I'm having pretty much the same experience with the iclear30 as you are with the 16. I had never tried one until I got the one with the Fasttech MVP kit. The 30 is pretty awesome except for the two things you mentioned: goes through juice a lot faster and starts gurgling if I lay it down. I also have to pace myself a little more, I get a little too much nicotine if I chain-vape the thing.

I can't understand what the deal is here... I wonder if FT is getting these from multiple suppliers or something.
I bought a 7-pack of them and they work perfect. I hear the same stories over and over... some people absolutely hate them and others seem to like them.
I decided to just buy iClear16's from now on because they are only 50 cents more and I can replace the heads, if fasttech ever freekin gets them!
Just in case any1 is interested, Fasttech has the Sony 30 amp batteries for $12 a pair..
Which is an outstanding price, these batts go for $12 each from the few vendors that sell them..
I got mine 2wks ago & I find myself wishing I had more for my sub-ohm rebuildable atties on my mechanical mods. I'm a little short on my vape budget this month, but I will most definitely make sure I get at least 4 more of these batteries next time around...Oh & Fasttech has the Private V2 & Trident Clone....AWESOME !!!! Setup...Both work as good as the real "McCoy".....And $29 for both or $12.74 for the mod by itself just makes Fasttech the New VapeMart,that no American vendor could ever be...Happy Vapes !!

Yeah, the one thing that I love about the iclear 30 is how "big" the taste is ... you taste things in the juice that you normally don't even notice. I just wish I could swap out the tip. I saw a post about sanding down a CE4 tip that makes it fit... might just have to do that.

So far the iclear is great, except I'm gonna break half my teeth for sure! Is there any alternative?

Look at the mod link I posted above, doesn't look that hard to do... a CE4 tip has the same threading, it just needs to be shortened to match the length of the original swivel tip.
The Iclear 30 tips are a bit annoying but I have found that if you just leave that rubber piece that comes with it on and cut the center out with an exacto knife its actually very pleasant
Nice list! May have to try the Mango.
Just a heads up, you can get a domestic Nitecore i4(4 bay) for $4 more ($19.95) with free shipping on ebay. Got one myself, works great so far:

I agree with you on the Mango. when I first got it, I took 2 hits off the RBA and it didn't trip my trigger.
I accidentally filled an iclear16 with it a few days later and I've been hooked on it ever since... puts off huge plumes of vapor too.
The Liqua American Blend is really good too.
I'm interested to hear what the beer flavor tastes like along with everyone else.
Hey, do me a favor and let me know... when you get your SVD if the edges on it are all sharp. the one I got appears as if every part on it somehow skipped the finishing process. I'm curious what others look like. I'm talking every single machined spot on it, especially the machined slots in the bottom cap.
Uh oh, i have an SVD coming too ... guess we'll see how it turns out. Going to have to order some Mango on the next order.
Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome and works perfect... it just seems it didn't get de-burred or the cutters were getting dull when mine went through the line. Nothing a honing stone won't fix right quick, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I also haven't heard a single other person complain about this so take it for what it's worth.
You know that batt wont work as good as the IMR batts in your itaste VV/WW right?

I've been buying these and giving them away in kits and they are pretty good quality with the VV twist.

These aren't real Joyetech or anything, but they have all worked for me so far.
some complained in the beginning that the center pin was not making contact and they were having to grind on the plating to get them to work, but I haven't heard that for quite a while now. I've bought 14 of them and they all worked perfect so far (knock on wood).
The threads on mine were a bit crunchy when I first got it, but after a couple of battery changes they are now quite smooth.
