Cleaning?

[jansnonsmokinghubby]

We recently purchased a CE4 e-cig, and my Mrs loved it. One of the things that she was really impressed by was the amount of vapour that it produced, as this added to the effect of smoking a 'real' cigarette. However I have noticed how after a week the vapour is not as prominent as before?

When I look at the bit that stores the liquid (can you tell I'm a noob? lol), the 'wicks' look clogged up. Or is this the normal look? If this needs cleaning out or whatever, what do I do? Can I simply push water through it with a syringe maybe?

Please forgive my noobness on this but I'm still learning. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can clean them out by giving them a rinse out with warm (not boiling) water, or use Isopropyl Alcohol which is a bit more complex, but goes a long way to removing any flavour left in the clearo.

Unscrew the mouthpiece but be careful as it has a small silicon o-ring on it that is easily lost, half fill the tank with hand hot water and with your finger over the top, shake vigorously. Repeat until the wick has gone back to as near white as you can get it then leave it to air dry.
You can then do a "dry burn" which is just pressing the fire button for 5 or 6 seconds then leave for 5 to 6 seconds and repeat until it stops smoking.
Give it another rinse with warm water and let it air dry again, then you can refill, screw the mouthpiece back on and it should be like new again.

You could buy some wire / wick and rewick the head yourself. I tend to rewick about 10 heads in one go and then switch them out as and when required.
Somehwhere on here there is a tutorial on rewicking heads.

Hey, thanks for that. I've just watched the video too. Nice one.

Yes, I think I need to get her some 'backups' on the ready. I noticed you can buy these in packs, so I think I will order a pack for her. In the meantime I am confident enough after everyone's help for me to give her current one a clean now. Thanks everyone. Very much appreciated.

They last somewhere between 1 - 2 weeks you could try a clean but @ £5 eah or less just get a new one. These items are disposable.
