CE4

Green Hornet

Received my 5 pack of CE4 this morning. Filling was quite easy actually. Just pull out the bung and pour into the carto. Leaked a little but I think that can be reduced.

Some kick off it. Too much. Often think I must be getting juice more than vapour but there's no juice there. I'd read about TH on other forums so maybe that's what it is but it's very strong.

Vapour is not great and it is warm.

It's definitely a better design than the other clearo's that I've used but I need a bit longer to be converted I think. Might need a bit of breaking in first.

Funny feeling I'll be pulling out the trusty eGo-C again later. Since I rewicked it using eGo-W wick I cannot find one fault with it.

I could be pretty much anywhere eeloe!:D

Just send me a PM with your address and I'll shoot it off to you in the post though. I'll send it to you as a freebie .

Nah, nothing mysterious about it - spend most of my time in Wexford or Wicklow!

Much appreciated mate! :-)

another clearomizer type carto here, this guy seems to love it anyway (video review in the link) and I saw a thread on ecf with people saying how great they were

it sure looks interesting, and with a standard res version too might be something I look into in the future.. but i dont know if I like how fast it eats juice

another video too

I saw them mentioned quite a bit on http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette too and they mostly seem very impressed. It does seem to have fixed most of the normal clearo problems.

edit: They seem to work well at higher v too as mentioned here

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah the simplicity of how it fills and the umm... elegance of the mouthpiece pressing down on the little rubber cap.. very nice looking
depending on how much money I get back from the deposit on my last apartment, I might look into picking one up

--edit

price is a bit steep though, depending on how long they last
if they only last a week and they cost a fiver or so.. no matter what the fella in the second video says, that's kind of a problem

stevenmu

The post at the end of this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartomizer-reviews/258488-vision-ego-stardust-review.html mentions two months.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

interesting
definitely on my list of things to consider wasting money on anyway

I ordered two yesterday...one each of LR and SR. They seem like better and less fiddly than the CE3 which is my favourite for flavour. A big plus is that they seem to last for ages and you can easily clean, dry burn and rewick them. Amazing the attraction new shiny things on the market has.

damn, thats pretty cool

Simple solution...mix your own juice. At about 20% the cost of regular juice you can't go wrong.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

actually **** that, that looks like so much work. ill just spend a fiver on another atty if I like them

I have a load of non tobacco flavours here, and i have some tobacco flavours coming in the post. once the tobaccos get here im gona mix up a load of tobacco juices and vape them for a while. ill probably always have a bottle of wensten or deluxe tobacco around, but if I can make my own tobacco flavoured juices.. even better (and cheaper)

Green Hornet

I've had another go with the CE4 and it is just way too strong for me altogether! To be fair, it's easy and clean to fill but there's something wrong somewhere! It just feels caustic or like erupting volcano ejuice or something. The flavour is really intense but vapour poor.

Fecking yokes. If only the vapour was normal, these things might not be too bad. Interesting to see how eeloe gets on!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

by taking the stardust apart.. are you changing the resistance, like you would on a repairable atomiser?
as that's what it basically is isnt it? you're doing up a new coil and wick so it'll be like brand new, so you can turn an lr into an sr or vice versa


gh that's a shame, vapour for me is one of the most important things. the flavour and TH can be excellent, but if I dont see a cloud of vapour when i exhale.. I feel cheated

--edit
oh, bubba. where did you order from?

Glad to see the recession hasn't arrived in Carlow:)

I got some tobacco flavours too last week. Liberty Flights seem to have a good price for bases...125ml of 50mg for 28 quid....that will do me for an awful long time....the recession is bad down here in Cork:)

Bubba9

Ordered from Safercigs. He calls the something else as Gotvapes in the US have the rights to the Vision Stardust name I think.

They won't arrive until next week and apparently they last for over a month with just a few cleans so it will be quite a while before I have to go and work on the coils and wick

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

hrm, inawera have 100ml of 36mg of their dirty neutral base for 12 euro

i cant be arsed doing the maths to see which is the better deal i have 100ml of 12mg dirty neutral base coming with my tobacco flavours anyway just to test it out, i've heard it's very good for tobacco juices. if I succeed in making a few tobacco juices I like, I'll probably make a massive order of various tobacco flavourings and bases from a couple of different sites in the coming months

ill have a look at the safercigs site, I am pretty curious about these. The guy who made the repairing vide above.. on the cleaning video he made before that he updated it to say that the newer versions of the star..(ive forgotten the name) is a lot harder to take apart

UPDATE:
The second batch of Stardusts seem to be much more difficult to take apart. Antfuzz on the ECF forums has had good luck with using copper tubes and a hammer which will only work for changing the wick and not cleaning (b/c you have to remove the wick!):

I might have been able to convince myself to do it the original way, but i am not fiddling about with cutting copper tubes.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

actually how much was shipping to Ireland?

Green Hornet

Whipped out another CE4 this morning just to check if I'd just had an unlucky experience or if these things are as bad as I thought.

Filled it with 12mg Cherry Liqua which I know is okay. It's working very well with this juice. Nice warm draw with good vapour and excellent flavour. No leaks either.

I think that Pear juice that I got with the order was resonsible for most of my problems yesterday. It killed my eGo-C too and I had to take out the atty and it's currently soaking in alcohol.

For some reason I always find the 18mg stuff way too strong in any of those clearomiser set ups. 12mg is always more than enough for me when using them.

