Really like the M so far.

One nit-picky con?

Without a SUPER pointy juice nozzle, filling up can be an adventure. I've ended up with a fist full of juice twice now when filling up because of juice down the chimney.

Yup, I quickly replaced the "nipple" on my pocket toted bottle with one slightly more slender to get it actually in the fill slot instead of just up to it.

I noticed this has been posted a couple of times that the M is harder to fill, is the fill hole that much smaller than the Air?
I've looked at the pics many have been so kind to post, but can't see the hole. (Again, maybe I could phrase that better)

OK guys I can't sleep at nite until I find replacement glass for these Ms. Anyone ran across any? So far my only concern with them is how it's gonna handle the first time I drop it about 10' onto sumtin hard. :)

I did that the first day with my first GS Air...been looking ever since with no luck.
They certainly didn't intend the user to take them apart as they siliconed the screw section at the top
where it comes apart.
Would prefer to be able to dismantle for cleaning.

Thought I read on the comments section for the FT ones, they were a hybrid of GS16 and Airs. Kind of a Franken-Air.
Paging Bikenstein!:D

I like that Franken air.Its got a gs air base and a Gs16 top and drip tip should have said wobbley drip tip.Its slightly taller then the authentic Gs air

I now have two coils waiting to be rebuilt! YAY -- one with a chimney started to gurgle and slightly leak through the 510 connection yesterday after two weeks of use, so I pulled it. I then opened a fresh pack of coils and these are flat tops, no chimney. (Not sure which vendor they came from.) Will see if there is a difference in performance. No mail delivery yet, but the GSAir-Ms should be here today.

As far as gurgling and leaking out the connector end--- I've always had that issue. Cant seem to find a reason or permanent fix. I just remove the coil and blow out the connector end and put it back in. It vapes fine after that too.

Looking forward to hearing about the flat tops! They seem to be the malcontents of the Air world.
TWO weeks on a coil! Holy Cow! What do you vape? Unicorn tears and distilled water? :laugh:

I got 2.5 -3 weeks on each of the stock coils that came with the GS Air. The replacement ones are giving me grief.

I had one that read out as 1.4 and got bad dry hits. I put a second one in that tank and lasted a day. Its is now tasting like an ashtray on some hits.
I have another replacement coil in a second tank that is on day 2 and so far so good. I wonder why I'm having issues with the replacement coils not lasting so long as the stock. I heard it was the other way around. Oh well!!

Oh, I hope these flat top coils are not trouble -- I think we have several packs of them. :facepalm: So far, so good - vaping it right now.
Yep, two weeks -- but I rotate at least 5 tanks with different flavors daily - so the coil I pulled most likely only had about 15-20 ML go through it. And it was a light juice -- Daft Spunk (custard) by Sleeping Dragon Vapor.

I had read only problems with the stock coils only too...

I had always suspected that the leaking occuring was juice seeping between the silicon gasket and air tube on the top of the coil.
but I haven't had one act this way in order to play with it and see, which leads to the flat tops having this problem.
With the amount of liner material I pull out of these, it's hard to imagine juice getting through there in order to cause this kind of flooding.
I only use one layer of material when rebuilding and havn't had flooding or leaking yet.

If there is an issue we'll solve it! We have the will, the brains, and a very big hammer!

I'm thinking that its not seeping between the silicon gasket....but rather that the cotton is somehow getting supersaturated which causes some of the excess juice to drip down to the bottom of the coil where the pin is. Since the coils are not sealed off at the bottom the juice doesn't pool there it just leaks out and on to the mods 510 connector. I think this is the cause since it usually happens when the tank sits for a few hours or overnight with juice in it.

I only get flooding sometimes when the juice level gets low. Or when the coil is gunked a little and I'm drawin on it too hard. I've opened the airflow some and they are not flooding as easy.

One of the things that i liked about this coil was I vape to the bottom of the tank and was surprised
it didn't flood out like the Protanks did. I think I just got lucky!

I have gotten down pretty low with these as well and they seem to do pretty good.

I haven't had this happen with letting them sit for extended periods yet so that's why I thought the blame lay elsewhere.
Makes sense!
maybe I need to set up a stock coil overnight and see what happens...Can't see why it would do that with stock and not my rebuilds.
H-m-m-m, a mystery?

It does seem to be just a bit smaller opening to fill the tank,

The M on the left, regular Air on the right.

I like that Franken air.Its got a gs air base and a Gs16 top and drip tip should have said wobbley drip tip.Its slightly taller then the authentic Gs air

I have a couple of those, home made Franken-Airs...
