There is an iClear 16 which is smaller. I've been using the iClear 30 for 2 days and it's performing really well. As stated in the other thread, the rubber cap might be prone to scorching due to there not being any type of seal around the top part. An easy DIY fix if you want. Aside from that, it wicks like a beast, gives off plenty of vapor, and the taste is great. You also might not be a fan of the drip tip. I'm not big on it but it's not that bad. I would've preferred a plast one but that's just my opinion. It's well worth the money.

NOTE:

CLEAN IT IN HOT WATER/BOILING WATER/WARM WATER! The packaging which it comes in takes on the smell (foam rubber/leather smell). If you don't clean it you'll know what I mean :p and regret it instantly. It a very nasty nasty.....NASTY smell lol.

I've used mine a couple days now. The metal mouthpiece isn't so great, so I'll pass on considering additional ones until a plastic mouthpiece is available. Except for occasionally banging my teeth with metal, it performs well with "Bananas Gone Wild" from MT Baker (pretty thick liquid).

The unnecessarily bulky box it comes in probably adds to shipping cost. I'm honestly more interested in the Kanger Pro tank I have on order. About the same price, bottom coil and has a rebuildable coil/wick like my T3's. I don't think I'll attempt to rebuild the iClear dual coil as it is very complicated. Will only replace the coil/wick assembly on it.

I have 3 Protanks on order. I also think once I get them i'll be storing the iClear 30 away for awhile. It does perform well, but I just have a feeling the PT will out do the iClear in more ways then one.

It's still a great clearo for you to pick up, and is no way a bad device at all. All I can say is to try it out yourself and see. I can vouch that you wont be disappointed in the performance in it.

I'm in love with my iclear30.. i bought 2 for 20$ and just ordered 4 more replacement heads

personally i've tried a few other clearos.. redux, vivi nova's etc.. and nothing is better than the iclear at this point.

monster TH and flavor, huge vapor.

great thing too is that you barely have to tip it on its side.. once and awhile when it gets low

also people have said you can use it for about a month without cleaning it (if keep using the same juice)
i'm about a week into mine and its still performing great!

next on my list to get is the Protanks :)

lol the smell is the equivalent of a shoe factory for sure. It's pretty bad. luckily I had heard about the smell before I got it so I did a good clean job before I used it..

I had seen some reviews that mentioned the smell. I think in the "Grimm Green" video he says it didn't effect the flavor. He also doesn't mention washing it first.
I filled mine up, and sure enough, horrible flavor. I disassembled it, washed thoroughly, and dried it.
The smell was gone, so I had high hopes. Refilled it, and once again, horrible taste. Gave up on it at that point, but I'm sure I'll try washing it again eventually.
I was surprised because I had only seen/read rave reviews.
Anyone else share my experience?

Got mine 3/15. So far really enjoying them. I definitely agree on the throat hit. I am vaping 24mg. I filled up the iClear, let it sit for about 20 minutes to let all the wicks get good and wet, screwed it onto my Vamo set to 9 watts. Took a drag and thought I was going to cough up a lung. Man it was intense. I had to go down to 7 watts before I could take a drag without choking on it. Within a hour I was back up to 9 watts and higher.
Vapor production is amazing. Even small hits produce huge clouds. I am vaping 60vg /40pg.
Flavor, I am still holding my opinion. Initial impression is flavor is pretty good but I am waiting to try out some different juices before I pass judgememnt.
NO leaking as of yet but I am getting a little gurgling.
The drip tip is definitively going to be a love it or hate it. So far I like it. After I vape a tank full or two, I will really know. When I am at work, my Vamo lays down on the dashboard. With my nova's, the condensation build up always gives me an extra taste of juice!!!! love the flavor of the vape but the juice tastes like crap!!!!!! So far I have not experienced this but I haven't been back to work yet. I will find out tomorrow.
I played around with one of those adapters that lets you use your own drip tip on a clearo, like a ce4. If you cut off about an 1/8th of an inch i think it would work. If the iclear 30 takes off, i wouldn't be surprised if someone come out with an adapter for it.

Edit: I forgot to add that the iClear 30 has a very "airy," or loose draw to it on my Vamo. On my MVP, with the beauty ring on, the draw is much tighter.

Yeah, this would be a concern for me as well. Can someone comment on this? thanks

I took both of mine straight out of the package, filled them, let them sit for about 20 minutes or so, and vaped away. I did not notice any smell, good, bad, or otherwise, on the iClear. I did smell the foam rubber when I took it out of the package but I don't believe that any smell transferred to the iClear

I noticed a weird smell / taste after half way through the tank .. To be honest, I didnt think it was all that great .. I personally am a fan of the Mini T3 by kanger as it produces more vapor and hits harder than any non-mod I've tried .. and I've tried them all .. for me its all about throat hit ..

The iClear30 needs to be cleaned very good if your getting a bad taste. The foam packaging if it's been sitting in it for awhile will take on the smell through the wicks. It's really bad and needs to be cleaned asap.

No leaks, drip tip is a hit/miss. Vapor is great along with TH and Taste (Provided you cleaned it ;) )
