Ok so where do I begin! Since I have used clearos, I have one flavour that has been the only one I like and I have just run out, so I thought I would fill up my iclear with a new wick and try my cocomel,
I try it, and I get hardly any vapour and this horrific taste, (every so often I toke and taste caramel and cocomel) but generally I get this weird taste that I can't explain, that also makes me cough..
This has happened with about 3 flavours I have tried, is it the nicotine I can taste? Or am I doing something really wrong, I wonder if its the wick isn't wet enough but I'm trying to leave it to soak longer and I still just get this horrific taste and not much vapour..
It isn't the juice, when I toke it doesn't even taste like the juice! It takes like metal wicky weirdness....

Burning maybe? How often do you wash them? Do you dry burn? And clearo heads don't last for ever, unless you rewick them?

It's an Iclear with a brand new wick! and I only bought the clearos a few week ago so nothing to do with that

Sounds like a problem with the new wick, but I've never used iclears so I'll leave to them as does

Lol, let it soak longer why I read the e cig survery results, now tastes fine, the aftertaste of coconut is amazing but the caramel reminds me too much of Banoffee pie

Do you have a VV device? Could try turning the volts down if so?

different juices may require different voltages, that's why we have vv or vw, what are you using the iclear on?

I had a bad head the other day for the iclear 30. Tasted so bad, burnt, with a very harsh throat hit. Nothing i tried sorted it out. Chucked it, new head on and all good.

I'm using a riva! And funnily enough it only seems to taste right when I take a draw as soon as I press the button, the longer I hold down the button without vaping the worse it tastes :S

Have you tried turning it upside down so that the juice soaks the wick? I don't have an iclear so I have no idea whether that's appropriate advice, but I'm trying to be helpful Have you tried turning it off and then turning it on again? Usually works with computers...

I am wondering if the riva is not enough to run the iclear.
Try it on a freshly charged battery and see what happens. If it is ok it means the riva has not got enough omph in it to run the iclear.
