For past couple of weeks, I had been vaping Dual Coil Clearomizers, but yesterday have started on the Smokeymizer CE3. I have used these previously, and they do give a very nice “airy and warm” vape. I intend using these exclusively over the next while using different eLiquids.
I am currently vaping Marlboro 24mg, and both flavour and throat hit are very good. One the big advantages of the Smokeymizer, is that they are “fill & forget”. Once filled you can forget about them and vape away for hours on end. I am currently using with an Ego battery, and although they do work with a 510 battery, I wouldn’t expect the standard 510 battery to last too long with these.
The one down side to the Smokeymizer, is that they are a little tricky to fill. You do need a syringe / needle to fill. The pack come with a needle that fits most eliquid bottles, but I find it easier to use a syringe / needle that you can get from your local chemist. It does make you feel a little bit like a junkie! The important part to remember when filling these, is to place a rubber cap on the bottom or otherwise your juice will leak all over the place. This important part of the filling instructions is omitted in the instruction sheet.
But once you get over the slightly tricky nature of filling these, the end result is excellent, a very satisfying vape.
Will report back on the longevity of the Smokeymizer, but from previous experience I used to get at least one week out of each.
There are many reports on the web of these Smokeymizers leaking, and other such problems. I can report that I have not experienced any of these issues.

6 days is the verdict in this mini evaluation, i.e the Smokeymizer lasted 6 days before performance dropped, and I felt I needed to replace it. Overall satisfaction level is very good. One leak tough, when I didn’t replace the small rubber bung properly, but lesson learned. If you do not mind a little bit of fiddling about when filling these, then I woud highly recommend them. The quality of the vapour remains top notch, until the Smokeymizer is empty, in fact I would go as far to say that the flavour actually improves as the quantity of juice remiaining decreases. Have decided to stay vaping Smokeymizer with my Ego for another week, but to vary the flavours.

9 days into the second of the Smokymizers in this “test”, the Smokymizer is still going strong, no hint of a drop in performance. I have vaped, Old Holborn flavour, Raspberry, Tobacco and Gold & Silver (B&H), and although I may have my favourites when it comes to flavour, all of these have vaped equally well in the Smokeymizer. 10 out of 10!

11 days and the ole smokey is still going strong. In fact I’m beginning to think that the one I dumped after 6 days may have been OK, but that it was the battery that was getting low which in turn led to reduced performance.

OK, 12 days was the final result. In the end the pull was just getting a little too hard to get adequate flavour. But 12 days more or less constant vaping is really good in my opinion, and at €1.70 per Smokeymiser is very good value. I know elsewhere on the net that there are cleaning instructions for the smokymizer, but at that price I simply wouldn’t bother,but then again if you like to fiddle about with things, I’d be delighted to hear how you get on.
Finally, a review that isn’t whining about leaking because the reviewer is too stupid to use the (included) condom, or has lost the bung because they’re hamfisted and/or drunk. These cartos are great. They don’t leak or crack, the vapor is good to the last drop and they last a good long time. The biggest flaws are that they don’t contain explicit instructions about how to put the condom on the battery end, and the included tweezers are a bit flimsy. Use a pair of “real” tweezers instead. I’m going to stock up on these before all the bad reviews by the morons of the vaping community get them discontinued.
