    2 Years Tobacco Free

    Great! Many congratulations! My 2 years vapeversary was a most excellent day. Traditionally on vapeversaries I have bought myself a shiny new mod. Be nice to yourself! :)

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    OK, I rewicked the GSL and this time used mesh straws as my wicking method, with the SS feeding the cotton (I also put some extrra cotton in the wells). All I can say is WOW. I'm not going back to the cotton pad method, or the PTFE wicks. OK actually I can't go back to the PTFE tubes because I...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    In a genny I don't torch my mesh at all. I _hate_ the taste. I just pulse it until those shorts and hot spots work themselves out.

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    All good with the manual then :) I think I'll try mesh next. So far I've vaped 5ml of Digby's Custard on this build and it's not put a foot wrong. Not one gurgle or dry hit. The only problem with the cotton circle method is it's a complete waste of a large area of cotton!

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    LOL - that exact thing happened to me too. So I went to the official manual and thought I'd try the cotton pad method, which is to cut a circular pad of cotton with a hole in it for the chimney, press it into the underside of the top cap, and saturate it with eliquid and ensure the coil-wick is...

    I got a nice Bellvape tank for my TGT-II. I like the look

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    Some photos from when my GSL arrived yesterday. It's an exceptional vape, lots of flavour and good throat hit. The GSL is amazing, simply amazing. I love this atty The GSL came in a nice wooden presentation box Inside the box, spare O rings, the atty and lots of wood shavings The GSL itself...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    So the GSL was well worth the purchase. It is an exceptional vape. It was such an easy build, and really easy to wick. It comes in slightly shorter than the GT-II, and I love the fact that it has 2 seperate AFC rings for under-coil and side airflows. I have dialled in the perfect combination for...

    What's your Vaping story?

    OK one more story for you then. After 20 years of smoking Marlboro Reds I swapped this for another 7 years on rollies. There were various quit attempts, none of them successful. The final (successful) quit attempt went like this: I reached the end of what I could cope with. Stinking of tobacco...

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    Interesting... He didn't use mesh straws or the PTFE tubes. He just made sure his cotton tails were long enough to be pushed up against the holes in the top cap. That's good news for me - the less fiddling the better. It looks really good!

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    Ah yeah. I'm watching it now. My German is a bit rusty though ;)

    Taifun GT Discusion!

    I've heard rumours that the GS-II outperforms the GT-II. I find that difficult to believe since the GT-II is an exceptional atty, however I've taken a chance and ordered an authentic Taifun GSL (the 23mm version of the GS) from smokerstore.de. It should arrive soon. Strangely enough when I...

    I remember saying I'd get one of those new caged sleeves for my Calix. I had to wait for my vape budget to recover, but a promised order is a promise. Ordered :-)

    The Erlkönigin : PICTORIAL

    I read back a few pages that someone was saying how it was a pita to fill the Erlk with a dropper bottle. Yeah I hate those dropper bottles too. Just take the top cap off entirely and pour the eliquid in from the bottle! Close the AFC off and put your thumb over the top of the chimney while...

    Erlkonigin or Taifun GT 2 ?????

    Great! I've heard that clones of the Rose V2 aren't as good as the authentic, by a long way. Certainly I found that in my own experience. I originally had a Pallas 1:1 clone of the Rose V2, and at first it just didn't perform well at all, until I stripped it down completely, removing every screw...

    Erlkonigin or Taifun GT 2 ?????

    The Errl was my favourite atty ever, to be reserved for special occasions or with a very special juice because the flavour is so on point. I disagree that the airflow is tightish. With the AFC ring taken off it's a lung hitter. Never floods, gurgles or dry hits (once you figure out how to wick...

    A question for those who've given up smoking completely

    I gave up smoking because I was utterly _determined_ to do so. I guess that helps, and it was a real deep quit attempt, not like one of my lame ones where I said to myself "I guess I should quit". This one was a "I have quit dammit!". So my first setup, which was an eGo battery with a...

    Taifun GT II ( Great innovation Huge improvement )

    Will do mate. It was the nicest bit of kit on display at UK Vapefest, and the guys at the Singature Tips stall spent a while showing me the mod and it's features, letting me hold it and look inside at how meticulously it was made. The display model was already sold, and when I asked how to order...

    Taifun GT II ( Great innovation Huge improvement )

    It was a random visit to their page. I know they are always out of stock, but I had a look on there and though OMG they have stock, and ordered 4th Aug. I don't have a TC capable setup yet, so no I haven't tried any temp control coils yet. I've ordered this though, which is a dual 18650 Yihi...
