What's the difference between the CE4 and the CE5?

CE4 (the "old" one) cannot be taken apart. It only has a mouthpiece (drip tip) which you unscrew to fill it up. It has no advantage over CE5.
You can rinse it out, but then you need to dry it for hours (or vape on it until it tastes normal....yuk....) You can "dry burn" it, but it's not reliable.

A CE5 comes apart (the bottom unscrews), so you can wash/dry very quickly. You can remove the plastic "cap" that sits above the coil/atomiser and see the state of it. If nasty build-up won't come off, or it tastes bad, or it's dead, you can replace the atomiser "head" for £2.50 (5 for £10).

I get nasty vapes off both these in under 2 or 3 fill-ups. One can be fixed in 5-10 minutes, the other has had it, unless it dry burns OK.

Thank you. Is the CE5 the same as the V3?

Basically. I have a Vision V3 "rainbow" from VapeEscape. I have a CE5 (from a kit for Vision Crystal). They are 99% the same.

I would recommend them, but overall, I prefer the mini vivi nova.

They seem expensive, but you get 3 heads in the box.

one thing about mini nova - they have a different fitting to the Stardust/CE4/5 style. They work on 510 (that's the small screw) and if you put a Nova on a regular battery, they look a bit odd.....so you need a "plinth". Jason at VapeEscape will tell you which, as will somebody on here. I can't remember the "type", I just call it "B".......

Novas don't leak. CE5s can leak, mostly if the centre tube gets knocked a bit. I've been using CE5s all day and both of them do leak a little.

I have numerous CE5s that are still going almost 6 months down the line, cleaning them once a week and dry burning will keep them going for literally months.

Dropping them from about 3 foot however will make them turn in to puddles of noxious gunk in miliseconds.

My advise would be to treat them well and they'll last you ages.

I have had my V3s from when they came on sale first.They have been cleaned taken apart countless times are still as good as the day that I bought them,and have never had a leak from the V3 ever.I would say well worth the money and a must for any newbe to start with.I have tried most clearo's that have come onto the market including the mini nova which is good but I find very thirsty.
