CE5 seeping, better alternative?

[hoppers]

cornersruns, I've been using the exhale ce5 for 2 weeks now and not had the issue you are talking about. The clearomiser comes complete, so you shouldn't have done anything wrong. Have you contacted Exhale? get some advice off them. Have you experimented with it stood upright and laid on side, to see when it's doing the leeking? There are various rubber grommets (0 rings or whatever they're called) used in the clearo to prevent leeking, yours might be missing one.

Ok an update. Maybe I was a bit premature No leaks today from either CE5's

Maybe the O-rings work a bit better once they have been exposed to liquid, or maybe a little bit of liquid on the outside of the o-rings helps them seal better ( we all benefit from a little lubrication )

I hadn't contacted Exhale, I wanted to see if there was anything I was missing and as it was the weekend I wasn't expecting them to be able to answer.

So sorry to Exhale if I've given them any bad publicity, the order was despatched quickly and arrived in good condition exactly as described.

Some of the posts on this thread seem to imply that Exhale MAY supply imitation CE5's ( I don't know how to tell the difference ). I ordered from Exhale because they were listed on the vendors site here and the implication is all those vendors listed are trusted by the forum members.

Cornersrun, all these different clearos come from China, whether they are fake or real, they are mass produced. Vendors buy samples to try then order on the strength of that, unfortunately there will always be some that are not up to standard!

You were right to ask for advice. Pleased that they are now working well for you. I'm sure nobody thought you were trying to slate the vendor. If you do have any more problems, do get in touch with the vendor, I'm sure they'll do their best to sort any problems out

I didn't get the impression that anyone thought I was having ago at the vendor, I'd have given them the chance to rectify any problems I was having first

I'm quite impressed that these things work without leaking for most people The fact that the wick doesn't lead to instant emptying of the clearo is pretty good

Sorry if I worded that wrong

No - no offence taken ( it's hard to offend me )

I did have one that felt oily, I couldnt see where it was leaking, but it got washed and dried along with others and now I don't even know which one it was as none of them leak now.

Unfortunately a lot of these clearo things are just a bit temperamental!

Sounds like a badun--that can happen.I use the vision ce5 v3s and the viva novas and they work well.I always make sure I get the proper Vision ones as ive been taken in by the copies and they suck.

totaly know what you mean, caught out myself on thinking i was getting bargain vision ce4's

Couple of issues to look out for, which could cause leeking

If you don't screw the atomiser down tight, it can unscrew with the mouthpiece.

If you're a bit ham fisted with filling up (especially the small 5ml testers which are hard to squeeze) you might make the clear plastic tank move a bit in it's collar. Which then makes the mouthpiece screw on wonky. You can repair it by just pushing down on the top of the clearo/tank which will straighten it all up again.
I've no idea if these are inferior to others, they work well, for sure.
