Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Given the price positioning, there is not much to complain about this clearomizer. The finish is very correct. Even with sustained use, the “plastic-to-metal” screw threads do not deteriorate. The product is reliable over time, which is rare enough in this category of material to be reported and remains the best indicator of machining and a consistent finish.
It should be noted that this clearomizer had a predecessor, the IClear 30, the finish of which was much less successful.

Functional features

  • Adjustable positive plot? No, a flush mount can only be guaranteed through an adjustment of the positive pad of the battery or the mod on which it will be installed
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, but fixed only
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 2
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 2
  • Positioning of the air regulation: From below and benefiting the resistances
  • Spray chamber type: Chimney type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Excellent

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The product is functional while remaining very simple. However, the following points should be noted in order to use it knowingly:

1. The air intake is via the 510 connection and therefore requires a battery device equipped with air intakes so as not to block the air circulation.
2. 510 connection is not adjustable. However, it works on most Ego or Mod batteries but can cause problems on too deep and non-adjustable 510 female connections. Make sure your equipment is compatible.
3. I have indicated 2mm for the air regulation but, in view of the position of the air intakes, this figure must be tempered. The same ventilation is not obtained as with a reconstructable open in 2mm. This is not serious in itself but fans of very aerial flow will no doubt be disconcerted by the rendering which is rather tight. (without excess)

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through a supplied adapter
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Medium (not very pleasant in the mouth)

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

A proprietary stainless steel drip-tip is provided. It has the particularity of being rotatable and being able to be positioned at an angle or straight, as you wish. Subjectively, I am not a fan of its shape which is quite wide in the mouth and not very pleasant but it can be unscrewed and replaced by a third party 510 drip-tip. With a small downside, not all 510 drip-tips adapt to it. Some do not fit because their joints are too thick, others, on the contrary, will be too narrow and will not hold well. But, with a little research and if you are not satisfied with the rotary drip, you can still find it quite easily.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The plastic box, a classic at Innokin, presents correctly for an object of this price. We may regret the absence of a second resistance offered to perfect the kit as well as a manual even summary, always appreciated by beginners or confirmed.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.6 / 5 4.6 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In daily use, this clearomizer is particularly stable and robust. It does not leak and is lightweight and practical. The filling is extremely simple, just unscrew the top cap and fill. Without disconnecting the clearomizer from the battery or having to reverse it. It is clear that this product has been designed not to pose untimely problems of use. The resistance is easily changed although requiring the draining of the liquid and offers a comfortable life. It is easy to clean and you can do a post-rinse dry-burn to restore color.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

It's a hell of a good clearomiser!

Even if it is starting to date, its vapor quality does not age one iota. The rendering, although less tight than its predecessor the Iclear 30, is not the most airy but allows a nice appreciation of the flavors. The temperature is lukewarm / hot, depending on the power and the volume of steam is far from ridiculous.

It has undoubtedly been surpassed since its birth by the competition on the functionalities, the aesthetics or the finish but its reliability and its constant rendering ensures a good durability in the very moving world of the vape. Too often, it is quite systematic to think that new material is necessarily better than old. But sometimes, when we rely solely on our taste buds and beyond strictly commercial arguments, we realize that this is not always the case.

In the end, despite its great age, this clearomizer is still in the game. But to be completely exhaustive, I would like to point out that his e-liquid consumption rises quickly if we push the power and that he will have to be satisfied with liquids in 50/50 maxi to function at his peak. Likewise, we will obviously not be able to achieve power levels equivalent to those that can be absorbed by reconstructable atomizers. But this level will still be high enough to give a thumbs up to some more current clearomizers and two to three times more expensive. Used at 13.5W on an Itaste VTR, it sends a lot anyway!
