Nice thread Ange!!!
I absolutely love my Atmizoo Tripod's.
The Tripod has awesome flavor and is very much on par with my Kayfun's, Dvarw's or Pocket v2 RTA's. It is very easy to build on and maintain. I've had mine since batch 1 was released (over a year) and have had zero issues. I vape mine MTL-RDL-DL (all depends).

Building and wicking the Tripod is most similar to any of the modern Kayfun's. It has a very similar deck design to the K5 and also the KM3, Prime or KFL19.
I like to have my coil raised ~1.5 - 2mm above the AF. You can use the the cut outs on the rim of the deck for aligning your coil.

I have the 1.8mm AF pin installed on the one in the pic above. If using any of the air flow pins add juice around its o-ring before installing. Raise the post screws to install or uninstall the AF pins. They are easy to install/remove.
The AF with the basic Tripod kit does MTL (using a 1, 1.2, 1.5 or 1.8mm AF pin) to DL (4mm airflow wide open). Use the AFC at the base of the deck to dial in your preferred airflow. To further fine tune the airflow Atmizoo sells a
Fixed Airflow Tubes Kit specifically for RDL/DL vaping. It includes five tubes with 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3mm AF. I do not know if those work with the clones (if 1:1 they should).
View attachment 896747 Wicking is easy on the Tripod (see pic for tips). The Tripod is wicked the same as a K5, KM3, Prime or KFL19. The wick tails should be just touching the bottoms of the juice wells (no more/no less). Trim the wick tails as described in the photo. For best performance you do not want the wells overstuffed with wick.
I like to make sure none of the wick is touching the center AF block. This prevents any juice from possibly seeping down the AF hole on the deck (same as a Kayfun). I make a gap under the shoulders of my wick. Simply move the wick shoulders away from the center AF block to get the gaps (see above pic). A paper clip, or needle, works very nicely for getting the gaps.
Wick. I use both rayon and cotton. With a 2.5mm ID coil I don't trim anything from the wick. Don't need to as the juice wells are large. I do lightly trim some from each of the tail sides when I use a 3mm ID (or larger). YMMV
Drip tip. The DT is a two piece assembly. You can unscrew it and use your own 510 DT's. If you do remove it leave the clear gasket inside of the top cap installed.
The Tripod uses JFC (juice flow control). To open the JFC simply rotate the glass tank section to expose your wick. Close it for filling the tank. Remember to turn the Tripod upside-down in order to remove the deck if you have juice still in the tank. See the manual (below) for details.
I would suggest trying it with, and without, the chamber reducer installed. You will be surprised.

@Zazie, I haven't created a PDF tutorial yet for the Tripod however this will get you up and running.
