What's your favorite out of the box/not modified clearo for taste and vapor?

[erikbal]

I'm just wondering what all of your opinions are on this. I'm talking out of the box with factory made heads. Not ones that you've rebuilt or anything like that. I have to say for myself I REALLY like the iclear30s, evod and t3s as well. If I had to pick just one out of the 3 to recommend, I'd pick the 30s. What do you guys have to say on this subject? Also I apologize if this has been done before!

I like the iClear b's.

I also say the iclear30S, not only the best top coil clearo available, but I think a far better device than the bottom coil Protanks. The main drawback is the lack of Pryex/glass tank option, and for some, the inability to rebuild the coil. Its a set and forget topper, so ideal for those who want a hassle free tank.

Evods are great too, I think they really shine when rebuilt, but will have to give it to the Protank2 mini simply due to the fact that the tank is pyrex and you have the ability to switch out your drip tip. I find that the PT2mini and the evod outperforms the regular Protank2 even when rebuilt; I've switched over the same coil from a mini into the Protank and didn't get the same vapor production and flavor.

Another clearo I was planning to try but probably wont anymore is the iclear30B, many iclear30S users claim it puts out more vapor and flavor; which I think is a lot given that I thought the 30S had it all.

for reliability, consistency and ease of use Iclear 16 .
For throat hit and vapor production I clear 30s.
For vapor production and flavor Cutie by Jessy.
For the draw i like the Evods.

None of them are perfect though. On the Iclear 16's the flavor is muted on the non tobacco flavors imo.

On the Iclear 30S i don't like the flavor on the tobacco flavors and the throat hit is a little too much for me and i get a sore throat ( i might need to go down on the nicotine level for my tobacco flavors ). The coils are also expensive.

The Aspire is really great sometimes but i get so many dud heads ( Average 2 or 3 good ones n a 5 pack for me ). I always have to fiddle with the center pin to get a 510 connection also. If they solve the coil consistency issues they might be my go to.

Nothing beats my cutie though for flavor and vapor production, but the tank is horrible. they only last a month or so for me before they start leaking. The connection between the plastic and metal portion is not stable. I have started using the coils in a vivi nova tank, but the flavor is not the same for some reason

Can you post a link for the cutie? I've never heard of it before and would like to check it out. Also what VG/PG mixture do you use? Thanks!

I bought mine from a brick and mortar in NY. I think Freedom Smoke U.S.A is the only U.S. Website that carries it. Its a Korean Clearomizer. The heads look a lot like vivi nova heads except a little smaller and use different wicks. They use shorter wicks ( a lot of thin threads of somethng that feels a cross between silica and cotton ). They are a lot softer and and more delicate than the silica used in the other heads ive seen.

I generally use a 70/30 or 60/40 PG/VG mix.

 

[erikbal]

Cool thanks. I'll have to check it out and see what I can find.

I found it here... http://store.vapeny.com/index.php?m...id=136&zenid=f335438a4f8d421c3e0c2365953f037f It doesn't say anything about capacity though, do you have any idea on how much it holds? Also I see the replacement heads are pricey at $3 a piece. How much life do you usually get out of them? Thanks for the help!
Edit: also found it here for a few bucks cheaper

The vapeny site is the website of the brick and mortar i bought it from and are very pricey. Didn't know they had an on-line store. The picture on the Epipemods site uses a different wick than the one i bought ( they look like the typical silica wicks. They might be using different coil heads as the korean stuff is expensive.

Try Freedom Smoke U.S.A. They look simisliar to the ones i bought and are listed at $ 10 and $ 2.50 for the replacements. My heads lasted a long time. I washed them after every 5 refills and used them untill the wicks started to fall apart. The coils were still going strong.

Actually the freedom smoke u.s.a coil pics look like the ones from epipemods. if you check the picture from vapeny heads they are the ones i bought. Don't know !

btw to answer your question it holds 1.8 m

Aspire Nautilis hands down

Aspire Nautilis hands down

way too early to say ... it all depends on the consistency of the coil performance in due time ... so far Aspire's track record hasn't been good in that regard.

looks like a well designed tank, no doubt, but it wouldn't matter if the coils wouldn't be wrapped well when they are mass produced. Innokin seems to do better than Eigate when it comes to the production line.

Protank Aero is amazing. The new heads are excellent performers.

Aspire BDC: You will see a lot of recommendations for this. I will say when they work they are great. This is dependent on your juice viscosity though. Some things just won't wick with these heads. The heads are pretty variable in my experience. The safest way to get these to work personally on a new head, is to fill, a couple long dry pulls, let sit overnight, dry pull a couple times the next day before vaping. Works well at around 4.2v-4.6v on a provari. If you have a good head and some compatible juice, you will have a good experience and the head should last a while. I wouldn't really recommend this as a great out-of-box experience though and the consistency of the heads can be frustrating as well as how they might play with whatever juice you prefer.

EVOD/PT2: Consistent, configurable. I would describe this as the best out-of-box and if you ever care to rebuld it's easy and cheap and elevates these to the top slot of clearo's. 3.8v-4.0v seems like a sweet spot for these.

PT3: Better flavor than PT2/EVOD stock, vapor volume is oddly slightly below EVOD/PT2. The heads really aren't as easy to clean, but as an out-of-box experience it's a step above it's predecessors. I would say of the three listed, PT3 offers best flavor. There is the price of heads to consider though. 4.2v-4.4v seems best. Seems like they should be able to run a little higher, but mine get 'burny' thereafter.

Joyetech Ego-CC: There seem to be a couple products listed under this name. I am referring to the newest version of the bottom enclosed coil design with the vertical wick/stem and airflow channels. Works really well with thinner juices and really good flavor. Doesn't hold very much juice (1.2 ml maybe?). Pretty much a leak proof design. It literally holds the volume of that tiny window which is about 1 quarter of the size of the entire clearo :/.

I would say any recommendation of this sort is really based around your particular preference and juice stash though, and for best performance out of any of these clearo's one would want to do some fiddling/prep to get them to work best.

@caged: I was under the impression the Aero heads were just the long stem revision of the PT3 heads. Are they different?

 

[mscott827]

Aspire BDC Vivi Nova for me. Love the coil design. Haven't had any issues with leaking or dry hits. Great flavor and vapor production in my opinion.

@caged: I was under the impression the Aero heads were just the long stem revision of the PT3 heads. Are they different?

They are. The long stem PT3 heads are much better than the short head. I hadn't seen the long stem heads until I bought the Aero so I thought the long stem revision came out with the new tank.

I see we're pretty much on the same page when it comes to the 30S. I have been really happy with mine and you can't beat it with a fresh coils. I vape 50/50 and never had a dry hit or anything bad at all. Definitely worth the $13 bucks or so from discountvapers.

Maybe you guys know something I don't or have some advice. I put a fresh coil in the 30s on Monday, and it's been vaping really well. Especially last night, it was putting out TONS of vapor and I was impressed. Today though running it on the same device, same voltage and same juice the vapor production seems to have dropped by as much as half. Maybe it's because last night it was in the dark with just the light of the TV, so it looked like more, and now in the day time it just LOOKS like less? I really don't know. What do you guys that have experience with the 30s think?

Aspire, TS3, and Evod are my favorite tanks for flavor. I mostly vape the original Protank just because it holds a lot of juice and it's short for pocket carry.

 

[erikbal]

Strange now it seems to be working well again. It almost seems like I get the best vapor production when the juice level is around 1.5ml. That doesn't make any sense to me though..
