Innokin iclear 30 atomizer / clearomizer

The Innokin iclear 30 is a new addition to the clearomizer range available on the market today. It is larger than your standard CE4, eGo-C, eGo-T etc... atomizers so it fitsl and looks slightly better on a larger Mod or electronic cigarette. However you can have a plinth or adapter that hooks on to an ego battery that will make it look more streamlined.

The Innokin iclear 30 has a dual coil. 2 coils sitting almost on top of each other which gives a fantastic throat hit and vapour with a resistance of 2.2ohms which is more than adequate for all electronic cigarettes and mods.
Bear in mind that the amount of vapour is very dependant on the type of liquid you use and where you get it from but still with a dual coil you will get a very decent amount of vapour regardless. Having an inferior e-liquid will shorten the life of the atomizer no doubt and so will the VG content of the liquid. The more VG (Vegetable Glycerine) you have in the mixture, the more carbon will accumulate on the coils which will decrease its life.
Having said that, i personally use a 70/30 mix (70% PG to 30% VG). PG tends to give a better throat hit or kick while VG gives more vapour. The majority of liquids are 70/30 but some people prefer 50/50 and others due to an allergy to PG can only use VG only.

Innokin iclear 30 anatomy

Innokin are a very reputable company in the electronic cigarette business. They have been around for a number of years so you know when you buy an Innokin product, it will work very well. You will always get the odd one that will malfunction like any other. Even Joyetech with all their knowledge will still have the odd one that will not work or dead on arrival also know as (DOA).

The build quality of the iclear30 is of a high standard as you can see from the photos. The coil heads have 16 wicks so no way you will get a dry throat hit of an i30. There's plenty of wicks there to feed the 2 coils permanently even on low liquid in the tank.

Another feature is the swivel mouthpiece which helps sometimes depending on the vaping position so to speak.

The iclear 30 clearomizer has a 3ml e-liquid capacity which is plenty for a whole day vape for an average vaper. Incidentally the average consumption of e-liquid on a daily basis is around 3ml.

The Innokin iclear 30 has replacement heads as spares which means when the clearomizer dies, you do not have to buy a whole new unit. All you need is change the heads.

The heads last on average 3 weeks. Again that depends on how often it is being used. Persoanlly i change it every 3 weeks or thereabouts.

The replacement heads can be recoiled but it is not an easy thing to as a standard CE4 or even a Vivi or Mini Nova. One of the main reasons is that the bottom of the head is recessed so pulling it isn't so easy plus the fact that there are 2 coils doesn't make things any easier. If any of the wires touch, the i30 won't work.

The replacement heads aren't that expensive. At £3.99 from vapourettes is a good price. 

The Innokin iclear 30 is certainly a worthy option for a serious vaper or someone who is looking for a good amount of vapour, throat hit and above all no dreaded burnt taste and leakage.

Star Electronic vapour cigarette with PCC

The star is another addition to the electronic vapour cigarette range. It features a PCC (Portable Charging Case) by which you can charge the battery while you are out and about. A very handy feature.
The Star looks very much like a cigarette which means it has a smaller battery which lasts anything from a couple of hours to 4hrs depending on your vaping requirement.

The idea of having the Star is that you do not have to carry a big Mod which is another word for a bigger electronic cigarette which are usually much larger and do not look anything like a real cigarette.

As you can see from the photo, the Star comes in a fairly small carrying case which as mentioned above acts as a charger as well for the batteries that come with it.

The Star PCC holds 2 batteries, 3 cartomizers. On the right hand side, the Star can hold a fully assembled electronic vapour cigarette also known as vapourette.

On the left side of the PCC is where you can charge the battery. All you do is slot the battery in and press down. Once you close the lid, the battery starts charging.

There is a touch button on the PCC and 4 LEDs to let you know how much charge is left in the PCC itself and if the battery is charging or charged.

The first LED lights up red when the battery is charging then it turns into green when it is fully charged.

As for the PCC itself. You can charge it through the mini USB port at the bottom which takes about 5-6 hrs to charge fully. Once fully charged, the PCC will charge 3-4 batteries before it needs recharging again which is plenty for a day's vape.

The Star PCC is unlike other PCCs you have seen. It works with a sliding action rather than a flip top. When you slide the body down, the top flip opens exposing the battery, 2 cartomizers and the spare fully assembled electronic vapourette. They are all in one row which makes it look slim and easy to carry around.

The cartomizers can be refilled so once the e-liquid of the cartomizer is consumned, instead of replacing it with a new one, you can refil it. That way saves money which makes the initial purchase of the Star PCC more attractive.

The battery power of the Star electronic vapour cigarette is a respectable (for its size) 220mAh and you get 2 of them with the package. 

The PCC itself has a battery of 1200mAh which will charge around 3-4 batteries.

The Star PCC is available at vapourettes reasonably priced at £39.99.

If you are new to vaping or a beginner and you want to make the switch and want something as close as a real cigarette, then the Star PCC package can be for you.

Personally when i first switched to vaping a little over 3yrs ago, i had to have something that looks like a real cigarette so i opted for something like the Star. My first electronic cigarette was an E-lite which was the one that took me off the real cigarette. In those days they were not anywhere near what they are today. They were more difficult to work with and cartridges use to run out in no time. There is a learning curve when you switch to electronic cigarettes. The main point s the way you use it. Always take longer and slower drags/puffs to get the best effect the real cigarette gives. If you use an electronic cigarette the same as a real cigarette, you will not get the desired throat hit or kick and also the amount of vapour (smoke).
