Yep. All day!Anybody else having this day today?
This thread moves FAST! Thanks all! RMV is of course, out of stock on the GS Tank le sigh...
I give them till Thursday then I'll order from Sweet Vapes since he is so excited to get a bigger tank he dropped some funds in my account lol. Poor thing, 25 and moved out when he was 19 but still lets mommy to handle some things. I kinda like that

I am Still having issues with my GS Air coil rebuilds tasting Nasty for that first tank and it's very frustrating. I am using 6 wraps of 30 Kanthal on a 1/16 drill, Rayon and the Dollar Store gauze, dampened for 2-3 wraps. I both anneal the wire and do a short dry burn. The coils are right at 1.5 ohms. I put a drop of juice on each slit and 5-6 down the pipe and Still let it sit 20-30 min.
Before powering, I turn the air to full closed and make sure I'm getting some gurgle, I Assume this means the coil area is WET.
From the first hit for about the first full tank it is NASTY, like slightly burned arm pit. If at the end of the first tank I take the coil out wipe it off, wash out the GS Good, and refill, almost all the Nasty is gone. If any lingers it disappears into the 2nd tank. Even more mysterious is I've looked pretty closely at the last few rebuilds during disassembly. The wraps aren't burnt and neither are the wicks that I can see. Now, I soak hell outta mine for several hrs in really hot water but still, nothing Appears to be burned that I can see when I take them back apart.
I am at a loss as to what is happening with that first tank. It is Sooo nasty it makes me want to consider going back to Turbo'd Evod tanks even with the iS30. With those rebuilds, I may get 1 or 2 hits of almost nasty then it clears and is fine. Of course with those, I can pull the stem, Totally Wet the coil and make sure the first hit, that the coil is soaked. I get a Heck of a lot of vapor from my Turbo Evods. Honestly, with them only costing about $3 each for a tank, I wonder it the GS is Really 4 time better (for the money). Yeah, it's Better but I'm not sure the way *I* use the GS that it puts out 4 times more Vape Or Flavor. This 1st tank Nasty issue is really crimping my love for what otherwise is a great tank.
Anyone got any ideas here?

Sorry to hear you are having this happen...
I assume you get the right amount of rayon in the coil as you have experience with it.
Rayon density was my first thought as it can shrink upon getting juice on it and allow
the coil to heat up creating a burnt metallic taste. It's almost impossible to get too
much rayon into a wick. I only use one wrap of liner material and have never had flooding.

Just like your vid shows Cheech, I make the Rayon tight enough that pulling it harder starts to deform the coil.
I was actually probably going close to 3 wraps and cut back on this last rebuild of 3 coils to 2 wraps with no improvement.

how ‘bout (just thinking out loud)
bigger coil I.D. (5/64, toothpick, 2mm)
I used stainless steel mesh to wrap around outside/under cap
and a MUST
did you ACTUALLY scrap the interior walls of your coil body
to be SURE they are spotless - - gunk builds up inside as per my experience
hot water softens, Q tip removes (might even need to scrap some)
then SMELL it before assembly – is it pure, fresh clean ??
jus sayin
Good Luck !
I also use close to 2mm to wrap coil. But you are getting 1.5 ohms...
Sounds like you prime well...
Rayon right tension...
Liner would not affect first draws if primed right...
Dry burn coil to remove oil and contaminants from manufacture of wire...
I have had recoils and rewicks that were funky for one reason or another, usually my error.
But not consistently...I'm not much help on this.
Does your rayon "squeak" when moved back and forth in the coil?

Hmmm...possibility.

agree, sounds like priming / dry hit not an issue
contaminated insulator
INSIDE the coil body threw me for awhile
when I discovered it, I could not believe what was in there (baked)
a new build started off nasty
then I would guess after so long, that nasty absorbed
the new juice I just put in tank, and start to fade... ?
regardless, now I always make a point to check/clean INSIDE coil body
(and I have a stack of dirty nasty Q tips to prove it)

Wonder if the grommet is toast? Sometimes a burnt grommet can give that kind of nastiness.
I use an ultra sonic cleaner on the coils and they come out clean as a whistle, so I hadn't considered dirty
interior. That will do it!

I'm about to buy an Istick 40W as a third small battery backup to my two 30W that i love, if that is a bad move let me know now ok? haha thanks
40W is a good mod ergonomically, not impressed with the battery staying power even in VV/VW mode.I'm about to buy an Istick 40W as a third small battery backup to my two 30W that i love, if that is a bad move let me know now ok? haha thanks
It may be my imagination, but it seems less than my 30W. It's definitely not the battery length of my
50W!
But, I gotta admit, love the buttons and ergonomics of it. I am sure I won't be going into TC world anytime soon.
It does leave that option open...
Oooooooooo nice move (ultra sonic cleaner)
guess that would alleviate inside build up
I’ve scrubbed grommets clean (vodka/toothbrush)
and threw a few away also…
