Eleaf GS Air Fan : Part 2

[love coffee]

The 1.5Ω GS Air dual horizontal coils (my favorite) come with silica wicks. The newer, vertical coils (1.2Ω) are cotton. At least that was the case I last ordered them, and that was a while ago. I used to get mine from Rocky Mountain Vapor.

@Katya
Katya, did you like the cotton coils? And, do they fit the GS-Air M?

For some reason, I prefer the old, dual horizontal coils (1.5Ω) coils. Besides, those can be rebuilt (with some effort) with a single horizontal coil. I tried the vertical cotton ones, but I wasn't very happy with them. But that's just my personal preference. You may feel differently. And yes, they are all interchangeable and fit all the GS Air tanks.

New to me! Improved airflow control, but only 1.8 ml capacity?

Yeah, only sub ohmers get the big tanks now. Not many options for coils and nothing is modifiable.

Yeah. I don't need huge tanks, but 3-4 ml is what I like. That's one reason I switched to ego One series. Larger tanks and easily rebuildable coils.

I have the same opinion

Hiya Katya! Good to see you around again!

Were the 1.5 ohm coils dual horizontal? It’s been awhile, but I thought they were single horizontal coils with a silica wick and a cotton surround. Maybe old age is getting to me....

 

[Katya]

Hiya Katya! Good to see you around again!

Likewise, I'm sure!

Were the 1.5 ohm coils dual horizontal?

Yup. Dual horizontal, silica wicks--two 3Ω coils. Nice at 12-14 watts or so.

Was that the one where the coils were stacked one on top of the other?

Yes. The search engine here doesn't work, so I Googled GS Coil rebuild, but Cheech's video has been removed? Not sure why. His blog is gone, also... It showed the innards of the coils and how to rebuild them. There are some videos on YouTube (not in English) that show a GS rebuild, but I haven't watched them.

All can be rebuilt, but the easiest is the 1.5 dual coils into a single coil like the video shows. The 1.2 and .75 have a "manhole" cover in the top instead of a cap
and are vertical, single coil.
The gauze can be bought at Dollar Store, there is a picture of it in my blog: Relining The GS Air | E-Cigarette Forum

We are waiting to see if the new 1.2 coils are dual cotton coils...

Ok thanks. This has been a good refresher for me, in preparation for the day I get myself an Eleaf Kiya kit. Dunno how long I can resist that one, especially since I have a bunch of these coils, a few already rebuilt, lying around.

 

[Katya]

Eleaf Kiya kit.

??? New toys?

All I want is a Kayfun 4 vape with a Kayfun 5 simplicity. Seriously. Why oh why can't I have it?

Yeah.... I’m no gear hound, but I’m having a hard time resisting that one.

KMv3? Fired one up recently for the first time in quite awhile. Hard to find a good clone now.

Really? I'll take a look.

Too small, too fiddly, too much trouble. Got one from FT a long time ago, used it a couple of times, sitting in its box--unloved...

. . .

Nah. Don’t go by me. Not entirely sure why I like it so much.

Pros: small, very large and readable screen, comes with low-profile atty for which I already have coils, fast charging (2 amp as I recall), djlsb provides a TCR setting for running SS316L, 25 mm width (I only have 22 mm mods so far).

Cons: low battery capacity (1600 mAh), so only good for shorter jaunts.

I think I just really like the form factor of the entire package. Would be a kinda irrational purchase for me. You’ve seen it before in the “itty bitty mods” thread.

Irrational purchase?!?!?!

It's cute, though; 1600 mAh is pathetic by today's standards, but some of us started with 180 mAh cigalikes.

I came in right at the end of all the big sales for Ego Ones and the Trons. I've watched for the past month and don't even see much at all of them at FULL price anymore. I am still using GS stuff. I know the Egos are supposedly easier to rebuild but I've probably rebuilt 100+ GS coils, I pretty well have it down pat.

And of course, the GS stuff is STILL readily available. I think it is Sweetvapes that still has the M's for $10. I may actually get 2 or 3 more for spares and some more coils. I actually bought a couple replacement 1/16" drill bits the other days for MS coils.

My YouTube channel got hacked apparently, so I removed everything. I guess using the password of 1-2-3-4 like my luggage wasn't such a good idea.
