More questions from a newbie.

It has been 2 month when I started vaping. Do not like analogs anymore, but have it very once in a while, when I am out of vape due to running out of battery's power or broken clearomizers. Yesterday I disassembled my CE4 clearomizer for Tgo from Apollo in order to reanimate it and it was not successful. They are not made to be reanimated. You have to get a new one every 2 to 3 weeks, which is something I wish could be improved. Still thinking it is possible to give a new life to it, if I find some place to get wicks and wire.


Now I am keeping my eye on Altsmoke eGo-C Twist battery and Vision Clearomizer with replaceable coil, as well as eGo Mega Dual Coil kit from Easy vaping. As of today, I have learned that nothing is going to last long enough and I will have to supply myself endlessly on cartomizers or clearomizers. tank systems which I used before is not my cup of tea: lots of leaking, gurgling and also the atomizer do not last more then 2 weeks, even if I cleaned it. I also disassembled my atomizer just to make sure it cannot be used anymore. Wicks were completely burned out.

So, my questions would be:
Did anyone have experience using those two systems I’ve mentioned and how long one clearomizer or one dual coil cartomizer would last the most? I mean, till it’s becoming unusable and dead.

I have watched lots of videos about cleaning clearomizers and that what I did with my CE4, and then gave it a dry burn. And I suspect it could be the reason this thing was completely burned when I disassembled it. The wicks and wire were beyond repair. I know, it easier to get a new one, but in my book, if there are some parts which are not broken, one should try find the way to make it work. Even if I am about to switch to other companies and/or get new CE4 from Apollo again, I still want to make my oldies work again.

Then, there is one more question:
What sort of material could be used for making your own wicks and where to get a tiny peace of wire?

I’ve seen some post and links for suppliers but they are selling in huge quantities, which I don’t need. Yesterday I tried to fix my clearomizer using whatever material I got in home but it didn’t work. May be there are some stores I can go and ask them to spare some goods for me? Any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I use a Vivi nova. Which is bigger than the CE and I use a CE5. Which is rebuildable. You can with some effort even rebuild the atty on both. I find them easier to clean and do a dry burn to get the crust that builds up on the coil. You just need a few tools and 32 gauge Kanthal wire and some cotton or silica wick. An ohmmeter is kind of needed too. But you don't need a fancy one for that.
on the CE5 and the vivi you can remove that little silicone tip and see the coil when you go to dry burn it. I use a low voltage and hit it for a few seconds unitil it gets red hot then let it cool. I keep doing this and blowing it out untill I can see the actual wire all the way from one side to the other. So far I have done this to a Vivi atty like 2 times and have used it 3 times. Still working.
If I can help any more don't hesitate to ask.

Hit up ebay for the canthal wire
