I really am disliking the Iclear30

[jclay1192]

Im doing everything to try and love this tank, but it is doing something irritating every turn. I went and cleaned the atty.. tank.. and metal connectors. I guess i got water stuck in the darn coil/wick because after i filled it up and started vaping the gurgling was more than ever. And with this tank you need it to be empty to clean it.. even replace or adjust your atty. You never really get this with a protank , guess i took i for granted. I think ima tuck my iClear30 away and let my juice steep in the tank ;P.. maybe THAT is the problem.. v_v.

How long have you had it? How long did you wait after the first fill before you started taking hard toots on it?

 

[jclay1192]

i've had it for 2 days,, I've taken some hard puffs but I don't like to as I can tell it's a veryyy tight draw and don't want to risk sucking fluid up like a straw

 

[eyebedam]

Well it'll def take a good couple hours to break in before you discover the full beauty of it... If you started tinkering with it right off the bat & haven't given it proper time to break in I can see where u are left unfulfilled. Fill it up & take long hard drags on it every couple minutes without hittin the power button. Just blank drags. Do that off & on for maybe 30 minutes then actually Vape it.. You may be pleasantly surprised... I actually got rid of all my pro-tanks & replaced them with iclear 30s. The flavor is amazing however it does use a good amount of juice.

did you blow out the center tubes after you cleaned it? I blow them out, dry the pieces off as well as I can with a paper towel and dry burn it and I never have any problems,,,,,,,,

His method of cleaning and dry-burning seems reasonable to me. Having water in the wicks when you assemble and fill the tank? That would easily cause issues IMO. Personally, I let my cartos (and anything that I've washed) dry for at least a day or so. I usually put them near the exhaust port of my laptop so they get a nice steady flow of warm-and-dry air over them.

50,000 (WAG) satisfied vapists use iClear 30s... so I'm leaning towards it being you.

As you seem to have no "problems" with a PT, which is used by 100,000 (WAG) more satisfed vapists - Maybe... you're just not a DTCC kinda guy.

You are not alone........Mine do not work very well for me either. They are either flooded or I don't get very much vapor or th from them. Both have had juice in them for over a week.

 

[Baditude]

Different strokes for different folks. I own and use both the Kanger Protanks and the iClear 30 and far prefer the iClear 30. Sounds like user error to me, but not being able to see how you prepare/fill your tanks and your vaping technique I'm not about to venture what you are doing wrong.

I adore the iclear! I just switched this week. I have 2 in use at the moment, and no issues. The flavor you get with the iclear is amazing. Maybe something is wrong with the one you have? I used protanks 1&2 before, and had problems with them. The only problem is the iclears take soooo much liquid. I have run out of my favorite juice by using them this week! The flavor I got was worth it though!

Good luck figuring it out....

 

[CommaHolly]

ah yes,,,,,,,,,juice hogs they are,,,,,,

thank god I DIY, because they gobble 20ml a day of my favorite juice!

 

[Standpoint]

Besides maybe making sure that all liquid was out of the unit before refilling (check the air passage), then maybe the issue is particular to the liquid you are using in the device. Maybe use a different brand liquid. This is often overlooked, and I've found that different liquids can either leak or not wick enough depending on the device you put it in.

 

[KjAthena]

I hated it when I first went to use it....but then I let it sit overnight and thought it had leaked...1/2 the tank was gone, but it just took that long for the wicks to saturate. By the second tank I was enjoying it A LOT. It is a juice hog and I still prefer my protanks for my "premium" juices but I have since run 12 tanks of my DIY strong clear peppermint 50/50 on the same coil with no cleaning or maintenance what so ever. I would not think that changing flavors would be something to do with this tank and I have no idea how to clean or dry burn it but I will continue to use it for my peppermint and enjoy it.

Are they really that bad?!

 

[toddrhodes]

I do really love the flavor of the iClear 30 but it does have some consistency issues. I went with the 1.5 ohm heads this time and that, I think, was a mistake. Anything over about 3.4 volts and it's not good...

 

[jclay1192]

when working.. the iclear30 is very nice.. but doing nothing differently, my tank will begin to make noises and require cleaning halfway through my tank. v.v

 

[jclay1192]

and i agree it is a juice hog.. not including wasted juice i've probably vaped 12ish ML today,, about to snag my moms DIY and make some watermelon

 

[dreamreaper]

Could it be that I use 30/70 or 100%VG juices that it doesnt seem like a juice hog to me?

I only have a Protank2 to compare it too, but it doesnt seem any worse to me.

I only go through about 1 tank in a day.

Patient: It hurts when I do this.

Doctor: Don't do that.
