Ceravape Cerabis 44 and 45 100% Ceramic coil review

[mjag]

The Cerabis 44 and 45 were sent to me at no charge for the purpose of this review. I am not affiliated or employed by Ceravape, these are only my honest opinions.

Tank Descriptions​

• Coils are food grade ceramic, no cotton
• Coils are 1 ohm: with recommended wattage of 25-50, 0.50 ohm: 40-60 watts.
  
• 44 holds 2ml, 45 holds 2.5ml
• 44 is 44mm x 22mm, 45 is 45mm x 22mm
• Both come in stainless, black or limited rose gold
• MAX VG friendly
• (available here: http://www.onlineshop.ceravape.com/)

Getting to know both the 44 and 45
​

Both packages are the same with the exception that the 44 and 45 use different sized glass, pictured above is of the 45 glass which is shorter.
Comes with the 0.50 ohm coil installed and a 1 ohm coil in the package. Bag of o'rings and a thorough owner's manual that covers both tanks.

Different fill methods​

Both use a different method to fill, the 44 on the left unscrews from the top to fill, the 45 has a slide down cover to fill from the side. I didn't have any problems filling either one but the 45 was a little tough to pull down at first but loosened up after the fill up.

Takes any 510 drip tip​

You can replace the drip tips, it is a standard 510. I really liked the stock drip tips, especially if vaping at 50 watts or higher. The top of the tank can get warm to hot if you are chain vaping, the stock drip tip covers the top of the tank though so it keeps the heat away from your lips.

Pull up to open juice flow and airflow, push down to close

​

At first I wasn't a fan of this design and intentionally left it open all the time to see if I would get any leaks. no leaks for 9 days. On the 10th day while taking photo's I was opening and closing both tanks for different pics and got some leaking from the 45. It may have been the opening and closing quickly that caused the leak, sort of like a pumping action. For an out and about tank you will carry in your pocket I liked the design, should keep your pockets dry and not smelling like your favorite juice.

Difference between the coils is not just ohms

​

The top coil is the 0.50 ohm, it has a larger diameter opening for more airflow. I measured a little over 4mm opening for the 0.50 ohm coil and around 3.3mm for the 1 ohm coil. Not a huge difference but I prefer an airier draw so the 0.50 ohm coil was my preference.

In daily use
​

Coil break in on these is great compared to other ceramic coils like the Vaporesso Gemini, that one I usually fill up at night to be ready in the morning. With the Cerabis 44 and 45 I just filled them up, waited 5 minutes and vaped.

Vapor wise it is a nice dense cloud, not going to win any cloud competitions but it is enjoyable and the best out of all my ceramic coil based tanks.

Flavor is real good, the best of all my ceramic coil tanks. What I really liked though was when changing flavors the prior flavor didn't linger like you get with cotton based coils. I went from fruit vapes to chocolate then custards and each time I wasn't tasting the prior juice as long as I vaped the tank dry beforehand.

Airflow is good on the 0.50 ohm coil for a deep lung hit but if it had a little more I would be happier. I will still continue using these tanks in my car or out and about were you don't want to fog up a place.

Comparisons to other ceramic tanks

​

I used fresh coils in all 4 tanks and used the same juice to keep it fair.

Vaporesso Gemini: This tank has always been so so for me and the coil break in is annoying. The flavor is good, better after a couple of tanks to break in. It has a cotton layer as well so switching juices can leave you with a bit of the flavor of the prior juice in the beginning. I have never been impressed with the Gemini, the Cerabis 44 and 45 are superior tanks IMO.

Vaporesso Guardian: I enjoy this little tank but only in my stealth setup with the target mini it came packaged with. Not a long break in like the other Vaporesso coil and the flavor is great just like the Cerabis. Tight draw on this little sucker though, good when you have to stealth vape.

Gratuitous pics of both tanks on various mods

​

Pros:

• 
  
  
  • Short break in time with new coils
  • Great flavor
  • Dense clouds
  • Comfortable well designed drip tip
  • Prior flavor does not linger when changing flavors
  • After 10 days of use and trying to gunk up the coils there still clean
  • 1 ohm coil is great on mini mods with limited power

Cons:

• 
  
  
  • The 44 can be difficult to remove the top cap to refill when on a mod, sometimes had to remove from mod to get a grip.
  • With the black tanks when the JFC and airflow is open it is SS, would look a lot cleaner if it was black as well.
  • Juice capacity of both is on the small side, there small tanks though and not juice hogs.

Final thoughts
​

I haven't been a fan of Ceramic coils but the new Cerabis 44 and 45 have changed that. I do think there is more innovation to be had though but this is the step in the right direction. I also like that there is no cotton in these coils, makes changing flavor real easy.

I would love to see Cervape make a 25mm tank with larger coils for more airflow, that would be something I would buy for sure based on my experience with there ceramic coils.

I like the 45 over the 44 for it's styling, ease of refilling and it holds a bit more juice. If your a cloud chaser than these are not the tanks for you, if your a flavor chaser then give it a try, I think you will like it.

Great review! Not sure if it's your writing style or what, but I feel as if I've read it before..

Is there a chance you can fix the pictures? -I can't see them.

Thanks Benny.

I didn't read any of the prior reviews but I did after I posted my review and saw we all came to a lot of the same conclusions. I noticed we all liked how the 45 fills up, I think the 3 reviews so far preferred the 45 overall.

The pics come in fine when I am on google chrome but I noticed they don't show up on tapatalk when I am on the phone, not sure why that is. I will try to switch from google photo's hosting to another pic hosted site tomorrow if I can get some time after work and Christmas shopping.

Hopefully the pics are fixed, switched hosting sites.

Thank you for the opportunity to try out these tanks, definitely changed my opinion on ceramic coils for the better.

Thanks @mjag :fixed.

I was really trying to say it was written well with a good comfortable style, making me feel like I've read it before.

Glad they bettered your opinion about ceramics. Cera Vape feels it's the healthiest wicking medium for vaping.
Now, if they could get SS wire incorporated..
