General inquiry about clearos

[hillbilly20]

Hi folks,
I have got a couple of questions regarding clearos:
1.what is the difference of clearos with numbers,like ce4 and ce5? or t3 and t5?
2.I have read in previous posts that I should clean the clearos(esp. evod) before using.Would you please explain this process and clarify for which clearos should it get done?
Many thanks in advance

Ce4 top wick - Stardust type clearomizer - Disposable
Ce5 top wick - Stardust type clearomizer - Servicable

T3 - Kanger Bottom coil Clearomizer - servicable
T5 - Kanger top coil Stardust type - servicable

All clearos/tanks need cleaning/servicing - Except disposable=toss

e-liquid residue builds up on coil and wick depreciating performance, eventually to the point of failure.

Cleaning, there are several methods.
MOSTLY, all I've needed was a rinse in hot water, and then I like to dry them for like a day - but I just did a ProTank, and basically shook it dry, then used it. First few puffs were lame - then it kicked in.
If your clearo has a nasty taste to it - sort of "motor oil" - or you really want to get rid of a flavor before refilling with a different flavor, you can take it apart, soak the parts overnight in vodka, then rinse as usual. The vodka should break down the juice and let it rinse away.

Hopefully, that's all you need for cleaning for now!
If your coils are gunky from thick juice and you want to keep using that coil - search the threads for "Dry burn" perhaps.

Thank you for ur answers,I meant cleaning before using the clearos/tanks for the first time,as they are brand new.
Is such a thing true? Specially fir FT orders?

Most people think it's a good idea to at least rinse out a new Clearomizer, before using it for the first time. This is just to make sure any little filings or oil that it may have picked up during manufacturing is rinsed out.

What I found that if I don't wash , dry (new) b4 using it for the first time lessen that kind of off taste. Just not right.

After washing the new tank takes about 5-6 vap b4 to get the right taste. If not washed, it took like 1/2 a tank.

So I always wash and dry the new tanks.

Vapon!!

Yes, clearomizers can have leftover machine oil from manufacturing. I always rinse with isopropyl alcohol, towel off, thoroughly wash in warm water and let dry.
I do this with all of my new juice delivery systems, minus cartos/attys.

Even disposable CE4 can be cleaned 2-4 times before you need to toss them out. I use the same basic procedure for anything form a stardust type to a protank.

Remove the tip (mouthpiece).
Dump the juice if needed.
Rinse 4-5 times in as hot a water as my hands can handle.
Blow through the battery connection to remove as much water as I can.
Let air dry for 30 mins.
Attach to battery.
activate battery for 2 seconds, stop for 5 seconds, reepeat, looing in the end to see if the coil(s) glow orange. When they do, the dry burn is done.
Fill, replace tip, vape.

If you've had a really sweet juice in there that really gunked the coils, you can do 2-3 rinses in vinegar, vodka or, everclear before the water rinse to break the stuff loose.
