Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The Chinese iCloudCig are in the original and tackle a type of ato which has been declined in all kinds of looks, features and although remaining the dean of rebuildables, the dripper continues to evolve.

This Fishbone does not revolutionize the genre but it unquestionably brings an original touch. Its price is very affordable. It is a nice object with clean lines that, however, remains fragile in its design, using both glass and ceramics. Watch out for sudden movements, then.

Rather oriented sub-ohm, it has two certain advantages that we will reveal below, but also some disadvantages.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

With a total length of 45mm (offline 510) the Fishbone is made of stainless steel for metal parts and its adjustable positive pin is made of copper. A Pyrex cylinder (thickness 1,5 mm) connects the bottom cap to the top cap, secured by five O-rings (3 at the bottom and 2 at the top).

Inside, the bottom cap receives the ceramic tray which also serves as a tank, with an approximate capacity of 1,5 ml.

The top-cap and the drip-tip are one, the latter is open by 10 mm for an outside diameter of 13 mm. The fixed airhole system is located inside, at the base of the drip-tip. It is made up of three helical-shaped inlets for suction and two oblong vents (in an arc of a circle) located around the drip-tip, "hollowed out" in the upper ring of the top cap. The heating chamber is made of Pyrex (1,25 mm thick), it is mounted on a metal frame which is designed to provide the resistors with the amount of air initially passed through the arcuate grooves of the top cap.

Everything is well machined, well finished and the screw threads like the O-rings are very correct.

Functional features

  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 10
  • Positioning of the air regulation: Lateral positioning from below and benefiting the resistances
  • Spray chamber type: Conventional / Wide
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The functions are basic and only one is adjustable: the output position length of the positive pin at the 510 connection. In fact, once mounted there is no other function than to remove the top cap to recharge. in juice.

Fishbone + bottom cap

The pyrex cylinder of the ato body is not a tank, its main function is to form a finite volume through which passes the sucked air which will feed the coils via the spaces left between the plate and the heating chamber. Its other advantage is that its transparency suggests the need to refill with juice, but it remains quite empirical or even very random if your liquid is transparent.

The ceramic top is removable. In the event of a problem, it can therefore be changed. The assembly of the coils is carried out quite easily thanks to the design of the Velocity type studs. These are parallelepipedal, they face each other and each have two holes of good diameter to coil either vertically or horizontally with 1mm thick clapton coil for example. The imperative of the assembly is at the level of the position of the wall of the chamber which must not be in contact with the resistors, just like the metal frame. You will therefore take care to arrange them set back from the inner edge of the ceramic plate, 2 mm seems sufficient.

Fishbone + mounted DC

The cleaning is facilitated by the fact that all parts of the ato disassemble, including mounting studs.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of attachment of the drip-tip: Owner only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

 The drip-tip is an integral part of the top-cap. The corkscrew concept of the suction vents that make up the inside of the mouthpiece reduces the heat effect and condenses the excess juice which therefore does not reach your mouth.

It is grooved on the outside for a good grip during the removal operation of the top cap to perform a filling.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A cardboard box contains a foam pierced vertically to accommodate on the one side the ato and the other a spare Pyrex body, as well as a bag of spare parts consisting of O-rings (6 in all), 4 screw tightening resistors, a Phillips screwdriver and 2 pre-wound resistors. No manual on the other hand, it is unfortunate because this ato by its design, can be confusing and pass for an RTA (atomizer tank) that could be filled by mistake as a clearomizer .... (Not you of course, but a neophyte a little in a hurry who did not take the time to listen to the seller, or read the detailed description of the website ....).

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4 / 5 4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use, this dripper is clearly sub-ohm oriented, if only by the possible suction volume that the system lets through, not adjustable, I repeat. If you are a fan of cloud-chasing, you can also do without the heating chamber and vape live. This option does not allow a good concentration of flavors and is of limited interest but allows imposing clouds with the appropriate assembly.

Fishbone + ready to vaper

In normal use, the Fishbone is effective without being formidable in terms of restitution of flavors. It is in the middle of the atos of this type but remains correct for its price. Its aerial vape is not outrageously hot at strong powers. For a resistance value of 0,5 ohm: at 40W it remains warm, at 50W it is barely hot, at 60W it is very hot but it remains vapable, if the juice is suitable.

At 0,85 ohm with a little powerful liquid that withstands high temperatures, I pushed the experiment to 50W without burning me, for 5 seconds of frank taff. Steam production under normal conditions is good, but the flavors are comparable to those obtained with a clearo of good quality, without more. In my opinion, this dripper does not compete with a Magma, an Origen or a Royal Hunter.

Recommendations for use 

  • With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
  • What mod model is it recommended to use this product with? Any type of mod in 22mm, mecha or electro

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Yes I liked this dripper, no I will not buy it. Firstly because I have enough and because I am more a fan of taste than big clouds. The object is however interesting and I have probably not tried the many possibilities it offers in terms of editing to pretend to know it perfectly.

His aesthetic pleases me a lot. Its design, although the lack of airflow adjustment is regrettable, seemed to me well thought out and well done. It does not leak at all, it does not heat up, it is easy to assemble and convenient to clean. Its price finally is most attractive for who wants to start with this style of atomizer. I recommend it to beginners in clouds.

It remains an object to handle with care because some of its components are fragile. Its "nomadic" use is reserved for careful people. The absence of a notice is also regrettable. In some time, its marketing may be banned in Europe for this failure to comply with regulatory obligations.

In the meantime, enjoy it, try it and share your impressions.
