I have had the iclear 30b for about a week now and have not had a good experience. It will work fine for a little bit and the. All of a sudden it is like the flood gates are opened and liquid will leak from where it connects to the battery. I have tried changing coils and have made sure the coils are not cross threaded and are in tight. I can fill it up and with in 5 mins it will be empty from leaking out the bottom. Anyone else have this problem?

I haven't used the 30B myself but Google pulls up a lot of leak complaints. On the other hand, I've been using the 30S with very good results.

One thing I've noticed with dual coil tanks since switching is it seems to me that after you release the fire button, the coils, like any resistant heater coil, are still hot and vaporize a bit of juice as they cool down. Which I would think allows some condensation that can run down the center tube.

So I started trying to release the fire button just before finishing an inhale and that seems to reduce the problem. Can't say absolutely I know this for certain but it makes some sense and seems to work.

Either way, I don't have much trouble out of the S. It's a nice tank...

Interesting to note. Most of the UK forums have people who liked the iClear30S and didn't dare try the "B".

It was "wiped out" in less than 2 days after all the reviews came back with leaking problems.

Like Karlbomb, I wanted to buy something new today and actually bought a "sale-price" Protank 2 with an airflow controller. I'll give it less than 2 hours before it leaks in epic fashion, then I'll pull out the head and get on with perfecting the rebuild.

(I like a challenge.... I told hundreds of Vapers to avoid Protank 1 and 2....)

I tried a ton of clearos and the 30B was the one I liked the least. I had a little bit of leaking, but the big issue was the flavor - I got nothing from it, and it seemed like the atty got gummed up really quickly. You're not missing anything without it - I think you're better off with your protanks.
