They're not the iClear 30s heads though, they are the iClear 30 heads.

As far as I know it will be the end of this month before vendors will start to get the new iClear 30s tanks and heads in stock.

This USA vendor has them on their site here:
eliquid-usa.com/product/product.htm?product_id=482

But with no reply to my e mail asking if they had them ready in stock to ship out the following day if i placed an order, i decided not to place an order.
They also show having the iClear 30s tanks in stock too, I was ready to order a tank and replacement head but again due to no reply to my e mail I didn't.

barrynorton How about you do a quick review of the iClear30s for us guys who haven't had the pleasure of trying one? A comparison with the standard iClear30 whoud be very much appreciated.

[barrynorton]

Sure thing, here they both are side-by-side:



The first notable thing about the iClear30s is the slightly looser draw. The good thing from my point of view is that this doesn't diminish too much the hot vape of the top-positioned dual coils. As before that means it blazes through the juice a bit, but I'm more than happy with it.

Physically, the finish is much better. The tank, though still plastic (and I'll review it against the ProTank 2 soon), seems sturdier, shinier and better printed. The bottom and top are less knurled, which interacts much better with the holding ring on the VTR. Under the bottom cap is a locking ring as the head pushes up through the bottom not unlike a flanged carto; this is knurled like the iClear30, but much shallower.



As a result of this, the top sits a little higher. Its heavily-bevelled top edge looks much more elegant, especially due to its shiny stainless finish. The rotatable drip tip is scaled back a little and more rounded. Just as functional except in one possible regard - unlike the iClear30 there's simply no room to fill through its socket, you definitely have to remove the whole top to refill. I do worry about the wear on the tank threads.

Finally, the head. Well, it looks pretty nice. Unlike those 'CE8s', which it resembles somewhat, there's no pretence that what's inside is anything but silica wick. The containment doesn't seem to impair the wicking though, and the DV link above suggests there's not too much a price penalty, even in these early days, for the replacements.

Overall I'm really happy. I'd definitely recommend this.

Thanks for that info
As for the plastic tank, this is interesting to read as in regard to it saying 'Will be not crack when using special e liquid'
I wonder what that could mean??

[barrynorton]

I'm not volunteering to check

Interesting to note that the bottom in that picture doesn't match the embossing on the released version. I'm fairly sure getting that re-machined was the delay in the VTR launch (they definitely blamed the iClear30S).

A couple of things I should have mentioned - well set up, there's minimal leakage and no gurgling. The biggest thing I had to learn was to not quite fill to the 3ml line.

I've found that "Short Filling" the Original iClear 30 is best as well, and with that amount of wick to soak up juice it probably holds over 3ml even if its not filled to the top
