Got it

Giving it a clean right now then will report back later

[Cammy]

Package arrived. It's a heavy piece of kit... Cheers mate

Package arrived today thanks Macca



Love the black tank. Goes well on the Provari.

First impressions.

Looks and feels really good. I had the same problem as Macca with the top cap pinching the juice control and it unscrewed that as well.

Flavour is really good. I filled it with Mentholyptus and it really brings out the flavour. Also tried VR Minnesota Menthol and that tastes great as well.

It is a bit too airy for me. I normally have my Ody's set up to have a tighter draw. Saying that, it is a pleasant vape. Plenty of vapour and flavour. It actually seemed strange going back to the Ody afterwards, so I may start adjusting those to allow more air flow.

One little problem. I found that juice collects in the connector part of the base. This means it will leak out of the air hole if it is left on it's side. One of the main problems with Genesis style attys. I think this is mainly happening when you open the top cap and it unscrews the juice control as well. Juice is flooding into the coil chamber and down into the base section. This makes topping up quite a messy process.

Not sure how they could improve the top cap to prevent this. Other than making it more like the Ody with the juice control extending above the top cap.

As I said, these are only my initial impressions. I'm going to run a few more tanks of juice through it and then attempt to rebuild it. I'll report back on my progress

Mine's arrived too, will update when I've had time to play with it. Initial impressions are 'how do you fill the blooming tank?'

I have had juice accumulation in the bottom drip well on a couple of occasions and none on other occasions..But you can safely unscrew the bottom 510 connector and clean it and reconnect it.

One solution to the top cap "grabbing on" to the cone is to remove the top cap and prise out the O ring and pushing it onto the cone and then tightening the top cap onto the tank. The seal is slightly compromised but this way you can then remove the top cap and adjust the juice control as required and close it down again. But but remember to keep it upright if you do this.

Another solution is to lightly smear the inside of the O ring with e-juice. This will maintain the seal as well as allow the top cap and cone to rotate independently.

The way this clearo is, you can safely open the juice control quite wide and leave it. Because of the high position of the coil, it does not flood or gurgle like the oddy. You can also tape off a portion of the airhole from the inside, to maintain aestheitics, to get a tighter draw.

Recoiled mine as the coil looked like a spider web, found it very easy to do.

Agree about the topcap/juice control, this is a PITA

Airy draw bit fixed by putting a bit of mesh in the air hole

Got a clear tank with mine not black

Really impressed with the flavour on it.

Oh, one other thing. If you take the bottom connector apart, make sure you put the spring back correctly. I was in vamo mode and put it back with the larger end at the bottom and got a short

Didn't matter on the Provari, but may cause a problem if someone isn't using a protected mod.

Nice to have some spare pins and ready made coils in the box.

I'd hate to think of someone sitting there all day just making coils. Would drive ya nuts

I'll rebuild it after work.

[DiscoDes]

Just got mine, looks nice but connected to my Vamo it is showing a dead short. The spring is in the right way I'll have a proper look later when I finish work.

[Deleted]

Mines just arrived and got the same as Des showing a short with the installed coil. Checked that the coil was not touching anywhere and that was OK. Took the coil off and checked the resistance of the body and it was open circuit, good, reinstalled the coil and it's now 2.4 Ohm. Not sure if there was a bit of swarf or something in there connecting the 2 terminals.

I would prefer if the spring was a push fit onto the base, it wobbles a bit and I wonder if it would short circuit if you screwed the base on and the spring was a bit off vertical, if the spring was a push fit onto the post on the drip tray it would lessen the danger of the spring going AWOL.

Those connection posts are going to be easy to loose, one spare in the pack of coils.

It shreds the wick as you screw it together, I've got fluff all over me.

Very airy, will have to do something about the air hole.

Quite impressed so far, for the price, plenty of flavour and no dry hits.

Off to play some more.

Sitting on a Vamo:

I've got mine working. I had to remove one of the pins as there was a short, sorted this now. Is the top supposed to screw off? I've tried to get it off to get the O ring out but it won't budge. If the top doesn't unscrew how do you fill the tank?
I've now put it all back in the pack! It's way too fiddly for me and my poor eyesight!

The top cap unscrews. I had to use a rubber band to get a grip on it the first time.

Dee, it's quite tight and there is not a lot of grip but it will unscrew.

thanks Steve, been trying ages and nothing's moved! LOL.

Think I'll stick it in the classifieds and let someone with more patience have a play with it

[Greigster]

Received mine Macca thanks.
Only been playing with it for 30 mins or so.
The coil that was fitted was all over the place and loose so I decided to re-wick and re-coil. I used 3mm wick 60mm long and .2 Kanthal 5/4 turns and had the coil at the end of the wick. I then wound the wick clockwise as you look down on it around the metal part just above the top of the airholes and whilst holding the wick in place, screwed on the funnel shaped juice control and screwed down fully.
Re-asembled the atty, filled with juice and gave it a few mins to soak into the wick (or you can just give a couple of tokes without firing just to draw some juice up to the wick.
Seems to be working fine. I did it this way because I did not want to shred the wick by having the wick in the channels.
With the juice control fully closed, there is enough space to draw the juice up the channels caused by the negative pressure when you take a draw.
Here is a piccy

Another piccy
My main concern was to avoid shredded fibres from the wick.
I have been reading a lot about the Kayfun Mini and the system used on that seems to be that the wick sits up above the channels, the channels only being used to draw up the juice onto the wick which sits up above.
