Wicks

[Yorkshireman]

I saw a company selling wicks for the CE5 clearomisers but i can't remember who they are,i have spare coils with wicks attached but would like to replace the wicks when they go black.

Did you want to buy new heads or rewick them yourself Dowden, I'm not sure from your post.

These are the head units . . .

You can rewick the heads. How the heck do you do that?
Be usefull to know instead of buying heads for £1.99 - £3.00 each. I loved my CE5 but refuse to buy a new head when i can buy 5 dual coil carts for a fiver delivered

The same I'd imagine as the Vivi Nova heads Bryson . . . although I speak from no experience as I haven't used a CE5, just going by the pictures of the replacement heads.

Which I may I have dreamt, but are the same as the Vivi Nova?


But I could be completely wrong.

slightly different to the nova heads but same principle / approach to rewicking applies

Found how to do it, will give it a go soon. Will have to order some wire and wick first

If it's 0.16mm Nichrome wire you need I have tons of it at group price

[brysoni23]

no idea what wick and wire i need :S will be my first rewire, if someone can tell me what size i need then i will just order and make a few.

I use .16 wire, either nichrome or kanthal because of the limited space. I would take up Dees offer on the wire, super fast & lovely to deal with.

Re wick just look what the original was, but mainly either 1 strand of 2mm silica or 2/3 strands of 1 mm, which you can find here to start with at a very good price.

Possible also a cheap multi meter to check the resistance, you can find them on ebay for less then a fiver, & I think there's been a recent thread on them which would give you some pointers.

This sounds more complicated than i thought,i meant the little piece of fabric that hangs over the sides of the clearo,it goes black in the middle and i thought i could replace that instead of the whole coil unit.

when you change the wick you will have to do a recoil , its quite easy to do theres a few videos in the tips and tricks section

[Yorkshireman]

I thought you just removed the wick from the slot and put a new one in?
