CE5- Update. Refilled, started leaking and ended up dumping juice all over the dongle. NO, I didn't over fill it, it started spitting juice (yuck, don't like hot juice in my mouth), then leaking and just got worse. DON"T use these on your rockets!!!!

Hmmm, might be time to dig out and charge an eGo battery then...

Sounds like something your doctor needs to know about! ;)

I was thinking it was part of a song perhaps...

Mornin guys... first, my new Rocket is working fabulously. I won't be using anything that has even a hint of a leak on it though. The CE5 did leak a bit overnight. I'd left it attached to my Epower and there was a bit of juice in the connector.. not a lot, though. I've gone through two tankfulls on it and it's still working really well. I hope someone finds a way to clean these things.

100% vg not a good test for leaking, that stuff is thick. I'd guess you'd see much more leaking with 100% pg.

As many people use 100% vg it's still good to test it for wicking issues and if it leaks as bad as mine did with 50/50, thicker juice will only mean a slower leak.

Hi, guys, just a quick pop-up in this thread - life has been totally nuts in the past few days, but not in a bad way.

Got my vape-mail yesterday. You know, this would fit really well into the old Batman show music (for those old enough to remember - hey, I learned my English from that show! :shock: :facepalm:)

Vape-maaaaaaaaail!
Vape-maaaaaaaaail!
Vape-mail, vape-mail, vape maaaaaaaail!

Well, ya know. :D

Got Hush - love it. Totally. Got the CE5. It hits great so far - huge vapor, really nice flavor, no dry hits. No leaking so far, but thanks for the heads-up. Will keep it on a paper towel between vaping to check for it.

cheer everyone, be back in the evening, hopefully...

Third tank on the Ce5 and it's still working great. There might be a little less vapor/flavor but I'm not really sure. First tank of Strawberry Cheesecake (70pg/30vg) was perfect, second tank of Hush (70/30) was also really good, though I'm not familiar with how that particular juice should taste.

This third tank is accidentally a big test of the product. It's been a while since I've vaped anything with this type of plastic and I put some 80/20 lemonade in there. So far it hasn't cracked but the plastic is fairly cloudy. When shaken, this juice turns cloudy and opaque, so that might be why. I'll update you all if something changes.

On another note, has anyone noticed the new dongle getting gritty? It's really strange because this doesn't happen with other shiny metal batteries I have. I'll hold it and the finish gets some sort of greasy/gritty coating that I have to wipe off. I don't do anything differently with it than other batteries. I put my lanyard on it so it doesn't fall into my lap and I usually carry my other batteries on my lanyard. It's just strange. It's easy enough to wipe it off. Maybe it's some sort of juice residue from the vapor? I don't exhale on it or anything like that.

Not a deal breaker, but an oddity for sure.

Cleaned my leaked on Rocket again, and it is still cycling through all the numbers an not firing.

Others who have had this...will it ever recover? Or is it RIP?

Dog gone it.... you asked after my crystal ball was already broken :D


Seriously though.... I've seen other posts that indicate it can go either way but most seemed to be bad... so really only trying it a few times, perhaps trying to clean it again could make the difference .... or it could be a waste of time and really no one can say with any certainty either way

Rcvd my vapemail Monday, after ordering on Friday (excellent and quick). Filled up the CE5 with GV Stripes (love this juice by the way). Attached it to an old 1000mah eGo bat. Very nice, warm, strong TH right off the git go. However, after three draws, noticed a huge drop in the fill capacity. Then, crap, handful of juice. Was leaking out of bottom bat connection of CE5. Took it off of the bat, dumped the rest out. Filled again with some juice I don't care for (70/30 pg/vg). Not as bad, but still leaking from bat connection. Ok, so before going to bed last night, refilled and set the CE5 in a glass sitting upright. This morning, no leakage. Put it on a different eGo left for work. Vaped on it this morning. Still leaks, but not as bad. Draw is pretty stiff, but still a very nice, strong satisfying vape. I like it a whole lot better than the reg Stardust as far as TH, taste and warmth. Trying it now on the Provari at 4.2, and still leaks from bat connection. Bummer, as I really like this unit.
