I tried a ce4+ with the long wicks. It was OK at first, but when I tried to clean it as per the video I had trouble.
Maintaining the CE4+ Stardust cartomizer - YouTube
The long wicks seem to prevent doing a good dry burn. They hold too much moisture and are hard to dry out. Afterwards it just tasted BAD, had a burned flavor that would not go away. Recommend to avoid dry burning the long wicked ce4+.
On the bright side I just got some smoke tec 2.0 ohm little bitty cartos. Add a drip tip and screw it on my ego battery. Wow! It poops all over a stardust.This is only my second day so we'll see how long they last. But they are cheap so who cares?
Gotta give a shout out to Brent at Hoosier E-cigs for customer service that is unparallelled in this day and age. It's that midwestern/hoosier thing I guess. Taking pride in doing a job well.
