Have I ruined my CE4?

[Jjjjj23]

Hi!
I bought a CE4 for the first time today from eBay. I've never used one before and I poured a few drops of juice into the burner ( I think) rather than into the tank as the instructions were confusing. I tried using it and it tastes burnt what should I do? Is it ruined? Thanks x

Wash it out really good and try again, it doesn't hurt to get a drop in the air tube (too much is bad) you have to let the clearomizer soak up the juice for a few seconds before you vape on it, and until it gets a good flow going your initial hits have to be pretty hard...adjust your technique and try puffing rather than long hard draws..it might take a few times to literally boil off the burnt junk...if it doesn't or gets worse...try washing it real good and try again)

What volts are you running it at, what resistance is the coils, and what technique are you using on your vaping?

Hi thanks for the reply I will try rinsing it out an leaving to dry. I'm not sure about volts or anything like that. It's the first time I've ever seen one lol, I've been using a rechargeable e cigarette so far. I never realised how easy it would be to give up 'smoking' with these thanks for the help x

Welcome to the forum.
My first clearo was also a CE4 and I did the same thing. Just remove the mouth piece,empty out the liquid, blow out the ejuice that might be inside the burner tube into a kleenex and put the clearo in vodka to soak for a bit. The clearo should then be clean reassemble, refill and vape away.
Good luck.

Can't get easier than a CE4. For cheap disposable junk, they do remarkably well, better than my Evods.

I second the above. Empty your tank, wash it out, blow through it from the bottom to clear out the airtube, then try again. It fills from the top, run your juice down the side like drawing a draft beer. Stop when it gets right above where the wicks are and the air tube narrows down at the rubber seal. Put your tip back in, draw reasonably hard on it without power until you smell the juice, then vape.

Thanks for all the advice everyone I've just rinsed it out, do I need to let it dry out before I reassemble it ?

Thanks x

I usually don't. Try to sling out as much as possible. It will just take a few draws to boil off the water.
