Eleaf GS Air Fan : Part 2

[GemInEye]

Hello everyone, those of you that have both the gs air m and Ms, have you noticed that the Ms does not live up to the m? I am not digging my Ms flavor. It is very muted in comparison to the m. I've changed the coil, prepped It and left it soak overnight. It's this a thing with my tank or have you experienced this add well? Anything I can do to fix it?

Uh-Oh. Time for Mimi to start taking her Geritol!
You gotta stay in tip top shape -- this race hasn't even started yet!

Where's that frying pan?
I'm hoping this passes before my grandbaby comes.

It may just be some bad coils. Try the coil in an M and see if you get the same problem. If so, it's definitely the coil.
I've noticed little difference in the MS except for having to constantly refill it.

Could be the tanks...I tend to prefer the taste in my full nautilus to mini, with kanger I always find juices taste best from the mini compared to the protank3 and aerotank. All these take the same coils, suggesting differences are down to tank design in some way. Either that or imaginary!

This...mostly folks have noticed the MS vapes a little warmer due to the short distance between
coil and tip.
Welcome to the Air Head world!

I just noticed. When you buy a pair of batteries from the above company, they send a free battery case.

So does RTD Vapor.

Not really. I have all four GS tanks and really can't tell the difference in vapor or flavor production.

Hello, Airheads!

I bought the GS AIR-MS tank to go with my new iStick Mini 20 watt. Using the new GS AIR 1.2 ohm cotton coils,
soaked for a long time in Sweet Vapes Banana Max VG. I'm getting burnt taste even at low 8-10 watts. If I let it sit awhile I get a decent pull, but the next pull, if slightly long goes burnt again. The whole package is cute, more pocket friendly then my new DNA200 LavaBox, but so far this tiny setup is not able to keep up with a high VG juice. I tried adding some distilled water to thin the juice, but no better, so perhaps the cotton is already too scorched by now on this coil.

Any tips or advice, or is it just a matter of going to a 50/50 juice, I see some claim good results with high VG, not seeing that here!
Thanks.

Welcome to the thread Mactavish! I haven't tried the 1.2's, hopefully someone who has will be along to help out!

8 to 10 watts on an istick 20 may be a little high. I usually run around 7.5 and sometimes lower on the 20.

+1 on the above. The iStick 20 ran hot, especially on the lower end of the scale. Never had a iStick Mini, but as I recall it fires the same as the 20. (You can read about the Mean vs. RMS power calculation thing in the iStick thread - or watch pBusardo's youtube vid review on the iStick 20.)

I now use my 20w only as a back-up device - which means "hardly ever". It became too much of a hassle trying to get the same vape when switching between the 20 and other devices.

However, I just took off a GS-Tank from an iStick 30w and put it on my 20. Somewhat of a subjective observation, but to me the 20 running at 7 watts produces more vapor than the 30 at 11 watts. Really a nice vape, but like I said it was too much hassle when switching between devices. It's been awhile, but as I recall I usually ran it at 6.5w.

Caveats: Running a rebuilt 1.5 ohm coil in the GS-Tank and only have 50/50 PG/VG ratio eliquids.

I bought the GS AIR-MS tank to go with my new iStick Mini 20 watt. Using the new GS AIR 1.2 ohm cotton coils,
soaked for a long time in Sweet Vapes Banana Max VG. I'm getting burnt taste even at low 8-10 watts. If I let it sit awhile I get a decent pull, but the next pull, if slightly long goes burnt again.

I use the 1.2 coils at 12-14 watts on the gs air m. First coil I did burn by going up to to 17 watts, after three or so draws got the funky burnt taste, the coil was no good from there in in. New coil I primed and let sit and it went through 15ml of juice at 12-14 watts just fine.

However that was a 50/50 juice. So it could be a problem for heavy vg...

Cotton as I found out once it's burnt it's burnt! Perhaps let it sit for longer on initial fill and work up the watts carefully.

For info. I use an mvp 20 and an mvp 3.0

8 to 10 watts on an istick 20 may be a little high. I usually run around 7.5 and sometimes lower on the 20.

I run my iStick 20 in the voltage mode only--and at it's lowest setting, usually.

 

[Katya]

I use the 1.2 coils at 12-14 watts on the gs air m.

Too high... You're dealing with a single coil. Start at 6 or 7 watts and increase your wattage only as/if necessary.

12-14 watt range is fine for dual coils (1.5Ω GS Air coils).

Good luck!

the istick 20watt is well-known for running hot - best to start as low as possible and work up

It's a bvc in the 1.2 and is meant to go upto 30 watts...12-14 works great for me with no dry hits or burning...the other person was having the issues with it at 7-8'watts on an istick 30 I think...

With 50/50 pg/vg I reckon the gs air is good upto 15 watts in most mods with 1.2 coil...much like the nautilus.

So I'm a wimp. I prefer cooler, gentler vapes--6.5-8 watts per horizontal coil, a bit more for verticals.

Make sure you prime the coil well--they are like little cartomizers; if you have dry spots in that wick/wrapper, you'll burn the coil.

Anyway, start low--always. Just in case.

Lol not at all...

Seems as if the issue is definitely the other persons istick 20 throwing out more than the 7 or 8 watts.

Quite why Eleaf say upto 30 watts for their 1.2 ohm coils is another thing entirely...it'd have to be 100% pg on a device that does the opposite of the istick 20 i.e. less power than it reads.
