Hey well I just bout a vape pen off ebay, I want to know what i can do to it . It's a CE4 Master vape , from what i read i should get a different tank ?


I actually just decided to buy one because i saw some one at a concert with one that looked like a steampunk version of a cigar and it smelled amazing to me, and I am a Cigar smoker my self. I figured id try and maybe save money but now it looks like im going to be spending some $$ on flavors and other parts and goodies.

Welcome and yes get your wallet prepared cause it can get expensive.

I don't know that model so I can't help there but if you like the steampunk look check out the chi you steampunk mod looks awesome but learn as much about batteries and ohms as you can before messing with mechanical mods.

There are some great threads out there and if I knew how to link to them I would. But they are there especially look for ones by baditude.

Again welcome and happy vaping

Welcome and this is a good place for information. I am also not familiar with that set up. There are some inexpensive set ups, like the ego, and juices can be expensive. Try some of the vendors they recommend and look at the local B&M. I found a great cigar taste but unfortunately it was at lucky seven vapes which I think went out of business. Keep your mind open to flavors. I started with tobaccos now I am going into the dessert flavors. Have fun with this.

I believe you got some kind of throw away plastic tank. Those aren't the best but they aren't terrible, IMO. If you do buy a new tank, which at some point you will, get one that is glass. Some juices eat plastic. Not sure what's the newest and the best atomizers for pen style batteries now a days. I'm still using Kanger mini Protank 2's.

I appreciate the help , I was looking at a chart on ohm's now ... i know nothing about electronics haha.
but yes its a throw away tank , I was thinking it would be nice to have two any way one for my fruity flavors another for actual cigar extracted ejuice.

Hi CuriousAroma (nice username!),

Welcome to ECF!

2 batteries are great, for back-up and while the one is charging. I'm a flavor junkie so I had to have multiple tanks so I could switch it up any time.
If your pen uses a CE4s, it probably has Ego threading if not also 510 threading so you could purchase more CE4s or use a tank like an IClear16, Evod, or a ProTank Mini, all of which come with replaceable coils and end up being cheaper than buying replaceable tanks.
Then, let the great flavor hunt begin!

Happy vaping!

Depending on the juice you use will depend on how long the atomizer lasts. Darker, sweeter, thicker juices usually gunk up the coils quicker. They can last from a day to several weeks. If you battery is non-adjustable, I'd go with 1.8 to 2.5 ohm atomizers.

I'm newly converted myself. Try Uncle Junk's John Wayne. Yummy. Tobacco but a bit more interesting. Expensive though.

when buying a vape do you just buy the vape or do you need to buy other equipment for it as well?

Not really sure what your asking here, there may be a terminology / language difference. I'm not sure what items you are referring to when you say "buying a vape"

When I vape, when I am in the act of vaping. I need a "mod" (with power), a tank/atomizer system, and juice.
Mods
The mod can be a mechanical mod or a regulated mod. Mechanical mods have a battery and a button triggering the battery. Regulated mod have a battery, the button, and additional smarts. Common features of the additional smarts are to ensure constant voltage being applied to the atomizer, perhaps allow the user to adjust voltage or wattage (VV/VW variable voltage / variable wattage mods), perhaps saftety features to prevent over draining the battery or allowing the the battery to continuously drain if the button was stuck shut....
Atomizer / Tank
The coil to heat the juice, wick, and the juice holder is in the atomizer / tank section. There are several kinds including clearomizers, cartomizers, and rebuildable systems. Some types known as drippers (which can be rebuilt) only hold enough juice to saturate the wick and you drip before you vape right onto the wick and coil. Tanks hold more juice, and with cartomizers you have wicking material stuffed in a cylinder called a carto to hold more juice.
Example Set Up
An example decent set up with be an innokin mvp 2.0 (regulated vv/vwmod), a Kanger Aerotank clearomizer tank, and some juice perhaps from nicoticket. More cigalike settups include evod's and spinner type batteries and matching mini tanks which can be clearomizers or cartomizers...
Other Stuff
The MVP's battery is built in but many mod's allow the user to change the battery.... which adds the need for rechargeable batteries (make sure you use ones for vaping, many types can be dangerous) and chargers. Rebuildable tanks add the need for coil building gear, wicking material, some tools. A way to check resistance and voltage is a common tool for the trad and a must have for rebuildables. Nonrebuildable clearomizers need their heads replaced, so more atomizer heads for them......

I'm rocking the kanger mini proTank 2...took me a while to figure out the setup, but it works like a charm compared to the kit stuff you're supplied.
