Without the help from this forum I probably would have given up on e-cigs!

The best kit and accesories come with no instructions!

Sorry for the late reply but here's a link to the ones I just purchased.

I'm a total novice as far as vaping is concerned and I hope someone with more experience will correct me if I'm wrong but I think the ones I purchased are a sealed tank that you fill up with ejuice rather than dripping/topping up all the time as you do with atomisers/cartomisers.

I've found them to be so much easier to use and to me, the flavour seems to be great in comparison to my cartomisers.

I hope that helps

thx... do you need an atomiser to use with them?... loving all the toys available!! its like building your own individual device... getting better by the day... another new juice to try out today too

CE2 design cartomizers are called clearomizers...Hold clear liquid without any wadding and wicks into the coil.

CE3 design are called smokymizers. There is also a micromizer which is a modified CE3 design with LED lights inside.

CE4 are called Tankomizer.

The latest in this series is the CE4 + a.ka. Vision Stardust.

cheers for the explanation. as a total noob that means b*gger all to me at the moment, but sure i will learn with time. any websites for checking these out and getting some more detail... presume from the thread title these will all fit the RIVA1100???

cheers guys

Sorry mate..Missed this post:

This is a CE2:


The coil is very near the mouth end and a wicks runs through the heating coil on either side into the tank.

This is a CE3:

The coil is very near the battery end and a short wick protrude into the tank and is mostly gravity fed..There is also an small inner tube that carries the vapour from the coil through the middle to the mouth end.

This is a micromizer:

Though it's very similar to look at as the CE3 it's got LED lights inside and the inner tube design is different.

Many people either love or hate the above and most of them require the end user to fiddle around with them to make them work properly.

These are CE4 also named clearomizer just to confuse us:


Not very popular I think mainly because the CE4+ was released soon after but reports are fairly neutral about this.

This is the CE4+ or Vision Stardust also called Ego clearomizer and goes by other names.


Recently available in the market and initial reports are encouraging..

There are other alternatives to above like a cartridge tank.

All of them are designed for one function only..To feed the heating coil on demand and hold a decent amount of fluid to minimize refilling.

I am sure you will learn more about them as you go along and you read about user's experience with them.

No, it's a all in one unit, like a mini tank, it has the atomiser coil at the top.

Hi Flipflop

As Mcaffen said, Safercigs is where i got mine from and I've found them so much easier than cartomisers.

I bought 2 and I've not needed to use a cartomiser since I got them

I fill one with my favourite liquid and it lasts me pretty much all day at work which is much more convenient for me.

I always carry the other one filled with something different in case I fancy a change

Hi Suebam and maccafan,
Received my clearomizers from safercigs as suggested(thanks Safercigs).
I proper love them.
Tilt and pour...................that easy to fill.
No more messing about, I can now see how much juice is left.
No more burning taste vapes for me(when the cartomizer runs dry), hopefully, that is.
No more faffing about, just tilt and pour, love it.
Nice vape aswell.
One question to you both tho, do they break easily?
I can be a bit cack handed now and again and I'm prone to drop my riva. Or is there such a thing as a cap/cover for a riva 1100 with a clearomizer attached.
Also, any suggestions on a case that will hold 2 riva 1100's and say a 5 ml bottle of juice.
Thanks in advance.

Great news FlipFlop!

There are specific Ego/Riva carry cases . . . many of our ecig Vendors stock them, I tend to use a hard backed spectacle case for mine, does the job just as well for me.

[jlowdo]

those kit bags look like something i'm going to need to investigate... bit big for a pocket though. and along with iPhone and various other necessities when leaving the house, that can mean only one thing .... getting into Man-Bag territory! aaahh! not sure i'm ready for that yet....

however, if Louis Vuitton made one, it might help me get over my metrosexuality issues ( errr... there's a kind of irony in there isn't there really? )

[Karma]

I use a small camera case but TBH I think something hard backed like a spec case is probably safer, no way to accidently switch the batteries on!

[flipflop]

I just ordered a case from vape escape.
I'll let you all know what it's like.
