I've been using an iclear 30 for a week, between 8 and 10 watts. I get a burning taste occasionally, but not all the time. I notice it mostly if I take more than a few seconds on an inhale. I washed it out earlier today, which seemed to help, but its coming back again. Is this the atomizer? I feel like its kinda quick for it to burn out. Or is it the juice? Is there a way I can easily fix it?

Being that the iClear 30 is a top coil/wick design, as the juice level in the tank drops down as you use it, the top part of the wicks can have difficulty staying wet, resulting in some "dry" or "burnt" hits. The wicks are fighting gravity.

Occassionally tilt the iClear sideways to allow the upper wicks to get nice and wet.

You do know that at some point the coil/wick will need to be replaced, right? When your vape consistantly tastes burnt or the flavor is just "meh", its time to replace the coil. Coils will normally last about 10 - 20 days.

Maybe the drip tip is too screwed in. Put it a little loose and check.
