Thanks Emonty, so now we need someone to post their best tips and results on how to get the best results with standard 901s.

Received mine today, was I little frustrated hence new thread :P

My tips.

Give it a good clean prior to use, fresh water and dry.

Look at the picture on the GG site re assembly.

Fill it up to the level of the threads on the main tank when fully assembled, about 4ml.


Put a few drops in the atty (4-6)

give it a go !!!

Adjust via the draw screw (down the bottom) how you like the amount of vape. Holes open equals lots of air and you may lack drawing liquid towards your atty. Closing the ring over the holes may restrict the airy feeling but may make the AFS more auto.

If you get a burnt taste or metallic taste the AFS is not feeding the AFS so close the air ring down the bottom to nearly closed and suck on the mouth piece a bit (without activating the battery). This is not a totally auto system so sucking is needed now and then.

Adjusting the air draw can make is sort of auto when it is going.


I had issues with leaking around the air flow holes at the bottom so cut a hole in the middle of some blue foam and inserted it around that area, all good now.





Took half a day to make mine 100%, don't give up.

I would like to see a picture of this cut piece of foam people are using, I dont have this leaking issue since I removed my top Orings as much but would like to see exactly how this is being used

I have been using a LR 901 the last few days and it is working quite well actually. And like MWA I have not seen this major leakage issue since removing the top orings.

My Tips after using the AFS for 8 months now.

1. Listen to your taste buds they tell you what is going on with juice flow.
2. If you just can't get the burnt taste to go away with closing control ring, primer puffs etc... REFILL...
3. When you refill keep a paper towel handy, and after you get the top cap back on tight turn the GG upside down and soak up any excess juice (Thanks Rob!!!)
4. If you are getting too much juice flow change the battery... it's probably weak.
5. If you do get leakage from the air holes take the brass part off and wipe it out. (Don't worry you wont spill any juice)
6. Always master the AFS at 3.7v BEFORE you try HV vaping.
7. Some atomizers have a tight draw from the factory (These work best for me in the V2) Some atomizers have a light or airy draw and these do NOT work well for me....
8. If all else fails drill a Cartomizer!! I keep one with me at all times.

Ok...have only had my AFSv2 a few days now..but it's been on steady auto-pilot most of that time. I'm running mine with KR808-D premium cartomizers, drilled out with 1/16" dremel bit about 7-8mm from the bottom of the carto. I peel the vinyl off the carto, clean the glue off with acetone nail polish remover(non-acetone doesn't work) and then wipe it all down very well. Remove both caps inside the carto and I use a delrin drip-tip with my setup because they were already out of stock on the AFSv2 tips. I'll get one when they are back in stock.

Ok..that's my setup...here are my tips:

1) Do a field strip and cleaning of all parts once a day and pay close attention to the threads. If they look dark in the thread grooves..they are starting to tarnish from contact with juice...so use a paper towel and your fingernail to just run it in the threads to dry and clean them. Also make sure to dry your two main o-rings(atty o-ring and top cap o-ring)...that will extend the life of the rubber. Use a metal polishing cloth to buff down the unit once it's dry and clean. Reassemble. This takes maybe 20 minutes if you take your time and are thorough.

2) Don't continue to use the same cartomizer day after day. It will seem to get weak and flood-prone. They need a break, so drill maybe 2-4 of them and rotate them in every day as you reassemble after cleaning.

3) I refill mine in the morning after cleaning and then maybe once or twice more I'll top it off during the day. You may need to refill more often, just to depends on your usage. But to refill easily, you'll need to make a simple cartomizer plug to prevent flooding when you "unseal" the barrel to refill. Think of it like maintaining the air bubble in an old diving bell. If you don't do this to maintain the air bubble inside the cartomizer..as you refill the cartomizer will try to flood as it equalizes the juice level inside the tank.

a) Take an old 510 or 901 cart cap and plug the airholes. You can use a kleenex, analog cig filter, bubble gum, putty, anything to plug the hole and prevent air just bubbling through the cartomizer.

b) Remove your drip tip(or other tip) and place the carto plug on the carto.

c) Close the bottom control ring (CR).

d) Now remove the top caps and o-ring, being careful not to let the carto plug come out as you do this. Just slide them over the top. Refill your juice...wipe down caps and o-ring and replace them.

e) Once they are tight you can remove the carto plug and replace your drip tip. Open your control ring and you're back in business again.

This procedure has me running without a hitch all day..everyday. There is nothing else currently on the market that even holds a candle to this kind of e-cig performance. This is even easier than packin' a pack of analogs and removing the wrapper! ENJOY!!

I dont see a reason to break down my AFS like that everyday and think thats a bit to much work, I only break mine down if an Atty blows or I want to change flavor. The AFS is made out of high grade material, a weekly clean I think is plenty wolf.
