Nano Clearomizer Fails

[ShaneBlack]

Well I just got the Nano clearomizer (link below) today and I am pretty disappointed in it. I thought it looked nice, but the darn thing kept leaking juice out of the hole at the bottom, not the air holes but the hole where it makes contact with the battery. My conclusion was that a seal on the inside of it isn't properly in place and causes liquid to pass by it. I get that gerguling sound everytime I take a drag of it. When I blow on it to clear the atomizer alot of liquid comes out and dramatically reduces the amount in the tank chamber. I seen on the bottom part a flat head screw driver notch, but when I tried tightening it, it did nothing but turn and not tighten at all. Anyway I don't mean to sound confusing on what I'm talking about, but I think I'll just stick to joyetech 510-T atomizers, I ordered some extras and their holding up pretty good. They might cost alittle more but the quality is pretty good.

You have to keep in mind that all of these little clearos and things are mass produced cheap pieces of plastic. I don't trust any of them not to fail, so always buy at least two.

Thanks for moving this I forgot about this area for clearomizers. Anyway I just wanted to see what others thought about these things. I've seen reviews about these being unreliable. I see the mass production of them yields bad batches. You'd think they would check them at the factory first to make sure their working.

I have about 5 in rotation, of the 7 I have used, and have pretty good luck with them. Some say Vivi, the ones I got from AltSmoke don't, but otherwise appear identical.

One I dropped and broke, so obviously not their fault.

One acted like a gunked up carto after just a few refills. The juice was on the thicker end of 80/20, so maybe that had something to do with.

The other 5 (all different flavors, what I use them for, mostly) are doing fine. I have had a couple occasionally gurgle, or yield a drip out the battery end, but a quick wipe down has so far remedied that.

 

[ShaneBlack]

Thanks for the picture, I see you can remove the inside so I may just do that and see if I can find that seal. It gurgles so I blow it out and wipe it down. But again it floods. If I find a solution I'll post it tomorrow when I take it apart. Does the inside come out easy ? how did you remove it ?

 

[DavidOck]

Uh, the disassembled one is the one that broke. The insides aren't supposed to come out. After being dropped and separating ( the air tub from the coil/batting assembly) I didn't trust it to stay together, so cleaned it for a proper burial, with commemorative photos.

Again, I removed it by dropping onto linoleum from a height of roughly 4 1/2 feet

Just thought the pic nicely shows that it's really like a tiny carto tank, without a replaceable carto.

 

[ShaneBlack]

Oh I see, Well thats a shame. but I guess its only 5$ lost, I sent an email explaining how its defective so maybe they'll send me a better one. Thanks for your help though, at first I was going to use these as backups but now I'm just thinking of stocking up on Tank atomizers for my 510.

 

[DavidOck]

Like Ocelot said, maybe just bad luck with the one. I wouldn't write them off after just one.

 

[ShaneBlack]

I probably will try more of them sometime, I know that when it barely had any liquid left it wouldn't leak and gave me some real great throat hits and lots of vapor, it was only when I filled it past the atty holes instead it started leaking. I'd say its a bad seal in the atty. But it did give great performance with almost no liquid in it.

 

[DavidOck]

Like most clearo style devices, the air tube assembly passes through the case and bottoms out as the battery connection. The ones I've torn apart all have a gasket between that and the base/thread assembly. It might be that's what isn't right on your sample. Since the air tube on the Nano is a single, solid piece up to the screw on drip tip, keeping the juice level below the holes only lowers the fluid pressure on the lower gasket, and shouldn't have anything to do with leaking.

Of course, if you've overfilled, or taken too long to reattach the tip, it could flood. Capillary action could draw some juice up and in.

I got three Vision Nano's and no issues. I can't say anything bad about, knock offs because I don't own any, but I've had an issue with my vision products, nano's or nova mini nova. Buddy of mine has some store branded replicas and has issues left n right. Again I haven't experienced them so I can't say, but no issues with vision products as of yet!

 

[ShaneBlack]

Judging from the pictures I posted of them and those from other sites, I think I did actually get a knock off. Mine does not have writing on it saying V-Nano like this one here Vision Nano Clearomizers

 

[DavidOck]

I have some of each, i.e. with and without the V-nano etching, but I've been unable to find any other difference. Vape the same, and so far all but one are still puffing along.

I ran into almost exactly the same issue with the CE4-C Replaceable Coil Clearomizer. At first I thought I had done something wrong and read up on the issue, finding that it's not uncommon. Well, that and a weird plastic taste from them.

 

[RoadToNever]

The way I could get them to perform decent was to make sure the first fill soaked long enough that it started leaking a little bit.

 

[Faylool]

They need to just quit with the plastic. Glass is fine. Pyrex better

I get mine from Got Vapes and Sweet Vapes. both vendors have the V-Nano logo, and I love them. got some snapping sounds from a high VG juice, but other than that, these little things are awesome. love the colors too.
