Okay, I really want to like the Iclear tanks. I genuinely do. Still, keep running into problems.
This morning after vaping about a good week on the Iclear30, figured it was due a cleaning. Have seen how folks drop the coil heads into boiling water. Thought all was good until ... the bottom of the tank is stuck to the polycarbonate tube. Argh!
Yes, I put it together snugly. I did not gorilla grip it. At least I do not think I did. This is ridiculous. If I have to keep buying Iclear tanks just to keep a clean one, screw the tank. I'll go with a different set up.
I tried using pliers to unseat the tube from the base. It would not budge. I see now why the tanks "crack", you have to crack them off the fragging base units. And sure $0.30-50 per tube may not be a bad price. Still, such measures ought to not be needed.
Maybe it was a fault of using Hawk Sauce in the tank. It may cause a chemical reaction which fuses the polycarbonate to the base. No matter, ultimately it'll result in a busted tube or a need to buy a whole new tank each time you want to clean it. No thank you.
I like the idea of top dual coils. Really do, now. Once I figured out my "nut behind the wheel" error, found this type of set up really sweet.
But I'll not continue use of such system if I need to use polycarbonate tanks and they continually break or fuse. Maybe I could try a different juice? 
Sorry, love the Hawk Sauce, Hawk Sauce my precious. Oh well, the stainless tubed Aero Tank does real good too. Ha!
And it is a fragging breeze to clean up. There's no real issue with a tank material fusing to a base. I simply unscrew it, unscrew a cheap Smok Aro coil head unit, clean, refill, reassemble and vape on.
About the only issue foreseen with such a kit is needed to replace o-rings once in a while. Bah. I can get a super cheap kit of those and have on hand, or even just go buy a cheap kit as needed. Wire to rebuild coils is rather cheap too. I like RediX wick, which runs about $8 per 12 inches.
Still, even if I do rebuild my coil heads it'd be cheaper than buying a new $10-15 tank every week. Hm, maybe Innokin has Pyrex or stainless tanks? Will need to see.
