Ah that's coil, I've heard these are very easy to rewick.
I don't like building from scratch cos I shake a lot so these would be ideal :)

Just thread the top part down on the mandrel, and that'll hold everything together, and in place, while you get the coil leads set.

I've always find building hard work, I used the rba with my nebox & often got dry hits :(
Even if you don't rebuild - the clr are really good value. I've had 2 on the go for months and have only re-wicked them so far. I will rebuild eventually but they are cheap enough to just throw when the coils (eventually) give up.

Yeah I'm alright with rewicking :)

One more thing re: pico-s - make sure the top is screwed on the right way - with the completely smooth side upward. I put it on upside down once by mistake and it did leak then. My authentic has a patterned top which makes it obvious which is the right way but the standard top is plain & quite easy to put on upside down by mistake.

Well that explained the leak I got.. I had followed your instructions a while ago and the Pico-s worked great.. It dose have a very good vape.

I had re-filled it 2 times and the 3rd time it leaked, so I put it away.. When you posted this I pulled it out of the "Someday I'll work on this" box and voila the top cap was on upside down!!

This is a good atty, it just requires real knowledge and the steps followed.
I will fix the o-rings and watch the top cap placement and give it ago again..

Thanks for posting.. This is the second time you saved the Pico-s.. :)

Does anyone know if the new Joyetech Ego One TFTA kit will take the CLR coils?


I don't have a new eGo ONE TFTA but LOOKING the coils seem the same - then this article from a vendors page, the last line says they are compatible...

I have the authentic pico and clone pico-s and neither leak. The important things I think are the o-rings on the clr adapter top bit. The clone didn't have o-ring #1 when I got it so I added my own. It seals the clr coil (where the top bit has been removed). I also had to replace O-ring #2 as the one that came with the clone didn't stay in place. (The ones I used were 6mm inner diameter & 1.5mm thick - so 7.5 mm OD).

May i ask where you purchased those o-rings and link if possible please.

Also tried this morning now at home again with pico-s but filled it and just left it sit without top cap nor the AFC ring on to see if it leaked so no top cap on and (no Afc ring on) and it does not leak.

Then put afc ring back on with airholes closed off , secured drip tip with its factory o-ring and then screwed top cap on still no leaks.
But when i turned afc ring to expose open airholes to vape that's when leakage occured.

I wiped it and put my hypo needle inside airhole and pulled hypo plunger to suck out any juice which did not amount to hardly any at all.
Now vaping it and it is a very nice vape easily comparable to my ego megav2.
Half tank vaped and no leaks but its tiresome to fill tank and have it leak on initial filling of tank.

So again if you can post where you obtained those o-rings i=as i would like to try them to see if those would
stop the leakage when tank top is secured after filling.
Without afc ring on just to see if any leakage at all no matter how small -picture below .

(hope link worked). The clear one that comes with the pico-s works fine inside the adapter it just isn'the quite big enough on mine (id) to stay put on the top of the adapter when assembling. I do use a drip tip which is narrow enough to allow me to remove top cap with it still in place - so once set up all I do is close airflow, remove top cap, fill, open airflow. The drip tip stays in place until time to rewick - no idea if this makes a difference? I also only screw the clr adapter far enough to 'feel' it''s touching the internal o-ring to make sure the top part of the adapter is firmly in the opening where the drip tip goes.

Did it work any better than the usual Cubis flooding and spitting routine?

The spit-back and flooding are due to the "dripping ejuice on the coils to prime" instructions that come with them...

Spinfuel discovered a better way to prime the Cubis coils:

Although the Manual suggests dripping a few drop of e-liquid into the coil head, while avoiding the center hole in the coil head, we suggest NOT doing that. Just fill the tank, leave the coil head dry, and do the following:

  1. Take 3 or 4 strong pulls on the drip tip to bring ejuice into the coil head
  2. Blow through the drip tip 3 or 4 times to force out any excess ejuice.
  3. Let sit 10 minutes, minimum.
  4. Vape slowly, at less wattage, until you know if the coil head will begin to gurgle or spit.
  5. Once you’re confident, proceed to find your sweet spot in wattage or temperature, and vape normally.

I'm very tempted to check out this tank, it's dirt cheap an even the coils are cheaper than my Nautilus coils. It's just how they compare really?

My experience...

I had 1 Nautilus Mini and 2 regular Nauty's...

I then bought an eGo ONE Mega V2 Tank and a 5-pack of CLR's...

After trying them...I bought 2 more eGo ONE Mega V2 Tanks and more CLR's...

I used up all my Nauty coils...then threw my Nauty's out the window...:shock:

:2c:

I also only screw the clr adapter far enough to 'feel' it''s touching the internal o-ring to make sure the top part of the adapter is firmly in the opening where the drip tip goes.

On my your method worked .
I just thought that o-ring was a spare as its same as the other one that goes on top of adapter .

I used that one inside clr adapter and screwed it on then assembled tank, filled it then opened airflow and waited for it to quickly leak and waited and waited no leaks at all none.
So now vaping it away and will try using it all the time to see how it holds up , i will say again its the same as my joyetech mega v2 in taste department with both airholes open .

What i learned from Geekvape video was to assemble without o-ring then put it in through top and center it
with something small then when drip tip is inserted it is pushed it in place this works fine for me and i do use another drip tip slightly taller than that small one that is supplied with kit.

In that Geekvape video as i watched it multiple times when he assembles clr adapter and paused video at the 14:25 mark to take careful looks for gasket placement and he uses no gasket inside clr adapter cap .
But his camera does not capture him openeing the airholes after filling it.
It pans away as he says he forgot to prime coil then comes back with airholes now open and vaping
it.
So that is how i assembled it and it just was a total failure.

But now due to you and your post about gasket placement its leak free after filling it and then opening airholes i'm so happy to say.

Will post back about pico-s and how it is doing for me after a few tank refills but for now its working as
it should thanks to you.

Yeah this is about the 3rd time I've read this. I'll believe it when/if I try it.;)

Silly question: I'm organizing my tanks and putting some back in boxes but I can't remember if the v2 came with a drip tip?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All mine came with drip tip yes.
Our Siver v2s came with silver metal drip tips
Our Black v2s came with black plastic type drip tips.

Just ordered 7 more black ones from Litecig at 10.95 each with free shipping which is free on any order over 15.00. POP15 for 15% off worked on last order as well but not this order as it expired but wanted to get the tanks as they as not many vendors seem to carry them as they quickly move on to newer items..

Thanks, I must've tossed it in the drip tip pile. Call me weird but when I'm putting stuff back in the box for storage, I want it exactly as it originally came
