Twisp Tyko

[KarlDP]

Having a major problem with the Mango Ice and Rebel ice juices at the mo. My coils don't even last 2 days in my Arcus at the moment with these juices.

Going thru a pack of coils a week.. Eish

Gonna go have a look at the Tyko when i get to a kiosk again..

 

[Twisp]

@Twisp , can you help @Faraaz out with this question?

@Faraaz the Tyko coils go for R179,95 for a 3 pack.

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

Hi @PaulaMoz

I managed to get in touch with Twisp SA's customer care line about the coils burning up as well as the ice flavours... it has been almost 2 weeks and the only feedback I have gotten from Twisp is that my feedback is "pending"... hope you have had better luck with them?

Finally got a new pack of MTL coils for my Tyko... trying apple 18mg this time, hoping that the coils last.

I got a phone call from their customer care and was told to prime my coils by putting at least 7 drops per hole prior to inserting the coil. Letting it "sit" for about 29 mins, dry pull then fire. It's rather a messy job - 7 drops per hole. My coil lasted only a day longer - which is not much use at all. I will be meeting with someone early Feb to discuss the issue and hopefully get to the bottom of this. There is no point me having this device if my coils burn out so quickly - and will be a total waste of money. I'll make a follow up once I've had my meeting.
I hope you've had some better luck with your new coils.

Hi Guys,

Hi guys, so im enough of my Arcus Aio leaking, ive messed quite a few shorts and shirts.
Can anyone advise me on a similar size Vape from any company, im enough of Twisp.
Basically im looking for something similar to the Arcus Aio or smaller in size and the battery to last a day.
Thanks in advance

Consider the Aspire Nautilus AIO. Big 4.5 ml capacity. Those coils are legendary and widely available. 1000 mAh battery should last you the day.

Hi @Pratz
I find it strange that you have been having leaking issues with the Arcus AIO. Here are a few recommendations:

• Make sure all the seals are in place.
• Remove the Tank Top and the Atomizer Base ... and make sure the components are securely tightened and screwed together. Then reassemble the base and cap (these parts do not need to be overtightened (finger tight should suffice).
• When opening the tank to refill, be quick and replace the cap as quickly as possible. When the cap is removed, the liquid will start to wick quickly into the coil area and leak out the vents. Never leave the tank unnecessarily open for more time than is required.

The Arcus AIO is made to exacting standards and should not give any leakage problems unless air is able to get in somehow. This can only happen if the tank is not properly assembled or sealed (this can be the case even straight out the box), or the the top cap is not properly closed and sealed.

Let me know if this helps at all.
The Arcus Tank on our tiny S-Mod is shorter and will last you longer (2100 mAh). I can't think of anything better than the Arcus AIO to recommend

 

[Mic Lazzari]

PS: Here are some advantages the Arcus AIO has:

• The Arcus AIO has a bigger battery 1500 mAh (both use 1.8Ω) .... so longer battery life.
• It has Variable Wattage control (9W - 15W) and Constant Power Output (Regulated wattage at each setting).
• It has a very easy to adjust and very refined airflow control system.
• It also comes with a 6 month local warranty.

@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.

Got my Tyko 3 weeks ago. Same problem with burnt tast using rebel ice flavor. The lady at twisp soaked the coil and all seemed fine for a wile but problem persisted . Took it back they tested the battery and said it was faulty. Gave me a new battery got home soaked a new coil.... same problem. Soaked yet another coil with polar mint and walla problem gone!!!! I think its the rebel flavors that dont soak well in the coils...

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.

I'm extremely disappointed with the Tyko. I'm on my 4th coil, which is now also burnt out and I've only owned the device for 6 days.

My previous Twisp was the Vega. The coil lasted 4 weeks easily. Big mistake buying the Tyko.

 

[Kenneth J Rudy]

have had the exact same issues, the tkyo coils last about 3 days max until you get a burnt cotton taste. I really regret buying this product, especially because of the fact I bought two, one for me and one for my girlfriend. Now I'm sitting with two useless devices.

I just can't afford to spend R360 a week on coils (thats is if the East London branch even has stock which they rarely do)

Just super disappointed, the device itself has a very good build quality and a very stylish design but is totally let down by the coils.

good Morning! are you guys (@Liz, @Kenneth J Rudy and @Raymond7905 ) only getting the short coil life on a specific juice (Ice rebel) or on other Twisp/ non-Twisp 50/50 VG/PG juices?

For me it's worse with the official twisp flavours. With non twisp juice you get a day or two longer but still nowhere near 2 weeks like the salesman promised.

I also use non-Twisp Nic salts, but I have the Arcus. I get more than 2 weeks on my Arcus coils (I use it only to get my nic hit during the day) I think there might be something wrong with your coils, or maybe the batch of the coils. Tagging @Mic Lazzari and @Twisp to see if they can help you out.

@Liz @Kenneth J Rudy @Raymond7905 , I will look into this for you. In the meantime, can you tell me ... what your airflow setting is and which Tyko coil are you using? Thx
