My theorem arrived this morning and so far I am enjoying it. The drip tip is not my cup of tea, so I swapped it out for the one that came with my Phenotype L (which fits well btw).
Not sold on the notch coils yet, but I am going to give them a good test to see. So far around 50 watts seems like the sweet spot.
My glass came off and popped back in quite easily. I did make sure I gripped firmly and pulled it straight off though.

Trust me~ I have both and the 24 is a killer just cant stop vapin it~^^
After just a few hours I can tell that the notch coils aren't for me. Will be throwing in a Clapton in the morning.
A number of reasons really. I don't like the flavour, I get inconsistent dry hits, and it can't take the wattage I want so I get below average vapour production. It's just been very underwhelming as a whole. I think a Clapton with higher wattage is what I will prefer.
Ok, I have whipped out the notch coil now and stuck in a .4 Clapton with cotton wick and it has transformed this average performing atty into something really decent. My advice is to get rid of that notch coil straight away and put something else in there. Also, use far less wick. Mine is wicking like a dream now I have about half of the wicking material in it.
A couple of things to note with this to make your lives easier. Firstly, make sure you cut the legs off flush behind the terminals. The airflow section at the back goes very close and there is very little clearance there. Also, lube up the bottom o-rings before putting on the glass. I have done this and I can remove my glass very easily using the method described above which is by gripping it firmly like a handle bar and pulling it straight off.
One last thing to note which I said before, ditch that drip tip as well. I have the stainless one from the Phenotype L rda and it fits snug and increases the bore a tad (it looks far better too IMO).
For the money I am pleased with this. If you are a dripper who gets tired of constantly dripping, this might be for you as it is like an rda with a large juice well. It's not for those that want the tank experience of just topping up with a load of juice.

just recieved this, used the notch coil, trimmed the wick so that fully extended it reaches halfway through the bottom tank. Getting dry hits even at 25-30W. Probably going to do a single coil single strand build in there to see if I can get better results. I do dig the small form factor and the aesthetics of this thing.
Try using a small screwdriver, maybe the allen wrench and get a little space between the wick and the hole it goes through. Just a small amount just a little bit larger then the wrench.
I tried that with the preinstalled wick (after cutting the cotton). Did that again with new wick. Same result. I think as soon as the you get a dry hit you're bound to get dry hit taste no matter how you tinker with the cotton bc I tried TC mode with the same wick that I experienced a dry hit and it still tasted funny.
Dry hit taste aside, it is the vape that I like, you can set it so that the drag has resistance, not too airy, also the flavor is there aside from the burnt taste. I think the notch coils just has too big of an IAD. I think I'm going to throw a 24g SS316L build in there with a smaller IAD (2.5 ~ 3mm) and see how it is.
Strange? I'm using the notch coil, cut the wick so it's about 3/4's of the way in the tank, TC set at 370 deg, wattage at 35 and it's wicking like a fiend! Only times I've had problems is when the atty comes loose, happens more than you'd think.
I'll get you pics if you'd like? The first set up I used the provided allen wrench to move the wick away from the glass, just enough to get the air out. Then with each fill I tilt the tank, slowly fill, then tilt so the hole is towards the top, again to get the air out, and prevent a vacuum in the tank.
It really sucks you are having issues with dry hits, this, other than the glass issues, has been one of the best flavor tanks I've used in a long time! Beats the KFL by miles IMO.
could be that i keep messing up the first time with either too much wick or not enouch space between the wick lead and glass.
Annoying this is you can't change wick without emptying tank.

I agree! And be damn careful taking the tank off! Lots of people, myself included, have had issues with the glass.
Boy this thing was missing me off.....broke all 3 pieces of glass and couldn't get it to wick just right....then I looked through my stuff and actually found a piece of glass that fit. No idea what it's from. Then I put a fused alien in there. 28/36 I believe with a 2.5 mm id..all I can say is wow! This thing is kicking ... now think the smaller id of the coil and the smaller amount of wick in the channel is the key...[emoji180] it

Broken glass #2. This time it was just a small chip on the bottom, but it was enough to make it useless. My o-rings were completely dripping with juice when I put it together. Judging from the damage (and the fact that it wasn't as stuck as the first time), it may have just happened from the glass edge hitting the inner works on the way out.
I'm done with this, it went in the trash. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Is there a similar issue with the Avocado?

I too have had the glass break. I know someone who also broke two of the glass pieces on his. I did order a 5-pack of Theorem replacement glass from Fasttech for about $3.00.
I love mine and bought a second. I built a .8 coil using pre made Clapton wire, 44 watts, single airflow ring completely open over the coil. 70/30 and max VG juices. Replaced the drip tip immediately and did not even bother with the Notch.
