CE4 or CE5?

[cakey87]

Hi All

I was going to order a CE5 kit from exhale however ive been freaking myself out reading stories online about batteries, and my issue with the CE5 is it comes with all little fiddly extra coils and things which I dont really want and dont want to risk doing something wrong myself if that makes sense! I was just wondering what is the difference between these two is it just that the CE5 is rebuildable which Im not bothered about with a starter kit anyway? If so can anyone recommend me a cheapish CE4 kit?

Thanks

Hi Cake
No. Get the 5. The fiddley bit is only a atty. The thing is the other one is harder to clean and will cost more on the long run. With the 5 you can take it apart -clean it and change the atty really easily. The atty does clog up in them a lot. So get the rebuildable ones every time. Also learn how to dry burn. This is important.
Edit. There are better kits than that. Someone will be along to post links.

Vivi Novas aren't at all fiddly

Thanks karma I have just ordered the exhale kit if I dont like the CE5 can i change them to CE4? I was reading things about batteries exploding ??? but after reading a bit further I think its people who are modifying their kits is that right?

Yes the batteries with the exhale kits have the most common 510 fittings so you can use CE4s, or Vivi Novas or lots of other thinks

Yes to an extent you are right, but all li-on batteries should be treated with respect, especially mod batteries. I prefer not to charge them overnight, but then I don't even charge my mobile phone overnight. I'm also not keen on charging using my computer, I have one of these

The way I see it; if you only ever buy replaceable heads, you can't go wrong. They are factory manufactured.

It's only muppets like me who mess up stuff.

CE5 is superior to CE4. CE4s are all very well, but if you burn it out, it's dead. It's all cheap (ish) stuff, but if you can't replace the head it's £5.50 instead of £2 (or £2.50 individually)

All these things are dead easy to take apart, great for cleaning and stuff.

Ages ago (before discovering e-cigs) I looked into Li-ion battery technology. Failure rates are v.v.small indeed if you don't mess around with them. Laptops and mobiles use them and how often do people lose sleep about their phone exploding?

b.t.w. you could potentially never dismantle a CE5 and then just rinse it out like a CE4.

Thanks everyone! Ordered a kit and some e juice from them.as it was cheap and kit only cost £20 on special! Also ordering some vanilla custard so I can try different flavours! I suppose when you put it like that all the battery operated devices we use day to day and don't even think about it seems kinda silly to worry about an e cig! Is there anywhere on the forum for advice on cleaning, maintenance etc?
