Hi all, I'm a new member, but I've been lurking a few weeks now. Brilliant source of info this forum. Anyway, hopefully someone can help me with my issue. I bought an 'eGo K' starter pack - so a 650amh battery x2 with ce4 clearomiser x2. And after about 2 weeks of use, there is an awful, horrible burnt taste. I've cleaned with warm water, still there. Then I tried ethanol. Still there. Since, I have read online that the ce4's aren't really meant to be used permanently, that they are disposable. Is this correct? If this is the case, I'd love to know of a clearomiser that I could get that wouldn't have any of these problems. I hate having to throw things out. Also, as I live in Australia, it's not that easy for me to get any supplies, I have to order online. I really don't want to stop vaping just because of a simple problem like this. Any help would be great. Thanks very much

Get rid of the CE4! When I first started, I got the Ego C-Twist 1100mah with a CE5 clearo on it. It worked for about a week, then that same burnt taste came on. Dont even bother buying new heads for it because theyre kinda difficult to find, and honestly, who wants to replace a clearo every week? I think you should get the Aspire BDC tank and pop that on there. You will do much better, and replacing coils is a breeze with this tank.
Aspire BCD, ok. And how many coils? Cause shipping seems to take ages. Sorry for the noobishness. Thanks
If you want to use clearomizers Maybe invest in kanger or aspire brand ones. Order spare parts and read about cleaning the coils to prolong their lives. Boy we are fast.. There was no replies when i started typing lol
I started with the ego-t kit that came with the ce4, I quickly ditched that one and went to the aspire bdc as stated above. Found it much nicer and the replaceable atomizers were nice. I have since upgraded my gear and now use an aspire nautilus(rather big on an ego style battery) but loving every moment of it.
Yeah, the CE4's are pretty much meant to be disposable. You need something like an EVOD Clearomizer (the pyrex ones are the best) or Protanks, etc. In those you clean them out and replace the atomizers when they go bad. Here are a couple of links. You can probably get them less expensively from FastTech.com but you may have to wait a bit.
Kanger EVOD eGO Bottom Coil Clearomizer
Mini Kanger Protank 2 Mini Pro Tank Glassomizer
I love the Aspire BDC for smaller batteries myself. They may be a littler more expensive ($9 or $10 EACH)

You need to understand that all these devices have wicks and coils that get gunked up with use and all require that the wick and coil be replaced often. Two weeks use out of a CE4 is pretty much a better than average life span. If you are expecting to find a device that doesn't have this "problem" - they don't exist.
Alright, thanks for the flurry of replies guys! So basically, get atleast an aspire bdc and some replacement coils? I found once posted locally (3 days wait) that cost $12 US that comes with 2 coils. Is that worth it? I really don't wanna get back on the analogs.
Thanks
Thanks
I'm up in Ontario Canada and the aspire bdc with 1 coil costs ~$10 Canadian so i'm assuming $12 US is a decent price. I'm not sure the price but a pack of 5 atomizers here is ~$15.
That is not a bad price for an Aspire BDC and 2 coils. I think I paid $9 for just the clearo and I want to say that 5 coils were around $10 or $12 (I could be wrong about that amount).
I use Kanger 3 twin coil they work well and the coils are inexpensive I get a week to two month out of them and they hit great .
I do like a bigger battery like the SVD mod 18650 3400mah battery but on the cheep side and yes I do use them too is a T3 with bottom coil.there great too.

It won't make then last forever but do t underestimate dry burning to burn the gunk (juice residue) off the coil. The darker the juice the more gunk it leaves.
Hi. I'm back again. I've looked into my options and would like some opinions. I've been recommended in this thread the Aspire BDC and am probably going to order that. However, there are a few other options that seem similar:
Aspire CE5 BDC
T9 Bottom Coil Clearomizer 2.4
Vivi Nova V9
Which would be the best option?
Thanks very much

Hi Chris,
There are Australian vendors who sell this stuff. You might want to check out Vape King, Here is their clearomizer page:
CLEAROMIZERS - Vapeking
They have Aspire and Kanger. Closer to you and quicker.
Hey Chris,
The first one in your list (aspire ce5 bdc) is the one that people have been suggesting. As for the other 2, I have seen them but never used them as I went straight for a nautilus after the aspire bdc.

All sorted. As suggested by many, I went with the aspire. Ordered the clearo and two coils. Should keep me going for a while. Thanks!
Welcome!
I will also just contribute my
. I have EVOD (non-glass) tanks, a Mini ProTank 2, and just got some Smok Aro (pyrex) tanks. I started vaping regularly (and exclusively) about 2 months ago. I'm constantly rotating and cleaning the coils (just drop in a splash of vodka overnight - rinse with water and blot dry before re-using. Everclear might be better, but I don't drink that stuff, so I don't have any on-hand LOL) I've not tried dry-burning, but I haven't felt that the quality of my vape has deteriorated sufficiently to warrant pitching a coil yet (other than the 2 or 3 that I truly singed/fried by accident.)
Depending on the type of juice you're vaping (high VG and/or dark juices) as well as the Volts/Watts at which you vape, you might find coils deteriorating more quickly.
The "type" of tank will become your preference - just like the "type" of juice you choose to vape. The takeaway is spare coils - the one time you forget to prime to let the wick get saturated, and you take a HUGE draw - SNAP! You've fried a coil and/or burnt a wick. I'm not into rewicking/building coils personally. It's infinitely easier to just pop open a new one and resume.
You'll find your "happy place".
Cheers!
