I do have a photo but being on my phone, whether or not I can get it posted up is another matter 😄

Kanger T3D with coils (5pcs)
2 Mello 3 tanks (never used)
1 Mello 4 tank (never used)
Extra coil (each) that came with the Mello’s
Spare rings

Can’t see a way to add photo from the phone but will check when I fire up the laptop tomorrow.

I didn’t explain it well...what I meant with the cheeks touching is that I AM getting air through the tank but next to no vapour. Cheeks nearly touch, lol, and all I’m getting is a little puff of vapour. The air flows ok, but you can just feel that no vapour is forthcoming and sure enough this tiny little puff comes out.

I am hopeful that this was a duff batch of attys I got (or possibly something other than 1.8ohm although it’s what they state) and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new ones today.

Thanks to all for your help and advice

Thanks . I opened a new box of NautilusX atomisers last night (but it was part of the same order) and refilled the tank, then left it to sit overnight. Just now tried it and it is behaving exactly the same as the one I took out, air open/cheeks touching, lol/no vapour I will email the seller and think I’ll sort out a different supplier today.

And recommendations for *reputable* online shops that might stock the NautilusX 1.8 atty’s would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not quite sure if both of my Pico’s are dying at the same time (bought at the same time almost 2 years ago) or if maybe I’ve gotten a bad batch of atomisers?? The Pico’s are all I use (don’t do MTL) and last week I changed the atomiser (Nautilus X 1.8) in Pico #1 which was fine for a day or so then it started being quite noisy (crackling, some gurgling and loud air pulling sound). It’s usable, but I’ve had to up the watts to 12.9 when they are always run at 12.7 normally and it still doesn’t feel ‘right’.

Bet this sounds silly to those who MTL with my puddly 12.7 etc...

This morning I changed the atomiser in Pico #2 and I can barely draw on it at all! My cheeks nearly touch inside , it then makes a “pop” sound and I’ve next to no vapour. The air holes on both Nautilus X tanks (I use a 4ml tank with the extender bit) are fully open - where I’ve always used them - it is only slightly better if I close them two thirds.

I’ve changed batteries, I can’t remember how many times but still the same issues. I’ve been getting the Nautilus X atomisers via a seller on Amazon for quite a while and never had an issue... I just don’t get it. I know nothing lasts forever and suppose it would make sense them dying at the same time but I thought I’d ask here what you thought. For now I’ve got the one that’s more or less working and the OH has had it with all of the noise and bought another (lol) for me today but that won’t be here for a few days.

I’ve dug out the Pico book to have a look at ‘settings’. I know at one time, in the beginning, both were set to the same V/ohm?/W settings but have noticed they are slightly different now, not by much and I doubt enough to keep Pico #2 from drawing at all. I’ve used them so long and they’ve worked so well that I’m not sure what the original settings were that I used

Thanks in advance, I’m off to look through the book! *me head hurts*

Ok, will put these in the charger tomorrow and start using them, will also have a look at Fogstar. Thanks everyone I really appreciate the input and knowledge. You're all stars

Low ohms... no, not me, lol. My little iStick Pico is run at 12.7w using a NautiulsX 1.8 coil. So I won't blow up or melt my Pico then, was quite concerned and haven't even put them in the charger yet.

Hi all,

I ordered 2 batteries - the ones I ordered were the ICR 18650 - 20A/40A - 2500mAh.

The ones I received are: INR 18650 - 2600 (mAh?) with no 20A/40A showing on the battery.

Can I use the new (wrong) ones in my iStick Pico(s)?? Know next to nothing about batteries and just don't want to blow-up or melt anything

Thanks for your well trusted advice in advance.
