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 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.

Venus eternity rebuildable atomizer.

Venus Eternity rebuildable atomizer. (Also known as Vision eternity).


The Venus eternity is a rebuildable atomizer that you can build it the way you would like by choosing the thickness and type of the wick and the same for the wire.
There are many combinations you can use to get your so called sweet spot as you can decide what atomizer strength you want. High, low resistance etc...

Venus atomizer kit


The atomizer comes with 2 options. One for dripping and the other for using as a usual eGo type with a tank cartridge. The venus top part can accomodate a standard 1.1ml eGo tank cartridge. No 2ml adapter is available as of yet although you might find it on a different website.
The Venus Eternity has a standard 510 fitting which means you can use it with all sorts of batteries that have a 510 fitting. Most batteries have 510 fitting now, very few have an 808 fitting. It has become the norm that all batteries and atomizers to sell will have to be 510 compatible so to speak.

Venus Eternity anatomy


As you can see from the photo above from top to bottom there is:
  1. The drip tip which can be substituted for a tank cartridge (1.1ml) eGo type.
  2. The dripping body which accommodates the drip tip. The Venus comes with 2 bodies (dripping body and Tank body) The tank body is the one that accommodates the tank cartridge.
  3. The changeable coil part is the part with the most fun you can have if you are into rebuilding atomizers. Get yourself some wick and wire (many websites do that) and experiment with different resistances and wick thicknesses.
  4. The needle base which also acts as a reservoir for the liquid in dripping mode. Very well sealed. I've been using it for over 2 months now and not once it has leaked.
  5. The Coil base is where you hook the wick and coil to it through the posts. These posts do not need clicking to place like other makes such as the Vision. The downside of the click is that if pulled too hard, might damage the post and you loose the whole thing.
  6. The cone part is more of a decorative item specially if you use the Venus on an eGo type battery. It complements it looks by hiding the screw part of the battery and makes the whole ecig much more streamlined.
You can either make your own coils or buy them ready made from vapourettes. Prices for ready made ones are next to nothing (typically £1 each) with or without posts compared to what we usually pay for an atomizer which is at least £3 up to £10 if not more.

The kit comes in its own presentation tin like box with spare wicks and posts so you are ready to go straight away out of the box.
