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.

The Vamo Electronic Vapor Cigarette Mod


The Vamo as mentioned in the introduction is a very versatile variable voltage, variable wattage / power electronic cigarette. Very affordable too compared to other mods in this league.
Other similar vapour cigarettes are more than twice its price and more complex to work with.
Where the Vamo wins is in its simplicity. 3 buttons in all to allow for far more logical operation of the standard settings that many people will use.

The Vamo

2 small buttons that are used to increase or decrease the voltage.In the meantime when you press and hold each of them, will give you a different reading.
Press and hold the right button for 3 seconds as you are looking at the screen which will give you the atomizer resistance. Very handy when you are re-wicking or rebuilding your own atomizers.
Press and hold the left button for 3 seconds and you will get a reading indicating how much power is left in the battery before it needs recharging.
Press and hold the 2 small buttons together for again 3 seconds and you can switch the device from variable volatge to variable wattage / power
Can't be any simpler for such an advanced device.

The large button is used for your usual vaping and also to switch the device on/off through 5 click function.
Other devices in its league (well to me at least) are more complex and more tedious to work with such as the Vmax, Zmax and the much more expensive Provari which is way out of my budget. I personally cannot see myself paying over $200 for a vapour cigarette where others are far less. Yes, the Provari is very well made no doubt about it, functionality to me is a bit of a let down specially after the introduction of the Vamo. Why you may ask? I will explain.

The Zmax, Vmax and Provari all work with one button that does all the functions which means that you will be forever pressing the button on average about 7 or 8 times to just change a setting like voltage up by one notch or down.
First you have to press the button 3 times to get into the menu, then another time to reach the particular menu you want. So say you want to change power. 3 times to get to the menu, 3 times to get to the 4th menu then another few times to change the voltage up or down. Each press on the voltage menu will increase the voltage by 0.1v at a time. So if you want to increase the voltage by 0.1, you will have to press the button a further 4 times to reach it. You can do the maths and see what i mean.
The Zmax has i think around 8 menus while the Vmax has 6.
As opposed to the Vamo, all you have to do is press the small button and with each click you will increase the voltage by 0.1v or 0.5w at a time.
The Vamo has a 510 fitting which as many of you know will fit a host of atomizers such as a native 510, eGo, eGo-T, eGo-C, Vision eternity, Venus eternity, Cobra, Genesis, CE4, CE5, the list goes on and on.
It also has a deep drip well to catch any leakage that comes off some atomizers, cartomizers, etc...
Another big adavantage of the Vamo is you can configure it to 2 sizes. A standar size at 135mm and shorter version at 105mm.
At the standard size you can use the Vamo with 1x 18650 battery or 2x 18350. On the shorter version you can use 1x 18350 batteries. Another advantage that no other Mod will offer currently on the market today. I must admit the Vamo is a heavy piece of equipment but you will soon get used to it.

The Vamo also works very well with the Vision or Venus eternity which are rebuildable atomizers. The fact that the Vamo has the facility to detect atomizer resistance which means you can build the atomizer and test the resistance and make changes before you finish the atomizer off.
The Vamo allows the user to alternate methods used internally to calculate the voltage output. The default and recommended setting is RMS. RMS provides a more accurate voltage output. The Vamo may also run in Average (or Mean) mode. Average mode may result in output voltages than displayed. To switch modes, hold either the power up or power down button for 10 seconds. The display screen will display N01 for AVG mode or N02 for RMS mode. To change the mode, release the adjustment button then press and hold for an additional 10 seconds to change to the alternate mode.
The downside of the Vamo i'ld say is its size. It is not a small item and neither it is light to carry around but soon you get used to it and makes an ego 900mAh ecig feel like  feather in your hand.
In conclusion i personally think the Vamo is excellent value for money given the facilities it offers and the 2 variety of sizes.
Vape on!

A standard Vamo kit comes with the device itself, 2x 18350 batteries and a twin charger that will charge either 2x 18650 or 2x 18350 batteries or a combination of both. Great value for money.
The Vamo is available at quite a few websites including vapourettes.com

elips vapour cigarette clearomizer


The elips has been going for just over a year or so. It's shape is a departure from the standard looking electronic cigarette we all came to associate with which is the round type.


Now the elips is available with a clearomizer that makes it the perfect vapourette electronic cigarette to carry around when out and about.


The elips has an oval shape to it so it does fit nicely in a shirt pocket or indeed any pocket and handbag for ladies. Couple that with a respectable 360mAh battery and leak proof makes the elips a very desirable piece of kit.

The early editions of the elips came with a tank atomizer and a tank that attaches to it which is filled with liquid, a mouthpiece to cover both to form the oval shape of the electronic cigarette.

In the past few months, a cartomizer has been introduced which is an atomizer and cartridge rolled into one. What that did is instead of having a 3 piece atomizer, the cartomizer is a one piece (aomizer, cartridge and mouthpiece) all into one.

The cartomizer as you can see from the photo has the wadding material that soaks and keeps the liquid for you as and when you take a puff or drag.




The cartomizer as you can see is very easy to fill as there is quite a bit of space around the centre unlike say a 510 cartomizer which is quite difficult to refill due mainly to its size.
In addition the elips cartomizer can hold a lot more e-liquid than the standard tank cartridge of the original elips. Typically 35-40 drops of liquid can go in a given elips cartomizer.

A word of caution though, if you overfill the cartomizer, it may start leaking plus also it is difficult to tell when it runs out because if you do not get any vapour when you take a drag, it could be that the cartomizer is empty or equally it could be the battery that is running out.

The introduction of the elips clearomizer solves that problem as you can see how much liquid is left just by glancing at the see-through part of it.






The elips clearomizers are much more neat and above all they do not leak. You do not get any condensation either with them and they are very easy to refill too.
They are single coil with a resistance of 2.1-2.3ohms which is the standard.

Because you can see how much liquid is left in the elips clearomizer, you can always be sure that if you do not get any vapour out of it, it is the battery that is running low.

A word of caution. When you use the clearomizer or indeed any cartomizer from brand new. Always make sure to fill it and leave it stand for a good few minutes before you start using it. If you do not leave the liquid to soak through the material inside, you run the risk of burning the wadding material and from then on your clearomizer or cartomizer will have the burnt taste which is very difficult to get rid of if not impossible.
