Eleaf iCare 2

iCare 2
(from the website)
The iCare 2 features an exquisite rubber paint finish, giving you a softer and smoother feel in hand than ever. Equipped with a removable 2ml tank and an internal 650mAh battery, the iCare 2 is another ultra compact e cigarette starter kit. The tank can be refilled with ease simply by removing the mouthpiece. To activate the device simply press the button and vapor will be produced instantaneously. The intuitive four color LEDs are for ease of checking battery status. By using a higher strength e-liquid, the iCare 2 with its new IC 1.3ohm Head perfectly recreates the sensation you are accustomed to. iCare 2 - Eleaf electronic cigarette

Consider me super interested. 2 mL, 650 mah, 1.3ohm MTL coil, "pods" containing a replacable(and rebuildable) coil that can be swapped out on the go and switched back and forth... and it's top-fill!? Man, what's not to like about this thing for Nic Salt liquids!?

Looks nice and finally Eleaf put a charge port on the side of the device instead of the bottom like it does with all there other built in batteries. I'm suprised that they went with the old wicking holes on the coil instead of the high vg coils they put out. Glad they got rid of the auto fire as well.

I'm using two, tiny iCare Solo's for Nic Salts and i've been pleasantly surprised with the 1.1ic coils. I mix my Salt liquid at a 50/50 ratio and i never, ever get dry hits. I've never tried the high VG sc coils but i'm sure they're all interchangeable. With this device being able to fire much lower i'm guessing there will be a "aspire breeze competitor" lower resistance coil as well. But who knows.

Flavor should be awesome with the coil basically getting screwed into the mouthpiece directly lol. Though i'll continue to pre-fire each hit away from my mouth in anticipation of that snap/pop/spit that all iCares get.

You mix you own liquid with salt nic? How? :O

Very easily. Instead of using normal nicotine base, you purchase nicotine salt base instead.

This. Just purchase your salt base and mix as normal. Salts in pod devices (and on of my BB's with a 1.6bvc) is glorious for on the go out and about stuff.

Ok, so I've been a huge fan of nic salts (Mr Salt-e) and have recently gotten into diy. I just received an order of flavors and nic salts for my icare and phix pods. I hear it everywhere NOT to vape nic salts in something like my Smok stick V8 or my Penguin. I'm wondering if someone could explain to me why you shouldn't use the salts in sub ohm tanks? Thanks!
Happily vaping!

No reason why you can't. Traditionally, e-liquids made with nicotine salts have high nicotine content (I use 45mg in my Cora). There's nothing that says you can't make your own DIY e-liquids with a much lower nicotine content using salts.

Thanks Retired! I just remember seeing a comment once, someone mentioned using salts in a dripper or something like that (which I'm also pretty interested in ) and someone responding with a snarky comment about the OP blasting their lungs out. I think they were talking about a percentage close to what would be found in the juul.
Anyway, thank you!

I was sent the sample unit for the iCare 2 and I honestly have to say I am very unimpressed. Major amount of spitback. I prefer the original iCare unit.

 

[cigarbaby]

Is it really that bad? looks nice though. What other product would you recommend if not this? I don't like spitback

I was really expecting it to be a lot better. But the spitback was so horrible. I honestly enjoyed the aspire breeze. I'm more of a subohm guy but I take the breeze when I'm going out

If the 1.3 coil in this kit is anything like the 1.1 coil in the rest of the basic I Care line, it's no surprise there is spitback. I had a 160 with the 1.1 coil. Constant gurgling and spitback. Take one apart and look at it. There's a tiny strip of wicking material. Two of the shops I frequent are selling the last of their basic I care units that take the 1.1 coil and restocking with items such as the Aspire Breeze and Penguin. Too many complaints of gurgling, spitback, and juice in mouth. Good devices but in my opinion terrible coil design. Even at 70 vg they spit back. With 50/50 it's terrible.

If you want a visual reference, look at a pic of the I care coil, then look at a pic of something like an Endura T18/T22 coil.
