I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. It seems that no matter which large clearomizer I try, by the end of the day my lungs feel like they're having an asthma attack, and the following morning I'm hacking up phlegm like I smoked 3 packs of cigarettes the previous day. I have tried the following clearos: Mini Vivi Nova, E1, GotVapes AlphaStar, DV CE5, Kanger T0, T2, and T3. At first I thought it was a top coil issue until the T3 came out, but I experienced the same problem with the T3. I vape around 1-2mLs per day, mostly an 80PG/20VG mix, sometimes 70/30, and if I'm using Copper Creek then 60/40, Ms. T's is higher VG, all at 12mg nicotine. I know I don't vape more than that with the larger clearos. Also, I can't say that I'm getting any more vapor production than my beloved CE3 BCs. The only thing I can think of is that the draw on all of the larger clearos is stronger/different than the CE3s, and that is the issue. Perhaps I'm inhaling the vapor deeper into my lungs unknowingly. The only other thing I can think of is that all of those clearos use a drip tip type of tip and I use those standard silicon caps that the CE3 ship with. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution to continue with the larger clearos?

Now, I know this is completely stupid, but on one hand there's a small part of me that feels I'm missing out on all of the vaping fun because I can't use any of these devices. On the other hand, with every large clearo I've tried I notice significant flavor dropoff after about the halfway point of the tank, which leads me to not even want to use those devices when I get full flavor from start to finish with my CE3s. I know if it ain't broke don't fix it, and I should just stay with the CE3s, but I have to admit the flavor production on the first half tank full of the T3s is unmatched by anything out there.

Sorry to hear that.... I have experienced similar problems with burnt attys, it seems that it's very dangerous to vape from an atty with burnt wicks, this has happened to me twice and the first time I didn't realize that it was due the atty until with a different coil I decided to replace the coil head, the cough and phlegm went away in an hour.... based on all the attys you have tried it seems that you're an experienced vaper but I just want to share my experience, the attys are disposables and sometimes cleaning them revive them but if this doesn't work you can replace it and try to rebuild the older ones (it's cheap and easy).

Thanks for the replies.

@vapmex - This experience has always been with brand new large sized clearomizers

@Susaz - Hmmm. I already take Advair and Albuterol for my asthma. I'm allergic to cat dander and I have 3 cats, lol, so I'm not so sure about either of those medications taken on top of what I'm already take. I appreciate the advice though.

I think I'll stick to my CE3s, at least until someone creates a large clearomizer that doesn't produce flavor loss after half a tank.
