do you mean the avs3 with the clear window, or the entire tank? if this post is correct, the avs3 should be sent to all sellers, including e-cigz london, by friday.
On Friday I will have them in my hands guys. Sorry for the small delay but I will start assembling w/k and I will ship on Monday
The clear ones are the ones im after a guy over here was making them last year but hes gone off the radar now.
Im having an AVS 3 from Cam when i order my Nickle plated GG so hopfully by the end of next week but these clear tanks are a pain to source.
Am i right in saying they are acrylic?
Just wondering if i could get some made up by an acrylic firm just go off the normal tank to get the dimensions and thread sizes etc..

Unfortunately for us I don't think Imeo was happy that arry was making them, though I am sure that they are acrylic and I think you're on the right path. Their unavailibility makes me want to do something I am loathe to do normally -- do a little modding myself!
I already had perfection with my clear tank with an 808 inside; with the new AVSV3 being for attys and none designed for the 808 for the foreseeable future (per Imeo) I feel I need to do something........no offense, Imeo!
The new AVS is made for 510 for now but the 901 connector will come soon guys. When did I dissapoint you?!!
UKtarget, the new AVS3 has a clear window, so liquid is visible. That was a reqwest for a long time here. The reason that is not all transparent is that it cant break easy and thats a serious issue to me.
Arry was ok by making those very nice tanks but there was a misuderstooding between us that we solved easy.

I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn, I thought the extended tank wouldn't be ready until after a few of the other projects got done....
.......I'm glad, arry's a good guy.

Im thinking maybe a little thicker acrylic that should solve the breakage issue unless someones seriously heavy handed.
It may mean sacrificing a little volume but i should imagine that 4.5 to 5 ml could still be held maybe a little more.
Thin acrylic will be brittle if made from a thin tube but making it from a little thicker tube should solve that (hope that makes sense).
Just an idea im going to have a look into, i get red lenses for enlargers from a small firm and i will put it to him to see what he say's would be a good way of doing them.

AVS3 has 3mm walls. Its 5mm tall so there is no way to break. All things on GGTS and AVS have to be the strongest ones.
The new AVS is a very neat solution - I know this is subjective, but the sight glass looks, to me, better than a completely clear tank, and has all the advantages. I'm a big fan of the new design - the pre-production prototype I have is doing exactly what it says on the tin, and hasn't let me down yet. And a 901 version is the icing on the cake for me - if a 510 tastes this good, a 901 has to be the canine's cojones!
Yeah, but Imeo said this last week.......
thanks ash
AVS is made only for 510 for now JB but I will make other connectors too. I just dont know when I will be able to make them
Ripple, the new AVS will come with its own collector tank. As for 901 connection, I will do it later
Well, I'm sure it'll come eventually..........
Indeed... I'm a big 901 in an AVS fan, but the 510 in the new style AVS is a damned good substitute for the moment. I am surprised and pleased by the intensity of the flavour. Gawd help me, the 901 version will be positively orgasmic if this is anything to go by...
I am glad that Imeo builds his designs to his high standards of strength and durability for people to use daily in any environment.
Thanks for staying focused on the amazing integrity in your designs Imeo.

Nope - trust me, with the flavour, vapour and throat hit the 1.5ohm 510 throws out, there is absolutely no need to go carto. More to the point, the control you have over both juice flow and airflow renders the buffering effect of a carto entirely redundant.
I must not understand what these new ones do, I've seen the videos but I saw the videos of the other versions also and that didn't help me
; all I know is I personally didn't feel that attys worked as well in my AVS as cartos did, its was too hard to keep them either primed or not leaking into the CT like a sieve -- and I tried multiple times, the control ring on the adapter moves too much to make it worthwhile IMO for 510s and 901 experiments were just not as good as the cartos. I hate to be a Doubting Thomas but I have to see this in action myself before I'll buy one, I like the ease of use now a lot.
With the 901 in an AVS2, for instance, much is down to the size of the hole in the atty's side. Too small, and you'll possibly get dry spots. Too big, and you'll be struggling against over-wetness, depending on how you have to airflow control ring set.
With the 510 on the new AVSv3, the juice flow control is, in a manner of speaking, controlled by the tank itself moving up and back from the air intake holes on the atty itself, continuously variable from completely shut off to as wide open as you like. So juice flow is easily controlled. Airflow comes via the central stem and collector tank, so the airflow control ring handles that one from completely closed to wide open. Between the two controls, you can account for just about any 510 atty's actual charactersistics, and, additionally, "turn off" the juice altogether to prevent any leakage into the collector tank. It's ingenious, and works well. More, the effects are immediate. With a carto, they would not be - it would buffer any setting you made and the effect would not be apparent for some time.

I thank you too Poppa for the support. I need it to make better products for all of us
Hifi explained how new AVS works in the best way, I have nothing more to say about this. Thanks hifi, you are a very explanatory man!
