One Newbie to Another

OK, after much trial and error (and 3 ruined clearomizers) and much reading and helpful suggestions here on ECF this is my plan of attack...

1: Test each new clearomizer put into use by filling, but not overfilling, it with Vodka from a syringe. Placing it on a papertowel to see if it leaks. If not, roll into service.

2: For cleaning used clearomizers in prep for changing flavors fill, about half way, with Vodka from a syringe, replace mouthpiece, shake well, place on papertowel to check for leaks. No leaks, reuse; leak, pitch...

3: Filling Syringes -- fill only with syringe! This is to avoid getting any liquid in center column. Don't know about you, but my nerves just aren't good enough any more to remain steady enough to 'always' avoid hitting that center column or overflowing the liquid as it's being filled. Not overfilling the tank, just that the liquid, being somewhat thick, doesn't flow right down the side of the tank and will build up and flow 'over' the center column. Using a syringe avoids that problem.

Your mileage may vary (in fact I'm sure it will) but this is what I'm going to be trying to see if that solves my leak problems...

u should think about getting a bridgeless atomizer for testing flavors and use the clearos if u like them for one flavor each..

Welcome to the forum! I use Vivi Novas and Kanger T3 Bottom Coil Clearos. None of them have leaked so far.
Might think about trying them. Good Luck!

Filled the centre column once. D'oh.

I have three clearo's and have no leak problems. You might try turning it of and on again at the mains.

Oh wait..... that's the computer.

Welcome to ECF.

I only have 2 Stardusts. (non rebuildable) So far haven't experienced any leaking. I do clean them every time I switch juices, which is a hassle but then again that's why they're so cheap. You can buy a couple of them and not hurt your pockets. Cleaning them is pretty simple. I just use plain tap water to wash the old juice out but remove the rubber cap first so it's much easier to clean. Plus I can see the coil glow when I dry burn the gunk out. So far every time I've clean them, they go back to the way they were working when they were new. I know eventually I'll have to replace them but it's been a couple weeks now and they are working just fine. I thought they had to be replaced once a week. Not from my experience. I want to try out the Kanger T3, might order a couple tonite just to check what all the buzz is about.

Clearomizers don't fail easily. This doesn't seem normal.

Try the vivi nova tank. So easy and great taste

love my vivi's but they totally rob flavor imo - the convenience of em though keeps me using them.

vernhall - welcome to ECF.

You might consider Needle Tipped/Capped Bottles and do away with the syringes.

Wishing you good fortune with vaping!

What do you suggest for better flavor? I was thinking a kanger T3, but am not sure. I like the vivi because I can fill easy and flavor seems to be good.

If you're switching flavors, etc, this is worth every single cent. I thought it had gimmick written all over it, but it's absolutely positively proven me wrong:

You should get one of those HH.357 for tasting juices, they are one of the best dripping atomizers out there

These are not cheap but they last for a loooooong time

If you change flavors alot, I suggest dripping and maybe using the flavor Eraser from Fuzion Vapor, I havent used it myself yet but I've been told it works pretty good. I plan on ordering a bottle next week.
