I love mine also. How often do you change your wicks? I figure when the coil goes bad in a few weeks that's when I will give the CL coils a try. I just wish I could figure why it's leaking a little. Nothing compared to the leaks I had with the RBA. How close do you cut the cotton?
you might take it out and double check the other o-rings. I think the replacement ones they send are better than the way it comes (stock). I also take the drip tip off and clean it there, turn it upside down and blow it out. I think the key is getting any juice out of the airflow. I hope you get it fixed. I may pose that issue to Joyetech.us. They have been very responsive to questions I've had with my VT.
I use "Native Wicks" cotton and it last much long than Japanese cotton on all my builds. I may not have to rewick these CLR heads for a month!
I don't remember where I ordered it. But, if you go to their website nativewicks.com they have a vendor list. It's usually about 7.99 but one "puck" gets me over 100 builds. I did a review of it http://vapingunderground.com/threads/native-wicks-review.106967. There are a couple pics and how I use it. I think I even put where I got it in the review.
Now it seems you say that it is fluffy, you wet the end to get in the coil which I do with the KGD but you roll it thinner and it will fluff up?
I won't promise you a month with the native wicks, but I think you'll get a lot more than with KGD. I usually change mine just because it's been a while. But, I diy my juice and make a very "light" colored juice at 60VG/40PG. I know all of that affects the wick. As far as the screw, I have it in till its at least flush, or on one I've taken it out altogether.
I am using the cap that screws on. The silicone caps are a pain to get on but they do get there eventually and then break. I talk to Joyetech yesterday and they said another person also complained about the silicone breaking but it's too new to know why. I did try 1 without the silicone and it leaked pretty bad. Today no leaks with the new o-rings so maybe you were right the stocks ones aren't good. Thanks
I'm doing a horrible job at responding right now. Sorry! I put a new build in my Kayfun Lite Plus last night. I was able to cut a piece that was perfect in size (almost no trimming) and I used about 1/3 width. I just rolled it very tight, and then unrolled it once in the coil(I didn't need to wet the ends on this one). It is wicking great! The wick I have in another Kayfun Lite is over 3 weeks old (still going strong, Kanthal). I change my nickel coils every couple of weeks and change the wick (but the wick is still great). I just find nickel hard to "rewick".Ha, I was just reading your review. I found it looking on here to see what people thought. I will be purchasing it tomorrow. I'm tired of re wicking every 3 - 4 days. Thanks for the info
No problem getting back to me, I appreciate the help. When you rewick the CLR is it also cut about 1/3 of the width? I see people say the Native Wicks Cotton isn't good for tanks and is just for dripping. I have the Native Wicks coming hopefully tomorrow, I love trying new cotton. I'll give you an update. Were you able to get the silicone cap on the cap?
I use Native Wicks in my tanks and love it. I haven't rebuilt a CLR yet, but plan to use it. I was worried that it wouldn't wick well, I think you'll understand when you get it. But, it has wicked incredibly well in all my tanks (and that's about all I use, not a dripper). I think if I build on a 2.5 mm rod I would use the same amount. I may build on a 2mm rod for the CLR and use about 1/4 width. I'll keep you posted. I haven't tried the silicone yet, but I plan to tomorrow. I'll let you know. I wasn't very successful the first time
I finally got the silicone ring on the CLR. Maybe since I knew it was really supposed to be there I had a little more patience.
I hope I don't have to change it for a couple weeks so maybe I won't have to worry about it breaking. Did Joyetech offer to send any out since they know about the problem? Or, do they sell just the silicone rings? And, so far no leaking at all. I've changed the bases on all my original eGrips to the CL and they are working great. Just have to make sure they are screwed in tight and no problems.
Hey glad you got the silicone cap on! I had another break yesterday, that's five in 3 weeks. You won't have to change it as long as it last. Even if you use a new CLR coil just use your old cap with silicone still attached. Either the stem is sharp and cutting the cap or it's just from tightening it. But I don't over tighten it. If it's the stem being sharp then all my eGrips are sharp because it happens on all of them. Joyetech is sending me out 3 more, and might start selling them in the future.I finally got the silicone ring on the CLR. Maybe since I knew it was really supposed to be there I had a little more patience.
I have three of the "non" OLED original eGrips. I bought the CL bases from Joyetech and changed them all. I'm using the CLR heads which are at 1.0 ohms and they're working great! The only trick I've found, thanks to @Whiskey, is to make sure and screw the heads in the base tight and then I make sure the base is screwed in tight too, not break it tight, but tight. The older version eGrips are not "supposed" to work below 1.2 ohms, but so far so good for me. I haven't rebuilt one yet, but will try and not build below 1 ohm.
I hope you like it! I have all kinds of KGD but have not touched it since I started the NW. I have replaced it more than once after 3 or more weeks and it's not even burnt under the coil. I'm hesitant to "over sell" something, but in my experience it's been great. Good luck with it and thanks for all the help with the silicone.
I'm talking about the silicone cap that goes on the CLR coils. Is that what you are talking about @Whiskey ?
Watching!!!As soon as I get it all laid out and photographed, I will be scaling down my mod collection again, and for my Egrip gear I have tons, old new and everything in between from coils to bases to bodies, I thought I would give a heads up in here first, it will all go in one lot for one price, this is not because I don't like them, it's because I don't use them ....Stay tuned

@Whiskey Love that drip tip.
