Eleaf GS Air Fan

[Bikenstein]

Well, so far I prefer the M. Keep in mind that I prefer a less airy draw, so I have the AFC all the way closed. And, I'm still waiting on my tiny screwdriver from fasttech, so I haven't adjusted the AF on the original from the way it came. I think I will be able to better pick a favorite once I am able to play with the AF on the original.

An eyeglass repair kit may have a flat screwdriver that would work.

That's true. I wish they would provide a larger flow through the centerpin of the coil head, but it's already max for it's size. I like the screw adjustment better even though I ended up taking it out after a while

I did notice that the base pin of the TC coils has a little bit bigger hole and is gold plated... might make a difference for rebuilds. Looks cooler anyway, being all Mr. T. blinged out.

Or any jewelers kit.

Go to any dollar store or any hardware store and get an eyeglass repair kit or a set of jewellers' screwdrivers, while you wait for the slow boat from Shanghai.

Tip of a good steak knife, or a Girl Scout knife, will work as well.

LOL. I think the gold plating is for better contact for TC. You can get a little more air but need a little more wicking, too. might as well just use the Lemo 2, I guess. I just like to tinker and modify junk.

My Dad was a Watchmaker and jeweler so I have plenty of small screwdrivers plus plenty of bluedrivers that come with RDAs. The eyeglass kit will probably be cheapest.

I have that first set in the pictures Gran posted. $4.99 at Tractor Supply. Also Tractor Supply sells propylene glycol by the gallon for $19.99 but I've wondered about purchasing it when I've needed PG.

@Cloudmann will thinning high VG juices with distilled water dilute the flavor?

They do, that's what I used to adjust the screw on my GS Air, a little eyeglass screwdriver.

That's what I use for my GSAs.

I used a pointy ended nail file the most.

Thinning juice with anything other than flavor will dilute the flavor...
ETA: But it still might be a good enough vape for you

I flattened one of my nail files. I broke my emory board. My cuticles need work....

My new GS tank should be here tomorrow as should my Istick 40 TC.

 

[Cloudmann]

...plenty of bluedrivers...

I have a box of these, now. They could at least offer different colors.

A little, but at 8%, I seriously doubt you'll notice it. You're cutting it to 92%, not 70% or 50%. Most likely you won't be able to tell at these low concentrations. Rize juices were always pretty full of flavor, from what I recall.

If you delve into DIY, when using flavor concentrate, use an extra 5-10% to counter this.

Me personally, I like vaping my 100% VG sludge with its corn syrup consistency... in my Subtanks and RDAs, anyhow. On the GS, I generally cut it with 1-2% DI water to thin it just a TAD.

 

[Canno]

Maybe I didn't read enough. I was hoping for a good amount of air flow.

You're not going to get the kind of air flow from these that you will out of a subohm clearo... I can't speak to the draw that the original GS Air provides (don't own one), but the other three are DAMN near identical. Wide open, they provide an airflow somewhere between the first and second air settings on the Subtank Mini/Nano... enough to lung hit directly, but certainly not what you'd get from something like a Freemax Starre or whatnot.

Which coils are you using?

 

[Canno]

I don't own any of the ones you mentioned. I use my Lemos and my Lemo 2 wide open. Not using anything at the moment with premade coils.

 

[Canno]

The tank comes with TC coils but I ordered some 1.2 vertical coils.

EDIT: And so far I don't have any interest in sub ohm. I build my Lemos from 1.1 to 1.4.

The airflow from the 1.2 ohm coils and the TC coils is about the same. Maybe SLIGHTLY more with the TC coils, but I really can't tell a difference. That said, if you're doing straight wattage regulation vaping, you can crank the power up a bit (sounds like you may already do that, having the Lemo and Lemo 2) and it'll actually become slightly airier. That juice is vaporizing TONS quicker like that. In TC mode, you really don't see that, since the wattage is adjusted on the fly to keep the coils at whatever temp you selected.

Try a couple of things... crank your temp up a whole lot on the TC coils... see if that helps. Also, when the 1.2 ohm coils come in, prime them and break them in with a quick couple of vapes at 15 watts, then you can run them at 20-25 watts with a VG heavy juice, 30-35 watts with a 50/50 or thinner. If that wattage is constant and not fluctuating as it does on a TC mod, it'll keep that juice vaporizing and open that draw slightly.

I never particularly thought TC was needed on the GS Airs. They really aren't prone to dry or burnt hits anyhow, and that's the big advantage of TC vaping.
