I have been seeing a lot of people talk and vendors sell CE2 CE4 CE6 and so on yet I can't seem to find any information on what the CE stands for or what is the difference between the numbers behind CE.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you but that is something that I have been wondering for a while
Not sure exactly what CE stands for, but the number is the version. So the higher numbers are the newer versions. But they can be completely different. A CE5 has wicks and a replaceable head. The new CE8 doesn't have wicks.
I am not 100% sure on what the CE part stands for - just assumed it was the initials for clearomizer - hopefully some others know. The numbers however denote the version of the atomizer - as they version up. I never used a CE3 so i am not sure what the differences are between the CE3 and 4 but I know the 5 was when it became an atomizer you could take apart to clean it and replace the head as needed.
I know there were other slight design and coil changes, some very small, as you go up in numbers and one number (9 perhaps?) has a dual coil instead of a single one.
There are many video's on YouTube with reviews and how to's on CE's of all numbers where the intricacies and differences are discussed and demo'ed, and well reviewed on how they work and the different experiences one can get from one to another. Just searching there for CE4, CE5 and so on will get you a long list of videos you can watch about them.

CE stands for Cleotis Edwards
Rumor has it he is the chinese man that invented the cleromiser.....

Cleotis Edwards...well that's interesting...learn something new everyday.
As for the numbers, welcome to confusion.
CE3 is a smaller bottom coil that holds approx 1 mil, and usually requires a needle to fill.
CE4 (sometimes called the Stardust) is a top coil with wicks that holds approx 1.6 mil...remove the top and pour in.
CE5 same as the CE4 except you can take it apart for cleaning or changing the wick/coil.
I get lost after 5.
But, I have seen CE4+....I have seen CE5 version 1, version 2, version 3, 2.0 yada, yada. I have seen short wicks, long wicks, no wicks. So when it comes to CE# it seems to depend on the vendor, or manufacturer as to what number they assign to what clearo. At least that's my experience.

Cleotis Edwards doesn't sound Chinese, he sounds like a moonshiner in Tennessee.
He was also a French Model. It's true because you saw it on the internet.
CE3 is a bottom coil fill with a syringe filll.
CE4 is a top coil long wick but NO on the replaceable heads. No syringe needed
CE5 & 6 are top coil long wick that DO have replaceable heads. No syringe needed
I haven't used anything past 6 yet
The first ce cartomizer was called the ce2 and it simply stands for cartomizer edition 2. It was the first cartomizer without poly fill. Each additional number added afterwards is merely a revision on the original design.
Hey if anybody is interested in getting some CE4's, I was browsing through E-bay and I found these CE4 Clearomizer Cartomizer Tanks Lot of 5 USA Seller | eBay I tried them and they were pretty great! Came with 5 too
Bingo. I think we have a Winner.
Actually, this Isn't Exactly true.
The First "CE" was the CE2. But there was a Filler-Less Design that Pre Dated the CE.
The First Filler-Less style Cartomizer was the E2. It was made by MiT (Microcig Technologies) and sold by RS (Royal Smokers). It can't be called a Clearo because it Never came with a Clear Tube.
Here is what some called "The Big Thread" back then.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...13951-e2-cartomizer-technical-discussion.html
It is Wild to Read because Concepts like the Dry Burn were hatched in that Thread by a Core Group of Individuals. So much of what goes into a Modern "Clearo" was Discussed or Invented in that Thread. As well as this one.

Which was a Follow on to the "Big Thread" when the CE2 Rev"4" hit the Market.

Depends on what the 'CE' logo looks like.
In most if not all vaping related products CE = China export or excrement, with their safety and QC standards really it is the same thing.
It is used as marketing tool by Chinese manufacturers to fool people into believing their products meet actual EU CE standards.

CE2/CE3 - There's not much going on here. CE2 is top coil, CE3 is bottom coil. Only hold 1 mil of juice, though some manufacturers offer them in larger capacity. I've never used either, because I've heard the new CE2's aren't very good and I hate using a syringe to fill anything so the CE3 is right out.
CE4 - The eGo clearomizer, often re-branded. The Volt X2 clearo is a CE4, as are the Crystal Vision cartos at NHaler and the I-Turbos at other vendors. And on and on and on... 1.4 ml capacity, more or less. They're not easily rebuildable, if at all. The original ones were press-fit together, but I've heard some manufacterers actually glue the whole thing together now.
CE4+, V2, V3, CE5 - Same design as the CE4, only the heads are replaceable in the same manner as the Vivi Nova. They can be rebuilt the same way, too.
CE5 (6-9) - ??? ...Profit! Mountain Oak Vapor, I think, has what they call a "wickless" CE5. If you're familiar with the Vision Nano, it's very similar on a larger scale. No visible wicks, solid tube with 1 or 2 holes in it with the wick and coil inside.
Keep in mind, most of this is based on observation only. I've only ever used the CE4/CE4+(++) models, and there is a ridiculous amount of vendor and manufacturer confusion when it comes to anything above the CE3. And some even attempt to obfuscate the older CE2/CE3 models.
Just to note, I did not write this, It was something that I copied and pasted a while back. i Copy stuff to a file that I find educational for me. Author was Jonnieprice. Thanks to Jonnie.

This is what I posted in the Thread were you got the CE_ Breakdown.
Good question. If anybody ever decides on what they mean, somebody let me know.
No, seriously, I can't find anybody being consistent with them. It's basically a version number for clearomizers. But which means what... oh boy. Also, not everybody uses them.
Such as, based on this photo:
I use CE4+ but my vendor calls them "Vision Stardust 2.0 Rebuildable".
Um... 'kay.
Near as I can tell, CE4 is where they went to replaceable coil heads. And the "+" means longer wicks. And the CE5 has the wick inside a metal tube with holes drilled into it. Though I can find references to a CE4 v3 that look like what others call a CE5. So... huh? Not to mention, I just found the CE4+ called a "v3 CE5" which is even more confusing.
Vaping is all pretty new. I understand the first patent of a viable commercial device only showed up around 2003. Then they hit the US about '07 (ish?). And folks who've been around far longer than I have say the devices we have now are drastically different than what first arrived. It's all moving pretty fast.
But don't feel bad about being confused. Apparently even the manufacturers don't agree on what the numbers mean!
I unnerstan he contracted for several companies in Shenzhen but was last seen browsing Alibaba and hasn't been heard from since...
