Picked mine up a couple weeks ago and got that nasty burnt plastic taste out of every head I tried. Probably should have just gone with the hot water wash and then vodka wash but instead ripped them apart to rebuild. Used SS mesh wicks and the taste is outstanding. The wicks are so short in this thing you can make a SS wick about 2" long and get enough wicks out of that to last a lifetime!!

After a lot of trial and error and frustration, I finally realized that the problems I was having were due to restricted air flow. Removing strands of wicking didn't do much. I tried a tank airflow adapter thing and that helped a TINY bit. Then I randomly popped it on one of my regular old eGo style VV devices and ta-da, no burnt taste/harsh scratchy chemical taste at all. There's just something about the size of the air holes in the base of the VapeOnly and how it sits in the connector on my eVic that screws up the air flow.

I'm gonna hazard a guess though and say that this doesn't happen all the time. I think it has to do with just where everything falls when you screw it into place. I wonder if I can make the air holes in the base of the tank just a teeny-tiny bit larger.....

It's academic at this point though. The device itself isn't faulty. And I can just use my ProTank on my eVic instead. :p

If you don't screw the Vapeonly on all the way, and UNscrew the collar piece on your eVic to meet the bottom of the BCC, it will hold the BCC in place and provide the airflow you need. Saw that trick on another thread.

Been vaping with my Vapeonly BCC Mega now for about a week and still love it on my ProVari. Not a single problem so far and haven't had to fiddle with the wicks or anything...just fill and vape. This will be my standard delivery device from now on; the DCT I was using will be kept in the drawer for emergencies. :D
 
bought one of these the other day. extremely well constructed. mine has a light blue clear tank with black end caps. looks a lot like a Vision Vivi Nova to me from outside appearances, but the center post is seated strongly in the bottom of the tank with the use of o-rings as opposed to screwed in. the wick system is all housed in the bottom, and i havent taken a close look at it yet but its definitely a different style of coil with short wicks... first impression: the black finish looks great on my black itaste mvp, but thats not REALLY what matters... I put some Apple Pie 50/50 16mg in, and was very impressed with the draw, taste, vapor, and it DOESNT LEAK, which is my favorite part of this tank. in the week i've had it, i've used it every day without any leakage or problems at all, and would recommend it to those of you who are looking into one.

Been another week or so of using my Vapeonly and it's still going strong. Zero leaks and zero problems. Taste and vapor production continues to be good although it declined over the last couple of days. Changed coils this morning for the first time; the original coil started tasting metallicky and masking the taste of my juice. Will try and clean the head later on and see if I can reuse it but the new coil works like a champ and the coil was super easy to replace. Just bought two more Vapeonlys from the classies and plan to modify the wick on one for 100% VG, and probably keep the other as a spare.

I always wanted to buy BCC Mega, looks like I will have to do it soon :)

All of the included atomizers leaked all over the place.
This thing is a pretty puddle.

I'm enjoying my iClear 30.


Havent had this problem at all with the BCC .. Its one of my favorite clearomizers, only next to the Pro Tank ..

The iClear 30 is NOT great at all .. It sucks way too much juice and does not provide the best flavor what so ever .. I am giving mine away!

Weird.... Only time I ever had gurgles or leak was he other day when I left in the truck(black jeep) and the sun beat down on it, and I left the it facing down on the seat for aa few hours. Cranked the voltage up to 6 for a quick puff and all was fine after that, back down to 4.9 and all is still well.

I have 3 BCCs right now and all of them seem to have the same issue - dry hits. My original worked great until I changed teh atomizer out, and the w two purchased after that have been this way from the get go. If I take a strong pull prior to firing my mod it seems to help. When they are working, I love them... just hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a solution to this issue.

What PV are you using it with? If I vape it with the Smoktech Gripper I have to vape it at 3v, otherwise I get dry hits one after other. Sometimes the culprit is the PWM. If I put it into my Zmax telescope I can vape it at 8w without issues.

All of the heads I got with mine did that too. I took one apart, and sure enough, the coil was too tight, and choked the wick. so it couldnt keep up. I re-wrapped all 3 with 2mm silica, and 32g kanthal a-1 and havent had a single issue aside from the hot truck episode since.

Mine did the same thing right from the box. The solution was to remove one (or two depending on the thickness of the liquid) "floater" wicks.

This one comes out of the box with 3 floater wicks on top of the coils within each head. You can pop off the post relatively easily and remove 1 - 2 of the floater wicks and viola - no more dry hits. PBusardo and VaporChase both have reviews and walk-throughs to remove wicks on their respective YouTube channels. Give them a watch and see if that addresses your issue.

I am super pleased with this unit and will be buying more.
