Hi Everyone,
just a quick look at the latest clearomiser from innokin, the iclear x-i.
I bought this device from myepack for £12.99. It arrived 2 days later in perfect condition and in this sturdy plastic case.
Inside was the innokin iclear x-i, fitted with a 2.1 ohm head. It also came with 2 spare heads (nice one innokin!)
This is a dual coil,3.0ml, bottom coil clearomiser with a pyrex tank. Here it is broken down: Note the rubber end caps on the pyrex tank (more on that later).
The dual coil head looks very similar to the iclear 30B but is not identical. Unsure yet whether they are compatible.
Filled up with some "gummy blood" by fuzion vapor and stuck it on the ol' hand grenade.
Keen eyed vapers will notice I put the pyrex tank on upside down. Doh!
In case you're wondering, this clearo is a nice fit in the VTR
It's also works nicely with the kamry k1000 pipe:
Performance:
Draw - medium to airy.
Vapour- excellent.
Taste - pretty rough at first. Don't know what it is about this type of coil but they really take some time to get going. Went through the best part of a tank before it started to deliver the flavour. It's now pretty good.
So no probs?
Hmm. Lets talk tanks.
Good on Innokin to finally get on the pyrex train. They're not quite there though.
I pointed out the rubber sleeves on the pyrex tank earlier. This puzzled me as I haven't seen it before on any of my pyrex clearos. Seemed quite a innovative way to secure and protect the tank. Except it doesn't. My pyrex tank chipped whilst I was unscrewing the device after it's first tankful.
Taking a close up look at the pyrex you can see that the ends are very rough.
Compare that to the smooth loveliness of the aspire nautilus tank:
it also feels thinner and flimsier. I'm sure though that replacement tanks will be available soon and I doubt they'll be expensive.
pros:
3 heads included. Good value there.
pretty decent flavour once the coil beds in.
I like the look of it, many don't!
Fits nicely in VTR
cons:
no airflow adjustment.
flimsy, rough pyrex tank.
better clearos out there right now for roughly the same price.
Hope this was of some use/interest.
Have a great day,
Paul
