Help me find the perfect clearomizer?

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

So over the past few months I've tried several different clearomizers in hopes of finding the right one. I'll include reviews of the ones I've tried. If anyone has any ideas, just throw em out there. I'm trying to find a good clearo that: holds a good amount of e juice, but isn't too big (2ml ideal), has good strong vapor with good flavor, looks good, and doesn't crap out on me in a week.

So here's what I've tried:

Vision ego clearomizer/ Ce4+/ they have many rebrands.
CE4
This is a good vape, good vapor and flavor. Holds a decent amount of juice(1.6ml), and would be my preference, if it held up. Once you've had it a while the seal will go bad and leak thru to the battery, or just flat out break. The plastic tube tore off the metal part for me. I wish I could find one that works like this that didn't break.

Kanger t0 - Garbage.
Kanger T0 Bottom Coil Clearomizer
A pain in the ... to fill, dry hits, worse flavor, less vapor, and of course broke like the ce4.

Gotvapes phoenix - a tease.
When I first got it I was impressed by the sleek look, the capacity, and the initial good flavor and big vapor. Then I hit it a few more times and got dry hits. This thing is terrible with the dry hits, I found you can either loosen the center tube from the bottom just a tad so more juice can reach the coil, it fixes dry hits for the most part, but then it leaks. Or you can blow into it while holding your fingers over the bottom holes to temporarily solve the matter, but it doesn't last and this also makes it leak. I have not tried their "new and improved" version since it only holds 1.25 ml.

Kanger t3 - I liked it initially. A sleek cool look and good capacity. But to hit it is like sucking a golf ball thru a garden hose, really tight draw, and it dry hits as well. Blowing into it temporarily helps.

Guys im sick of wasting money and researching, can anyone help me out? To clarify, I want a good clearo thats not a pain in the ..., holds somewhere around 2ml, hits good, tastes good, all day, and wont break in my pocket. Also I use an ego-c twist for my battery Anyone?

I bought a few Kanger T-2s with replacement coil heads and they are great, except one which was DOA. No big deal, replaced the head and it hits great. Gotvapes has them. They have the eGo thread only, so you may need an adapter if you only have 510. I use the adapter on my Zmax. Capacity is 2.4ml and the heads come in a variety of ohms. I use 2.4 ohms.

You can give the Vision viv nova mini a try. If you are into modding/tinkering with them, you can get them to work really well. If not, just buy more replacement heads and clean regularly.

 

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

yeah I dont really care to mod anything, I just want it to work out of the box

The T2 would be the best "out-of-the-box" experience I've ever had on a Clearomizer.

I'd recommend giving these a try. AltSmoke has them for $5 a pop and $1.50 replacement heads if I remember correctly. These have the easiest draw of any clearo I've ever tried, and I despise a really tight draw.

Another vote for kanger T2. I use the LR 1.8 heads and they are great imo! What I do is clean the heads and tank about every 3 fills and I have yet to kill a head in over 2 months. At .99 cents a head at some places you just can't beat the price etc...Some say you should clean the heads before you use them, but I never have myself so I used them right out of the box. I have been vaping since 09 and have tried a ton of gear. From LR boge cartos to cisco atty's to CE3's and CE'4's and many others including the Kanger T3. The T2 is the one I have all my juice in now. One thing I would recommend is to raise the rubber sleeve on the head up a bit to allow a bit more juice flow and you will love it I think. What I do is just raise it up flush with the top of the head and then when you screw to tip back down just let it seat it as you tighten it up. Seems to do great for me. Good luck in your search!

I hate most clearos. Weird plastic or burnt taste. But recently i got some bauways. Im loving em. Been using the same one all week. No bad taste its like a vivi nova but arier. And they come in pretty colors and you can use your own drip tip.

I'll throw in yet another vote for the Kanger T2. I'm getting great flavor and vapor with no dry hits. The replacement heads are cheap, and it's pretty easy to rebuild a head.

