I've got two of these coming this week from CanVape with my new eVic.
Has anybody else tried 'em yet?

Let me know how these work out, Duane. I like the fact that you can use your own drip tip on these. Could work out well on the e-pipes with the fancy drip-tips..
I picked up 2 of these from NicFitNation a couple weeks ago.
They look awesome on my Evic and they are nicely put together. So far no leaks and it's easy peasy to fill.
The problem is wicking. It just doesn't seem to be able to keep up and I get a lot of dry hits unless I take a primer puff or two.
I was hoping it was just the one I had but the other one has done the same thing and I am reading from others that they are having the same problem.
I'm going to tinker with mine to see if I can get it to wick better but I was really disappointed. You would have thought that with it being a bottom coil dry hits wouldn't happen.

They do look great on an eVic, and are easy to fill.
I received two and I've only tried one, but so far...
HATED IT!
There may be a way to tinker with it and stop getting these burnt dry hits, but I'm not the guy who's going to discover what that is. If I'm going to get involved in tinkering with this device more than I have already, just so that it will do what it's supposed to, it's going to be a wick and coil I made myself.

DuaneNeveu - Ya they do look very cool. I've had problems with bottom coils before also (leaking and gurgling) drove me crazy. Just gave up on them. Sad because when you get a nice puff it's great. Vivi Nova has a new tank out that I thought would look cool on my evic. It's called a "STV". I thought I would wait for some more reviews before spending any cash on them though. You might want to check them out.
I've got 2 Vivi Nova STV's, and I love 'em...one black and one silver.

CanVape, of course!
(Sorry if that comes off "cheeky", but when I want something for vaping, I always check them FIRST...then shop around if it's not available there.)
UPDATE:
I know I said I didn't care to tinker with this, but after nearly going postal over wicking and coiling my DiD, and watching PBusardo's video on the BCC's, I decided that fiddling with this can't be any more difficult than a Genesis atty.
So, after removing one of the (short) top loosely placed silica lengths from the build, it's a totally different beast. Now, it vapes quite nicely, although the occasional primer puff helps.

Next I'll try removing one more of the three extra little wicks to see if that'll help more juice flow in without flooding it.

Hi Duane, I was reading through the thread, and I was going to suggest to remove one of the flavour wicks... as you did now... I'm interested to know how it works out with 2 removed, to see if it flods? hope it fixes it.

Ah yes, the secret to vaping a bottom coil with anything over 20% VG. It's the first thing I do with the Kanger T3 too, once the original head gets crappy, I rebuild using 3mm silica and 32 gauge wire. Have had one of my rebuilt ones in use for well over a month.
Didja see Busardo's review on the Kanger Pro Tank yet?!
