New Iclear 16 problem

[toots]

I've never used an iclear 16 before, got one now but can hardly get any draw from it

When I look at where the drip tip meets the white plastic bit on the coil head I see it doesn't quite sit flush with it, it sort of is off to one side, just a little bit, so I'm not sure if I've got a dud one here.

Anyone else ever had this problem ???

Don't know what to do with it, certainly can't use it like this, not only are the cheeks on my face at full pelt trying to get a draw off it, but the cheeks on me bum are as well, but even that don't work

Seriously though, anything I can do to get it working properly?

Take it to pieces and reassemble making sure you have it flush. It sometimes happens to mine when I'm refilling

[toots]

Already done that Karma, it didn't work, still the same

Just give the plastic body a push and it will line up , mine often go off centre a bit

When I look at it there's more empty space to one side of the coil head than the other, if you get what I mean. E.g. maybe 2mm of space one side and only 1mm space the other side of the coil head. So when the drip tip is on it then it's hanging over on one side by 1mm.

Yes give the tank a push and you should hear it click more central

Umm, what plastic body????? Push it how, which way, it just don't line up jaysey. The whole thing is just 'off' to one side

Take off the driptip, place the clearo with its base on a firm hard surface (ooer, missus!), and press down quite firmly - you should hear a little click as the plastic barrel snaps back onto the base. Then reassemble, making sure that the small silicone washer is on the drip tip, and you should be OK. I used to have this problem at times with the old CE4+ clearos, and this always sorted it out.

The tank bit with the measurements on you fill up
Also check the bottom is flush with metal where the tank attaches . If you can get a finger nail in just press the top and bottom of the whole thing till it clicks
Not very technical but works for me

yeah that what I mean as well , much clearer pushing the tank sideways will line the coil and drip tip up too

Aha, cheers, it's more central now

The draw is still pretty tight, better than it was, but still a little tight - or have I just been spoilt with my mini protank which has a nice loose draw

Try just unscrewing it a teeny tiny bit to get more airflow toots

[toots]

stupid idiot I am, forgot it was a top loader, unscrewed the bottom to put more juice in and of course the whole thing came out and juice all over the floor and my feet as it ran out the other end. So used to the mini protank I just simply forgot

I've given up for now as a bad job, given the whole thing a clean as it was all gunged up and now waiting for it to dry out so I can start again with it.

Must remember iclear is top loader, iclear is top loader, iclear is top loader grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh no !!!! Better luck tomorrow worth another go IMO they are much better than bottom coils although they are thirsty little things ! But no big deal as we make our own juice !

And don't forget when your VTR arrives the iclear 30s is a top filler;)
