Well the 19 and 22 mm hold different amounts. Mesh size probably makes little to no difference. My TGT2's are retired. The 22 mm one is slightly more airy.

I did my best to do it as closely to the Flash-e build. Its so that the wicks go straight across and are aligned with the coil. I was worried that it might change the performance or taste, but it did not, at least for me.
I suppose you could lower the coil, but I was worried that it would then direct the liquid downward and too close to the air intake and cause gurgling or over wicking.
I hope that helps, Im not the best at describing.
Oh BTW, my cameras batteries died so I could not show the finished build. I pull the wicks upward before I screw down the mid part then fluff up the wicks and tuck them down , keeping the fluffiest part on top of the screws so that there is enough wick between the tubes and wick.
Well, mine is a GT2, tried a bunch of builds since I got it, just tried a spaced coil lined up with the grooves on the bottom half of the chimney section,
Still tastes lame, but with a glimmer of greatness from time to time...gutted!
Would really appreciate if someone, anyone, could post or link me to a few images of builds for the GT2, not much at all on Google!
Beginning to think mine is defect...
Merci!
Others may offer more assistance, but I'll try to help.
I think the 22mm GS2 actually holds 4-4.5ml of juice. It definitely holds more than the 19mm one as I have both, although mine are both the Shenray clones.
I think the GS2s are fantastic flavor attys, but a bit more involved setting them up. Each time you rewick, you do have to pop off that piece that holds the mesh straws. So not a big deal, but slightly more involved than the GT2.
I'm using 400 mesh and these things wick like crazy. So I probably wouldn't use 200 unless you are using max vg liquids. 400 is wicking fast with 70 vg for me. You can buy mesh on ebay pretty cheaply, like $5 for a few 3"x3" squares shipped. It will be enough mesh to last for many years.
There are a few suggested builds on the PDF TGT2 manuals section on smokerstore site

I found this on FB a few months ago and this build is what "Sold me" on it. It has been the best build for me so far. After that its just getting the Juice flow adjusted just right. IT might seem fiddly at first but after a few times you just get to know how much to close it off vs the amount of cotton.
This is in German but its pretty self explanatory. Hope it helps. Now I love my GT2 just as much as my GS and GSL, performance and taste are equal to me.
NOt sure if this is just a clip of the above "how to" or just another style of wick build, but I will leave this here , again, hope you find your favorite build so you can enjoy it.
The rolo really is compact! Shame its just not practical for me and I have small hands not sure it would be comfortable to hold? It must have Stella battery life though maybe I will get a RX200 and do some modding!
I still have my infamous Vtbox still trying to get the 510 off! I keep meaning to mod it but I never have time
Vape on!
@dwcraig1 and everyone else.
I have a few questions. I got a GSL from focal, it's supposed to be a Shen Ray? I dunno.
It came with the upper airflow ring with 3 sets of holes which always puts 1 set against the wick.
When i tighten the tank down, it locks the upper afc ring so it won't spin unless I loosen the tank up first.
The draw with the upper afc closed is super tight, nothing like the gt2...way tighter. With the upper afc open its got a terrific amount of draw, but I feel like it's hurting the flavor?
It also came with a second upper afc ring with only 1 slot to close off the other 2 sets of holes, so with the lower afc wide open and the upper in single slot mode wide open 1 set of holes, it's a good vape but of course I want more air for lung inhales. I guess I'm being too picky?
From the pictures, the hot cig 22mm seems like the center air stem under the coil is wider? I know the air port under the coil is wider on my gt2.
So...does all this sound right to you GSL and GS2 owners out there? Or does mine sound a little wonky.

The GSL center tube is 1.85 mm (approx) and the GS2-22 is 3 mm, that pretty much makes it twice the size of the GSL tube.
You have it nailed.
I'm getting pretty good results from my GSL, not as good as the 22, but darn good.

My Shenray 22mm has huge airflow at the bottom. No need to open the top like I have with the 19mm.
Does the hot cig gs2 (22mm) come with the same 3 sets of air hole upper air flow section?
If all else is the same between the 2 models (shen ray and hot cig) I wonder if I could drill out the 1.85mm air hole under the coil to a larger diameter?

Probably can drill it but the deck will be flat, that air hole will no longer be sticking up, give a shot.
So I thought I'd go ahead and drill mine perhaps adding a tube so it sticks up a bit.
I wanted to separate the deck from the base to do it but couldn't get it apart so I just left it the way it was. I did recoil and wick it and it works real good.

So you drilled your GSL to 3mm and now it is flush with the deck (no tube) but the results are worth the effort?
No, I did nothing extra to it.
I am doing a comparison between a GS2 and GSL using two different mods. I'll give the GS2 a 10 and the GSL an 8, 8 being pretty good.
I like the idea of glass, but pressure fit with o-rings only? That's a mess waiting to happen.
I routinely carry my mods, and my Vaporflask as an example will slide into my back pocket as long as I'm not sitting down, then when I grab it back to vape I'll grab a hold of the atty to pull it up enough to grab it. Pull that tank and you've got an open atty leaking everywhere.
Now if they threaded the chimney to the evaporation chamber, kind of like the lemo, crown, etc... That would be great.
Edit : I'm a little confused, does this nano tank screw into the collapsible chamber instead of the top cap with the hole? Or does it have a stem that goes into the top cap with the hole? Reading the discussion thread over there confused me.

It has a really short little stubby chimney, kinda neat but slipping apart, and holding what has to be a tiny amount of juice, I'll probably pass.
If you look at these pics closely you can sort of see it a little better, same tank, just on an atomizer.

Interesting post on Reddit from a guy
that has tried 12 tanks this year
Taifun (pronounced taifoon apparently) GT S 2 1.6ohm organic cotton - .... THE KAYFUN. I just got this today. Getting the coils to sit around the screws was fiddly till I got the hang of it, but this thing hit properly the first time I wicked it and 2rs of vaping later I can see why people say they sell their kayfuns for these tanks. Flavor is between the KFL and the 4. But it hasn't leaked at all, not a drop. It's very easy to work with. Fat juice capacity. Looks big and mean. Has a simple AFC as well (people want this Svoe Mesto). The design just makes so much sense on this thing. I'll be buying a few more of these. You should buy these too.
Hail to the Taifun
