I may be going out on a limb... but the moment I see a plastic tank, I tend to lose all interest - regardless of how good something may be.
Avocado. Is it really good? But why are there so little reviews for it?

Upon further investigation, it appears I was indeed very much mistaken. Seems I had it confused with the Nectar, for some reason. Now I want an Avocado.

You won't be sorry
I like this tank so much, I just ordered a second.
I will share with you what I have found to be my favourite way to wick the Avocado. First of all, I only use single coil mode, and use the chamber-reducer.
I found a video on YouTube (sorry, can't link as YT is blocked from my current location) - search for "Avocado Hybrid Mesh" and you should find a video (in French, but you don't really need the sound) of how to do the hybrid mesh "legs" down into the tank with cotton through the coil just touching the top of the mesh legs.
This technique works brilliantly. I used 400 SS mesh (what I had on hand) and this thing is wicking great, even with 80VG juice. I am using a 3mm ID Twisted 28g SS316L coil (7 wraps for 0.6ohms), wicked with Muji cotton. There's quite a lot of cotton on the deck, but it never dries out (unless the tank does).
Two other advantages of this type of wicking I have noticed. Firstly, it almost never leaks - it fell over in my pocket yesterday as was on the side for 30 mins or so, not a drop of leakage. Secondly - rewicking is super easy, as it's just like rewicking a dripper - you don't have to mess with the legs in the tank.
You don't even need to oxidise the mesh as it's only touching the negative side of the circuit - I do in fact give the mesh a quick burn and rinse, but just to get rid of any oil/contaminants on the mesh.
I hope this helps someone to enjoy their avocado even more.

man i love you! i've been trying to get it to whick better having a 100% VG diy juice and man this works magic thanks
Jesus, i was thinking of buying one so checked out that video, and for the love of god that Frenchist spends so much time dicking around with his coil build (i tend to think most people doing reviews spend too much time playing with their "precious" just normally) i wanted to reach into the screen and slap him for unnecessary fiddling
This is the video im talking about and assume you were.
