Problem with ce3 xl clearomizers

[Fishcakes]

Im having trouble with my ce3 xl clearomizers.... Every time i try to fill them they leak all over the place... I followed the directions correctly, take the cap thingy off and flip em upside down and stick the needle into the hole, then squeeze the liquid in slowly....then i get liquid all over my hands. Did i just get some bad ones? I tried this on two different ones....

I gave up for the same reason. Just could not get them to work right and it was not worth it once I got going. The good thing there are lots of other options. The same principle is applied in a Kanger t3 you might have better luck.

Honestly, im thinking about just ordering more tanks. I got two tanks with my starter kit and theyve worked flawlessly... Im just worried about my clove juice cracking them. Thats the reason i ordered the ce3s

Hi Fishy!

I imagine you got those at my suggestion. I'm sorry you're having trouble. Out of 15 (so far) I've had one epically fail, but it was right side up. Have you got all of the air out of the syringe when you fill it? Inside the CE3 is a vacuum. If there is air in the syringe when you push it, the negative pressure will likely blow the top back out.

BRB I'm off to look for SteelJan's video about them.

Okay - this video is long, but has filling info. SteelJan has a lot of great videos, she even has some about making your own mod.

I like the CE3s because they're small. Other little clearos (CE4/5/insert current version), won't fit on my mod. If you like the vivi type tanks, you can always get a metal tube so the juice won't crack it. Or a small polypro tank.

Hey ocelot!
No dig beal. However, i didnt get the air all the way out( a few tiny bubble were still in there) so ill try again. Im off to try again!

 

[Fishcakes]

Tired again and made sure i got all the air out of the syringe, but still had leakage

 

[Fishcakes]

Thanks, i may just go for the polypro(i like to see how much liquid i still have left in there)

I really like the CE3's I have only had on bad one out of 7 that I have used so far. I did have one leak some when I was filling it and I believe it was due to adding a little too much juice. When filling I fill to the ring just under where the wicks are when it it upside down, that seems to be the sweet spot that I have found. One other note if refilling make sure to either let the juice run down away from the wicks or shake it down otherwise the pressure from filling will push out the juice around the wicks.

With the clearmizers you avoid getting juice IN the hole/

So... After watching the video and being assured that im doin it right, i tried one more time... And go figure, fourth times the charm i guess. Haha. And i am now suckin on sweet cloves... Guess i just got a bad batch?

Glad it worked out for you, happy vaping.

Glad it's working! I now have about 12 of these little critters full of different flavors that I can switch around until I like one well enough to put in a tank.

Bad batch? Are you kidding? Impossible! These tiny pieces of plastic are hand-made, one at a time, by Chinese children who sometimes go blind making sure the air hole is centered. Each one is a work of art....

If you hold them up to a light they often have interesting defects in the plastic. I had one I was sure was cracked, but it was apparently just a scratch since it hasn't leaked.

 

[Fishcakes]

Thanks. Ill give them all one more try then chuck em. Honestly i dont even care too much if all but one turned out to be bad. Im just happy as hell to be able to vape my cloves! Thanks for all the suggestions. And ocelot, as always, thanks for lookin out for me, your input has been more helpful conventionally and confidence wise than you can imagine

I went to vivi nova mini's to avoid the ce3 leaking issue myself .

I went to vivi nova mini's to avoid the ce3 leaking issue myself .

But the issue here was using something that wouldn't run the risk of being damaged by clove and other flavors. The only current option for that with a vivi is to get a metal tube, but you can't see the juice level.
