How long are your clearomizers lasting? 3 weeks about right @ 1ml/day?

How long are your clearomizers lasting?

I recently got a pair of kanger t0's which I initially loved, but both are getting really weak going in to week number 4. My 'vape breaks' have been getting closer together, flavor/production have really dropped off, and they're a lot quieter now.

I'm only going through about a 2ml/day in fluid, so we'll say 1ml/day on each. It's 50/50 liquid. I'm using off-brand, fixed-voltage, ego-style batteries.

Is this all I get, or is something wrong here? (I really don't know, since I only recently moved up to ego-sized stuff)

My 'vape breaks' have been getting closer together, flavor's really dropped off, and I just screwed on a ce4 which initially I didn't care for so much, and it just blew them both away.

Do a search for proper dry burning for a clearomizer. I know of several threads on ECF and I know you tube has several videos.

Juice leaves a residue and that builds up on your atty. Dry burning helps clean them up.

Awesome, watching a this vid now.
I had heard the term before but had no idea what it meant. Newbie forum rocks.

Ya know I have been having the EXACT same problem with my Clearomizers and I dont know why because mine are even the rebuildable ones! They are the Smoktech Redux Clearomizers and I've only had them for 14 days now and ive changed the wicks/attys once in both of them after being cleaned and dried properly and yeah the vapor and flavor has decreased and that crackle sound you get when you fire the battery isnt there anymore. They worked great the first week but yes now im experiencing the same types of issues. These are on freshly charged Ego Twist 1000 mah batteries btw running at around 3.7-4.0 volts. Yeah man what the heck is going on with these things???

If your juice is thicker or darker it will tend to build up gunk faster on the coil, so you might want to dry burn sooner when production takes a dive. Of course if you're putting a lot of liquid through it it'll happen sooner too.

Wow do I regret trying that dry burn. Since I can't see the coil (bottom coil) I did it until the smoke died down, filled it up, and now I do indeed get quite a lot more vapor. ...But it's awful burnt rubber band vapor. Surfing around there are some other ideas on how to clean these kanger t0's, but before I try those out on my other one, I made sure to order a couple T2's. They seem like a lot less effort to keep clean, fill, and swap juice. No wonder they're more popular.

I went with the t0 initially because the coil is on the bottom so there's no tipping.

if these are the types you can rebuild yourself or just change the head i would do so... but a month on a clearo is pretty good IMO... that's one 30ml bottle life span... other wise switch to vivi tanks because you can change out the head or rebuild them yourself...

I've had my Kanger M3s for a month and they are still working perfectly. I rinse them every three fills, soak them overnight in vinegar and rinse well. I don't have any Kanger T2s but do have Vivi Novas and a Kanger T3. To me, the M3s produce a markedly clearer taste than the Vivi Novas or Kanger T3.

I have been using my nova's for about 4 mos now and couldn't be happier. I just don't understand how people are having problems unless they are not cleaning and dryburning well. Seems like most of the posters with problems are low time users.

Well, after some research, I cleaned my second T0 with vodka soak and it helped a good bit. Mind it's not 'like new' but it's a decent vape. I think the rebuildable t2's I've ordered will do better for me, and the t3's look even better.
