The TECS MSK-2000 is hideous...............IMO
I do like the colour though.

That's a bit cheeky of them. They're both listed as the same price on the Boots website.
My nearest Boots has the Value stuff at £1.29 and the one a bit further away has the Care stuff at the same price.

When I was buying empty bottles, I rang one store and they told me they were 50p. Went to another store and they wanted £1.20 each for them. I told them the price I was quoted and they then told me I could have them for 50p.
I'm guessing that Boots franchise their smaller stores and they make the price up as they go along.

I emailed Boots a while back, asking about their value glycerin and the Care glycerin and got a reply.  They confirm that the value Glycerin is indeed vegetable based but they don't manufacture the Care glycerin so couldn't give more information on it.

Thank you for your enquiry about the Boots Value Health Glycerin B.P PL 00014/5444.

From the information we hold on file for this product the Boots Value Health Glycerin B.P contains 100% glycerol sourced from rapeseed, coconut, palm kernels or palm oils. The product does not contain any animal ingredients.

As Boots are not the licence holder for Care Glycerin 200ml we are unfortunately not able to give you information on the products ingredients or compare the products directly.

I hope you find this information useful and thank you for taking the time to contact Boots.

Animal or vegetable, probably makes no difference but may be useful to know if you're a hardcore vegetarian! 
I imagine that the Care stuff is no different.

I must say that the SVD looks and feels better than I imagined it would, even after seeing it in picture and videos.

The lock feature is also good but I think the ergonomics are going to take a bit of getting used to.

I have a mystery parcel waiting for me at the sorting office. It's one of four packages

1) 2 x 18650s
2) Protank, iclear16 and battery case
3) Protank, french pipe juice
4) SVD kit

I'm hoping it's 4) but the mystery will be solved tomorrow!!

Sounds like a step in the right direction!

What's going on with the V3? I heard they were being recalled due to firing after releasing the button.

kailey, I get the same gurgling but this seems to sort it each time:

Firstly make sure you don't fill over the 3.0ml mark.

Take the iclear30 off your device. Stick a tissue under the bottom and blow into the iclear. It's normal for some juice to come out but this won't solve the gurgling for very long if at all, so:

Take the top cap off the iclear and blow through it hard onto a tissue. Turn the top cap upside down and you may see some juice in the outer rim. Clean that up with tissue until dry.

Get a corner of tissue and wipe the silicon cap that sits on the wicks.

Clean any juice from the connector on whichever device you're using. This is a good habit to get into every time you take a clearo/tank off.

Before you put it back together, check over the threads including those of the tank to make sure they're clean and dry.

It takes a minute but solves the gurgling every time for me. Hopefully that will cure yours When it happens again, just repeat.

(Aside note but I've also cut the notches that sit on the wick a little higher and cut smaller notches for the lower sets of wicks which helped reduce dry hits)

Also I rotate heads.  After a few fills or if i feel it's getting gunked up, I'll change the head and clean the old one under a hot running tap.  Then stick it in a glass of hot water for an hour or so before rinsing it again and allowing it to air dry ready for use when the new head needs changing.  When I do this I do take the whole iclear apart for a wash but all the rest really needs after that is to blow through the bits to remove water and a tissue dry.
