knowing the the T3 is not going to be available for a bit yet I decided to try the X2 clearomsier. I gota say that all the bad reviews I read on it has not come into play for me so far. I absolutly love it, looks, ease of fill, hit, there is nothing I do not like yet???

I like the clearomizers and bought 2 more with my last order of juice. Just don't over fill. I fill mine to about half way.

I'm with you BiXLL, I got my first X2 clearomizer about four weeks ago an since then have ordered more. Each of my X2 batteries have a clearomizer to call their own and my 78mm batts seem to have vanished to the case.

I have only noticed the "gurgling" effect on a few of them and apply some of the tips and tricks others have posted, and perfection! I do really want to try some of the T3's when they are finally okayed through QC and then make their way across the ocean, but till then I am patiently happy with the X2 Clearos and my X2 batts!

I have had 5 all filled (I fill to the top line) and in rotation for awhile. I guess a couple of them a month or a couple months I think - awhile anyway. :p And I read all the bad leaking reviews, too. So far I haven't had any trouble at all. All work great, no leaking.
Between the cartomizer, clearomizer and nano (I like all three) I think the clearomizer's the best flavor/TH/etc, too. And easy, easy to fill, refill.

the biggest reason for me to try these was that at least for me the CE3s were a bit of a crap shoot. I had them leak out the bottom and empty, and had them leak out the fill hole and give me a mouthful of liquid. Working 10 to 12 hours a day and only taking 1 spare carto if I got a leaker things got nervous for me so far as running out.

One spare cart only? :ohmy: I take 5 with me - in the little case SI sells. I like those cases, have 4. They're useful for a lot.
I use the 78s and carts at work and the x2 / clearomizers at home. I haven't had any leak on me yet but since the case bounces around in my purse I haven't tried taking a clearomizer with me yet. The 78s are more discreet out and about, too. And I take 5 - not because I use that many, but I'm prepared, besides I might be in the mood for a different flavor, then I have a choice during the day.

I totally agree! I love all three. The CE3's are too much work.

Another tip for the clearo's - if your liquid gets really dark. If you are using the same flavor, don't try to vape the dark stuff that collects over time. Go ahead and dump that 0.4ml's. Use a Q-tip around the threads where the tip screws in - then refill. It keeps the wicks from gumming up, and preserves the throat hit. Doing this means I don't have to clean them as much. I used to use water, alcohol, canned air, dry burn once a week. Now - every couple weeks.

I am really looking forward to the T3's, but I love these clearo's!

Thanks for the tips cody - I do have some dark juices that turn even darker at the end.

after using my X2 clearomisers for a week, I went back and used a CE3. I found the vapor production and throat hit to be much better with the CE3s. I am going to clean and soak my clearos and try them again. Any other tips for these to get a better hit off them?

If I have a thick dark liquid in my clearo, like mint chocolate, I rinse the clearo out after I've finished the liquid and let it air dry overnight. I do this every time to keep it from gunking up. So far I don't have any problems with vapor production, flavor or throat hit. Rotate or roll it around while you are vaping to keep the wicks wet and lay it down on it's side when you are not, at least that is what I do. Just a suggestion to try.

You didn't say how many clearo's you have but it's a good idea to have several so you can give each "a rest" between uses. Again... just suggestions. :)

I currently have 6 clearomizers in rotation: 2 filled (2 different flavors) that I'm vaping, 2 soaking, and 2 ready to use. One is still unopened in its wrapper. I only fill them 3 or 4 times before cleaning. That works better for me -- I don't really like doing the "dry burn" thing; I'm always afraid I'm going to burn the wick. I've found with more frequent cleaning, the dry burn really isn't necessary.

I like CE-3s, but they are just too airy for me. I heard that the new design has only 2 airholes as opposed to 4, so I may try them again. But I like the X2 clearos a lot, and you don't need a syringe to fill them.

BTW, I fill mine all the way to the top line, and I've never had a problem with leakage or gurgling. I have had the O-rings come out of 2 of them, but they still work okay, so I'm still using them.

Sadly, my blue one went in the trash. It never worked right -- wouldn't connect to the battery properly. I pushed the airtube down slightly, and it worked for awhile, but I was constantly having to push it down. My last push wasn't exactly straight, and I bent the airtube. Oh well ... overall, I am very, very pleased with these. So easy, no fiddling around with them. I like that a lot.

I hadn’t used an X2 clearo since I switched to CE3s in July, but just for the heck of it, I filled one this morning to give it another try. Good vapor and TH make it a very good backup, but it’s outdated. After using better clearos for the past few months, I could never go back. Ecig gear has improved a lot in the last year.
