Don't get me started again... if it wasn't an official part if the US government, the BBB would've shut them down a LONG time ago.

:facepalm:

in all fairness though - i've sent out priority packages in groups of 40 to 50 quite often ;) and very, very few went astray. but when they do it's an unbelievable mess :?:

I checked the tracking on my istick 40W and I guess it's coming on horse and buggy. It was updated in Flushing NY on Thursday(same day as the tank), says its in transit but hasn't updated since then. I was hoping to get it today but now I guess it will be within a year or two. :(

You should have requested Expedited Shipping.

It's traveling like this now...it got off the boat.
. Because you are special, the last mile of the route comes with your very own personal mailman. (Be sure to thank him in Pashto.)

And don't forget to save the meadow muffins for Ms. Tibs's rhubarb!

My new GS Air tank is here!! Unfortunately, the TC istick that it's going to be used with is a no show...:(
Congrats! Looks great! Hows the build quality? I know it's supposed to be 'mostly' stainless steel....I'm about to pull the trigger on one

Hi y'all,

I got 2 GS Air M s about 3 week ago and I'm running both of 'em on the 1.6 Ohm coils. I'm a MtL-er, not a cloud chaser, and usually operate from 10 to 12 maybe as high as 14 watts, depends on time of day more or less. I really like these, want to get more, great price and all. Oh yeah, usually have AFC about mid way.

Anyway all goes well except the last two afternoons goin' out and about in the afterrnoon heat, 95F and a bit more, they both started gurgling. I raised the watts and opened the AFC wide open and vaped carefully, seemed to clear out excess juice. Later, they drowned again(gurgling) and would clear. Got themback to ok at home later, they'd leaked clear out the bottom hole a bit. This seems to be a temperature dependent thing, I'm guessing.

Anywhoo, anybody know a fix? I want to get a bunch more of these units but the gurgling is a problem. My juice is 80+VG/20-pg, light Hangsen 555 flavor(3%) and 6mg/ml nic.

Wish I had not wasted money on the subtank Minis.

Gotta take my honey off to her Saturday Bridge game, be back later.

Thanks

If those are the original coils, it might be time to swap out. As the coils (the actual metal coil, that is) gunk up, they don't vaporize the juice adequately and end up flooding the head... ergo, flooding. If the coils are old-ish, swap out and put in a fresh coil. Especially if you use really dark or sweet liquids.

It's steadily 95+ degrees here and my GS Air MS floods generally only if the coil is shot.

How does increasing air flow help fix gurgling if increasing air flow increases amount of juice entering coil? I've read this several times and now that I received my first gsam yesterday I confirm it works, I just don't understand why? In my thinking you would just increase watts to burn excess juice and not want more juice. Is it like an engine where you need the right oxygen/gas mixture? I would never have imagined that with vaping. I know there are no dumb questions but it's feels so anyway :unsure:

Nope... it just literally blows out that excess juice that's built up. It all goes in your mouth. Then, it's gone and the rig vapes fine for a while.

Ah, interesting. I didn't notice it much, but then a little juice in the mouth never bothers me, I actually kinda like it :hubba:
guess this is a perfect tank for me :thumb:

Whatever tanks I was using, they usually gave out some trouble in the heat outside or in a hot car. Just make sure they are not in direct sunlight and is cool enough when you vape them.

BTW, the lost package that was returned to shipper and supposedly 'resent' (just across town on the same day another was sent from another vendor and arrived yesterday from 1500 miles away) still has not arrived and it's been two more days. They are a 'forum supplier' and I'm out of patience. :evil:
