The CE4+ are ver.1 & have some mfg. issues. Not that they can't be cleaned up... Just sayin'.

Yes I seen that, but figured I take a chance and get a few to see. Don't think they would
sell them if they were that bad....I hope :D

If you brought just the empty tube and mouthpiece elsewhere it would cost over $2.00.
At $2.99 I'm hoping that xmas came early this year :laugh:

Hey Robbie, I've got an easier method to remove that pesky botton ring and you don't need to put masking tape on them (by the way those things are called slip-joint pliers - Channel-locks in the trade).

1) For those of you that don't have lighters anymore, take a trip to your local store and buy a Bic.

2) Heat the metal for a few seconds. The plastic can withstand a bit of heat, but be careful not to overheat (need I say?)

3) Be prepared with a paper towel or face towel. (So you don't burn your fingers - duh.)

4) Twist right away and off it comes!

It worked very well on the two I tried today. Haven't tried it on the new style Stardust yet, but one of the two had super-glue in the ring from sealing cracks and the ring came right off, where it would not budge using other methods.

This also works for the top ring (if you ever need to remove it), although it seemed to need more heat.

The fit is not as snug afterward - I suppose a dab of Elmers glue would help here. Ed. (Tried it - it does.)

But you'll never have to pull hard again!
:unsure:
