Someone told me of a supplier selling an adaptor and at first glance it came to me... one of those battery extensions.. It works very well.. Hope you can get someone to drill them for you... Start with one hole and see how the draw is... I have one with one hole and one with two holes. Hey that didn't sound too good... lol... happy vapn..
ha ha ha ha ---- we dont care what it sounds like,
we dont care what ir looks like
so long as it works is all we care about !!!!!
xaxa vapn , I never say no to nice people. I earn 25 euros each. Tell what you want and I will do it
That's a loaded statement.. hmmm... lets see here... AFS atties are all I want at the moment. I am looking for laser cutting people in my area... Could a laser engraver also do this? That is my mission this week. Getting tiny hole in atomizers. I want to do this to all 25 I have on hand. They are useless to me without that hole now that I have tried the AFS...
Plus something else I learned while using the AFS and the 901 atty. Keeping the air hole UP helps with vapor production too... I also notice that the little logo is usually printed on the opposite side as the hole. So if I pick it up with the logo facing me then the hole goes up when I puff... So if nothing else happened I leaned to use my 901s. I never knew it would help so much but it actually does.

Ok gang, here goes....
I got my GGT on Saturday, October 17th and my AFS on Friday, October 30. I wanted to use it for a couple of days and put it through its paces before giving any feedback.
DAY 1 - I watched the AFS videos to make sure I had a pretty good handle of what I was supposed to do and then I put it together (using the nano set up and a freshly charged Ultrafire protected 16340 batt). This was at about 5:30p. I filled the AFS up 3/4 full, put a couple drops on the atty, made sure the hole was down, took a few primer puffs and started vaping.
Really good flavor from the apricot juice I was using and a good warm vapor...not too much throat hit so I started taking longer drags and the throat hit got better.
So I'm continuously vaping and then start to hear the gurgling sound. Ok I say to myself, you must have flooded your atty...I do a couple of 1 second burns and then turn the hole face up and start vaping again. Still a little gurgly but better. Soon switch back to hole side down and get the full gurgle again after about 10 minutes....plus juice in my mouth this time. Ok I say to myself, you must be pulling too hard and decide to suck a little softer (no jokes please) after going through the 1 second burn, hole side up routine again.
Well I say to myself, there is definitely a learning curve so keep at it and you will master this thing. So I keep at it...
DAY 2 - Still about 1/4 of the original juice remains but I swap setups and go for the grant with a protected 18500 battery. I fill the AFS up again to 3/4 and vape. Better throat hit with the bigger battery and still good flavor. During the course of the day, I say to myself, you must have a leak because I keep seeing juice on the portion of the atty that is exposed. Further inspection and vaping reveals the leak isn't from the bottom of the AFS cup, but from the exposed atty hole. When I see the leaks, I turn the hole up or to the side, do the 1 second burn and vape from that angle for a few. Then back to hole down. Used the grant set up all day (w/o a refill) until I left for a Halloween party around 8:30p and took a smaller mod with me.
DAY 3- At about 3pm, I'm ready to try this thing at 6volts so I switch to giant mode and 2 tenergy rcr123 batteries. I fill the AFS up, which is almost empty, put some drops on the atty and start vaping. The first hit was awesome with about a 3 second drag. The second hit produced nothing.... so I say to myself, Damn you just fried your atty!
So the experiment is over. I have loads of 901 attys, but none have the second hole that the AFS needs to work and I am really bummed about that.
OVERALL, I will say that I really like the AFS because of the ability to pick up the GGT anytime and just vape all day, whether stationary or driving, without having to worry about dripping or refilling carts. I also liked that the atty never appeared to get hot although the AFS felt mildly warm on occasion. I also liked that the AFS serves as its own mixing bowl and that you can do the shake and vape, flavor thing.
I didn't like the juice leaking from the exposed atty hole which happened frequently. But there were no leaks at the o-rings that I could tell. I also didn't like losing the only atty I had to use with the AFS and had hoped that the AFS would keep the atty so wet that it would be less likely to die at 6v. But I guess 6v is 6v, no matter how wet your atty is. Lastly, the extra size (length) that the AFS adds (I have small hands and prefer the nano set up) is a wash since the AFS works well for its intended purpose.

exellent post bike and very very useful.!! thanks a lot
My new o-ring system dont allow atty leak from its own hole!! This was a very nice discovery I made today with my more new system and I liked it very much xaxaxa, we can put it in pocket too now
Your review wasnt complete because your atty broke. I will order more atty's for you and my other 14 testers to continue the tests and I will make more AFS for all people. It will be more expensive that I thought because of leaking issue from the atty's hole but you will buy it once!
thanks again bike,

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words Imeo.
It was my pleasure being an AFS beta tester until that atty died. I'd gladly test any product you put out.
Re: the new attys - if I understand you right, the new attys won't leak anymore from the hole that is exposed under the AFS cup? Also, about how much will the new improved attys cost?

I think it works too good imeo. We are liking it sooo much that we are working the atty much harder than usual. No break time to drip... You are able to just keep on puffin. I will be learning to take a few short breaks to let the atty cool a little.
I think it's the new improved AFS he's talking about that stops this leakage now.
EXACTLY - it was working too well, this was why I killed my atty too. Still, I am left with my memories of a wonderful vaping experience until the replacement atties come in.

I learned a very useful thing while using the AFS... When you keep the air hole up on the 901 you get more vapor. Give it a try... turn the hole down then up and see for yourself...
This does seem to be true, yes. I tend to move mine around a bit naturally anyway - although I do prefer a button upwards position.
What brand of 901 are you using? SLB or RN.? I don't notice any change on the SLB but more of a difference on the RN. Also with the RN, they make that gurgling sound most of the time?
When I first read your post Lisa I thought you said this does not seem to be true... oops..

sounds like you made some good improvements imeo, is there any way the AFS could be clamped to the atty so no movement is possible once it is in its correct position? just in case it is thrown into a bag or pocket, i must stress it works great as it is, I'm just thinking of every eventuality here
I am using an SLB at the moment and it is noticible on it.
Yes, the two are different -
The RNs seem to gurgle more, whereas the 901s really seem to spit and crackle more. Resistance differences maybe.
I alternate between which I prefer - I tend to kill RNs quicker than 901s but this could be complete coincidence.
I have been using the RN for some time. TECC to be exact and they have the logo printed on them... The air hole is on the opposite side as the logo.. When I go to take a puff if I am looking directly at the logo the air hole is always up when I put it to my lip.. And the Slim's bottom button really makes this easy... I have been using it all day today with the RN 901 and liking it pretty much.. I just don't like all this dripping though.. lol... Now for the Slim AFS...
RN's run slightly hotter than other 901's,so the RN's give a slightly harsher throat hit due to this increased running heat, as to durability..i think its down to user care and a big slice of luck with these things

This is not an inproved atty but an improved AFS, so no more cost
you are very right vapn. And I was wondering why my batteries last shorter xaxaxa. We use it double time now because we dont make dripping brakes