I'm happy with the two Kanger T3s that I have and ordered some more. However, I've read a bunch of posts about inconsistent performance. That's somewhat expected, though certainly disappointing, for a new product. Hopefully the latest batch of T3s will be more consistent and I'll have worried for nothing.

My suggestion would be to give Smok Tech ReDux rebuild-able clearo's a try one small adjustment made these hum for me just untwist the wick from being one solid thicker rope to 4 slimmer strings I am also a fan of Kanger T2's but I prefer the mouthpiece on the ReDux you can get them here
Smok Tech Redux

I'd go with the Vivi Nova from free-cigs.com. This is a clone, but it works great with, after a month, no problems whatsoever. Reasonably priced too, and you get three replaceable coils. Don't waste time or money on the glued-together units - they're always problematic.

These look pretty good - I think I'll give them a try. How much e-liquid do these hold?

 

[damthisisfun]

I know these are older - but CE2s for me work the best.

 

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

Thanks for the input guys. I just ordered some bauway ce4 clearos, a smoktech redux, kanger t2, and the new phoenix bottom coil. Ill let you all know how it goes.

 

[danimal40]

hope you bought the Bauway ce4's from Mountain oak vapor.....they are only 1.99 on sale I just bought 20 of them...thats how much i like them...they are a lil high at 2.6 ohms but i love them on my twist from 4 to 4.4... only prob is the tubes come off pretty easy on the old ones..they corrected the prob on the new ones...i liked the tubes coming off made cleaning them a 2 min job..just dont put them in your pocket and tube doesnt come off..

 

[BillNyeTheSmokingGuy]

OK guys so heres my little review.

Bauway ce4 clearos-
Good vapor, a bit reduced flavor, and does not seem very durable at all, def couldnt leave this in my pocket. But for the price(like $2), its a good deal

Smoktech Redux-
This is my favorite. Good vapor, good flavor, more durable than ce4. However after using it daily for a week the plastic portion keeps coming unattached from the base, leaking. This ...... me but I guess they're all going to this...

Gotvapes new phoenix bottom coil-
The new ones come in 1.25 ml, which I hate, no where near enough for a full day. I also hate using a syringe. The flavor/vapor is def improved with no dry burns yet, which is awesome. But the sleeve doesn't stay on at all, and because of the size I will not use this. Gotvapes has disapointed me once again. Actually every product I've ever bought from them that they made over the past years has had SOMETHING wrong with it... food for thought

Kanger t2. Decent vapor( not as much as redux) reduced flavor, too big for my tastes. No dry burns, a good choice, but not the best. I would buy this again.

Guys I'm def still open to more suggestions, lets find the best clearo out there!

I'm with you damthisisfun.

Do you Mod them or use them right Out of the Box?

 

[vapmex]

Not perfect but my vote is for the T2... airy, warm and moisty draw....... try the 1.8 ohms heads and you will notice the difference.

Best Clearo? I'm not sure if there is One.

Some people like a Cooler Hit. So a Bottom Coil Clearo maybe what they Like. Some like a Warm Hit. They might like a Top Coil Best. Others want something that Lasts All Day. So the currently in Vogue Tank Style "Mid" Coils might be a good bet. And still Others want something Smaller which is Easier to Carry. Throw into the Mix a Half Dozen PG:VG Ratios and a Rainbow of Voltages, well... you get the Idea

I've tried about Every Clearo ever made. For Me, I like a CE2 with a One Piece Mouth Piece Mod.

Best Hit, but the Learning Curve can be High for some people.

 

[damthisisfun]

I'm with you damthisisfun.

Do you Mod them or use them right Out of the Box?

Mostly right outta the box - except I remove the silica wicks and either use cotton or bamboo. A couple of days back I did recoil 2 of them as they had busted. Was much more time consuming than recoiling a vivi or a CE4......but they work.....what mods do you do with me?
