00MustangMom Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 My shop makes me get a new ce4 with every bottle of liquid. My question is, is this necessary? I generally get a new bottle every 2 weeks or so, and the clearomizer seems fine to me so why throw it out and spend money on a new one? Any thoughts/experiences for me? Thanks. I'd like to save the extra $6+ dollars if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Depending on what type they are selling, the V2 and V3 are rebuildable. But no it is not needed to replace every two weeks as long as you are getting good flavor and vapor out it. 00MustangMom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptStuBeans Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 i love the rebuildable ones. That said - here's a good vid on cleaning your ce4 if its not rebuildable.

00MustangMom Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks so much! The video especially was very helpful as I'm a noobie and was trying to find an even more inexpensive way to vape. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECPMIKE Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 No need to get a new one if its still working for you just keep them clean and replace the coils once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mischi3vous Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 LOL..even better way to clean them, my hubby filled his with 151 and let them soak for a bit then just rinse them out. I imagine that any alcohol would work, I've also heard that if you can get it Everclear is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleron Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 If you are using non rebuildables like I am my vendor told me as long as the white cap inside is not gray and the wicks are ok then no, you don't need a new one. If you start getting a burnt taste you may have to dispose of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptStuBeans Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I take my rebuildables apart, rinse thoroughly, and soak in a cup of rubbing alcohol for a few days along with my non-rebuildables. I have tried the same with vodka, but find the rubbing alcohol to work a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00MustangMom Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 I tried drying it out like in the video above but it was taking forever, so I got impatient and just blew it out with my hairdryer and that seemed to work just fine too (and faster!). Now it's working fine for me, I'm using it again and it's working like new. I'm glad there's not just one way to get something done around here, I guess the motto is "as long as it works, it works." daleron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I cleaned and dry burned two of my Stardusts last night, but now I have hardly any vapor and they both taste burnt. I shook out as much water as I could before I started the dry burns, but it took abouit 15 minutes each before the coils started glowing red. For each burn I had to hold the power switch so long that the power switch started flashing before any "smoke" came out. What did I do wrong?

mbk567 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I think it should last one month minimum. The people i know that clean them out and dry them completely between flavors say they go between 1-2 month. I like ce4 and ce5 but i think more people will switch to t2 and other bottom wick atomizers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsaecignotapen1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 ive had them last 2 to 3 weeks before the vapor production went down, mostly use the ce5's now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
