    be interested to hear what the blathnad is like, wasn't willing to spend the money to find out myself :)

    i had such high hopes for the stardusts but the one I got just did nothing for me. higher than 3.7v very common burnt taste, under 3.7v sod all vapour and muted flavour. just gave up on them after a day

    Yeah, I've mixed feelings about the eGo Vision alright. Many people seem to love them but my experiences with every one of those clearomiser yokes has been bad too.

    Feck it........why the hell do I have to keep trying out these things when they always let me down???? The DCT and the eGo-C are the only things that have performed as expected and I still keep doing it......:confused:

    I ordered one of those Stardusts as well - I've seen a tutorial on replacing the wick with steel mesh and changing the ohmage like an RDA.

    Not very chuffed with the price though - the going rate for one of these should be between €5 and €6 - €8 is well over the top, on saying that no-one forced me into buying it...

    It's funny ya know. I'd say the vendors get a good bit of extra business from this forum. I see people talking about x, y or z on here and off I go again.....

    Stardusts seem to be very hit and miss. I got two from the UK before and they were not good, lots of burnt tasting dry hits no matter what I did. I got two more a week or so back from HC (I was doing a bulk carto order and they were cheap so threw them in). I've only used one so far and it has been pretty great. It looks like a slight redesign of the ones I used previously, and so far no hint of a dry burnt hit, plenty of nice vapour and flavour. The draw has gotten really tight on it, but it's very manageable.

    It's a pre-order?

    I want one of these too even though the insides are the same - the original design is so ugly.

    Haha, probably! :-)

    Got an email from Liberty a while ago saying it was shipped, so hopefully I'm not waiting too long!

    You will have it possibly Wednesday latest Thursday so I'd say.

    Got the Vision eGo this morning. Maybe it takes while to kick in properly but I'm not blown away by it yet. It's okay but nothing spectacular. The draw is bit tight and the flavour a bit muted but the vapour is fine. Hoping that it improves with use and I've heard that it does. Vapour is a bit cool too.

    I got the Vision this morning too - this may be the updated version as I have had no dry hits or problems getting it going.

    I'm finding the flavour to be pretty good and it works very well on an unregulated Ego battery (not so good on the Lavatube) actually think this is worth the €8 I paid for it.

    If you take the mouthpiece off and look inside, there's a metal spike above the rubber bung over the coil in the updated version. At least there is on the one I got from HC that wasn't there on the the first ones I got.

    the one I got from healthcabin had the metal spike but it still didnt perform great

    granted i was using it on the lavatube, not on an ego

    Mine has that spike and the calibrated markings too. In fairness, it's the best clearo that I've used.

    Flavour is improving but I'm only using 9mg Liqua strawberry so TH is weak anyway.

    Draw seems kinda tight compared to the DCT but most things seem tight compared to the carto's I suppose.

    Did yours fit right on or are you using an adapter?

    510-ego adapter

    i was using that with everything on my lavatube for ages as the draw on the lavatube was far too tight when I had cartos screwed in all the way

    then last week I realised I could just leave the carto a little bit loose and i didn't need the adapter at all.

    This is by far the best clearo I've used, tight draw doesn't seem as bad now.
    This is one for an ego battery though.

    Yeah, I agree that it's the best clearo that I've used too. Still find the draw too tight and the vapour too cool though. Just took a few toots from my DCT and it's still better even with a 6 day old carto I think.

    Definitely not a waste of money though and I hear they get better after a day or so. Just wish the draw was a bit looser and a bit warmer.

    Just started a CE4 Plus aka Vision aka Stardust myself today. Unlike Bono, I think I "have finally found what I'm looking for". Simple to fill, know exactly how much eliquid I have, and throat hit and flavour on the couple of different juices I tried so far are both very good. Have used on both an Ego and Riva battery. Very happy :)

    WTF? Mine is not that good at all. Seems to have gotten worse as the day went on. I'm getting hardly any vapour and I can even feel pulses of heat and cool. Think its heading the way of every other clearo that I've come across!

    Looks like some are fantastic and some crap. Of course I'd naturally get one of the crap ones. Might start fidgeting around with it…never ends well that!

    If it is a dud you could always replace the wick with steel mesh and make your own coil;



    Going to do this myself when mine packs in!

    I guess so. I'm thinking of getting an RTA anyway though. I'd like to have something solid and reliable that I can do myself.

    you'll be waiting a few months I'd say for an RTA, he makes a batch every two weeks and the list was huge last time I looked at it

    the RDA has a shorter waiting list, just be a few weeks for that I'd say

    they're well worth it though, order now and put a few quid aside every week. youll be able to afford them easily and when you get them you'll fall in love

    or you could spend the next week refreshing the ukvap[[ers classified section every 10 seconds, might get an RTA that way :)

    The RDA is only for dripping though isn't it? I spend quite a bit of time in a car so that wouldn't really suit unfortunately.
