GeekVape Avocado 3ml RTA

[Light Seeker]

Quick tip .... This attys a royal pain to fill if running dual coils - I was dripping more juice down the side than getting in the tank.

Remembered I had a few 18 gauge needle tip bottles haven't used in a long time. Using these, seconds to fill, no spills, & I can readjust the wick with the needle tip when done filling

Good tip. I will do the same when I have dual coils on.

Just ordered one from wetvapes, never got on well with genesis tanks when I 1st got into rebuildables, but this is a bit different, and like the idea of it

Just wondered if this tank has some fine adjustment to airflow. I tend to like some restriction for capturing vapor. I like the Crius but the airflow is more for wide open vapers. Waiting for the g.mini v2 to see what that's like, but this may be a good one. Yours thoughts for now guys?

Well you have the option of the slots for a wide open draw but it also has 2mm holes. You could run it with a single 2mm hole for a fairly tight draw if you wanted to. I like it with 2 of the 2mm holes open for nice restricted lung inhales.

I just picked one up tonight at the local vape shop. 33 bucks, pretty good for a ️️b&m. Finish and machining beautiful, washed and built a simple dual 26 ga 2.5 mm Id, wicked with rayon, it's pretty awesome. If you like it restricted, it's capable of that, I'm running it pretty wide open and getting great flavor and clouds. It won't dry hit, and it won't flood, obviously, it's a very nice vape, best 33 bucks I've spent in a while. .4 ohms, 40-50 watts, this thing is screaming for some fused claptons, the deck is giant and easy to build on. Flavor is great...overall, I can't find a thing I don't like about it, it looks great on my realux too. I put in the chuff cap to try, it is a nice feature. It hits like an rda for sure.

Trimmed the tails pretty heavy, they just fanned out in the juice... Of course the holes are a little open, it would surely leak if I put it on its side, but I don't plan on laying it over... Easy to fill!

Also, the 510 pin is solid, it's very clever how it's secured, I don't predict any connection issues, should be rock solid for you tc users

This little bugger is going to get more popular in these threads. Mine stands out in my rotation for sure. Imo, if this were put out by a high end custom designer they would sell it for around 100+ bucks. The machining is that good.

It's a great little package with some nice options for single and dual, open AFC or restricted. The big ash deck is a total plus!

Got mine today from wetvapes, fast shipping

It is having a bath right now, nice they give extra glass, coil block and drip tip, but wish they did extra screws and orings too though, nearly lost the little screw/nut that goes on the 510 at the deck, took me a minute to figure out how to get fully apart, but got there

Be putting single clapton coil on it this afternoon

Pull the liner out of the box...extras under the liner!

doh me, thanks, thought was strange they gave extra glass etc but no orings and screws.

 

[DP2Raja]

Yeah, took me a minute of scratching my head before I thought to yank the liner out! LOL

I put a fused 26/26/36 clapton wrapped in a 3.5 mm mandrel, wicked it with rayon, lifted the tails and trimmed the bottom by 1/2, tucked em into the tank, vaping great at 65-70 watts, great flavor, huge clouds. Last build was dual 26 ga 9 wraps it was good too, but I like this better! The deck is so easy to build, super spacious!!

 

[John Eldredge]

I'm tempted to put duals of this same build in, but I'm really enjoying the ease of filling through the unused wick holes by popping out the single coil adapter

 

[davevape55]

Sounds like my kind of rta so I ordered 2 along with 2 Griffin's. Can't wait to try them both. Thanks

Well 1st day with the avocado did not go so well, build was easy enough, but ohms kept jumping all over the place, vaped on it for about 20 minutes and the tank was half empty already, didn't have time to look into why the ohms was jumping, so been put up till I get more time, but looking how fast that tank drains, wish they had done it as a full size tank, may be pretty easy to fill, but don't want to be filling it every hour though.

I see people putting the wicks right to the bottom of the tankbi thought that was a big no no. I was under the impression that you just wanted to put a tiny part of the wick to stopper the hole and tilt it when you hit it to wet the wicks

I was really impressed with the 510 connection, the pin screws in from the bottom, obviously, but there is a small lock nut that is slotted for a screwdriver at the top. The positive post is really well recessed in the insulator, it can not spin. I bet if you tighten that nut that is directly between the posts, it will lock the whole post tight and solve your issues. If you need to screw the post out to make a better connection, loosen the nut at the top and then unscrew the 510 pin. Then when you have it adjusted, lock down the locknut up top.

I'm running my wicks to the bottom of the tank. I'm using rayon wicked tight in a 3.5mm fused clapton, but I easily trimmed off about half the tail, from the bottom side, before I tucked it. It's wicking great!!

This tank is destroying all my other tanks, ease of build, ease of filling, (im running 1 big single), flavor, and clouds... It's a great piece, I hope more people get a chance to enjoy it

As with any tank, really, you wick it the way it works for you. The way John wicks his seems like a great way to do it for Max VG juice. Max VG will be thicker and may not move around the tank as easily as a 50/50 blend would.

I've seen people wick the UD Bellus totally different than what works for me, by stuffing the juice channels with cotton. For me, my Bellus stuffed with cotton would dry hit constantly using my 90VG juice, for others (likely with thinner juice) it wicks flawlessly.

All about what method works for you (and the juice you're using.)
