New "rebuilt" CE3s giving burnt taste

[fatcharlie]

I recently bought some CE3s from two different vendors thinking I was getting the "old style" that hold 1.5mL and have the air hole on the very bottom. Unfortunately I received the new "rebuilt" versions which don't have the air hole on the very bottom and hold about 1.2mL of liquid. Every single one I've filled will not wick consistently and give a burnt taste on about every hit unless I squeeze the tube near the wick, and then I get maybe one good hit before getting burnt hits again. Has anyone else experienced this same problems with the new CE3s? I never ever had burnt hits on the old style. Ever. I haven't changed the method in which I fill them, not my juice. This really blows if the manufacturer stops making the old ones. Oh yeah, these are not the Smokymizer versions either. I'm not really sure who makes them. Better Life Tech maybe? White box, black lettering....

try putting them in rubbing alcohol overnight. That solves most problems. Also, the voltage may be too high

I think all the top coils give dry hits every now and then,this why im getting the newer model T3 Kanger CC 3.0ml Clear tank/Clearo and Replaceable Coils.

Try tipping them up and down to keep the wicks wet too.

Thanks for the replies. So far it's nothing that an initial wash and dry burn and backing off the center tube a bit hasn't cured.... Still the old style CE3s were fill and vape. I hate having to monkey around with my clearomizers. I may try the CE3 Smokymizers, I think those are still unchanged.

Before I knew I threw a couple away because of that. Burnt taste is usually due to primer fluid. White box, black lettering, yes, made by BetterLife

Call me resistant to change.... but I still think the old ones were better...no fussing.

We should get used to cleaning things before using. Chemical residue can linger and it's relatively fuss free...
