I have three of these, so far two of them have given me a burn taste for no apparant reason. When checking the resistance I found that in both cases the resistance had gone down from about 2 or 2.1 ohms to 1.5 ohms ish. After a wash out and a dry burn or two they were still the same. I gave the position of them in relation to each other a quick tweek with a toothpic and the resistance went back to 2 ohms. After a while they must have started touching each other causing a partial short. When I tried them again they worked fine, no burn taste. Just something to watch out for. Cant post any pics, cause you cant actually see the problem but if you just try to raise the top one ever so slightly, you may find that it is back to normal and no more burn taste. Worth a try, they are not cheap

I had that with mine robby I found the top touching the bottom coil, so I had to do a rewick, and they are not easy to do can be a quite fiddly job

My first I Clear lasted about 5 days before the tank shattered into 10 small pieces.
I got in touch with UK E Cig Cabin and told them and surprisingly she offered me a refund as long as I sent the top and bottom caps back,with no box and no broken glass. Nina said she needed the bits to get her refund. Then she wrote again and said do I want another tank instead? Which I agreed to.
It seems the juices I vape reacted with the tank. I vape citrus flavours. Orange,Lemon and Lime. Someone told me that Vivi Nova tanks were changed from Polywhatever to another polywhatever I have used Vivis since they first came out and haven't had a cracked tank yet. I have been vaping citruses for about a year.
I also bought an I Clear 30 from Robbie which arrived today and I am so impressed with the vape from the I Clear I am willing to change my juice so that I don't get a repeat of the tank breaking. An online vaping friend of mine said she vapes Banana and her I Clear 30 cracked. Mine didn't just crack,it shattered.
Aren't there other juices which re-act to some tanks? I seem to recall Cherry being one offender?
Anyway...Just a warning on an otherwise lovely tank.

Thanks for that Karma.

The concentrates that cracked mine were Inawera Orange,Lemon and Lime. Not sure which was the culprit. I mix my own and vape at 24MG......

Indeed, anything that you think may be iffy, best to use a metal tank or test it in something you don't really care too much about!

When I contacted Vapour room I wasn't expecting anything but I just wanted an amendment to the listing stating that certain liquids may effect what ever it is the tanks are made from.
I checked on a lot of websites selling the I Clear and no one ever mentions this.
I wonder why the Vivis don't crack and the I Clears do?
What are the Vivis made from and what are the I Clears made from?
Does anyone know?

I have just filled my I Clear with homemade Blackcurrant. It isn't as nice as Orange or Lemon or Line but it'll do...
What is a Kanger Protank Romelee? I haven't heard of that one...
Could you maybe provide a link please?

Also watch the swivel tip doesn't work loose from messing with it it's threaded and can cause a lift from the rubber bung on the head
