Yeah, I feel the cap will be a problem at some point, hopefully it will last quite a while. If they do come out with a new and improved version, will we be able to get it stateside?
The new and improved version, was on pre-order by someone (?) on 8/7.:lol:

The airflow seems to be getting looser as the coil breaks in. Getting about 10-12 tiny little bubbles after each draw now. I did get my fav juice mixed up. Now I'm vape happy!

I'm lucky to have a DFW Vapor B&M about 7 miles from home. Just called, they have the coils in stock $6. Gonna run out and get a pack to hold me over while waiting for the presell order.

Looks to me like those FT nr-r-nr coils might be a near perfect fit.
I am thinking the same. :) I already have some 1.6Ω NR-R-NR on its way from FT with my other iCare that is lost in LaLa land. I think 1.1Ω is a little low, so I'm going to try the higher ones when I rebuild.


It's gotten to the point that I don't give an [edited] what Busardo has to say. Used to love watching his videos but now it's like he's on an ego trip or something.
And can you beleve he Did Not know what the actuator on top was, thought it was a fill hole :facepalm: I also used to like his video's, but now he just rambles on, I just jump through them to get the specs and stuff, but he is not always right on that either.

I got about 9 hours out of mine today, but the flavor really was muted. I mixed up some today with more flavor, will try that tomorrow. BTW I am using 50/50 and no dry hits or flooding.

I've got 1.5 1.8 and 2.4. will probably go with 1.5s. If you're familiar with those coils I'm guessing you're aware they vape like a lower ohm plain Kanthal coil cuz all the power is focused on the coil area not wasted the legs.

I caught that about PB and the actuator also!:rolleyes: I think his statement about needing higher nic juice is a bunch of malarky too! I cut my nic when I mixed for this mod and I'm glad I did. I'm using 50% more juice in this toy than I was in my Lemos.

    Phil did the same thing with a grommet carto tank once ( the type I got 4 good years out of ). Some things are below him at times.

    Still, he's been a value to the community.

    He easily could have gotten more vape out of the Icare.

    I had the plug out of the bottom of the carto while checking ohms. Me thinks Burnie can handle it! Need a good clamp to hold on to the little bugger. Ohmed out fine.

    Yes I know the NR-R-NR coils, been using them for quite some time in my Sophia's :rolleyes: Love them. I get them from FT, get a bad one every now and again, but for the cost, no big deal. I was wrong, I have 1.8, 2.0, and 2.4 in the order coming, guess I will try the 1.8 and see how they do when I rebuild one of these little things. :facepalm:

    I agree, I used my normal 6mg/ml and was just fine nic wise, which is what I mixed for tomorrow. :D

    Well I will Try :D It will be a PITA I am sure, but I really think it is doable. :w00t:

    How's the TH, and vapor? In looking at the head, does it look like there is anyway of getting into it to rewick, or rebuild?
    Can you turn the air flow down to get a fairly restricted draw? C'mon, spill the beans. :)
    You can rebuild, it's just tiny. See @GrimmGreen's YouTube video for tips for rebuilding on it.

    So 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.
    I'd like to know where best to pick up a couple too.

    Did a quick look, where I got mine is out of stock or other sites are pre-order :( Did see a couple that currently have coils in stock.
    Eleaf icare replacement Coils
    Eleaf iCare Coils IC (1.1 ohm Head) 5pk

    Mine I got from Ecig-city (currently out of stock), and I have one coming from FT (lost in La La land Singapore post shipping) but they show currently 9/30 for ship date. I got nothing else unless someone see's somewhere I don't?

    Yup, I actually picked up a pack yesterday at their B&M location nearest my house. Was tempted to grab a third ICare while I was there but only color they had was black. Already have 2 black ones. Want a cyan and a gold (tan?)

    How much is the iCare at your B&M?
