Non rebuild-able clearomizer?

[chickenhide]

Hey everyone

So I got my first vape pen last week and while I do like it, I'm pretty sure I got ripped off. Its a cheap brand and I'm unable to take the clearomizer apart so the wicks are still saturated in my old juice!



I've soaked it in almost boiling water for over half an hour today but the wicks still look really thick and viscous like the juice is still in them. All I want to do is replace the flavor.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you soaked it, the wicks will be mostly just water now.

You either have to dry that off or vape on soggy water vapes until you get the new flavour.

I think it's a disposable CE4, and whilst they can sometimes be quite good, mostly they short-lived and not great VFM.

I started with the re-juve, same thing with disposable ce-4's, they can be decent but the dry hits can be nasty. I tried cleaning them for a while, but lasted a very short time. I would switch to a replaceable bottom coil clearo, no burnt hits(rarely)

Thanks for the response. Are you saying I should just vape on the empty clearomizer to get the soggy water off? Isnt' that called dry burning?

Let them dry on their own, can work for a little while, but mainly you just toss them out. I bought the kanger evod with replaceable bcc's much better for me. You can buy BCC's for your setup with replaceable coils, and if you are so inclined, you can try rebuilding them or just buy replacements. You can then remove the coils and clean them. Check out pbusardo videos on you tube, the guy shows you EVERYTHING! great videos!

I would not try dry burning them, they can only be rinsed and let dry. You will burn the silicone in the clearo

You wouldn't vape whilst dry burning, but you can dry-burn the coils on almost any Silica clearomizer. The trouble with CE4 is that you could also melt the silicone cap.
There is a girl on youtube who did it. To me, it was just Voodoo. I tried it and failed.

Well I dry burned it like an idiot and replaced the liquid and now it barely hits. I'm not getting any smoke even after a 6-8 second pull. I think I'm just going to buy a new vape cause I'm not very satisfied with this one. Or maybe a new clearomizer

I ended up buying the kanger evod, I think I paid around 50$. 2 batteries, 2 clearo's and charging unit. I have been very satisfied for now, problem was I ended up walking out with 40$ worth of juice too! But I love it for an entry level kit!
