Can I lay my iclear 30s on it's side?

[Truetopath]

Does anyone have any problems with leaking if I lay my vtr with the iclear 30s on it's side? I haven't tried yet and I'm wondering if I'm good to go with it on it's side.

I lay my regular iclear30 on its side on my MVP and it's no problem. I would assume you can.

I've also had mine lay on it's side without any issues when I used them.... should be alright.

Been laying 30's and 30S's on their sides for months without a problem. Not saying you won't because the design of the wicks could allow juice into the air channel but it's not likely unless you have it really full and/or there is a rapid change in air pressure (ie rolling down a window in a car that causes your ears to pop).

Just pulled a regular 30 out of my vape box that has been laying on its side for a few weeks about 3/4 full of juice, no juice in the air channel.

I leave my iClear 30s connected to my VTR at all kinds of angles and I've never had a problem.

Every time I've laid my iClear 30 on it's side it winds up gurgling and leaking. It's the only reason I don't use it a lot. Hmm.... Maybe I'm not screwing something down hard enough?

I guess I have been lucky the only 2 toppers I have ever had leak for me when laying down were the original ego-C tank system that I started with and my AGA-T2s.

The C Tank system was famous for leaking for any number of reasons and the ATA-T2s it is by design really and systemic to gennys for the most part.

There's a possibility that if the top cap isn't on tight enough that it could not make a good seal thereby allowing juice into the air passage. Then there's the possibility of it being the juice itself which may wick better and/or being thinner allowing it to pass around the notches where the wicks go into the coils. I use mostly a 50/50 blend that is pretty thick. I get everything from my local B&M and they mix it right there in the store so I can't compare to any other juices.

By design alone they stand a better chance of flooding when laid on their sides.

Thanks all for the responses. I use a 60/40 PG/VG blend so it's a little thinner.

The center tube is off center in both my iClear 16's and my iClear 30, so there's a definate way for the liquid to get out the top. No matter how many times I take them apart and put them back together, they go off center again. I still use them the most though, because I love the taste I get out of them. I have a pocket in my purse that kind of stands them all upright when not in use, so I've even been commuting with them without a problem. Only time it is a problem is when I put my device down too fast and I don't have time to make sure it's standing up, which usually only happens when my 2 yr old is trying to climb to the top of the refridgerator or something. I have an MVP 2 now, so this has been a non issue lately. That one stands up quite easily.

And as much as I like Innokin products and more specifically the Iclear 30's that seems to be normal. I have a brand new Iclear 30S and the head is off-centered in it and no amount of tinkering will center it.

I'm getting better at keeping them standing because I have started using my RSST without the fill plug and laying on its side results in a juicy mess

i lay the 30s and 30b on their side overnight when charging and no problems with flooding or leaking

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

I have the 30B, and definately no problem laying that on the side. It's a bottom coil though. Unfortunately it seems all their top coil stuff winds up askew.

 

[catalinaflyer]

Well I just had my most trusty 30S flood after laying on its side for a couple hours.

I keep my assorted tops in a pouch and they are usually on their side, never had an issue

If I let my iclear sit upright unused for a few days, it'll gurgle a bit. Nothing a quick blow out won't fix.


Share the cloud!!

i need to put my i30S sideways and upside down in between vapes (chain vaping), to get the wick near the coil wet. otherwise i get a burnt taste. no gurgling yet.

My 30s spends most of its life between various pockets, on its side, and upside down, and has yet to leak a single drop

over 100 fills on the original coil of my Iclear30s...never a problem and it spends most of the time on it's side....the Iclear30 I had however did gurgle and leak so badly it was tossed in less two weeks
