Zai my friend, first of all I want to thank you very much for your post and for all the suggestions you made for an even better GG line. I will try to answer to all of your questions one by one and I hope that you will find my answers satisfactory.
"* I have to remove 3 o-rings from my AFS to stop the leaking, which still hasn't fixed the issue."
3-4 people try GG products before they come to market. I trust their opinions and I ask them about the issues they have with every new product. If 4 people see what I see then I am sure that the product is ok.
"* The threads on the AFS are horribly sharp which is causing these o-rings to get cuts in them. (shouldn't these be filed down!?)"
Threads cant cut o-rings because threads never touch the o-rings. Threads touch only each other. But if you mean the end of a tube that has threads on it (like the AFS tank), then if o-ring is very thin like the one on the big cap then yes it maybe will get cut but if you notice I have file this place. All the other o-rings (exept the one on the brass connector) dont touch sharp surfaces. Lets see them one by one:
o-ring between caps. Its 3mm fat so even if you try to cut it with a knife you will not succeed. Same applies to the o-ring that is near the atomizer threads inside the AFS tank.
o-ring on the tank near the 8 holes. Its 2mm so its very fat but it dont touch any tube end either.
o-ring on the base of the brass connector. Its 2mm think so it can get hurt easily BUT: If your base of AFS tank is sharp then yes this o-ring can be cut. And if its sharp its because I forgot to file yours maybe!. I am very sorry about this.
I know the places on the AFS that can cut an o-ring and this is the only place that can happen. But it will not happen to any other AFS (I hope that I didnt missed another one).
"* I am told to go to a pet store to buy fluval to create my own o-ring to put a "band-aid" on the leaking issue."
I didnt had issues with 4 AFS testers. But when I see that someone has issues, I dont sit and watch. I try to do my best to give solutions. AFS is a revolutionary product that I tried to make it perfect but some units maybe have a problem. I never said that I will not change a problematic unit so feel free to send it back to me, no problem.
* I have to pick out metal shavings from the "laser hole" in the atomizer."
When you make a small hole like that, there is no way to clean the hole. But if you really want to kow what you inhale from those China atties you will be surprised. Ask Vapn what he saw in there. Chemicals that keep atomizer from getting rust!!
I dont mean of course that because China do things like that then I will do the same. You know how much I concern for our health. But I blow the holes with an air pistol and this is the only I can do on those small holes, so if some pieces are still there I cant see them. But now this "issue" is solved because there are no laser holes any more. And I put the word issue in quotas because all atomizers are as clean as they can be, I cant do more things for this.
About beta products: I dont send to market beta products. And when I do it I say it to all people like I did with the V1 AFS that I sold it half the price because I wanted many beta testers for it.
As for the machine-grooved GGTS issue. If you remember I said that I will try to make AFS units to match those grooves but if I cant manage to do this I will shine them. Of course they didnt came out as I wanted so I shine them. Do you think that I wanted to shine them? More money, time and fatigue for me but could I give you a ....y product? No.
Of course I dont take your statments as an insult, you are a GG member and I know that your reasons are pure. And I feel very lucky that I have people here that tells me what really is going on because they force me to make even better and more revolutionary products.
Now lets talk about the leakage issue. I have to say for 3rd time that 4 testers had no leakage issue. But it seems that 4 people arent enough. I have to have more testers in future. As for your unit, I think its better to send it back to me to check it. What do you say Zai?
ps......... try it with a cartomizer and you will solve your problems. If not, then please send it to me to see if something is wrong with the unit
thanks for reading my long post
