OK I had to run out to the dentist so without thinking about it, I grabbed my Theorem set up (even tho I said it wasn't for the street) & jetted out the door (had to leave in a hurry). Several things happened- left the dentist office (vaping), stopped for some food I hate to cook (vaping), heard gunshots (vaping ... vaping), heard cars crashing (vaping WHAAAAT), watch police barreling from 4 different directions towards scene of the crime (vaping), then threw mod/Theorem in my pocket & started taking pics while waiting for my ride to return. :sneaky:

When I got back in the car (about 45 min from the time of the shooting) I hadn't realized it was in my pocket upside down. NO LEAKS!!! :thumbs:

DISCLAIMER~ No Theorem was harmed in the taking of these pics.

LOL thats awesome. Alot of people think the Theorem and Avocado will act like the old style genny's as far as leakage. The liquid surface tension in these tanks are pretty impressive. Hard to believe genny's were so popular in 2012-2013; I hated them since I didint think they worked as intended to prevent having to refill my tank everytime; the Avocado and Theorem truly are innovations and I prefer that the trend goes more in this direction of rda/rta hybrids, rather than the other new innovation of ceramic coils, which to this day I have not seen any reviewer give the "wrap the cotton around the ceramic plate/avoid ever building coils" any positive reviews.

Last year temp control was the big gimmick, which is now mostly panned. Great to see so many new things coming out, the quality of the tanks and devices significanly improving, and the fact that style and the coolness/sleekness factor is now as important as the functionality.
 
I bought one today (found a new local vape shop close to home!) and I've put two tanks of juice through it so far.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a single coiler, and always have been. I like a tighter draw but I still lung hit, so naturally I saw the reviews on this tank and thought it would be right down my alley. I rotate between a KFL+, a Magma clone in single coil, and a Bachelor right now. I am a fan of nickle temp control in my KFL and SS in my Bachelor.

I decided to trust Jaybo and threw this thing on my mod without cleaning it. The form factor is absolutely without a doubt the best atomizer I've ever used. I don't even notice it in my pocket on top of my SX mini. No, I can't take it out with me without a juice bottle, but it's so easy to fill that I could care less.

I did (and still am, a little :/) get some machine oil taste, but nowhere near as bad as other atomizers at this price point. Honestly, the flavor of this thing is good enough that I can barely taste it, but it's there.

I know some other people don't like it, but as a single coiler, I am in LOVE with the notch coil. At 40 watts I could run this thing all day on a single HG2, with HUGE clouds for a single coil, and the flavor is absolutely terrific. I was worried when I bought it that it would come apart in my pocket, but it has been rock solid so far. I will report back when I have to rewick and dry burn it, but after 2 tanks there isn't any build up at all.

The pre-installed wicks are GIGANTIC. I don't even know that I could even get a single mil in the tank with all that wick. I fully plan on soaking it and rewicking with about half of what was originally installed.

The only problem I've had so far has been spit back. The drip tip that comes with is extremely short and a little tight for the wattage you need to run this thing. I attempted to use the powerful mode on my SX, and while the ramp up time was even better than before, I got what seemed to be a mouthful of juice. It's not a problem for me as I like to take long draws and I'm ok with running in normal wattage, with minimal to no spit back at all.

In short, it's been some of the best money I've ever spent on vape gear (keep in mind I'm no cloud chaser). I'll let you guys know if my opinion changes with further use!

I keep seeing people complaining that it uses juice really quickly. But it really doesn't for me. Actually, it goes through the juice slower than my avocado. I've brought it out with me to work today and no leakage so far. I"ve been in the office most of the day so I haven't been vaping on it except during the ride here and 1 break. And I haven't had to refill it yet. I will need to when I get off work though as it's about empty.

I think it's all about how you wick it. When it's wicked right and the coil is in the right place, its better than a decent amount of my drippers. I'm really really impressed with it.

