welcome all new members. I just pretty much told my two week life story of vaping here (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/456662-new-around-here-2.html) Please let me know what your vape stories are like. Besides flavors I find keeping myself busy on this forum is also helping me off of real cigs. I found a pack of real cigs in back seat of car and can't decide to throw it away or keep keep talking on here to avoid confrontation with it :)

I have the iClear 30. They're actually pretty good for a top coil. Some members swear by them. I'm not one of them. I prefer bottom coils with their more saturated flavor, better wicking, less burning and less dry hits plus position independence. For those reasons, I switched to bottom coils and have never looked back. What are the problems you are having? Wicking, burning, dry hits, or leaking?

Thanks for the welcome. When I first got it I was extremely satisfied. After about a day my top coil popped, so I thought " oh well, I'll change the head". After that leaking, dry hits, little throat hit and vapor. Wow! Changed the head again same issue. My vivi's are out performing. Getting pretty annoyed. I gues I'll stick to my rba's. Again, thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to ECF! This forum has been essential for me in continuing to vape, both because of all the information available (that I'd probably never learn otherwise) and because of the support (I live in a tiny farming "town" in nowhere, WI - where I've never seen another vaper).

As far as your clearo issues, I'm sorry to say that don't know anything about that particular type but I'm using Crystal Vision (CE5 type?) rebuildable clearomizers from Nhaler (1.6ml with 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohm heads - top coil & come with one each, short wicks, but you can also purchase replacement heads separately or in packs of 5 in short or long wick in whichever of the ohm options you like). I love them. No cracking/etching or leaking at all, even in horizontal storage - though I do use a tissue to blow out any excess and wipe up the threads (if necessary) after filling - and no wicking issues even with high PG juice (unless you chain vape like I sometimes do - faster than the wick can reabsorb - in which case you get a slightly hot/burnt flavor and only have to give it a break for a few minutes to let it wick & then it's fine again). I don't even have to do the tilt/swirl thing with these and the short wicks work just as well as the long wicks (for me). Although I admit that I spent a little more to buy several of them so I can dedicate a clearo to each flavor that I vape, I haven't had to clean or replace any heads yet (after 6 wks so far), even with one coffee juice that's so dark I can't even see through it (and quite thick). I highly recommend them.

Very nice vprNomi, I chain vape like crazy. My mod seems like it a part of my hand. I never put it down.

Me too. I refill all of my clearos (currently about 6) and charge all three of my Ego style batteries (with 808 threads, iGo's from Nhaler - one of them a variable volt Revolver) every night. That's plenty to carry me through the next day (if not longer). When one clearo gets hot from chain vaping, I just move on to another flavor for awhile so I don't have to stop chain vaping :)

And I don't really worry about too much Nicotine, personally, because I was a former 2+PPD Marlboro Red 100's smoker and I only use 12mg nic juice (more than that is too much throat hit for me despite the fact that I was a heavy smoker). However, I do notice that when I'm REALLY chain vaping (usually at night, while I'm watching TV), I sometimes get a slight buzz from the Nicotine. I just put it down for a few minutes until that goes away & then continue :)
