This is why I have been hesitant to buy the solo and just sits in my ft cart. That coil design is just like the Cubis. It is closed off on the bottom which allows a pool of fluid to form down there.Ok, having a problem with the Solo. Seems like it is flooding all the time. juice in the mouth, and popping and crackling. I'm using a 50/50 mix. Not sure what to try, maybe a thicker juice?
did u use thicker fluid?Whatever the problem was, it's working fine today. Maybe the coil had to have a little break in time?
I have the solo for taking abuse, so far so good, and cheap as chips so grab a few and give it a shot.Ok, so making another order this week and looking at the I care mini w the PCC..
This might sound a little counter productive but....
I just want a nice mtl vape when I'm out and about, whether it be a quick stealth vape, or something I can throw in the bike bag ...
I mountain bike quite a bit, and the biggest trouble I have is stopping for smoke breaks, lol.. sounds bad, sounds pointless, but after a long one way ride, I just need something for that nic craving. Something about either boredom, or excitement, makes me want to smoke, yea I know. I'm weird.
Obviously carrying smokes is the easiest thing to do, and I can't throw any big mods in the bag (small saddle bag underneath seat ) for fear of leaking/breaking. So this looked like a good potential option as the trails are definitely not smooth.
I was thinking something where the tank was sealed and protected like a Tesla , or Tesla mini, but have a feeling it would leak or worse. So I see this tiny lil thing and was just curious how they hold up... I'll skim through the thread but it has grown quite a bit since I've seen it last.

Possible solution (things I did to make the cubis stop spitting at me for a while)

This is good to know. I've been super frustrated with the flooding and popping issue. Maybe it will get better in a few days...I'm liking my Solo now that the coil has apparently broken in, haven't had any flooding, or juice in the mouth for several days now.
I would say maybe, at best, 30% of the spit-back and flooding issues are due to the "dripping ejuice on the coils to prime" instructions that come with them...The Solo apparently uses the same coils as the Cubis (and eGo AIO)...

Spinfuel discovered a better way to prime the Cubis/AIO coils:
Although the Manual suggests dripping a few drop of e-liquid into the coil head, while avoiding the center hole in the coil head, we suggest NOT doing that. Just fill the tank, leave the coil head dry, and do the following:
Cubis Pro Atomizer Review | Spinfuel VAPE
- Take 3 or 4 strong pulls on the drip tip to bring ejuice into the coil head
- Blow through the drip tip 3 or 4 times to force out any excess ejuice.
- Let sit 10 minutes, minimum.
- Vape slowly, at less wattage, until you know if the coil head will begin to gurgle or spit.
- Once you’re confident, proceed to find your sweet spot in wattage or temperature, and vape normally.
Have you considered trying an eGo AIO?
QUITE small and lightweight...less than $20...anti-leaking 2ml tank...1500mAh...AFC...tank LED...

No. The iCares use the IC or SC coils, not the BF coils. They look similar in pictures, but the Cubis coils are too big to fit in the iCare.So would this work in the icare?

If it's not gonna be your main device for the day and just be a back up or a device you use for an afternoon, I would save the money and get the org.(larger) Icare. You won't need the charger. Yes, I have mods waiting for me at home so not worried, but I have never ran out of battery life. In my case it can get through a work day, or any afternoon.Ok, so making another order this week and looking at the I care mini w the PCC..

I have 2 icares. One seems to be the early model that does not have the white fill line. The one "with the white fill line" works a lot better. Not sure if they changed anything else. That's all I have to judge by.I would say maybe, at best, 30% of the spit-back and flooding issues are due to the "dripping ejuice on the coils to prime" instructions that come with them...
That doesn't explain why the coil would be working well all day and then spit in the morning after 10 hours of rest or why it would start spitting after a liquid refill.
