Has anyone recieved these yet? Just put in my order now... Surprised they were any left! And the all important question for those using theirs - are they any good? Got a couple larger ones and a mini with a couple drip tips. Looking forward to trying dripping!

Hey, for £1.20, they are brilliant. I had to drill a new hole on both the larger and smaller one (see my above post with links and info on how to do this) and now i prefer these to my kayfun clones. If anything, the draw on the clones seems too tight now!

They are very easy to set up and to change the wick when changing flavours., I would suggest that you bin the coils you get with the dripper and make a nice micro coil. In fact, i like dripping(!) so much now that I think its time for a orieco storm

Just received mine, asked for three different colours but all the same, I can live with that. Filled and giving it a couple of minutes to soak, needed signed for. Mine are minis.

Well the drip tip offer is open ended ronaldo . . . so just shoot me a PM when you're able to.

Yep if there's none left when you escape ronaldo I can send you a couple too, happy to help out a fellow smog monster 

never realised you were aformer smog monster what part of the smog were you from mate and do you ever miss it

Initially it was very poor, very little vapour etc but no burning taste at 10 watts ..... strange

[robby]

Adjusted the airhole (draw seems fine to me)..... no better.............. took two of the 8 wicks out.............vapor good now but a burn taste.................turned power down to 6 watts and still vaping well and burn taste gone. Not a great coil though.

The two wicks I took out are still very compressed where they were inside the coil so will probably take a while for the wicks that are left to expand inside the coil so gonna keep it wet and try it again in an hour



The brass bit which forms the centre contact sits 2 or 3 mil proud of the outer threading which is fine for making contact, but if you screw it in to tight it could push the centre pin down in your mod. Just tighten until you meet physical resistance, I can see these causing mod atty connection problems if you go to another type of atty.

Received mine this morning (signed for).

Probably take the pre-installed wick out as I don't expect it to be all that.

There was previous talk about drilling out the airhole as it was quite small.

May help

I wonder was the drilling out to help with the draw ?, seems fine to me, not too tight  ???

I'm guessing so robby .

Important part is to get the airhole adjusted correctly in the first place and see what the draw is like from there.

I drilled mine out as i found the draw a bit tight. Also the bigger one tends to leak as it has an air hole under the wick. I blocked this with a cocktail stick and drilled a hole higher up so it was in line with the coil.

Mine is directly opposite the coil (pretty close to the coil the way these are made), draw seems good to me, not too tight and not too loose a draw, maybe just me, I hate a loose draw

[robby]

The hole on these is a good bit higher londongemini and matches up really well with the coil hieght   In your pic it is in the second groove up, looks a very similar atty. Mine is the Mini BTW.

What size did you drill it out to?

[robby]

I didn`t have to drill it mate, the draw is fine X&Y

[robby]

It really wouldn`t surprise me if all that wick is gettin in the way
