Ce4 Clearomiser Costs

[whirlybird]

As I'm really liking the CE4 clearomisers that SteffiJade sent me, I thought I'd get a few more (I'm rapidly discovering you simply can't have too many bits of vaping kit!), but a wee while on google is throwing up a huge range of prices from £2.50 all the way up to £8.99 and beyond for 1!

Before I go ahead and buy the cheapest ones, I thought I'd plunder the collective knowledge of POTV and double check that the cheap ones aren't hooky, or nasty fakes that are going to be a disappointment. Should I grab them or avoid like the plague?

There are some bad fakes out there, when it come to stuff like wick wire etc ebay is ok. I dunno but I can say I wouldn't take the risk sometimes you get the quality the price says contrary to that you can sometimes get great deals on ebay. Don't think I've been much help but thought I would let you know how I see it.

I have bought a multitude of CE4's from several different vendors, and had varying results. Some have be down right poor, and some have even been dead on arrival, but the one place where I have purchased them, and had no issues at all is Vaper Train, they have lasted the longest too. They are certainly not the most expensive I have found. £3.95 minus 10% discount, is the best solution in my personal opinion

Hi whirleybird the problem you'll encounter with almost any clearo regardless of the vendor is that some are good and some are bad. In the past I've bought multiple clearos from the same vendor with varying results. The problem with most hardware parts in the vaping world is the inconsistency. After time you just learn to live with it and the simple fact is that vaping is a modern way of life that has not evolved over many, many years and neither have the manufacturers so what you generally buy are products that are sold without the much needed testing period. That said, after time you also realise that a lot of the problems are with the user and not the hardware itself. For example, I've seen countless posts about the Kanger T2 for example tasting 'burnt' and with constant 'dry hits' the majority of these problems can be eliminated with a simple 'amendment' to the way they are used or just tipping and swirling often. I for one am a HUGE fan of the iclear30 - it doesn't seem to matter how I vape one I always get a consistent vape without any problems. As cobra3164 said you generally do get what you pay for and for a 'clearo' these are not cheap. Only about a fiver cheaper than a decent AGA and in my opinion the AGA is the best all rounder out there but of course is not as easy to work with unless you know how. I hope this info has been of help - all the best, Soldier Blue.

Thanks for the replies guys, that's what I was thinking but just wanted to check with the more experienced!

I'll head over to Vaper Train and have a nosy, thanks for the tip Andy, and I'll also bear the Agas in mind, although I think I'd prefer to work my way up to those!

This is some good advice. As a shop, we have a constant flow of CE4s coming in and selling, however we do get people coming back after a day telling us that it simply stopped working. One person even came back with one and claimed it shorted out her battery, when we tried it the same thing happened. The problem is sometimes with the kit and not always the fault of the vendor, but some have been known to sell faulty/cheap kit. The best advice would be to find a local supplier who you can see for help if something goes wrong and have a returns policy. Nothing is more frustrating than having something go wrong and have to pay again, especially in cases such as it shorting out a battery (Luckily we know it was one of ours as she was a regular customer so there was no problem in exchanging it for a new one).
