Eleaf GS Air Fan : Part 2

[northhar]

Found A CNY deal for 22$ shipped for the istick Basic kit, just got it in..
I bought it to use with my Line SS..
This is the home my Line has been yearning for since 2012..

The only down side is the rattle of the atty on the case, particularly when driving and vaping on the rough roads that I travel. I only noticed it driving, stationary it's not a problem.

Look's good, feels good in the hand and is lightweight. A really nice mod..
The magnetic connector is an ingenious addition to this mod.

Well until the GS-Airs came along this was my best.. and now the GS has to compete with my Line and the NextTiny.. finally choices..

Some pict's...

An inside look .. scary to imagine wrapping this, but with my wrap tool and over 4 years experience, its a breeze..

That was the surprising feature of the original 1.5 ohm coils, they lasted forever.
Folks were reporting weeks and weeks of use, but I don't think I ever heard of one going
more than two months. I really can't say I change my recoils due to lack of performance,
just get a wild hair and decide to change the coil. A recoil lasts me a week.

I had a GS Air 1.5 coil that lasted one day short of 10 weeks. So that is more than 2 months!

Good heavens! Got your money's worth! What flavor allowed that kind of mileage?

It's just my usual DIY menthol I've been using exclusively since 2012. A 85pg to 15vg mix...clear. Love the stuff. Get masses of "clouds" and I'm a confirmed MTL Tootle Puffer!

That would contribute to the coils longevity! Nothing better than home cooking, even juice!

I ordered some GS Air Style Mses from Fasttech on Sunday. I noticed that they were in stock so I pulled the trigger on 4 of them and some SS mesh.

I suppose it'll take a month for the order to get here. I'll post a review after trying them for awhile.

My order arrived today. 18 days from ordering.

First impressions.

The MS clones look great. The airflow control moves a bit too easily but shouldn't be a problem.

I don't own any authentic Ms or MSes so I can't compare but the open area
for filling is much smaller than the GS Tank. The Gs Tank is 22mm so that is understandable. I use a needle tip anyway so it's not a problem.

I filled one with the included coil and let it sit for about 15 min.
First hit was terrible. Second hit even worse. Third hit the same.
Took the coil out and replaced it with an authentic coil and let it sit again.
Flavor is fine now.
So far no leaking.

The FT coils have a spotty record, but the tanks have been receiving good reviews here.
I assume it's the 1.5 ohm dual coil that came with it?
I have made a habit of putting three drops in the top center hole of a new coil to prime them, haven't had a dry hit yet.
(now I put the mojo on myself)

Yep, 1.5 dual.

I should have primed it first but I never do with the authentic ones. I'm not sure if it's a burnt taste or a chemical taste but it was really nasty. I put that coil in with my dead ones. It looks like it's built the same as the Eleaf ones so I'll just rebuild it (some day). I got some mesh with my order so I should be good to go.

A couple of things I like about these tanks. They are built more like the GS Tank. The bottom is sealed so no juice can get into the 510. Also they can be completely disassembled. The M styled one is the same way. I might order a few of those if these work out.

So far, I'm really liking this tank. Time will tell.

Poo, now I have to throw a bottle of juice over my left shoulder...or is it the right?

By gum you're right! I went and looked at the pics on FT for the M and MS and they both have the solid plug in the bottom! Very nice!
I had to seal mine with silicone to stop the slow seep. IMRs has a blog entry on how to do it if anyone is interested. It works brilliantly.
The pics also show the tanks dismantled, the genuine tanks are difficult to get apart. Does the FT tanks come apart that easily?

I tried a round toothpick jammed into the hole in my original GS Air but it still leaks. I don't have any silicone around.

I just tried to take one apart. I couldn't get it to budge with my fingers. Maybe with a pliers and rubber band. I'm not gonna try unless I need to.

Just curious, must not come apart.

HEY THANKS!
Got 3 boxes of coils, and another 14mm air2 tank.

I heard the coils are very difficult to find. Lot of great deals on their site!

Yep also got a couple of oring sets for Sub Tank Mini's so I can color coordinate with the juice I have in them.

I will now have about 20 or so .75 coils. Should do me a couple of years without even having to rebuild them.

As my Grandma used to say, "You could squeeze a nickel 'til the Buffalo screams."
I don't think you are going to find those coils any cheaper, so I'm glad you ordered enough.
