switching and transfering e-juice.

[sivo]

Ok, so i have a kanger T3 full of juice, but i don't like the kanger. is there any way to transfer the juice from the kanger to my vision v2 clearomizer? also, when you guys run out of juice in a clearo, and want to put a different kind, what do you do? do you rinse the clearo and put the new one?

been looking for answers for this for a while today and cant find anything on it. thanks

I keep my juice in bottles with a needle head, so I can suck back most of the juice if I have a problem like that.
I have just poured out liquid back in the bottle by screwing off the bottle cap as well.
And if I have vaped most of a liquid and want to change tastes, I usually don't rinse, but I've had problems with some juices mixing tasting horrible, so now I usually rinse and dry before a new liquid.

hmm, i thought about getting those needle head bottles. When you rinse do you rinse every part of the clearomizer? or just certain parts?

You can buy blunt tip needles and syringes online. You can also get medical syringes from any drug store in the diabetes care section.

If you use Ebay you can guy them there as well. Just ordered these for myself.

Thanks guys, but any word on rinsing clearos to change flavors?

Hi - I rinse clearos out well under the sink (when they are full of water I shake them, pour the water out and repeat a couple of times). Then I let them air dry. It may not get all of the taste/smell out if the liquid is strong (like coffee). If it doesn't, I look for a juice to put in that might complement the flavor I can't get out (I've amassed lots of juice). Others have more involved cleaning methods (like soaking in vodka), but I'm lazy. I also don't recommend dry burning a clearo. They are cheap little pieces of plastic and may not hold up to it.

I rinse every piece of the clearo and dry. I take the heating element and switch it with another one. Next time I change flavor I put the original heating element back in. Just keep switching them. This way I never have to wait for the element to dry. I don't prefer dry burning because of the risk of getting that burnt taste which has happened.

That only works if you have a clearo you can take apart. If it's something like a CE4, you can only rinse it out. If it's something like a CE3 (which I'm partial to), they are vacuum-sealed and can't be cleaned at all.

I rinse my clearos with HOT water about 5 times. Just put water in it, shake it vigorously, pour out and repeat. Then, I'll let it soak in some hot water for a bit. Then air dry. That's why its useful to have a few extras laying around. Between my boyfriend and I, we have 6 with a fee more in the mail. Happy vaping.

I don't worry too much about clearos lasting very long. What is the cost of a pack of cigarettes vs. a clearo?

Pack = $5.50
Clearos = $6-12, depending.

I definitely worry about them. I'm not too fond of mixing bad flavors, leaking, clogging or throwing money away. One reason we switched to vaping was to save money.

thank you very much, i took apart 2 clearos to rinse before, but i wasnt sure so i dropped the whole atomizer/head/wicks in the water and left them for a sec, after they seemed dry i tried a flavor and it tasted very bad and burnt for a minute but seems to have gone away. did i do it right with the atomizers? and the wicks? not sure on how to take those apart.

I don't pay that much for clearos, but I buy generic ones. I've found the unbranded ones work (or don't) just as well - sometimes better. Here are a couple of examples for CE4/CE5s:

I keep my eye out for sales by checking ECF "Deals & Steals" and Vapor Joe's blog.

Thank you for the links. we've got clearos from 3 different local B&M shops and they're all different and priced differently. No clue if they're Stardust or knockoffs. I only go through a 1.6 in a day/day and a half. So I like the smaller ones. Will check those out if my new ones that I'm waiting for aren't up to par.

What I've found is that if you let them soak with the new juice, for a good 10 minutes or so, it vapes better. I think when you get that funky, non existent taste at first - its still wet with water.

With the ones that come all the way apart (tube, wicks, atomizer), I take it all apart amend soak em. You did good.

I actually fibbed. I have a lot of CE4-type clearos, but I don't use them anymore, since they don't fit on my mod. I use CE3 XL which hold about 1.5ml of juice. I can get a 5 pack for $8.50, but while you can refill them, they are sealed and can't be rinsed out.

They will hit weird for awhile after cleaning, it takes a little time for the juice to get flowing to the wicks again.
