I have a similar type of glass bed (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJ9WKRW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on my CE3Pro and this brand of glass has poor adhesion - period. I call it 'black ice'. The other mods on the list are also similar to mine, with the exception that I've added an upgraded vent ring for the cooling fan (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3343456). For quite a while I used blue painters tape and it seemd to work in the beginning, but I had some issues with warpage/shrinkage, air bubbles, tears, seam lines and typical tape things.
Lately I switched to brushing on Elmers liquid disappearing purple school glue, which is a PVA based glue (https://www.amazon.com/Elmers-Disappearing-Purple-Liquid-5-Ounces/dp/B01NCQAFGD/ref=sr_1_1?crid=287FNHW09Q8D1&keywords=elmers+disappearing+purple+liquid+school+glue&qid=1572698053&sprefix=elmers+liquid+purple%2Caps%2C399&sr=8-1). 5 oz of it costs less then $3 at Walmart. There is an Amazon branded version of the glue also, but I haven't tested it. It works much better then the tape as I have absolutely no issues with it at all. I'm getting those 'near two thousand dollar printer quality prints' now that I read about all the time that the CE3 is capable of. I put on just enough to cover the area that I'm printing on and a little goes a long way. It's generally good for about 2 or 3 prints. It's washable, so it's easy to clean and reapply when needed. Some people use the glue stick version, but there are complaints about that somewhat 'globbing' on and being less evenly distributed on the bed.
I basically consider the glass to be a good starting point for getting a good basic level bed surface as compared to trusting that the build plate is true. One of these days I plan to try out a PEI sheet (on top of the glass). Many claim it's the absolute best, but for my budget at this time, it's too deep for my pockets at $15 a sheet.
I use liquid glue for my PLA prints.
Mixed 1 part glue to 2 parts distilled water to thin it out. Wipe a very thin layer onto my heated bed with a sponge and let the heat dry it. leaves a very thin, even layer of glue. Parts stick like crazy while it's heated and when the bed cools down, the parts just lift right off with no effort. I have never needed to use any kind of tools to get my parts up.

Oh, and the glue washes right off with a little soap and water.
