Clearos do tend to get condensation in them when you vape sjames, nothing to worry about.

sjames89 - as Roscopecotrain says above, it's an occupational hazard of using clearos. The heat generated by the coil continues to output a bit after you've taken your finger off the button. This heat atomises a small amount of juice, and as you aren't sucking any more, this juice vapourises and then condenses on the cool walls of the clearo. You can reduce this by continuing to inhale through the clearo for a second or so after releasing the button - this draws enough extra air through the device to clear the hot vapour, thus reducing the condensation. If the juice turns dark brown however, it's time for an empty next time the level gets low, and then a flush through with warm to hot water, followed by a good period of drying on a sunny windowsill or radiator. Then you are good to go again. I would suggest that next time you are in the market for a clearo, aim for a CE4+ or CE5 (confusingly, vendors are not standardised with their numbering!) which will allow you to replace the atomiser head for a new one at a cost of about £3, rather than a complete new clearo at about £7. This is much more cost effective

I tend to vape this way, press button for a second or two before you take your draw and then i let go of the button and keep going on my draw for a few seconds. This seems to help with both condensation and gunky coils.

This is the bit where I say use a BCC clearo and rinse the unit and the atomiser and the unit after a tank full and you'll remove most of these issues right?
