I have only used one type before think it was vision 3 with short wicks but it died in 5 days.Looking for a longer lasting type that is cheap with long wicks.I only use boge lr cartos now because of the one clearomizer not lasting and wouldnt mine using clearomizers if they last longer and I could pick up 3 or 4 at a time without spending to much.

There are so many on the market, it is hard to know exactly what you are looking for. It sounds like you want the ego/stardust type clearo. I'm not entirely familiar with those. I have used the Phoenix bottom coil clearos. They are reasonable and last a good while with cleaning and dry burning. The vivi novas are a little more expensive but last and are rebuildable, or you can replace the heads cheap too.

I get all my clearos from GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more. They kinda specialize in clearos, are always on top of the latest and greatest updates, and only sell top notch original products, no knockoffs. They do have ego type clearos, too.

IME best and cheap are mutually exclusive when it come to a lot of things but for clearo's I think it is very true. For the money I prefer the VIVI nova's because they are less apt to crack of melt. They are rebuildable or repairable depending on how far you wan to take it. I have had 4-5 clearo's and the ones that still work are all Vivi's except one and I am careful not to use caustic juice it that. They do make repariable CE's i have one last CE5 of unknown mfg. Nice thing about the vivi is that if you stick with one brand you can get the heads and tanks for them. Most if not all of the tanks are interchangeable between brands the heads are not on some cases. You can also pick what ohms you want from 1.8 to 2.?.

Thanks guys! :) I dont really need something that I have to clean and change the heads.Really I guess Im looking for something I can just toss like a boge carto when its done.I want one that will last me close to a week and a half or longer and is lower resistance and If I could buy say 4 or 5 at a time and not spend a whole lot say like 15 bucks for 4 or 5 would be great .I vape on a twist and a vv ego at 4.6 to 4.8 most of the time and Im getting ready to pick up a itaste mvp and will be vaping at same .

Definitely try the Phoenix bottom coils then. The fluxos are also decent, I rate phoenix top coils behind them. The bottom coils are my favorite for the disposables though. And they are easy to clean and dry burn to get a little more life from them if you want. Watch the video on the product page if you are interested. Around 12 minutes. Chris shows how to clean them.

$11.95 for 5 of them.

The amount of time a clearo coil will last really depends on the juice you vape, and certain flavors will gunk up the coil quicker than others. To get a clearo to last 10 days maintenance free without degraded performance would probably require using flavorless juice, but I don't have experience in that area to say for sure. I do know that even with my light fruit flavors, I can only get 3 to 4 days of sustained use from a coil before it needs to be cleaned.

As for cheap, I don't think you'll be able to do better than the ViVi Nova (or mini), Vision 2.0, or Kanger T2/T3 clearos right now. The replaceable heads run about $2 to $2.50 and being able to remove them does make it easy to do some light maintenance. Even if you don't want to dry burn, then just rinse them in warm water between fill-ups and that should give you some extended life. With the low price of the heads, you could probably treat them as disposable and still come out ahead over the non-replaceable Stardust (CE4+) series.

I hope this helps.

I have used the stainless steel tank replacement cartos alone with a tip when I was in a hurry to go somewhere and didn't want to load a tank. I have to keep it wet sure but it's cheap and they vape great. Go ahead and get Pyrex tank. You use those over and over with those cartos and you dont have to worry about craking or flimsy pieces coming wpart. There is a bit of a learning curve but a lot of people are doing it successfully. Learn to make the little holes with a very good carto punch. I load my ss replacement cartos properly( good and soaked but not flooded) and test before I fill a tank. They vape great like that. You can return DOAs. I recently bought a ohms tester $15.00, to test cartos My average is about 1 out of 12'or more that are DOA. I Use smoktech but I stiL try others so maybe find some I like better. With the carto punch you can just replace the screw every now and then that punches the hole so to keep a sharp one in. Sharp and small hole is important. The laser drilled are more expensive. Buy in quantity the price drops. Its just a learning thing, an initial investment then smooth sailing for years to come. That's what I think about it. Oh And The kanger T 2 gets my vote and the t 3 is fine too. Very solidly made. Just don't " hot box " it. I used to do that with cigarettes too.

You don't have to clean the heads, you can replace them and toss the heads, similar to a carto. Unscrew the tank, twist off the old head, twist on the new head, screw tank bank on.

Seen them for at most $3 and you can get 5 packs for a bit cheaper and they have various resistances.

I've seen CE4s (disposable) for $3.50.

Oh my bad thought they filled by syringe thanks :)

Ah, I see where you got confused on that. The ViVi Nova, Vision 2.0 (CE5), and Kanger T2/T3 clearos all fill right from the juice bottle. Just remove the tip, tilt a bit to one side, and drip the juice into the tank. The exception being the T3 since it's a bottom coil and you have to remove the base (coil), but it's the same principal.

I like the look of the vivi nova mini ,how will this look on my twist and on the itaste mvp and whats the best deal on one of these.Do these tend to leak at all around the bottom part where you unscrew to change the heads ? I want something thats fairly hassle free and I had a dct tank before and that thing was a nightmare to deal with.
