Please explain "tilted the bottom up" if you don't mind.
The spitback is starting to annoy me a bit.
:)
Point the buttom up and take a few pulls...that's what she said! :lol:

I overprimed the coil and flooded it, and also think the fresh coil needed to settle in a bit. If the tank is really full this won't help, when the tank is down a bit in juice, by tilting the device upside down, the coil will be surrounded by the air inside the tank. I did get some small amount of eliquid into my mouth, not a problem for me but if someone is sensitive to this might be handy to have a glass of water handy for a quick rinse...

I'm really digging this little thing, if something like this was available when I started vaping, I may have just settled on it and not gone nuts buying all kinds of things looking for something better. I think these type devices will help many Folks away from the cigs if they are allowed to remain on the market. I am really impressed with this icare from a cost and quality standpoint. It's a winner.

Totally agree. I use the mini version (and have the charging cradle) and I absolutely love it. The only way this thing could be better is if it was easier to refill on-the-go. Fantastic device.

They should make these a little larger. Needs more liquid capacity.
Then they'll need different versions.
Because the reason I use it is for the size mostly.

If they could make it even smaller, I'd be on board with that.
:laugh:

It's my device for when I am going out for the evening.
It fits in any pocket and you hardly know it's there.
:)

I've tried the SC coil. Used with pure VG they created more problems than they solved. Horrible burnt taste. Maybe I oversaturated and I will try again, but my iCare spit and gurgled for a week, and continued having problems after I switched back to an IC coil. It's still not back to normal. My initial take is the iCare worked a lot better with high VG (70%) using the original IC coil and 100%VG just doesn't work even with the SC coil.

The holes on the SC are much larger. Slots actually, which would cause the coil to admit more liquid, possibly leading to the gurgling and spitting I experienced.

Well, then they'll need three sizes.
:D
How about the same nic as a cigarette and about $8 for 20 of them? :danger: I think it's almost perfect. Just needs an airflow adjustment that can be used without removing the tank. And maybe a replaceable drip tip on the mouthpiece.

When I need more than one I just take two. Or three! At about $15 each you could carry ten in less space and for less $$ than some mods.

Hey this makes yet another debate on the world stage about size! And bigger is better!

    Right on. So cheap from Fastech, I just throw'm away when they're empty :) . No refills, charges, or coil changes. Right out the ol' vent window.

    My teen volunteers to clean the roadside every Spring, I'll get'em back. I usually get some anyways, dumb noobs toss em out all the time. Got my first Provari V1 that way, mighta been on purpose tho, :)

    My iCare never worked again after dropping it in water so I took it apart. It was easy to pull everything out of case. Be aware of the short soldered wire from the very top to the board to tight next to the air sensor, which I pulled loose by mistake as I did not know it was there until I had gotten it apart. this should not be too much of a problem though because the whole metal piece at the top where the chimney screws into will come out with some banging downwards from the top. Reinstalling that piece is also not difficult. The very center appears to have a notch as if it was built for a slim slotted screwdriver. So you would turn the whole device upside down put the metal top shelf into the shell and pound it downwards gently with a screwdriver through the center. Here is a picture of what the internals look like. Not sure if someone has already posted this. Btw I would like to find a place that sells the top/mouth piece as well as the bottom Because I want to replace my white ones with black ones on a few others we have at our home.

    I wonder if there is any adjustments to the auto switch that could be made, while apart, to keep it from auto-firing? Or is that a circuit board defect issue?
    Don't know but almos sure it's the sensor that's malfunctioned on mine. Would love to replace it with a button now that it doesn't work. Battery charges and stays charged

    No adjustment on the sensor? I was hoping there was, for the people to customize the draw abit.
