Hello all,
Recently my clearos leak bad, my clearos look like a CE4 with wickless. After 4 days of use, it's start leaking in the middle down into my my battery. As I tried to inhale, I hear a burn sound and ejuice popping directly into my mouth. This is the 2nd one for me already, after 3 days and same thing happen.

Please advice on what to do, or better yet, is there any good tank/cartos that last up to at least 3 weeks or so? I need something that I can put at least 2 ml of ejuice so I can last a whole day without refill

Thanks in advance for advice and help.

You said "looks like a CE4".
I have a question. Does the mouthpiece screw into the body of the unit with threading, or does it just push in?

I had a few that just push in, have no threading. They leaked for me. But I have had no problem with the Stardust CE 4 (with threaded mouthpiece). Mine last about 10 days. The leaky ones lasted only about 4 days.

Hi CE4/"Stardust" type clearos are notorious for leaking. I still use them, but the trick that works for me is: 1) Don't fill them up all the way; and 2) After filling, roll up a piece of paper towel and slide it up the bottom hole to blot excess juice. I often unscrew them occasionally to check if they need to be blotted if I'm tipped them around a lot.

I can't think of anything that will last three weeks, if it's all you are using. I get weeks, sometime months, out of clearos and cartos, but that's because they are sitting (with juice inside) while I rotate them with several other devices.

From digging around for info on here when I was looking for a clearo/tank it seems like most of them will spit at you eventually through the tip, but not all of them have leaking problems.

I decided on the M3 and love it I've got one that's been going for two weeks straight and several refills. Another that I ended up cleaning bc the liquid started looking darker than it should(I'm guessing from gunk buildup on the coil), and now it's like new again.

I'm not sure if it's just me but the T3's aren't really my favorite. To me the taste is a bit muted and they tend to leak kind of frequently. I also get a burnt taste every 10 hits or so which is really irritating. They were the first thing I used and after 3 failed T3's I moved onto using tanks and cartos and couldn't be happier. They're not as easy to refill but the taste and TH is so much better. Right now I'm using a UDCT from vaporkings but might move onto a pyrex tank soon.
