Yea only one for now. It worked fine all day yesterday. I unscrewed it before charging, I just read that somewhere on the forums. I'm going to try to get one today locally (using that word loosely.) I lifted the plate on the battery end and nothing, so something is up with the clearo. It's spring operated so I have no clue what to do, so I'm back to cigs again since I ran out of snus. Really desperate for help to maybe fix the clearo. But like I said, it works at halfway screwed, but only for a few puffs then no vapor, so I don't want to damage anything on the unit until I get a new tank.. Probably a Vivi Nova.

If you are saying the Clearo has a springy center connector - Change Clearomizer type. Anything that can move can short. Most ce5 use a center pin suspended in a gasket. If pushed up to far from over tightening, they can be pulled back into place. Never over tighten, only screw down until pressure is felt.
Vivi Nova - 2.2ohm coil (middle range) works nicely on Evic. Good starting point.

If you were closer I'd give ya' one of mine and/or a couple of cartos to hold you over ... anythings better than hitting the cancer sticks again! The CE5's can take new heads so you might try that although given the symptoms, it may not help. However the heads are still cheaper than buying a new clearo and if it doesn't help, it can at least be reused in a new one. I take it you already made sure the base was tight right?

The base doesn't even unscrew, probably from being so tight. I'm gonna go buy an nJoy king to tide me over. There is a vape shop like 30 miles from my house and they dont cost very much, but thanks for the offer NGAHaze. I dont really like the hobby aspect of ecigs per se like tinkering and screwing and what not lol. What's a good tank type system to put on the evic with little maintenance? I just want it to work without issues! I would like to find a way to fix this one for now though.

I'm in downtown burbank. Theres a shop in eagle rock, about 15 miles away, but they don't have vivi novas. They told me they have 10 dollar and 14 dollar tanks but I couldn't hear what the names of them were with the speakers accent. I might just buy one of those for the meantime. There is a shop here called 777 but they only have their own line of stuff that look like regular cigs, you know those pretty crappy ones, and juice. No 510 tanks.
