I am 2 weeks into being off "analogs" and into "vaping". I have been pleasantly surprised what an easy transition it has been to the point of trying an alaog the other day and did not like the dry harsh smoke I was getting. I am using a X2 with CE3s. A couple questions I have I can not find an answer for are:

How long does a CE3 last and when do I know its done, when do I know to clean it?

What are the major diferences between using a CE3 and a Clearomiser?

What is the new delivery system I keep reading about (T-3) have that makes it different and when is it available?

Ce3 last a long time. I usually toss after a month of everyday use, but they will last longer. When it stops producing vapor its done. I usually don't even clean mine unless I am changing flavors. If you use dark or thick juice, you may need to clean it more often.

The main difference between the ce3 and clearo is that the ce3 is bottom coil and the clearo is top coil. The ce3 produces more vapor.

The T3 is like a clearo but will be bottom coil with larger tank. Time on cleanings and life of use will vary tremendously with juices used, how you vape.

Check out the other stickies at the top of this forum for additional help, but never hesitate to post a question, we're very glad to help! :D

p.s. the clearos don't need a syringe to fill

The latest I've seen is that the T3s were shipping as of Thursday, I think. That would put them on the website, probably, before next weekend.

I'm a big fan of the CE3, too. I do clean mine a little more often than MrOutlaw does though. It's a function of the liquids I'm using. I like RY4 which has sugar and caramel in it, so it gets kind of dark and sludgey at the bottom. The ones I use RY4 in I flush out before every refill. The ones I use "lighter" liquids in, like just tobacco flavors, I flush out when the mood hits me. They do last a long time and I'm still using some I bought in mid July nd I use about 40 a week. When they get to the point of lower vapor output I take them apart, outer barrel off, air tube off, and soak them in vodka for a few days. Then I use a small, really small, brush on the coil to get most of the gunk off and they work for a while after that as well. I'm currently experimenting with a few that "died", low vapor output and muted or bad flavor, in an effort to bring them back to life (I'm cheap and admit it :) ).

A complete tear down, cleaning, re-assembly and refill of 15 to 20 doesn't take me more than an hour. I do have the time to spend and can appreciate being too busy to have that time. If you just flush them out with a couple of syringes full of hot water, that doesn't take long at all, a lot less time than cleaning a standard cartomizer to be sure.

As my experience with the CE3 got longer, I have started using a 10ml sysringe to rinse them with. I fill them, the CE3s, with water then pump te water through until no more water somes out. I do that three or four times per CE3 and also, gently, pump water through from the battery end and stronly from the mouthpiece end. You do need to be careful pumping water from the battery end because I think you could literally "blow" the coil out of the CE3. I did do that to a clearo so I am careful with te CE3 when doing that.

It comes down to some do nothing but vape from them, others just rinse with water, and some go for the gold. It's all up to what you want to do. I just rinse my stuff out with water sometimes I soak them if I'm in the mood to.

That's about it. As one vaps, they can see what everyone else has done and then do as they want. I personally soak them in water over night. Then when they start getting low on vapor i soak them overnight in coke.

I am thinking i may not vape as much as others.only 1 to 2 mls per day. I have 5 ce3s that i fill every other day.
