Picked one up from my local vape shop this afternoon. Have only been vaping on it for a few hours, so ii can't answer all your questions Burnie.
First impressions :
It's very small and light, but doesn't feel flimsy. Imagine a pack of Trident gum, it's about 20 percent smaller in height and width, and about the same depth. For the price, i'm quite impressed by the build quality. All five holes open, it's not a strict MTL imo, much more comfortable as a restricted lung hit. I prefer it with 3 holes open for a good mtl hit. Feels about 12 or 13 watts with all holes open, and 9 or 10 with three holes open. Taste is decent to good imo, although i have only tried one flavor so far. Chain vaped with 70vg juice, and no dry hits. Kinda surprised considering how tiny the juice holes are.
As far as rebuilding, i'm sure it's doable but it will be a pain in the ..... Probably even harder than rebuilding the PT coil as a BVC. Not worth the hassle imo, when you can buy the coil for less than a dollar from Fasttech. Let's see how long the coils last.
Overall, i am quite impressed so far. As soon as my second one arrives from China, this one will be in the car permanently along with a bottle of juice and a car phone charger. I don't think any of my mods will leave the house any more.
I think Eleaf killed it with this one. I predict it will be an overwhelming success.
P.S. This is a tremendous gift for friends and family members who couldn't quit with cigalikes, but find our devices too complicated and time consuming to maintain properly.
P.P.S. For the members who asked, it is very shirt pocket friendly, and there is no way a 1450O will fit in this thing.
That's Great. Can you answer some of the questions I posted in the first post?
LinksSo where is everyone getting theirs and what sort of prices? Both device and coils. I traded for mine but I've seen the device for 9-10 ?bucks and coils on presale for $3.20 for 5pk.
Thanks, that helps.Picked one up from my local vape shop this afternoon. Have only been vaping on it for a few hours, so ii can't answer all your questions Burnie.

Thanks JJ, very useful information. Looking forward to getting mine from FT.1. How is the battery life? Does it last the whole tank?
One of 650mah ones, freshly charged and filled, has been lasting my work day, without charging or refilling, but I don't chain vape, I use it as a smoker would a cigarette. The mini at home I slide back into the PCC when I put it down, so it's always fully charged. The PCC goes a three days for me without charging it.
2. How is the Flavor of the juice? Some devices work better than others for flavor. I went from a cubis type device and I didn't notice any flavor loss.
3. How easy is it to clean and change flavors?
This I can't help with. I only use tobacco flavored NET's so don't I need to do this.
4. Have you found a good source for replacement coils?
Heaven Gifts, Fasttech and PerfectVape (US site).
I just bought some off Ebay and Heaven Gifts is the seller.
5. Has anyone tried to rebuild/clean the coils?
Doesn't look possible to me, way too small for my eyes to even think about trying it.
Duh. Didn't think to save them. Just did a vapecrawler search. Came up with good prices at efun.top. But I don't think I wanna go there.Links
Thanks, good price, But I hate pre-orders.Duh. Didn't think to save them. Just did a vapecrawler search. Came up with good prices at efun.top. But I don't think I wanna go there.
Edit: OK found the links. Both presell tho.
Eleaf iCare Kit 9.6USD | VapeSourcing
Eleaf IC 1.1ohm Head 3.5USD | VapeSourcing
did not have the replacement coils either
Yeah I've never a pre order but I won $5 store credit at that site. Might as well give it a shot.Thanks, good price, But I hate pre-orders.
Just ordered another one from iCare by Eleaf | 15W Box Styled All-In-One Portable Starter Kit total with shipping was $18.98. It should get here before the one from FT that I ordered a week ago Strange that Ecig-City did not have the replacement coils either, production muse be running slow on those, FT didn't have them at the time I ordered either.
