Have to say, however, that when it works it's a superb flavoursome vape and I was actually someone who never really liked 3.7v vaping.

With the AFS I'm a convert. Can't wait to see what this baby will do with higher voltage atties :)

its better with those atties Vaug for several reasons, but you will see yourself. I just want to say that you will be veeeery pleased:)

I've only used at 3.7v and have had two go on me fairly quickly. I bought 4 in all. Irritatingly, the ones I have left seem not to feeding through the hole. Before I consign them as AFS failed is there anything I might try to clean up the holes (in case they are blocked for any reason).

I take a metal dental pick to mine before using them to make sure the hole is actually open. This works if they get clogged up also. A sewing needle works also.

You amaze me Vapn - Thanks for your tip.

In that case I'm going to look for a simlarly sized surgical instrument. I can't be seen publcally to make this a GG knitting circle...

Thanks emonty - strange, i had already tried that... my AFS seems to be working again.. not sure why I'm getting intermittent results..

Incidently, I think I've just discovered a long life small 3.7v battery that may get the overall size down.


AW IMR 26500 2300mAh LiMN rechargeable lithium battery

That's a very fat battery, not good for us (as PVs currently stand anyway)

I use sharp pointed tweezers to check the AFS hole.

OMG my gg order arrived already and those damn chinese batteries haven't :shock: I knew this would happen :rolleyes:

So while my poor GGTS is waiting by the side :( I gave a shot at AFS with a regular 901 passthrough (actually a cartomizer one but I guess it's the same thing) and my first attempts were lousy.

Then I blew through the laser hole and things went good :)

When I used just the cart, I tend to get a lot of fluid in my mouth. Then I used one of my used ones with filler in it and now it's better. I know you guys don't recommend it but for this short time I'm testing it works for me.

Perhaps it's my carts? I have the ones from healthcabin.

Hi Lux,

If you feel liquid in your mouth then the filler is the best solution. Who said that is not recomended? But be careful when you put the catridge with filler inside because its too long and covers the laser hole. So cut the catridge a little or put a little filler inside the atty and then put only the catridge without its brown extension.

Thanks Imeo, when you say brown extension, what exactly do you mean? Is that the part of the cartridge that stops being completely round shaped? As mine are all black. Im probably missing something simple :oops:

And it does seem to depend on the liquid. But when it does hit it is awesome. My mouth senses are a bit screwed, must be the cold or something and trying tons of liquid the other night.

Wow, this thread took a while too read in whole.

So pg is better than Vg to use in the AFS.

The lazer hole in the TW atomizer is going to be moved(don't know where).

801/510 atomizers could be made, but I didn't catch if it would need a whole now cup for this or just the cap.

Will super T end caps work on the afs? I didn't see one post asking, or even saying that they have tried it yet.

The AFS holds how much liquid? 2/3eds correct? How low does it get when you have too add more? Does the liquid change colors from going in and out of the afs when it needs to be refilled?

Damulta..I will answer your questions bud....

I use VG at about 20% with no troubles at all.
The hole is not going to be moved as of yet. It is right about the same level as the bridge now. Maybe a little higher.

510s are possible with a little mod to the mouthpiece. It needs to be a little longer. ( I am testing this as we speak... shhh don't say anything...works beautiful... hahah)

The super T tip does work with the AFS no problem. They do change the air flow somewhat and affects the juice flow a bit. I noticed this and do not use them on the AFS now. It seems that a small hole is needed to get the juice to flow as needed. I found the best mouthpiece is actually from a J118 OR the RN because you can take the inner cup out of those and use just the mouthpiece. (You wont need that drip friendly thingie anymore after using the AFS for a while...hahaha... )

The AFS holds about 4ml of juice when filled to the rim. I like mine at about 2/3 full though. So that is about 3ml. When totally full it just flows all the time and floods the atty quick. The juice should not change color. It does not flow back into the AFS as far as I know. The hole is sooooo small... I can go for about 4 hours before I notice it needs more. But then I am a really HEAVY vaper. Normally at work I can get almost the whole day out of one tank. Maybe top it off at the end of the shift.

Don't be afraid to PM me with questions, I am happy to help!

Hiya Lux, Glad your GGTS arrived ok and quickly.
Next time buy batts from me and you'll get them all at the same time. :D:D
You need to use the RN4075 cart which has the brown bit that can be removed from it. Alternatively, if you use a one-piece cart, you will need to cut away a small bit of the cart so that the AFS hole isn't blocked.
Yes, you can use a small piece of filler inside the atty (not inside the cart) if needed.

Yeah if I knew the batteries would take that long to arrive, I mean they shipped on the 1st or something this month, oh well...

At least I can fiddle around with the AFS till then. So far so good. I got the hang of it, at least I think so :D As suggested, I cut a little of the carts plastic. I didnt use any filler and seems I dont need it now. Might be I was inhalig wrong or something before.

Crappiest thing though, I caught a cold. What a stupid coincidence with the arrival of the AFS as my test buds are all screwed. lol

Ah now I just noticed the leaking. Dont know how I missed it before.

So besides the filler (which I currently dont have, only tried cutting out some of my default 901 cart filler and putting it in the atty but that didnt do much good as it sucks up juice pretty fast and falls down to the liquid hole) is there any other tip?

maybe you should test some smaller filler to put...I was using the AFS for 15 days (at least) to make it work really good...You have to find its tricks!

Yep, try adding some VG to your juice if you are suffering a bit of a leaky atty - this shouldn't be an issue with the newer ones when they come through......

Yeah I definitely needed to thicken the liquid a bit. However the leakage was still there.

So I made a temporary solution which proved very sweet. I took a small bandage (for hand or something) cut it and wrapped around the end of the atomizer. Now I actually don't see the air hole but the air comes in as normal as this material isn't very thick.

Then at the very end of the atomizer I used a small rubber (I think it's for teeth braces or something as they are very small) to keep it tight.

Now the leak doesn't go anywhere beyond the atomizer:p
