To the fans or former fans of the ce8 clearomizer

[Fisheeboy]

I like the ce8 clearomizer and been using them for several months. I know there are a few others that like them also. To those of you who do like them, what other clearomizers have you found that you like more or WAY more than the ce8? I know there are plenty of folks that don't like the ce8 so I don't really need to hear about all of that. One of the things I like the most about the ce8 is it's longevity. If I could find something that doesn't need its coil replaced every 2-3 weeks I think I would be interested in that.
But mostly I would just like to hear from you fans of the ce8 and have you tell me what you think a better way to go is.
I will respect and take all other opinions into consideration.
I would just like to find something that works good and won't cost me an arm and a leg.

The numbering system of the stardust lost all meaning after 4. I thought CE5 was clear cut until I saw something different than a simple replaceable top coil called as such.

So what is the CE8 you are referring to?

lol same here, theres too many ce# to know whats what. my understanding is the ce8 is the ss mash coil one with a larger tank of 2ml compared to the 1.6ml in the ce4/ce5 ones. have you tryed the iclear 30s yet, heard mixed reveiws and waiting on mines comeing in the post. also some mt3s and kanger evods too, started to like the bottom coils clearomizers recently.

Rebuildables.

Rebuildables.

Seriously. Once you get over the slight learning curve and get some builds under your belt, you'll most likely never look back. I only use my clearomizers with my iTaste VV 3.0 when I absolutely positively can't carry anything larger with me. And that may soon change too, since there are rebuildables that are no larger than a clearomizer. Both my Cronus clone and my iTaste MVP 2.0 have had only RDA's on them for quite a while now.

I've pretty much settled on 2.0 ohm microcoils to use with my MVP -- 10 wraps of 30 gauge Kanthal around a 3/64" drill bit, wicked with cotton -- and I've been using the same build for well over a month now. Just need to replace the cotton when I accidentally let it get too dry and burn it. Less than a minute and it's back in action.

With my Cronus clone I've been replacing the coils quite often, but not because they needed to be replaced, merely because I wanted to try something different.

For just a few dollars you can have enough wire and wick to last years, and even the atomizer itself doesn't need to be expensive. I like drippers but there are also tank rebuildables if that's what you want.

Put simply, if low cost and longevity are your goals, there is no better choice than rebuilding.

You're exactly right, it's the one with the ss mesh. I will look into the iclear 30s and I've considered the evods. Thank you for you input

Even with the very little that I know about rebuildables I see that that is definitely where I want to be. And you make it sound simple. I love everything about the idea of rebuildables I just don't know where to start. I will investigate this Cronus clone you mention. I don't recall seeing that one mentioned in all that I have read. Hey, thanks man. I appreciate your input and encouragement. Low cost and longevity are the goals. And honestly I like things simple for the most part.

The Iclear30S is a very good clearo
Positive points include
.....very clean taste as close to a carto with the ease of a clearo
.....long lasting heads( mine have handled 80+ tanks with no maintenance on a non sweet clear peppermint)
.....rotatable drip tip
.....a very durable and non leaky tank
.....very high vapor production
Drawbacks include
.....hard to swap flavors
.....plastic tank (no tank crackers)
..... I find first half of first tank to be slightly muted in flavor
.....a bit of a juice hog

It is a great clearo for those who have found an ADV

Great review! Thank you very much! I will look into it more. I do have a few flavors that I can vape all day for several days in a row even but like lots of us here I also like rotating my flavor regularly.

For some reason the idea of a metal mouth piece seems unappealing. Any opinions?

I have found that about half of my driptips do fit the Iclear30S or you could do as my father does and place a friend tip (silicone like they use on tasters at vape shops )over the mouthpiece

I fill my Iclear30S 's with the flavors I use most frequently and use my protanks for the treat vapes( normally the boutique, higher priced ) juices that I rotate in and out
I am also really liking the Nautilus tank I got last week but as I have not had it long I hesitate to suggest it until I know how durable it ends up being and now easy rebuilding the coils ends up being.

Because the coils have proven to last VERY long for me on the Iclear30S the inability to be rebuilt does concern me as much

I do happen to have one of those. Do you dislike the metal drip tip?

 

[KjAthena]

I happen to like metal drip tips but I have a drip tip addiction and like to dress up my gear so I often swap tips and add charms. I even have one Iclear30S that I wrapped with silver hologram tape to match a spinner.

I'm still not sure how an RDA works. Would an RDA work with my iTaste vv 3 ? Or would I need a bigger setup like an MVP or something like that?

 

[Penn]

Most RDA's and RBA's I've seen have 510 connections so they will work with anything that has that type of connection or, as your vv probably is, ego since ego has 510 on the inside.

I frequently use an RDA on my vv. If you want to wrap your coil less than 1 ohm you would want to go with a mech. The reason for this is anything that has a circuit board will limit the current. Sub-ohm requires high current.

So just wrap the coils to be the same ohms your current setups use and drip away, it will still give better flavor than any clearo I've used.

Fantastic! Thanks for the help Penn.
