Before I released the v2 AFS, I tried hard to make it work with all atomisers,(after many people's requests) but I wasn't satisfied at that time, so i continued my experiments and with the recent changes in the o-rings, I have found that it does work quite nicely with all SLB 901 atomisers and obviously with all 901 atomizers that have the same threads with SLB. TW atomizers have slightly different threads so they dont fit to the brass connector.
I didnt want to post any nonsense before the final results. I suggest to everyone to try any atomizer with AFS. Maybe some of you will notice that iatties work a little better than the others, maybe not. If you notice something like that I can still make iatties for you.
Of course I will make improved iatties but a little later.

Even if I lose a lot of money from the sales of iatties because many people will buy the cheaper ones, I feel very proud about this invention and I wanted to share it with you guys:):)

I hope that I pleased all of you for one more time:toast:

Excellent!
I urge everyone to try out standard 901 atties in the AFS v2 and let us know your results.
Maybe some will work as good as the iAtties, let's see.

Good news for many people if this is the case, Imeo, they can buy cheap standard atties if they can work them in the AFS v2 without some of the o-rings in place.

So many people have been very pleased with the excellent performance of their iAtties too, so I think we will definitely need to keep stocking them for those that want them.

We still need iAtties for the V1 AFS. I've been using a LR901 with the V2 AFS for a week now. I've found you have to keep it good and wet. Here's my setup for LR901s. I keep every o-ring on except the one on the small top cap. At first I had the o-ring off the small top cap and the brass connector but it would run dry to much. I had to prime every 4 or 5 draws. Since I put the brass connector o-ring back on and removed the floval from around the four holes in the brass connector it's magic. Stays wet and vapes like a machine.

So the first impression with other atties is from you Harpo and its a very good one. Very nice buddy :):)

"I've been using a LR901 with the V2 AFS for a week now" ..what about the extra hole of the attie for the liquid to come inside the attie from the AFS ? ..Did you do it on your own? :confused:

You don't need them. The first one I drilled a ,5mm hole in it. The one I'm using now no additional holes and it vapes great.

Thanks imeo. I was just brainstorming about this today. Don't worry about losing money though. This us a good thing for vaping and will open up afs for many more users. I think you will get more afs sales with this news.

It also opens up the door for LR vapers too.

For me it means I will have more reason to buy more GG accessories and I feel safer in buying more AFS and mods in the future.

You did a good thing by telling us this information. It show honesty and integrity too.

I have a feeling you have no need to fear loss of sales.

Sorry for typos. I'm not so good with this iPhone.

Yes, I think you are right Waffle. Maybe many people didnt buy the AFS because they didnt want to buy special atties, but now they are free to do it.

ps.... I cant hide any good info Waffle, I never could do that. As you see I am open all the time putting my thoughts on forum and I inspire other people for their mods but I dont care friend. I want only my customers and my friends to be happy:toast:

Good to know Imeo.

And I think it's true, Lisa. Sometimes the stars plot against us and make sure we pop our last atty right when stock from our favorite suppliers is low. Now we have the option to use that backup in case of emergency.

The most important thing though:

This has increased the value (in my mind) of Imeo's AFS at least tenfold.

Before, to be honest, it was a one trick pony. A brilliant and beautiful AFS, yes... but it relied on a specially modified throwaway part, that, at the end of the day was at the mercy of Chinese engineering.

That placed its value in a very very very narrow margin.

This information now makes it an AFS that can work with ANY mod, at ANY voltage with ANY atomizer (I say any because if I know how Imeo's brain works, he's probably already working on a new cap that will allow it to work with 510's and 801's).

This now means that I can break out those old first generation mods collecting dust on my bookshelf. It means that I can feel safe buying a few more AFS in the future as backups. I can buy one for my wife so she can use her GGslim/GGSS without me worrying about her wasting tons of dollars on the learning curve.

I do realize that the AFS did always fit other mods, but it makes it more practical knowing that I can always find an atty somewhere if Rob and Lisa are out of stock.

And don't take this as me saying anything negative about the GG mods... It just means that my backups are no longer backups. They can be used with my AFS when I just feel like a change of scenery. The practicality of my GGTS is a whole other category.

I just want to reiterate the fact that Imeo's AFS has gone from "A really neat AFS" to "A Revolutionary AFS".

As of right now I know of no other AFS system that isn't sitting in a box mod right now. And to me thats a very exciting thing. If there are, PM me, I'd love to see one.

And now for some humor:
My wife has her backup mod as well. She never uses it, she is so in love with her GGS. Even her GGSS is collecting dust, she just really loves the little one.

The other day, she felt guilty that her backup mod had not seen the light of day in months. So she loaded it up with her favorite cart..sat in her chair and watched TV.... Her GGS sat on her table.... her eyes kept darting towards it.

I watched the entire time... it was like a kitten eyeing a bowl of milk that it wasn't supposed to touch.

She lasted about 10 minutes, I left the room and returned to her vaping her GGS.

No self control...:lol::lol::lol:

I love the cartomizer inside the AFS V2 myself. I really feel they were made for this system. I am working on just where to place the hole as the one I have in there now is just a little low. I am thinking about maybe a series of holes inline that start out low and go higher up. It is tricky to get holes in cartomizers without messing up the center tube. If you pierce that it will just flood right away.

As for regular 901s in the AFS V2. Yes this is an awesome piece of news imeo and we should all be very pleased that we are not forced to buy a higher priced atty to use the AFS anymore. I have been trying out just about every type of atty I have on hand and keep going back to those labeled GG i3, and GG i7. They just seem to last me longer and work better for some strange reason. I've got a little collection of dead atties and there are very few iatties in there. While I can get those cheap standard atties to work and I am waiting on the LR ones now to try out Thank you harpo for sharing your set up I will try that out when I get them. And yes we do need a steady supply of V1 atties for those using that model and loving it as much as I do. While it may leak a little here and there it works wonderfully.

Don't get me wrong the V2 has all the refinements I wanted on the V1 and more after using the beta and V1 for so long I just can't seem to get the V2 dialed in as well. I really think the draw of the atty has every thing to do with its performance in the V2 as far as juice flow goes. The tight ones from the start work perfectly in the V2 and the really airy ones not so good. So when searching through your collection of atties look for those with the slightly tighter draw and pop it in the V2 and enjoy the all day vape without touching the juice bottle to drip. I do and think to myself how lucky a vaper I am to have found the AFS and everything that goes along with owning a GG. I always have three of them ready to pick up and it has been nice to go to another device if one is not hitting to well.

Thanks imeo for working so hard to help out those of us who are heavy vapers and need a device that works every time we pick it up and thank you for solving the dripping thing for us too... What a pain that is. I don't see how people still mess with cart mods and drip tips when they could just get an AFS and vape without interruption all day. Keep up the good work imeo, I know you can't stop...

You're doing much better than I am Vapn. My i7 atty life has been two days. But thats why this is great news as well... I can find an atty that works for me... I wish I would have better luck with the iattys as I like how they are labelled. Always know which atty is which.


EDIT: Im curious, can you embellish on how you are using the cartos? Sounds interesting.

He mentioned in another post that he puts one ,5mm hole in it 8mm up from the bottom of the cartomizer.
