DotShell Manual [EN]

This is the DotShell


Meet the DotShell, Atmizone’s dedicated RTA for the dotAIO by Dotmod. Based on the VapeShell, yet taking quite some steps forward, the DotShell introduces all features of RTAs to the world of AIO devices. The DotShell utilizes the top part of dotAIO’s stock reservoir, incorporates an adaptation of dotAIO RBA’s afc system, but also offers a surprisingly large deck with real time access potential and further customisable air flow under coil, bringing the already succesful dotAIO to another level.

Vaping on the DotShell


Grip on the tank section and pull up to access the deck [1a]. Unscrew AFCS section off the deck [1b] and screw the 510 Aux Base until fully in place [1c].

iBefore removing a full tank to access deck, you have to turn the DotShell upside down. If not, the liquid will pour through the liquid holes, which are placed at bottom of the tank section / ceiling of Chimney.

iThe tank section is attached on the deck only via friction of the Deck Gasket. Always keep the DotShell upside down when out of the dotAIO with a full Reservoir.

Coiling! Fasten your coil down on the posts.

iThe two diagonal, half tube leads on the Deck will help you align the coil properly. Just place your coiling rod along the channel of the leads and then fasten your coil [2].

iBetter position the legs of the coil downside. This will allow:

a. the cotton to cover the legs and b. to position the coil closer to air flow.

iYou might need to adjust the height of the coil after fastened – for example you should raise it a tad bit if you have placed an MTL AF pin [accessory kit] inside the Pos Tube.

On to wicking. Use the amount of cotton you want based on your setup and coil.

iTrim your cotton along the rims of the deck, making sure you don’t leave any remains out of the deck perimeter [3a]. Also trim any protruding part off the end of the deck channels [3a arrow signs].

iThese two diagonal, half tube leads on the Deck are again there to serve as cotton nests. After fluffed and primed, cotton should be neatly nested inside the deck channels [3b] with the help of a pointy tool. Make sure you don’t leave any cotton outside the channel.

Air flow adjustment. Reverse step 1 to put AFCS section back in place.

iAir flow is tuned via the AFCS Ring but also depends on the Pos Tube you will select. Stock Pos Tube (preinstalled) is suggested for more open RDL / DL vaping but also serves as a nest for the MTL AF pins [accessory kit]. Spare Pos Tube allows a max of 2.0mm air hole diameter, thus better for loose MTL / tight RDL vaping.

iAFCS section features 4 double (mirrored) air holes.

Rotate AFCS Ring to uncover more or less holes.

Refilling the DotShell.

iIt is suggested to refill the Reservoir only when the DotShell is insided the dotAIO. This ensures that the tank section will be securely attached to the deck section.

iTo refill, open the liquid port by lifting the refill cover.

Top up, then secure the refill cover back into place.

Warnings


Precautions

  • Please read the user manual and warnings carefully before first use.
  • Keep the DotShell dry from water.
  • Make sure the parts of the DotShell are safely and steadily assembled with each other.
  • Only use this device for vaporisation of e-liquid from trusted sources.
  • Only use the DotShell inside the Dotmod dotAIO.
  • The DotShell can be damaged when used at very high voltages or without e-liquid.
  • The DotShell and especially the layer of the plated versions can be damaged or last less than expected when used at high temp setups or with aggressive / acidic liquids.
  • The DotShell and especially the layer of the plated versions can be damaged or last less than expected if scratched or rubbed.
  • The DotShell should only be used for rebuilding only with materials and tools that are made for this purpose.
  • Your build should be renewed periodically.
  • The DotShell should be cleaned periodically with mild, non abrasive substances.
  • All parts can be washed with light detergent (dish washing detergent) and tap (*not* hot) water.
  • Only metal parts can be alternatively (or additionally) wiped with isopropyl alcohol after they are dry.
  • Plastic parts and silicon parts should be washed with mild detergent only, not using hot water and any other cleaning method. Failing to comply might damage them or have a negative impact on their specs / appearance.
  • The use of ultrasonic batch to clean metal parts should be made with attention to the bath’s manufacturer instructions. Plated or coated parts should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath.
  • The use of ultrasonic batch to clean plastic parts is not recommended, as it might damage them or have a negative impact on their specs / appearance, if ultrasonic bath settings (eg temperature) or choice of detergent are not proper.
  • Assemble all collaborating parts by connecting/ screwing fully, without exaggerating with the force you apply.
  • Don’t use the device with AFC Ring adjustment fully closed (off).
  • Don’t use the device if defective or deformed in whole or in part.
  • The aforementioned precautions are indicative. Using rebuildable atomisers includes exposure at high temperatures and is done at your own risk. The use of the device requires basic knowledge of Ohm’s law, understanding electric circuits and having previous vaping experience with rebuildable atomisers, as well as corresponding skills. 
  • Please don’t use the device unless you are an experienced vaper and particularly skilled with building your own coils.
