I've had my iclear 30 and 30s for just over a week now and i've noticed that the 30 seems to leak if its filled over the 2.5ml line. when i first got i never really went over this line, i did notice a few times when i'd been carrying it around that when i switched tanks there would been a little juice on the battery terminal. i thought this was just from my sucking too hard or not drawing all the vaper out when i released the button or maybe that try as i might i left it on its side a few times( is this a real problem?).
Then a couple of days ago when i filled it up to the 3ml line thankfully i didn't put it straight on the mvp i just sat it to one side, then when i went to put it on i noticed it was sitting in a puddle. so i cleaned it left it sitting on some tissue to dry but i noticed it was down to the 2.5ml line i figured i'd hadn't filled it all the way. Then tonight as i was fillng it up for work tomorrow it did the exact same thing filled up to 3 and it leaked down to 2.5. now the only thing that i can think of is that the bottom set of wicks sit between the 2.5 and 3ml markings, is it possible i have a duff head? it did work fine between the last time and this time hence me refilling it buts it been upright since then as a haven't been in work. i'm a little worried about taking it out in case it does leak and fry my battery.
Other than this issue i have been liking the 30, the 30s doesn't seem to have the same problem and it do have a spare head i could try. Right now i've just cleaned the bottom of if off, left it sitting in tissue for a while and then i turned the voltage up on my mvp and gave it a few tokes to dry it off and put it back on the tissue. I'm gonna leave it there over night and check it again in the morning. Then if it looks ok like it did the last time i'll finish of this fill and change out the heads and see if it still happens.
does anybody have any ideas, tips or had similar happen to them? luckily within the week of me starting vaping i've got a iclear 30, iclear 30s and 2 iclear 16b's so i have spares but this just had to happen the day i run out of tabacco and i decide to give vaping a proper go.
Thanks

I'm sure I read somewhere (or maybe a YouTube vid) that despite the markings the iclear30 should only be filled to 2.6ml, but the Innokin site has it listed as 3ml so I guess that's wrong! I don't have a 30, only the 30S and I notice that it produces less vapour if overfilled but I've never had it leak. It must be that it's getting down the centre tube somehow - I'm not sure if a new head will fix it, but it's worth a try. I guess the easy fix is only fill it to 2.5ml

yeah i figured that easy fix myself wasn't that hard basically did it itself! i thought the 30s produces less if i filled it right up but it hasn't leaked. i've puffed on the 30 until its stopped gurgling and i'm gonna leave it on its side over night and see if it leaks. its a shame because i really do like it nice clouds of vape out of the ones i have it my favourite so far, i've just lost a little faith in it. it would be a shame if is only restricted to house duties in case it leaks when on its side.

I've got the iclear 30 and it's not leaking so far. I also have the protank 2 and it leaked like a sieve but since refilling etc it seems to have stopped. I don't know why any of them leak but to me there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it lol.

Ok the iclear is good but the protank is leaking again, daft thing. Where is your iclear leaking from?

it running down the center tube when ever its filled above 2.5 which means the juce covers the first set of wicks. i left t on its side over night and checked it this morning and t seems fine. so i'm gonna finish off the juice in it then swap out the head and see it it still does it. it s shame as i said its easily me favourite the draw on is spot on, the 30s is a little airy for me.
