This is a bit off topic but I toasted some e liquid recently at 9.5W set on the istick with this tank. I blame my istick. Liquid was 50/50 PG/VG so it should be wicking just fine. My istick has been acting wonky lately. I was scorching a lot of liquids in my Lemo, so I thought i was wicking poorly....but now I think the pbusardo power mgmt issues he brought out are exaggerated on my istick. I'm convinced I'm getting more than the average voltage spiking with it. I've been using it non stop since November, and vaping while charging. So, I don't doubt that I have been hard on it.

Got a new ipv Mini 2 last night and am amazed at the difference. I can run it at 16.5W and it seems comparable to 10 on the istick....only a lot smoother, and more even temperature vapor.

You're not the only one, if that's any consolation to you... Same thing happened to somebody else; I read about it in another thread. Sudden voltage spikes. Yikes.

And just for those who were thinking that the Ijust Air was just a bigger version of the GS Air...

Uh, no.

It's a vintage version of the Protank with a press-fit coil. NO flavor. LITTLE vapor. MAX wast of caish.

I shoulda held out for the GS Air M but got antsy.

Dummy.

Oops. Are you sure it wasn't just a bad coil?

Anyway, thanks for taking one for the team. :D :facepalm:

Finally got my two GS Airs yesterday, took one to work today with an istick mini. I dont have a teeny tiny screwdriver, but I was able to adjust the screw with the pointy end of a thumbtack. I am not sure what I think yet. It seems like its way too airy of a draw, no matter where I adjust the airflow. I'll hold off final judgement until I use the other one, and also will try them on the bigger isticks cranked up a little higher than what the mini will do, maybe that will make a difference.

We are all so different. There are people who complain that the Lemo is way too airy for them while others drill bigger holes in them to get more air. :lol:

I love the airflow on my GS Air--it's just the way I like it. I never even had to adjust it once. It was perfect--for me--out of the box.

Board2Tears.. I had the same problem with one of my iSticks. Try this.. turn it all the way up, fire it a few sec. turn it all the way down, fire it a few sec. Repeat as needed. Mine finally settled down after a while and is working good now. it's weird. :?:
CaptJack.. your right on about the air adjustment! It's a very small amount from closed to fully open for the screw adj.

I wish I had one for each of my flavors! I think they are also going to help me lower my nicotine level. I can only handle a few hits at a time at 16 mg. of nic. or I start getting a little woozy and nauseated.

Wow. I bet you do get a blast of nicotine. I vape 6 mg and have gotten a bit woozy at times. I've got 3 and need a couple of more, too!

Yes...it was the original Stick 20W. Other than the recent unexplained behavior, I really love everything about the istick. Ultimately I went with the IPV mini rather than an upgraded Istick only because I wanted a mod with a replaceable battery.

I previously posted on the istick thread about the behavior....and got a few good suggestions but nothing that seems to fix the problem long term. There's so many variables that I'm not going to worry about it too much but burning tanks of juice all the time is frustrating.

I've had 5 MVP 2 batteries die in the last 2 weeks after 9 months of use. I love my isticks and have 3 but no more mods that I can't replace the battery on for me! I just got the IPV mini, too, and I love it! Just ordered my second. Fasttech released a rose colored one and I couldnt resist the color. It is just such an amazing mod. It's called a mini but it's more of a midi size since it holds an 18650 battery.

I still love the iStick and I'm hoping the batteries last longer. At least their price point is much better! It's a great match for the GS Air and since the GS Air is so cheap it makes the iStick a much better buy.

Keep going with the screw. Mine is almost all the way in and the draw is a lot less airy. I think you have to get to the point where you almost cut it off completely, but if you like a tighter draw, it works very nicely. I had fiddle with mine a good bit before I found the right spot.

I have been rotating between my original two tanks for a week or so now and I am not disappointed yet!
Even the one I dry burned is cooking right along.
What I cannot figure out is that I am running these at 3.0 volts on my iStick 20 and very happy with the
vapor production and flavor. Must tie in with the notorious "high" actual voltage on the iStick.
Tried one of my Mini Protanks with recoiled, rewicked rayon tanks and was let down with the flavor and
vapor.
Great, now I'm spoiled with a cheap (inexpensive) tank I can't rebuild and gloomy thoughts that it will be discontinued.
Argh! Must order more coils!
anyone get a line on possible replacement glass tubes for these things?

Isn't the top ring permanently fixed to the tube? I wasn't able to get mine to come loose. How would you replace the tube in that case? :unsure:

So last night I shaved about 20 bucks off of my weekly budgeted grocery expense, which = 2 more GS Air tanks. :banana:
And spent 15 dollars less than my normal budgeted amount for gas, which = 1 more pack of GS Air coils, and I'm STILL under budget! Go Lost! Go Lost!
Placed my order with Sweet-vapes this a.m.! Can't wait to get the new tanks and load them up with my different juices. I already ordered my ADV in a lower nicotine level. :D

I had shattered the glass on one of my tanks when I first got it...
I posted a couple of pics earlier in the thread showing how the top is threaded onto the tube,
but has some kind of sealant or adhesive in the threads. I don't think there is much hope
of finding replacement glass though.

Just got a GS Air today. Great flavor. The airflow is on the tight side even with the screw removed, but it's great for mouth to lung hits. Probably a great starter tank for someone getting off cigs. The only thing I don't like is the slight airflow whistle, but that's nitpicking. Easily worth the 10 bucks.

All those tanks with AFC are noisy. The more air flows through the device, the noisier it gets. I think Delta II is the noisiest of them all. :lol:

And here I thought my days of mac n' cheese / ramien were over ...
That sounds like me!

Mine, too... perfect out of the box. And call me krazy (yeah yeah yeah), but I LIKE the noise.

Perfect also for someone going on 5 years of vaping. ;) :D
