was wondering how often people clean and dry burn their clearomizers ?
only when they start to taste bad or b4 then ?
 
Always best to get them before they taste bad. I got 2 weeks out of mine though before having to clean them.


Once a bad taste gets in there it might not come out.
 
thats what i wanted to know really :)
i got one starting to taste a bit funky, fingers crossed a clean will get rid of it.
2 weeks ? this a 4ml i been using on an off for about 3 days. its had about 9 or 10ml through it.
i cleaned a ce4 little while back, the ones with the short wick, it was vaping ok, but right after cleaning it it was 'orrible ?
why i get a bit reluctant to do it.
 
When you "clean" them, whatever method you choose, make sure they are really dry. Sometimes this takes a few days, or a few hours. All depends on the method you use.

Another thing is to make sure any wick/coil/filler is really good and soaked and probably leave it sitting for at least 15 mins before vaping.

I have some times gotten the horrible taste, but mostly when I am being impatient and I vape through it!


It all depends on vaping style. Me and the hubby can fill up a boge carto and his will last him 3 days tops, while mine is going for weeks if not more. I dont take long heavy drags though, so I put less strain on the coil and very rarely ever get a burnt taste.
 
I find it really depends on the juice. Some I can get away with nearly a week, others I only get a couple of hours. Chocolate and cola tend to burn in my ce2s. I've had some seriously gunned up ones before, with big crusts of gunk that needed scraping off and a good rinse in hot water, a good blow through and a dry burn has 9 times out of 10 has brought them back perfectly. I chuck them once the wick refuses to look clean after a good dry burn.
 
You CLEANED clearos?
I'm a tight arse, of course I clean them! I want to get value for money out of my equipment. We can't all be mr moneybags :D now cartos and atties are a different matter, which is why I don't use them!
 
I've started filling my visions with vodka for a few hours then rinsing with water and leaving them to dry for a few days, do this each time I empty one
 
i don't like our 'throw away' society. i'll try and get every last bit of use out of everything i buy.
i've got 2 clearo's left now and they got to keep going for a few days yet. 2 boge carts and if it comes down to it i got a few nicolite carts from when i was using the nicolite rechargable
they got a 510 thread so i can put a drip tip on, fill them up and use them on my howitzer or ego's in an emergency situation :)
