I just ordered 2 on May 1st with the 15% off deal from FT. I hope they are made with the same quality as the 2ml ones I got from 3F. Anyone here who got the Plus ones have any issues?

Man I am looking forward to this Pico.My first Istick!!!
Call me crazy but this SXK SMV3 w/beauty ring, Sitting on my Blue Coolfire 4 is damn sexy.
I am going to put together a detailed review/tips/experience with pictures( by a vape dummy )for vape dummies.
I will probably just start a seperate thread so we can link it here when need be.
Or with the O.P.'s permission I can just do it here.
Everyones valuable input is appreciated.

OK, so I tightened up the center pin on both before re-wicking. The regular KFM3 seems to be OK now, but strangely, the Plus is now leaking from the air holes! Both have nearly identical coils and wicks. Hoping it's just residual from something I did while re-wicking/filling. I was not ready to do a complete disassembly- maybe next time if I'm still having issues.
To all the nice folks who've said "You can throw any build in them and they work great." and "They're very forgiving." and "No matter how I wick it it works great." I say Horse Hooey!
If you're a flavor hound like me, it takes some trial and error to get there. Here's what I've learned so far, with cotton wicks and micro coils:
> I can't pre-saturate the ends of the wick before inserting in the juice cups- this method works great with my KFL+, but these puppies just doesn't wick well that way. As others have said, the ends need to be wispy and just reach the bottom of the well. Too much wick in the well = less flavor.
> I'm still not sold on the theory of big fat shoulders near the coil. For me this seems to create a bottleneck, inhibiting good flow. Cotton is a great reservoir, but a lousy conductor, so it seems to me that the shortest, least inhibited route from the well to the wick works best.
> And of course, as with any wick, not too loose in the coil or you'll get the flavor of a burnt fork, and not too tight or you'll get very little flavor at all.

I tried everything. Didn't find a vacuum leak. No leak of liquid either. Still getting dry hits.
It's a little better with half a tank, but not by that much. I get better flow into the chamber if I turn the AFC extremely tight. It creates stronger suction.
My problem might be the brand of vg I am using. Essential Depot is known for being thicker than others. I thin it down by 5% before use in my mix (75%vg). I might have to thin it down even lower.
Next I will try a thinner juice with the same exact wick to see what happens....
I am beginning to think, this tank is not designed for thicker juices.

I have the more expensive 'plus' from fasttech and has been working just as well as the standard version, just ordered another one Sunday
Yes I saw the sale after .. I ordered, but went thru Temco for higher awg 316l SS. Gonna try 30 and 32g.
That could be it. It appears that the juice holes in the tank section of at least some of the clones are smaller than in the authentic:

I was hoping someone who uses high vg liquids would pipe in here. I only use 50/50 pg/vg blends.
I wanted 30g too... LV did not have it tho.
Got the colored glass for my wife's mini from fasttech today, got some coming for me too, but different color of course
