I bought 4 of them and all 4 sucked! Sure the idea is great but they just don't work. I vape 65 pg 35vg or 70 pg 30 vg and I get dry hits at anything over 3.4V and even under that they are scratchy hits. Even if I could get enough TH and vapor at 3.4V the taste is god awful!!! I can handle the ce2 muted flavor but every juice I tried in these turned to a chemical poison! I tell you that whatever is leaching out of these cant be good for you. I just don't understand why these are so popular :unsure: Only thing I can come up with is they are new and after the dust settles more will agree with me. I will stick to dripping until my Line V2 arrives.

Sorry to hear that, I was having the same problem with everything else. This is the first Clearo. that really works for me. Unlike most others, you have to make these wick yourself by tipping them and puffing a few times, then they are good to go(there is a mod for this on youtube). I can't talk about flav. because I just gave them up (making me sick). I find the TH to be great (almost as good as my dripping):unsure:

PS I Use about 90%PG and 10%VG.

I haven't had that same experience. I've taken them up to 4.4 on my provari, that is about as high as I'll go with them though. I find the flavor a little muted, that is a definite but I don't get dry hits or bad flavor at all. I don't OMG love them to the point that is all I will use but they are working pretty well for me. I use them on my KGO too and on that device I find the vapor a bit too cool for my tastes but I don't get a chemical tone to my juice.

I initially only got 2 and ordered 2 more from a later batch thinking it was just a bad batch but who knows my luck they all 4 could have been bad :unsure: I am used to a 2.2 ohm atty at 4.8v so the 3.4 wasn't cutting it. I am serious that my beloved Bounty Hunter and Vapealicious juice snickerdoodle wasn't muted but turned into poison.

Loving them here in Canada. I got a couple from canvape and some juice from jugheads. They say they have a break-in period. I didn't even get to break the first one in, my step-son scooped it and he's loving it. I have been using the other for a week and it's great, a little light on the TH right now at 3.9 volts, but I expect it will improve. I love that it has a screw top so it doesn't leak at the top. When about 1/4 tank (which is small, anyway) the liquid will not reach the wicks when it is flat. It takes a conscious effort to keep it tipped back occasionally. Not a big problem.

It's been noted that the liquid gets darker and thicker (thinner pg seems to work best). The water evaporates from the liquid. Flavourings are darker than water and thicker than water so if some water evaporates, the liquid naturally gets darker and thicker. Don't worry, it's not burned or doing something funky.

I have a fistful of them on the way right now. canvape has them for $4.95. Couldn't pass that up and I'm not showing the one I have to anyone else until I get stocked up.

Keep your wick wet!

    If you like vaping @ 10 watts there is no way a Stardust can satisfy you (2.2 ohms @ 4.8 volts). They were not designed for that kind of vaping.
    If you have the SR Stardust back it down to 3.7-4.2 volts, and you will find it a pretty nice vape. If you bump the power higher than that it will taste like a dirty sweat sock.
    The whole volt - ohm curve that we are use to goes out the window with the Stardust. For example: same mod -same juice - same voltage a Boge carto that measures 1.9 ohms, and a Stardust that measures 3 ohms vape very close to the same.
