Here's a pic of one that's uncut, so you can see how it came.
Sorry for the picture quality, I'm using my phone. The date and invoice number should be visible if you click on the picture and look at the original size. I can take a pic next to a steel one, to show that they're the same size as well, if you like. Just let me know if you need a certain pic, and I'll upload it.
Edit: Here's the full size link: http://www.smugmug.com/photos/1242619828_7nvdt-X3.jpg
Here's the side of the box, listing the product codes?
EDIT: In regards to mouth piece, do you mean the built in one? I also received (and thank you) a red drip tip with the order for free, which was very nice of you.

ok I WILL CONTACT the factory and see what is going on, i just open 4 packs worth and didnt find any old wicks so i have no idea if its a widespread issue or not but will look into it and get back to you.
Thanks very much. My email address is attached to my ecigforums account, and it's the same as the one associated with that invoice number, so if you could contact me either way, that would save some time.
The worst case scenario is that I keep these as spares, because I can use them in my MAP tank anyways. I just wanted to make sure that if I order again, I'll get the new style, and that others won't run into the same issue. If you want, shoot me an email, so I can place a new order for a box that you've hand checked, and write my name on it, or some such method.
Tomorrow is a hectic day, but I'll place the order on Friday, if I can't get to it tomorrow.
Thank you for your help!
I would guess RS is purging their old inventory. Can't do it in the clearos, it would be noticed to easily. What better way than to hid it in the black and SS CE2?!??!
In any case, I'm not loving the new clear tubes. Even after filing a drip tip down they don't fit easily resulting in too much pressure and eventual cracks. And if you take one apart and try to replace the tube, good luck getting a new tube on all the way. I haven't been able to get one very much past the o'ring. I suppose as long as it's not leaking it's fine, but I don't think the added rigidity is any better than the older model.
I ordered Black CE2-X at 3.0 and the one I just opened has the older, looped thin wicks as well. 20110316 was the production date, they did have the newer black tip. On opening, I noticed the black tip wasn't in there quite all the way...clearomizers work great though 
Got the latest Fluxomizers, loaded one up w/50/50 Cinnamon Mist, throwed it on a Riva. Night and day difference tween this and earlier versions. This is Fat Wick, thicker tube. No wicking issures, so far, no cracking issues. This version mght be a keeper. JMHO

Glad they are workign well for you...I have had the same experience with my own stash. The only thing I do is lift the filler ring up slightly where the wicks enter the cup.
Well it appears some just slipped in, not that many...we ordered quite a few and those are the only ones we are hearing back on but even so we have made them aware pose haste.
I think GotVapes may have fared pretty well here. I've seen multiple reports from people that bought from other suppliers. And I hope you didn't take any of my comments as a dig at you guys...not your fault in the least. I don't even really blame RS for the clearo tubes. It's a tough one...I'm not sure how to solve it...too thin and they crack...too thick and they're more difficult to work with and still crack. Personally, I'd prefer them a little thinner and easier to work with if the thicker one's are going to crack anyway.
The first time I saw juice leaking from the base, I wasn't very happy....until I realized that when I had just taken the ce2 apart to clean the day before, I had replaced the tube with the 'drip tip' side on the base without realizing that side already had tiny cracks from the stress of the drip tip I was using. So I carefully drained my juice....took ce2 apart...flipped the tube and good to go! Now I inspect each tube after cleaning, to make sure the side with any slight stress cracks are not used as the base. It's a great way to get a few extra days out of the tube too!
Clearos Rock. It's SO much easier to clean with the tube off. Can see the coil and the new wicks rinse clean. All back together and it's working like new. Clear tubes or not, removing the tube is a big plus to increasing the life on your carto...
To be clear my G-Bear juice in the clearo was BLACK. But I think I tried some stevia which may have caused the turning. After the cleaning the juice browns slightly, but more of a weak tea brown than TAR brown.

I love the gummy bears but ended up moving it to a old atty to use.
It's definitely the juice caramelizing and turns a really, really dark brown...
On day 4 of my clearo's and I noticed some really small cracks around the base but nothing really bad. I actually didn't notice them at first and hard to look hard to even see them.
Still love them and will get more , wick my 100% VG well and the taste on these are excellent : D
I noticed a hairline crack in the base of my 510 XL Clearomizer, and it was leaking . The leak was minimal but it was still a leak. Believe it or not I wrapped a small piece of clear wrapping tape around it and it has stopped leaking. I've used it for going on 3 days with the tape on it and still it's holding up. I'm going to use it until it dies.
Is there a way for the factory to make the tubes out of the same material as the bottles that FA uses for flavoring? I'm talking about the type of bottle that's hard use for dripping because it's so stiff. It would seem to me that those would not have the same chemical reaction to certain flavors. I would love either that, or just make the black ones the same as the clearos, to where you can take the tube off.
they are in fact testing 2 new tubes, the issue is getting the tubes on the base without causing fissures or cracks, getting certain tubes approved is another issue, they cant just use any plastic but they are looking into other alternatives to see what can be done in the near future.
