Disaster Averted!!! GGTS AFSv2

[Rippspeed]

Well, after weeks of near perfection. My #109 had a major problem, this morning... I just got to work when I noticed that my AFSv2 was sitting funky or kinked on my GGTS and closer inspection it was loose. I tighten it; thinking it just worked itself loose again. Then all of a sudden the AFSv2 fell off ... I was like wow, what happen... Then I closely inspected it was the brass adapter piece that broke in half... Luckily for me I had a buddy with a needle nose and I already knew that I noalox'ed the threads on the adapter piece I was able to chase it out...

I guess I wont be using my AFSv2 with my #109 anymore. I'll be connecting it with just the Golden GG and purchase a AVS upgrade for my #109 ...

Send Imeo 10 euros and get a new brass piece.

Probably from falling damn, they crack. Easy to get new ones though

AVS removes this possibility though... and a new tank is lovely

Let me see $15 for a replacement part or $106 for a new AVS? No brainer in my book.

Yeah... I dont think; I'll be using an adapter piece on my GGTS anymore... I have the Golden GG aka Gold Drop for the AFSv2, I'll just buy a new AVS upgrade

$106 is better I dont want to take anymore chances, of a broken adapter piece stuck in a GGTS or the AFSv2 ... Plus, when I said near perfection, is because I actually prefer the AVS over the AFSv2 now because of the better flavor. And with MWA posting about those Danco orings, if that corrects the problem with the AVS emptying into the collector tank; when its half full... It would be perfect...

dunno if you'd tried this yet..but I run my AFSv2 with this mod and have no problems..even if it gets dropped. It's 10x more sturdy this way.

that's a bummer then. I ordered a couple of extra adapters with mine, but so far haven't needed them. As far as the AVS..I've been debating doing the order for one, just because. I'm happy with the AFSv2 performance, but on those semi-rare occasions when the barometer drops suddenly around here(bizarre weather fronts), it would be nice to have the juice drop into a collector tank vs my shirt pocket. I'm also curious about the discussions of the AVS being easier to clean and such...still debating for the moment.

I tell you the difference for me is flavor... I own both and the AVS does give me alot more flavor. But, my AFSv2 is air tight; no leaks ... My AVS leaks like a siv into the collector tank when its half empty...

Thats the most odd thing and it happens only to you Rip. And I dont have an answer for it!

I think I've narrowed it down to a few things Imeo... I have another AVS now and it acts totally different from my first AVS... Got to figure it out...

 

[harpo]

There is so many parts in the AVS, anyone of them can effect it's operation. I would say an o-ring is probably the problem.