Has anyone else been getting big nicotine buzzes from it? It's weird, I haven't had a nicotine buzz in years and if I don't vape on this thing for a few hours I get a really big buzz from it when I go back to it again.
Man really jealous of u cause mine just leaks by tilting it on the side....really had great hope for this to be my new go to tank but sadly cant...and yes this thing really gives u a strong nic buzz lol crazy!:lol:

That's not leaking, it's residual juice in the deck getting squeezed between the PEEK and the glass when you insert the top. Don't worry about it, that's just as much a part of the chamber as the coil side is, it's not meant to be bone dry.
But the thing is if I leave it on the side for a minute the liquid leaks from the airhole at the top.....and its a mess....my wicks have no prob cause the juice doesnt leak from the wick side but from the black peek side.....really need your help guys...I dont wanna give up on this beautiful tank:cry:

Washing it removes the juice so that the glass catches on the o rings nice & tight. Just a thought did you check your wicking? I think the cotton should cover the slots going into the tank.
Yeah i checked and my wicks are fine...it doesnt leak from the wicks side but from the black peek side and gradually leaks up from the airhole at the top....need help...domt wanna give up on this great tank:cry:

In that regard you've just got to treat it like an RDA. Remember it's not a true tank in the sense that there's no vacuum holding the juice back. With thick wicking, thick juice and careful filling I'm sure you could keep the deck dry enough to spend a day on its side, or a few hours in a pocket, but ultimately it's just not that kind of device.

However, as an alternative, you might try closing the airflow completely and finding a way to plug up the mouthpiece if it's going into your pack. I bet one of those foam ear plugs would fit pretty decently inside the drip tip.

i've decided i like this tank overall. vaped last night with the notch coil in both power and tc modes. i don't like the notch, but i plan to play with it more later. this morning i put in a nice
4 mm 24 g ti coil. i do not like the way the positive terminal works - the wire was a ..... getting it to stay under the grub. and it was tricky getting the bends just right my first time but i know it will get easier. this thing does make great flavor! i'm gonna play around more and report back. for now tho:thumbs:

I am still loving this tank. I have not even tried the notch coil as the flavor from fused claptons is insane. I have been through all of my normal all day vapes and as said before, I'm picking up flavors that I have never tasted. From people's reviews it makes sense that they are mixed because the tank is definitely not one size fits all. I bought one for my local vape shop owner to test and play with and I am waiting to hear from her as she is an old school genni vaper that is currently using a Serpent as her go to tank.

Yeah, that deck has a learning curve for sure. I have the Indestructible so I'm used to building on a deck like that. It does get easier once you get used to it. And the way it's set up allows me to put crazy big builds in it. I'm actually a fan of that kind of deck now.

That's odd. I bet you're missing the little o-ring on the peek insulator. Because I just got up and went into the living room and saw I had left my mod with the theorem on it laying on its side all night, full of juice, and there's not a drop of juice anywhere.
Its there lol I guess I just got a faulty one:facepalm:

Hi everyone:)Well, it finally arrived! I have lots of questions for those of you who have had time to use it. Is there anything special I should know besides it looks like I'll have to trim the wick tails?

Have you tried the notch on other RTAs/RDAs and which ones did it fit on? I'm concerned with the legs snapping off if I need to bend them.

How does the notch compare to a Clapton, my favorite coil? Some say it vapes like a Clapton. T or F?

Thx, I know I'll get different answers from people but just want to get a feel for what most of you think.

I don't like the notch coil. Not as dense and warm as a Clapton in my opinion.

Angelcigs THEOREM has landed & guess what......I'm so exhausted from all the built up anticipation that I don't have the energy right now to even mess with it.

Think I'll go take a nap! ;)
LOL, me too. 'bout ready to take a nap myself. Mine landed in my hometown only to be shipped off to another state! I've been sweating it out for days, now.

They do, but a single fused left much to be desired. Dual verticals brought more to life, but I used fused 28 instead of 26 that I normally use so it's still not enough.
So, you're saying you think a fused 26/single coil might do the trick? Or you're saying dual verticals with 26 cores?
