Upgraded Clearomizers...any better?

[Snag]

Are the longer wicked sturdier clearomizer all they were hoped to be? Still cracking from acidic juice? Are they still positionally challenged?

Snag, I have been told that the longer wick clearo's also have a better tank material. Some of the names I have read are: EgO Vision v2 (version 2?), CE4, and CE4+. I was looking at Smokteks clearomizers...I wrote them and they said they have not had anyone complain about cracking from juices. I'm gonna buy from them next week....

I couldn't tell you about the cracking issues since I don't use citrus or cinnamon juices, but I can tell you that the new version wicks better with 50/50 juice. I've been using them all week and I haven't had to tip them at all to get just about all the juice to wick, with no dry hits so far. Other than that, performance is about the same as the previous version, which has always been very good for me.

Glad to hear the new design is working out. Now we just need some feedback from the cinnamon juicers...anyone?

JMO but the phoenixs are the freaking best i ever used new plastic too so it wont crack as easily

Sounds good to me. But, we cant all be satisfied. Anybody have some negative input on these?

I have been using the Phoenix XL in 2.6, 2.8 R and out of 6 only 3 work. When they work they are fabulous, but my problem is the wicks are burnt to a crisp after a couple puffs and only at 3.7 v. So I have been having problems. But I do have two going well right now, even refilled the one no problem. But aaack, 50% duds is not good! I will try the lower R ones and see if they are any better. bnrk

I'm using the Fluxomizers, which are supposed to be a similar plastic as the CE4+. Hasn't cracked with the pineapple juice that cracked my Vision stone tanks.

I can't comment on the cinnamon/citrus cracking as I don't use either...but the "positionally challenged" part is definitely fixed. I prefer to vape with my PV vertical rather than horizontal and it consistently wicks juice just fine. I agree with BuGlen though, it does wick 50/50 better. My 40/60 juice works...but there is a noticeable difference IMO.

Overall, I've been very happy with my eGo Vision V2's.

the longer wicks take forever to dry if you're just trying to give them a rinse between flavors.

Do you actually wait for them to dry? I just pat mine down with a paper towel and it takes about 10 puffs to burn enough water out to where you don't taste it. That's with a Fluxomizer, so they might have a little smaller diameter wicks, but they're long and not that small.

Or... With all these good reports, were you just trying to find some flaw to even things out a bit?

I let one dry overnight, but it was still pretty wet the next day. When I tried to puff away the water there was a lot of crackles and pops and it cracked the casing a tiny bit at the bottom. Still usable but I'm afraid to do that again. I have no problem puffing off the water of the short wicks.

I tried to clean a v2 the other day. I only have 2, and I am afraid to try to remove the plastic tank from the base. IF I could get it apart, I could pat dry the longer wicks...but...I am afraid...lol
