Getting to the end of a clearo

[donov6]

Hello my lovely friends, just a quick question, how low should u smoke your clearo too? I used to just keep topping it up, but the colour difference with the juice is intense! So I started emptying it out and then refilling it.. But here comes my question,

How should I be doing this? Should I smoke it till its dry? Should I top it up? I'm sure I have read somewhere that you shouldn't let it go under a certain ml, like 0.4? But I'm not sure! X

No idea, but glad you asked the question. 'cos I'd like to know too!

I would say re-fill when there is about 25% left

Depending on the clearo.

Quick question - I'm using a ce4 vision v2 clearo, and I have one that just seems faulty, basically I just vapes from it after not using it for a few days, and got a slurping noise, unscrewed it, blew through it and juice came out the battery end, put it back on, smoked it a bit, was fine.. Just took it off and my riva has juice all around the bit that lights up blue, literally a puddle of juice!

Is it a faulty clearo? My other one is fine but using different juice!

Time to top it up xD x

I top my V3s up when they are on 0.6ml of the full 1.6ml. Any less, they can still vape (if you keep the wick wet) but they are hard work.
In the early days, I got fed up with strong tasting juice and emptied and cleaned them after a few top ups. Depends on the juice, I guess.
A strong tobacco or RY4 can get pretty intense, as you say....
I'd only vape one dry in emergency and even then, I would be swooshing the liquid a lot.

The colour can change very quickly, depending on the juice. I normally let mine go very low, can't be assed to get out of my chair, but once I taste the burn I'll force myself to top it up. No problems so far, but after a few weeks I will treat it to a new head.

The thing with these type of rebuildables is that there's only 3 ways juice can get into the centre tube (other than obviously by accidentally dripping juice down there as you fill).
The first is at the point where the atty head screws onto the centre tube. Check the O ring and make sure it's screwed on tight. The top cap can sometimes catch on the atty head and unscrew the atty a bit as you remove the head, so check that the head is tight each time you take the top cap off.
The second is at the point where the top cap presses down on the atty head to make a seal, check that the top cap is screwed on tight.
The third is at the point where the wicks exit the centre tube. Check that the little silicone 'top hat' is seated firmly on top of the head to minimise this gap

I hope this helps

Quality thank you, I will have a look at it tomorrow, all tucked away vaping on my strawberry icecream ATM xD

I usually vape mine almost dry without any darkening of the juice, but when it starts 'browning up' the juice I clean the head, and it doesnt do it for a few more days, then just rinse and repeat!

[lobeydosser]

All of my clearos, tanks etc all get the same flavour of juice and are only washed out if I am changing from one flavour to another.
This way they all last a long time.
I have not recoiled any of them so far. That is something for the future. But I do occasionally put a new head on them. That seems to be every 3 or 4 months.
I always top them up when they get to about 1/4 of an inch from the bottom.
I don't mind e-juice going brown. It invariably lightens anyway when I top up.

A fourth point of leakage (and air tube flooding) on the v2s and upwards, is when the polycarbonate tube starts to detach from the base ring. I'm forever doing this by keeping it in a pocket then leaning over something and bending the clearo.
Remove the tip and look to see if the air tube is central with the tip hole. If it's off center the bottom of the tip wont sit square on the silicone head seal.
Stand it on a flat surface, grasp the poly tube and push down firmly. You should hear a creaking sound and find that the air tube is now central.
