Howzit...
Bought my Twisp TYKO about 2 days ago, already experiencing problems with it. Seems as if the liquid (using Twisp Rebel Ice) does not 'soak' into the coil very well. after a few draws there is no flavor and you get a burnt taste... I experienced a similar problem with my Twisp ION. Hoping that this is just a once off issue with the coil... Will go to a Twisp stand and have them check it out. (anyone else experiencing this problem???)
Other than that, its been a pleasant experience, the draw is nice and smooth, variable airflow works a lot better than previous devices... battery is amazing (still have 40% life after 2 days of frequent use)... decent size device, nice and compact.
Keep in mind that you have to buy a separate pack of STL coils to use the device as STL. the MTL works well, decent throat hit.
Hope this helps.
Did you prime the coil?
I read on Facebook that guys are having problems with the two Ice flavours burning coils, hope you primed it well
I however went out to test it and it’s not what I was expecting , however as @Silver says, maybe I also need time at home in my own space to try it out and not in a noisy mall with only one strength in it to test , flavour was dead, airflow was way toooooo much, even with one notch open only and the battery was full , I should again when it’s not so busy
On the other note @Silver , I know it’s the wrong thread, but the mango ice pod is out and I believe the rebel ice pod is coming soon , @Mic Lazzari listened to you lol , it’s not ice ice as we like it but the mango is not bad at all , can’t wait for the rebel ice
Thanks!
Spoke a guy at Twisp, he told me that the coil was burnt out (which is disappointing after 2 days of use) ... so I changed the coil... it worked well for a while, starting to feel like the problem is cropping up again...
Pack of 3 coils costs R169 for either STL or MTL.
Maybe a dud batch of coils @NH811 ?
That is not good to hear
Maybe you can track each coil (ie number of days till burnt taste) - then go back to the store or get in touch with customer service at Twisp - and explain to them your experiences. Maybe they can help out.
@Faraaz the coil was initially primed by someone from the Twisp stand, ended up priming it regularly once the problems started...
I started experiencing the burnt taste when i used some of my peach liquid.... but maybe the Rebel Ice did the damage by then.
Sometimes they don’t even know how to prime it properly, check YouTube videos
Did you change the coil and still have issues ?
Sorry I only see now that you experiencing problems with not only one coil, strange , they told me a 3 pack is R180 at our kiosk
Coil changed last night, slight burnt taste.
Managed to find the Facebook post, a few other people using the new Ice flavours are having the same problem.
I reached out to Twisp, lets see what they can do to help... a new pack of coils and a new liquid maybe... Keeping my fingers crossed...
Hi guys,
I live in Zim and have been using the Twisp Ion, i would like to upgrade and i'm looking at the either the Tyko Aio or Arcus Aio.
Problem is i have to get a friend to buy it for me and send it down, so unable to go to the Twist kiosk and try.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As @Silver said you would have to get someone that’s familiar with it to give more detail
But the info I received at the kiosk was, the Tyko is a replacement for the ion and the arcus is the replacement for the Aero X
For MTL only, the Arcus for sure. See this post.
Somehow the clearo 2 feels like the best device there , do you own an arcus ?
No, but @Pratz asked for a choice between the Tyko and the Arcus.
Thanks for your responses guys, the struggle is real. I’m not even sure but I think my Twisp Ion is a Mtl so thinking of maybe going with Tyko Aio but read a post saying coils keep burning out, so now thinking of Arcus Aio

Howzit @Pratz
The Ion is MTL... Stay away from the Tyko, people who have bought it (including myself) are not enjoying it. There is definitely an issue with the coil, Twisp SA has not been very useful, they simply told me to 'prime' my coil.
Also, stay away from Twisp Ice flavours, Twisp SA has confirmed that the menthol used in the liquid decreases the lifespan of the coil.
Arcus seems like your best option right now...
Hi Guys,
So i got my Arcus Aio, I can't say its as fantastic as Twisp say.
Its pretty much the same Hit as the Twisp Ion only difference is battery lasts much longer.
So guess what im back in the search for a device that gives a good throat Hit.

Nicotine content is the main contributor to throat hit. What nic strength are you vaping?
Hi @Andre
Im vaping the Twisp 18mg, I've just changed the mouthpiece and put my Twisp Ion mouthpiece on and im getting a better throat Hit.
Also not sure why but the Arcus Aio keeps leaking into battery, im having to clean it 5-6 times a day.
I hope its not the coil already as its only been 3 days.

For a follow up on the Tyko. I had a friend buy one for me in SA and then my heart sank when I read the issues people were having on the day I received my device. Definitely stay away from the new ice flavours - serious coil killers! I've been using the general Signature 18mg range of flavours and my coils are lasting. I'm sorry that the Aero X has been discontinued - to me that was the best device ever! With the airflow closed to last two holes the Tyko gives a nice throat hit.
I now need to add an edit to this post that I made earlier today - my coil is tasting burnt already two days in, and no "ice" flavours has been used, only the Pear & Litchi. This is very disappointing as its my 3rd coil since the 4th....and living outside of SA I need coils to last much longer. Have messaged Twisp, so hope I get some response
