I get a ton, and there's now someone else claiming the same issue so I know it isn't just me. If you're not a high wattage (like 130-150W+ minimum) vaper and don't use massive minimum 3.5mm diameter coils it's likely you won't notice.
Just picked up 2 black Avocado's here. Best US price I've seen so far. Use code iloveyou and get another 5% off.

Can someone please help me with how to wick this properly to avoid dry hits and spit back. Tried it with cotton just barely through the wick holes and still getting dry hits. Tried the rda wicking method and using it as an auto dripper and that's been the best so far just not what it's meant for. Tried cotton down a quarter into the wick holes still dry hits. Any tips?

This is my method for gennyish RTAs that don't have an open fill hole (your vaporized juice must be replaced by air or it will vaporlock, and thus stop feeding the wicks):
* Cut your tails to reach the bottom of the tank.
* Cut an angle on each tail so the bottom is a point, angled up to just slightly before you hit your coil (leave about 1/4" full tail coming out of each end of your coil).
* Carefully stuff the tails into the wick holes. The thinner tails from cutting the angles will allow air to get into the tank.
Now, to help prevent spit back, use your screwdriver to lift each tail up just a bit, and fluff it back up at the ends of your coils. The spit back is coming from there because the wick isn't contacting the coil now after you stuffed the tails down the holes. So get the wick at the ends of your coils fluffed again, and making full contact.
Yes, Mikhail, I'm running 3.5mm fused Claptons in both the Avocado and Limitless. But, I'm vaping just under 100W because that's where I'm getting the best flavor. The coils are much higher up on these types of attys than bottom coil RTAs like Boreas, so 100W on an Avocado is like 140W on Boreas.
I own quite a few of these guys: Nectar, Avocados, Limitless, Fodi, Theorem.

But, you all should probably just ignore my post because clearly, Mikhail is the authority on all subjects 
He tells us everyday in multiple posts
He tells us everyday in multiple posts Hey thanks for this. Do you happen to have a video or picture guide for this? Just as a reference? If I try vaping at 50w+ I get a dry hit on a 4sec pull.

I'm just going to recommend the Limitless RDTA. It's superior to the Avocado in every single way, even if the airflow on it isn't adjustable. Little to no spit back, loves high wattage, easy to fill, enough airflow for a proper high wattage vape, easier fill system.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Got mine today and I f'n love it. Best vape I've experienced so far. New mod too 
I bought a black 200w Tc also, how's the avocado fit?

It's a good fitting. No overhang or nothing. Sits flush too.
Loving this thing since I got it. I have no idea why some are experiencing spit back? It has to be down to your coils and wicking. I just poke the cotton through the holes a small bit, no need to have them hanging down in there. They get wet every hit you take, and if in doubt, give it the odd turn over.
Flavor is great, it's easy to build on, it looks sexy, air flow is perfect for me wide open, haven't had one dry hit. Only cons I would say are - it can get a bit hot, and your lips are right at the tank when using that chuff cap tip, it's a bit of a PITA to have to take it apart just to wash the tank out or change the glass. Though it really only took me about 2 minutes to take it apart, change the o-rings and put it back together. And, well, that's it.
I matchy-matchied mine a little today - perfectly flush on the rx200

Dropped a Raymo2u Alien coil in mine. Loving this thing.

Just got mine yesterday and first build was a home run. This thing is perfect for me.
One reason I like the avocado 24 is that it gives me my fix in significantly less amount of pulls than my other attys. I only need 5-6 compared to the 10-15 with my other setups. This is useful when I'm out and about as I don't have to chain vape with the appearance of terraforming the planet.

The limitless has adjustable airflow. I just got mine and the chuff cap turns to adjust airflow. I have both the avocado 24 and limitless. Both are kickass tanks. It all depends on personal preference. I prefer the limitless.
As well.

I didn't realize it had it because I don't really adjust the airflow on.. well anything, I own. I know now that it does, though I find the smallest turns block off more than it feels like they should. Not an issue, I keep it wide open.
The ONLY thing the Avocado 24mm has over the Limitless is 1ml more juice capacity and a slightly easier fill method. With some bottles it can be a pain to fill the Limitless (like the non-unicorn style untwist-to-squeeze tipped bottles) without getting juice everywhere.
Pros of the Limitless over the Avocado 24mm:
25mm instead of 24mm (More build space)
A ton more airflow
Wider airflow slots for more air-to-coil efficiency
Less worry about leaking due to the better design of the wicking holes
Much, much less spitback
Overall better design in terms of performance
Aesthetically speaking, it's more pleasing to the eye
Pros of the Avocado 24mm over the Limitless:
Slightly higher juice capacity
Slightly easier fill method
It comes with a spare glass, for some god awful reason, the Limitless does not
510 drip tip compatible

Yeah I like the limitless more. You forgot in the pros of the avocado that it has single coil option. I never use single coil but for those who do its there.

Limitless can single coil too, just stuff cotton in the empty side of the deck's wicking holes.
