I finally am enjoying my icare mini with PCC. I 1st tried it with some 3mg juice (it's what I had on hand) I then tried some 6mg juice and still wasn't satisfied. I now am using some fill my pod juice and wow, what a difference. I use the mini to stealth vape at work. I've found with the high nicotine of the fill my pod juice I get a nice throat hit and plenty of nicotine.
I took the AFC ring off as discussed earlier in this thread and like it even more now.
Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks!

If I may ask "are you using 20, 35, or 45mg"?

So I have two of these and they're quote different. One or them hits harder than the other even with various coil changes. The second thing is number 2 the auto draw rubber button seems to sit higher and the draw takes much more effort.

Also I see there are now new coils available ? Or are all the icsre go coils ss316? Hard to tel from photos of its something new or not.

Favoring the idea of the vapor shark minnow which is obviously built on the same platform if only for the traditional drip tip options but after trying s my mini which is absolutely awful I'm tentative. Anyone buy the minnow and can confirm its an improvement ? I assume the vs coils are repackaged icsre coils are 4x the price ?

Edit - after a second full recharge number two is now hitting like number one. Thankfully. Also the coils they came with the unit weren't good. Both were like drinking juice through a straw. That said I bought five boxes of five coils from 3f at under $3 a box and those have been working fine. I wonder if when they did s production run of units they had some bad coils get through. None of the coils I've used from s five pack have been bad bit both units had bad coils inside the box. Just some anecdotal info.

I'm struggling with one hitting like juice through a straw. Frustrating since I hate fiddling.

I've had some bad coils that flooded. But I have not been using mine as of late, I just have too much vape gear. :rolleyes:

    Did anyone rebuild the coils with mesh as the outer layer? And I'm wondering if enlarging the hole on the rubber of the autoswitch will help it fire more quickly. Will report back on that.
    Goody, I was hoping someone would get around to modifying that. I was thinking it would be the other way around, closing the hole? It'd be nice if adjusting that would fix the auto fire issue, but I doubt it.

    I don't have any autofiring issues...au contraire. But for autofiring, I would put some scotch tape on the opening above the tankwindow with a small hole in it maybe.
    I'm hoping enlarging the hole in the rubber thingy might make it fire quicker. Tried very carefully so as not to ruin it, but I haven't had any luck enlarging the hole yet. It's tough stuff...or I'm too careful.

    Not covering the airflow. I filled it and couldn't find the right coil so put it back together and waited. I think that's what caused the flooding. Just probably needs a good clean. I hate fiddling. These are so little they disappear in my luggage (aka purse).

    I hope I didn't come off as insulting by suggesting that :) I didn't even notice that hole for awhile, and it's easy to cover over just by holding it.

    Not at all. It was something I hadn't thought of and would've been easy to fix. I always start with the easiest.
