Vision Clearomizers

[Suzicube]

I love the clearomizers and never really liked direct dripping or those cartridges with the poly fill. I'm having a couple of problems.

One, the cost. They are about $5.75 a piece which is about the same as a pack of cigarettes. Now I've been cleaning them but I hate that after you clean them a few times they just seem to get to the point where they don't work. Puffs of vapor instead of clouds and no TH. I've found if you keep them full then the wicks don't get as burnt or brown as fast so I've been doing that.

When I clean them there is the o-ring that is on the mouthpiece which I've managed to keep track of but I've also noticed there is also a thinner o-ring inside the clearomizer itself and ineveiteabley it gets disengaged from the clearomizer and ends up in the thing floating around. I fish it out but it's ruined. Is that why it stops working?

Is there anyway to test them to see if they are still working before filling them up with juice? Such a waste of money to fill it up, use it for a few minutes and then realize that it's toast. The juice you can salvage isn't much as the wick has soaked up much of it. Easier to just toss it out.

So while I love the clearomizers, this habit isn't really saving me money.

I tried the tanks but refilling those end up with a big juice mess all over. The initial fill is great but refilling sucks.

Tips? My tank broke all over my work desk and I had nothing to replace it that day since the clearomizer wasn't working either. Had to go buy a pack of smokes.

I usually get a 6 to 12 weeks from one not too bad for under $6.00.They are a little leaky but not a deal breaker ,just have to wipe them off every so often.I would say if you are not getting several weeks from one you need to find another eliquid.I have had some liquids which carbon an element up in a day .The orings should stay put ,never heard of anyone having problems with those,a little liquid will lube them up so they don't bunch up during assembly.You don't have to fill them all the way up to try them out or you can use an ohmeter to check for proper resistance before filling.You might consider a Vivi Nova ,has the same gudgeons but is rebuildable ,a new element/wick assy. is about $2.50 and you can try different resistances.

Will those work on my ego-t?

If you don't like the bulkiness of a full sized tank, you could always get the Vision Vivi Nova Mini. That works just fine on all my eGo batteries.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Stardust/CE4 when you say, "clearomizer"? If so, I've never had a problem with the O-ring, but because of the wick holding onto the flavor of whatever juice I used, to me they're a one trick pony and I only use one flavor per CE4. With the T2 changeable coil, I just rinse it out, stick a new atomizer in and go for it.

Looks like the one on gotvapes.com as a short wick. the ones I'm using has a long wick. Is gotvapes.com a reputable supplier? How are their juices?

I've ordered several things from them and had good results but I've never tried their e-liquids. My main sites for e-liquids these days is EC Blend. They have so many delicious flavors, and their customer service is great! Just today I made a huuuuge order...