Really looking forward to eeloe's experience with it.

Goods were £31.89 less discount of £3.19 and postage was £6.56

Speaking of postage, of the UK sites I know of Liberty Flights and ECig Wizard have free EU postage and a few others have free postage when you spend over a certain amount. The only Irish site I know of is Irish Vapers....are there more?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

bestshop has free postage for orders over 75
never checked the others

Bubba9

Yeah, that would be cheaper alright. I was getting needle caps and a few flavours and just thought I'd throw this into the basket as the high nic base I used before worked out great.

I might have been able to convince myself to do it the original way, but i am not fiddling about with cutting copper tubes.

I was reading some forums where guys have found a work around...something about loosening a silver ring, etc. I'm sure there will be plenty of updates on UTube when and if I need them.

Yeah, but I don't want to be spending over 75 Euro if I need an adaptor or just something small from them.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

aye, afaik though irishvapers is the only one with free postage as standard

Bubba9

Probably because they don't have recorded delivery...stuff just arrives in the door without having to sign for it. Best Shop use a courier company now I think. I suppose recorded delivery is to stop people claiming stuff was lost in the post and demanding replacements.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

my order from bestshop came in the ordinary post w/ no signing, irishvapers have a registered post option now too iirc, think it costs a fiver

Bubba9

The stuff I got from Best Shop last week was delivered by courier.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

weird
i suppose I did only order 2 cartomisers hardly worth using a courier for

Bubba9

Just looked at the email invoice...order was 27 Euro and shipping method was "regular". Curious alright but makes no difference.

eeloe

Most of my orders from TBS come via FastWay Couriers, i always select the express postage option tho, it's roughly double the price of standard postage but it's always here next day!

eeloe

I have just got my CE4 that Green Hornet posted last night(faster than most of the online shops, you should really set up your own! haha)

I just filled it with Liqua Citrus Mix @ 11mg, and first impressions are rough.

The vapour is roasting hot and i can't really taste the juice, i'll give it a spin for the rest of the day and report back how i'm finding it

Thanks again!

Wow............that was quick alright! I'm trying another one today with lower nic an it's a lot better. I dont think I'm doing anything else fifferent so I thought it was the juice. If you're getting the same thing, that means that there must be a lot of duds or something.

The first one I had nearly killed me. I took a drag and one stage and got instantaneous hiccups for about 10 mins. As I said in another post, it was like erupting volano ejuice flavour!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well next day post is standard in Ireland
unless you live where I do, in which case it's a random luxury

eeloe

After 5-6 drags now the flavour is coming through a bit more, i mustn't have got out all the primer(i'm assuming they have a primer the same as regular attys?)

Maybe. The second one that I'm using is actually quite good. Good flavour and vapour.

GAH!!!!

Just got a mouthful of juice, it appears the CE4's are prone to the same condensation problem the CE3's were...

I'll struggle on with it tho...

What site did you order these from? I'll have to chance a box, love the ce3s, fill and forget!
Dcc are great but the hassle of topping up, is it drying out?...flooded...aaargh, use them with tanks around the house, but as someone else said all the sites are low on stock lately

Here you go:

http://www.ivapour.co.uk/ce4-clearomisers-1.html

They run very hot but so do DCC's so you should like them if you like CE3's. Very easy to fill and no leaks.

Not sold on them yet though. Tend to run very hot for me. Nice kit though and worth a punt if you like clearo's. They hold a big volume with a nice draw.

Think I'm an atty man though.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

maybe try out those star..things from a few posts back, from safercigs
basically meant to be ce*'s with al the little problems fixed

go on, be our guinea pig

I'm fighting myself all evening, I've convinced myself that the Howitser vv is a bargain (well it does have 2 tanks with it)
I'll have to get ce4s
and now the stardust looks like a necessity!! but seem to be out of stock
Found them I think, they are the vision ego 1.6s on safercigs?
Sir digby you being from higher voltage vaping, if I'm getting a howitser am I better of going for the higher resistence,they come 2.1-2.4 and 2.5-2.9??
Now to see who wont cut me off if i delay paying thier bill

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

out of stock? damn, was a few left when I looked last

well i guess it means i wont have to spend any money on them

flids.utd

No I edited since...go on get in debt!!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

prob higher resistance

although.. i dunno
with the lower resistance on the howitzer it has a cut off point, so it will vape up to the max safe voltage for that atomiser
i think... *think* that vaping a higher res atomiser at high voltages is better for the atty than vaping a low res atty at a lower voltage, but relative to the resistance of the atomiser.. higher.. if you follow me

I think the low res at a lower voltage, bvut still higher than an ego, would heat up and die qwuicker than a high res at a higher voltage.

flids.utd

Gonna get the ce4s and give myself a cooling of period on the howitzer, I've a dear couple of weeks ahead of me.. I dont need it but...
And get the lower resistence visions for the ego
And now go to bed before I change my mind yet again and hit that add to cart button

List of stardust suppliers: http://www.visionecigar.com/news1400798/news-details.htm.

Note they also mention new versions with higher capacities, up to 5ml :eek:. Also different res versions and possibly and LED version, which I presume lights up as you vape, a little pointless but could look pretty cool.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

5ml is interesting alright, although i wonder how huge it would be

seems there's a new cool device coming out every few weeks now, maybe we're coming up to that point where we can be almost assured of something working when we buy it
