The best way to clean the wicks is to fill the unit half way with warm water, put the top on and then shake vigorously. This method should be repeated 3-4 times until the colour of the wick is as close to white as possible. Leave to dry and re-use.
How to use
To fill the RBC CE5 Clearomizer unscrew the base unit. Hold the clearomizer upside down and fill with approximately 1.8ml of liquid (along the side of the unit, avoiding the air hole). While it is still upside down screw the base back onto the clearomizer. The CE5 RBC is now ready for use. Once the atomizer head on your clearomizer is burnt out, replace with a new atomizer head. To do this, just unscrew the old atomizer from the CE5 RBC's base unit and change over..

For me personally this is just what i needed, perfect hit, better than the cigarette replicas and not to expensive, i've completely quit smoking tobacco since ive bought it aswell!( 16days) the last couple of days i've been getting a sort of burning plastic type vape(not everyhit but alot of them), i've done a bit of research but not sure what it could be, anyhelp would be appreciated as its really putting me off! thanks it says on the website replace atomizer every few weeks, could this be the problem?

Welcome to ECF congrats on the 16 days!

 

[Andywin]

thank you very much

you're getting dry hits. the atomizer isn't getting enough juice to the coils. Try puffing a couple of times on the atomizer without hitting the fire button, then take your puff with power. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum!.

Welcome to the ECF boards. It good to have you aboard.

Honestly, I never did like clearomizers during the short period that I had used them. However, the said kept me off of the nails, until I found a RBA device, which I was comfortable with.

I had the same problem and Mssingeltary is right, try that tactic, I also switched from the cheaper cartomizers to better ones like the MT3, and I clean the battery top often. I saw on LeCig that they have a pyrex one that I think I might try so it doesn't ever get that plastic taste, but it's like $20. I'll probably start looking around to see if there is another pyrex or glass one out there. I found out that the juice tastes better in glass bottles too instead of the plastic ones.

if you are Chain vaping (very common when you first quit smoking), that burnt taste is because the wick is not able to pull juice to the coil area fast enough to keep up with your demand.

Follow the dry pull methods the others above mentioned, but also try to space out your "hits", draw in slower, draw for a second before you hit the fire button and for a second after you hit it, and exhale through your nose (this allows for more nic absorbtion).

 

[FallenRawToast]

p.s. have you changed the coil in the last 16 days???

 

[yuenie]

Try to put more juice...
Or change the coil and try again.

Good luck !

Try a better tank, sometimes the tanks are just defective, another tank could fix it. It happens

I only had a plastic taste from a cheap tank I bought at a gas station. It went away after a day or so bit I don't use it anymore. Burnt plastic is very bad for you.

And if you're getting burnt flavor it could be the coil. Mine have always tended to burn easily if the voltage is up too high

 

[joesquid]

I'd say change the coil for now and then look into getting a better tank. Either a Mini Protank or a Nautilus Mini.

 

[Violation]

you can search some information about e-cig care, the burnt smell may result from half-cleaning.
Or change the coil like protank 3

Welcome to ECF! Grats on quitting!

I am new to vaping but was getting the same thing after a week a burning plastic taste. I also am using an ego-t with a cheap plastic tank but changed the coil and no more burnt taste. So I would try that.

It sounds like dry hit. The way that I vape is to continue taking my drag off my vaporizer after I've released the power button. I don't know if this makes a difference or not but in general now I only get dry hits if I'm chain vaping at a high wattage. Maybe vaping like this might help to alleviate at least a little of the dry hits you're experiencing.
