Dan do you have a link to a guide of how you setup your Dream? also is there filling issues, sure i read somewhere they are a nightmare to fill?

I have a dream
I have it set up with microcoil & cotton wool it vapes like a champ & no dry hits. Best way to fill it is to put a bung in mouth piece hole, unscrew bottom and just raise enough to put needle tip in and fill it upside down with syringe

Thanks for the tip, just ordered one from Charlies Vape shop

If you have a carto lying around the little white bung thing some have in the end is perfect fit, I glued one onto a push pin and is ideal as a bung


my homemade bung



inserted into Dream





& what I think is best way to fill it (2 hands though)

Micro coil with cotton wool is by far the best in my opinion

As far as filling goes, I've found this method to be foolproof.

Take drip tip off, and put some blutak in it's place.
Turn whole atty upside down and unscrew base. This leaves the Tube with the topcap in one hand and the base with chimney(s) in the other.
Fill tube up just over 1/4 full with juice and replace base. If the juice comes to the threads at the bottom of the tube when screwing the atty together, you've overfilled it.
Once tightened turn up the right way and remove the blutak.
clean out any juice from the drip tip well and reattach the drip tip
Unscrew drip well from the bottom and get rid of any overflowed juice from both the drip well and the bottom of the main body (should be minimal)
Reattach the drip well to the main body making sure the spring is sitting centrally with the narrowest part facing downwards.
vape away!!

You may find that you have a few gurgles if the chamber has flooded but this will go after a few drags. 

I personally found the Dream a bit tight on the draw out of the box and so I drilled the airhole out to 1.5mm. It's now perfect!

here's a video showing how I setup my wick. you want it just long enough so it wraps around just to the edge of the channels...



It's VERY similar to the Lite in many ways (bear in mind the Dream is a clone of the Kayfun mini) but it doesn't have a 2 part chimney.

I would recommend getting the extended version though as juice capacity isn't all that great!! (~1.5ml standard and ~3.5ml extended)

Oh, and should you wish to, you can replace the tubes with vivi nova tubes. Metal ones give you the option of fitting a fill screw to avoid taking it apart, and the 8ml version gives you full clear tank in extended mode like this

I like that Dan got to buy an 8ml viva nova now

I've been very tempted to order a couple myself but just havn't got around to it (borrowed pic from UKV)

£5.34 each from here, or £10 each from here

Havn't found anywhere that sells just the tube though...

[Super-Shiny]

Thanks for the tips Dan

Yep got the extended version, should be fine with just 3ml.

Judging by that video it looks pretty much the same as this:



What size wick do you use?

[Dan]

No problem fella!

Yeah, pretty much the same..

Wick ive used with success is 1mm and 2mm eko, and 1mm and 2mm silica.

1mm eko makes a nice figure of 8 but there isn't enough room for 2mm eko with this method IMO..

Doubled up 2mm eko wrapped around base.
Trebled up 1mm eko wrappes around the base.
8 strands 1mm silica( 4 cut close to coil, 4 wrapped)
6 strands 2mm silica (3 cut close, 3 wrapped)

Super-Shiny did you have any customs charges etc with the pink mule order?

Looking to get the tube and atty holder but i'm a bit worried that a £50 order may not get though customs..?

[dragon]

You shouldn't get customs charges for within the eu (pink mule is in spain). They are entitled to open it if they think it is illegal/dangerous, but you really have nothing to worry about
