The top ring doesn't unscrew...the drip tip does, is that what you mean? This is the new iClear 30S that came out with the VTR.
The top ring does indeed unscrew. It may require a little force the first time. Try wrapping it with a napkin or cloth (so as not to mar the surface) then use a pair of pliers to twist it off. Won't be so bad from the on.

So to change flavors in the iclear 30s do I need another carto or can I just wash the one thats in the tank?

I just gave it a good wash. I was changing from a light, berry menthol to boba's so it was pretty easy. I expect the other way around would have required more cleaning.

Ah crap! I only use Pro tanks 1 and 2 and mini and they are all glass. Well I decided to use my iclear 30s on my VTR and not thinking I put some cinnamin red hot juice in it and it fogged up the plastic tank. I'm real picky about keeping my stuff new looking. Live and Learn. I wish they would come out with a glass iclear 30s

Iv'e yet to see the camo green version. I emailed innokin and they quickly replied "The Jungle Camo have been available, but I don't know whether you local vendor carried this color"

my google search comes up with none for sale, anybody seen it anywhere?

Haven't seen it anywhere either. It seems as if it would be less of a fingerprint magnet than the silver one based on a couple of pics I've seen of it.

Saw the VTR at Quantum for $95.96 shipped with coupon code columbus (which is good today only). Not sure if that's the lowest price available, but it's the lowest I've seen from a US vendor so far. Still on the fence about ordering one.....

Also, review is up from pbusardo:

I ordered a silver from gothic vapor back in September for $119 and have yet to receive it. I was a bit PO'd since other B&Ms have been getting them in (cheaper too) so I contacted them. They will be stocking the camo version. They told me they were supposed to be getting them this week but it has been delayed because innokin is doing a software update to the devices. I wasn't aware there is a software update in the works so I told them I would hold tight and to change my color to the camo. They are throwing in a 30ml bottle of juice and an extra 30s for my troubles.

oh also forgot! the person at GV also said innokin is changing something with the iclear 30s but didn't elaborate. Hopefully it is a removable sleeve so the unit can be either re-coiled or enabling a cheaper head replacement. We'll see!

Hope GV isn't just blowing vape up your .... trying to excuse their tardiness. Have you been able to confirm a software upgrade?
You may be right! I poked around looking for any info on a software upgrade but no luck yet. I sent a note to innokin asking about the software and iclear 30 s but have not received a reply back yet. I'll give them some time before I give in to being duped- lol.

I hope they're being straight with you. I couldn't find any info on the upgrade either, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. It would be easy enough (I think) to add a "remaining battery voltage" bit to the menu. Seems like that is a common complaint feature-wise.

Got my VTR a few days ago. I love it. It has been the best mod I have purchsed so far. I suppose the form factor may not be for everyone but I would recommend giving this one a try if you get a chance.

I am going to make a custom wrap in the graphics shop where I work on industrial vinyl. Will post some pics when done.

I made a template for people to use if they want to make their own skins for the VTR. You can get inexpensive pieces of vinyl on eBay if you search for "3d vinyl sample" or "snakeskin vinyl sample". The template has a 6 mm. overlap at the seam.

The template should be easy to cut with an Ex-Acto knife with a #11 blade except for the tiny vent holes below the firing button. You can use a SE Leather Hole Punch Tool, Heavy Duty 2.0mm - 4.5mm using the 2 mm. punch for those.

Check your printer settings when printing the .pdf files and make sure they are set to print at 100% rather than to fit the page. Open source Inkscape should be able to edit the .svg files if you need to tweak dimensions. Also, most electronic cutter software should be able to import the .svg files. The .studio files will only work with Silhouette's Studio software for their Cameo and Portrait electronic cutters.

These files are for a single piece skin:

I wasn't at all fond of the way my VTR showed fingerprints but I liked the graphic so I did a skin using inset pieces of black 3d black carbon fiber vinyl set in some silvery gray vinyl. I don't think it would be practical to do this without an electronic cutter. Even at that it's pretty much an idiot's delight putting all the pieces in.

Got mine and love it but do wish there was a way to show the battery amount left (like the MVP). Not sure why they didn't put that in. I don't see myself using anything other than ProTanks and Davide Tanks with it. That adapter is ugly.

Do you find a good use for the MVP battery voltage function? My batteries tend to follow the standard discharge curve which is very flat once they drop to 3.7 volts and then fall off like a rock from 3.6 downward. If a battery measures 3.7 (which it will for a good while) can't tell if its mostly full or mostly empty. Do you find knowing the voltage gives you more info than just the green/yellow/red thresholds?

I picked out up today and have been playing around with it. It is my first APV but I have been building flashlights for a few years so 18650s and their risks are second nature to me. I don't really see to much of an advantage to the whole VV, VW thing (thought I am trying every setting to find the "perfect" one, so maybe it do get it :p) but it just looks so cool and feels so good in the hand I just had to have it, features I will rarely touch or not.
