When the innokin iClear 30 was released everyone couldn't wait to get their hands on them, I pre-ordered 3 myself! Now that everyone has had a chance to try the iClear 30 I'm curious what everyone thinks about them. I make these types of posts because when I got into vaping I would search forever looking for info on items I thought looked interesting, so I thought it would be a great idea to ask you guys who have used different clearos and tanks such as the iClear 30 to not only give you a chance to weigh in with your thoughts, but to also provide useful information for new vapers wanting to find out more. Here is also a link, iClear 30 article, that might help as well. Thanks everyone! I look forward to reading your comments! :D

I apologize for not choosing a better subject line as I was really wanting feedback on the iClear 30 as a whole and not just if more wicks make for a better vape. Also think about when you first started vaping before learning how it all works, more wicks may appear to be some revolution in liquid delivery. The point of this post was to help those NEW vapers understand the product better and as a review for those who have not purchased one but are considering it. Thanks and again, sorry for the confusion.

Its more surface area of coil on the wick as well as coil temp. More wick alone doesnt equal better vape

I agree however the concept behind the iClear 30 is more wicks to saturate equals a higher probability that liquid will stay fed to the coils vs with a lesser amount. If the wicks are not wet when the coils heat up the vaper will get a dry hit which very much effects the quality of the vape. Its all in how you look at it. But i wasn't expecting the subject line to be taken quite so literal as much as it was intended as more of an attention getter. But again, your point is valid provided the wick is wet as well.

I've been pretty impressed with the iClear30. Just what you are describing is why I always went carto-tank over wick tank/clearomizer prior to the iClear. My first 'wicking' experience was with the original GIANTOMIZER v1 and the Royal Smoker CE3/4. I consider myself a heavy vaper (by volume not nic level), and when my hands aren't occupied I rarely put my vape down. On a day off where I'm just laying around the house watching tv I can go through 8-10ml easy. That doesn't give the wick much time to recover before the next 'toot' as GrimmGreen likes to say. None of the wicking clearomizers or tanks I tried could ever keep up until I tried the iClear30. I wasn't planning on trying them except I happened to receive them as part of my Innokin SVD kit. I was really surprised by their performance and now they are my go to product on my devices that can handle them. I still run Boge cartos on my other non-tankable gear like my Darwin.

I know all about that heavy vapin, and I work from home so I vape about 7ml a day on average. I prefer bottom coil for the same reason and am running two Protanks and the new TS3. When I was into carto tanks I used Boge f16 cartos and they wicked pretty well and had great flavor. I'm surprised you don't do bcc. Did you have a bad experience or just preference?

No I have a couple ProTanks, and they work pretty good for me. The article was about wicks so I was trying to keep on topic. I'm looking at getting enough to last me a while in the current group buy, and maybe some of the colored Protanks I see coming out. I mainly let my g/f use the Protanks as they are a bit easier to work with and a bit sturdier as well since she's a new vaper. From what I understand there are pyrex iClears in the works so I'll have to try them out as well.
