First post, having trouble with flooding?

[chebird]

Ive just created myself here on the forum, Im vaping my new MVP, with an I-30 clearo. Very exciting as I have smoked my last cigarette 48 hours ago. So I dont know if I over-filled or filled wrongly or tipped my unit to much with it full of liquid, but I got that gurgleing like it was flooded. So I unscrewed the tank from the mvp, and just put my lips around the base, (be careful not to put your lips on the little threads, unless you want them to go numb from the E-juice) and blow out through the tip as many times as you need and that seemed to clear it! Anyways whats the difference between a clearomizer, cartomizer, and atomizer?

main problem with iclear30 leaking is that the bottom of the tank isn't screwed on tight enough. the connector for the coil not the battery.

Suggest you keep the drip tip in the up position when you blow from the base to prevent more flooding. Just blow into a Kleenex or paper towel.

Clearomizer is a tank with a coil (usually replaceable). A cartomizer is a tube with filler material and the liquid is added to the tube. Can be used in a carto tank. An atomizer is in all Toppers, but you are probably referring to a dripper or dripping atomizer. Several types. A tube with a tiny atomizer coil (add a few drops), a coil that you can build usually with silica/cotton and kanthal wire (usually also dripped). There are chimney type atomizers like the kayfun, dripping atomizers like the HH357 (several types) or rebuildable dripping atomizers like an IGO-L/W, etc. A quick look around most vape shop sites online will show you pictures and show the differences between the various types.

Hey Bill... how's it goin'? ;-)

I have an I clear 30 and the reason I have it is because my girlfriend couldn't pull hard enough to get vapor. It also leaked like crazy. My advice is keep it upright, remove the top rubber nipple and clean it off, and when it gurgles rotate the mouth piece while you blow on it. Either side is fine. What happens is juice gets in the mouth piece and when you rotate it gets stuck there. The vacuum you create then pulls it out and it falls onto the nipple, causing gurgling.

Just break it in, so to speak and you will like it. If it's too much of a pain in the ...., dish out 20$ for a protank.

I'll only suggest that all the parts should fit snug. Anything loose can cause some flooding.

I've never had any issues with flooding with the iClear 30. I rotate four of them. Be careful to not get any juice into the hole of the center pin when filling with juice, then make sure all parts fit snug.

I occassionally get dry hits if using a darker-colored juice. I turn the voltage up and do some short dry burns without puffing on it. Turn the voltage back to before, and do some "pipe"-like priming draws. This usually clears up the problem of dry hits.

You can do a YouTube search for how to clean your iClear 30 and how to replace the coil heads.

I like the Clarification!

Sweet, thanks magic Bill that helps me understand. Im currently using the clearomizers i-30 and i-16s I really like the warm vape from these types, but they are juice hogs. Honestly I still like my Evod bottom feeders too they work well and are easy to deal with ie cleaning, dry burning, changing wicks, and whatnot.

I got 5 iClear 30 and only one had this problem.

When I would screw on the Drip Tip the coil head inside the tank would spin with it.
I had to drain it, take the tank off, and tighten the head up.
Now all the others where tight from the factory so that was new to me.

Strangely enough my Evod Elego started flooding tonight, also the air flow seemed restricted.
Coincidentally I put in a very thick cigar juice today, I think it's clogging my burner!
I'm not sure which is thicker, propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin but I'm definitely using this cigar juice for mixing only from now on.

Congrats on the 48 hrs analog ciggy free! : )

You can tighten the coil if you are careful with liquid in the tank.

Remove the top
Remove the white cone and notice the notch orientation so it matches the top wicks
A small flat blade screw driver should fit the top wick slot
GENTLY tighten the coil

Put cone back on CORRECTLY oriented for the top wick
Put top back on.

No juice lost even on a full tank
