Eleaf GS Air Fan

[GranFumador]

I've really come to appreciate Sweet-Vapes a lot. Great prices every day. Maybe not the absolute lowest you can find on every item. But sometimes staying on top of that can be too much work. Easy one-stop shopping and I always get my packages in two days.

Anyone ever try their juice?

Funny you should ask. Once I swallowed my minor indignation about the extra two bucks per GS Air M (the shipping charge mess they so kindly fixed without me asking...) I figured there would be loads of extra cubic inches of bubble wrap in the box, so I ordered a bottle of juice. I'll report on that when the tanks arrive...probably next Monday.

I won't say which flavor it is, but I can assure you it is not mutant eggplant.

I do not recall reading anything in this thread about this kind of problem - but that's a lot of pages and I'm sure I missed things.
The coils that went were the ones that came with the tank.

One replaced coil has been fine for 1 day and I just replaced the coil in the 2nd tank.
One of the reasons I wanted to try the Air was because many talked about how long a coil would last and I am getting very lazy about changing/rebuilding coils.

Any thoughts as to what the problem might be?
Hopefully the new coils will work better.

My experience has been similar, though not so extreme. I got 3 tanks, use clear or nearly clear juice. The three original coils only lasted 5-7 days. The replacements, with slightly shorter chimnies, or nipples, or whatever you call the protrusions on top, have been going nearly three weeks with no degradation in vapor or flavor. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing eleaf fixed a quality issue with the coils included wih the clearos.

Well the 2nd tank with the replaced coil is working fine now so it was definitely a coil problem.
I hope the new coils work for a week or more.
If they do then I will order more coils from fasttech - I think someone said those were fine and a few more tanks. I'm one of those that likes a dedicated tank for a favorite flavor.

I did save the bad coils in case I try to rebuild them. Lately rebuilding is feeling more like a chore than a hobby and I don't like chores. That is a big reason I decided to try the Airs - along with good flavor, of course. I do like the flavor out of the Airs.

I do get some gurgling at times, even with the replacement coils. I just take the coil out and blow through the connector end to get the excess juice out. I also find that slow draws helps reduce the gurgling when it happens which isnt all that often. Works for me.

I have a question about wire gauge I bought a dripper and the pre made coils it came with are really thin. I want to get a thicker wire what gauge should I buy??

 

[tiburonfirst]

joey, if you're in no hurry i got plenty of 32ga kanthal i can stick in an envelope next week

 

[Cheechako]

Wish I'd of known Joey, woulda stuck some 28 gauge in the package.

I see this problem mentioned with thinner juices, how do you think it gets too much juice inside the coil?
It seems to be mentioned mainly in conjunction with the tank supplied coils...I vape pretty thick juice, so never
had this problem.

28 g I have I am thinking the coil they sent with this might be 24g. I got horrible hits with it I almost threw it in the garbage lmao. This is the dripper I got Tobh Atty Rebuildable 510 RDA RBA Copper Black Stainless Steel Gold | eBay

 

[Cheechako]

You got me? I only have one dripper and it sits gathering dust as I couldn't get it to work to my satisfaction.
There are a ton of folks on here that can give yo the ABC's of it though!

 

[JoeyC]

Higher # thicker gauge is that correct??

My juice is 65-80% vg so its definitely not too thin. It only happens from time to time. I really cant explain it.

Lower number thicker gauge, 28 gauge is thicker than 32 gauge, yeah, I know, counter intuitive.

The negative posts I have seen is in regards to the "spitting and popping" and flooding with low vapor production.
Oh well.

 

[JoeyC]

Ok so than these have to be 32g and to much of a pain so will look around for 24g. Thanks Cheech and thanks Tibs

 

[Oregon Linda]

Cheech, did you get a chance to order some M's?

 

[Cheechako]

Cheech, did you get a chance to order some M's?

Thank you for asking! You are so sweet!
YES! In my euphoria I forgot to mention it!
Ordered two and some other junk...

I get alot of popping and slight droplet spitting with leaking out the connector end. I consider it normal at this point and doesnt bother me as much anymore. The vapor is still good even while popping.

I did get one dud replacement coil (today). It read at 1.4 and got dry hits higher than 8w and if I didnt wait a minute or so between draws.

Overall, I like the tanks. Has less issues than the nautilus mini. Flavor is slightly better in the nautilus but its much more "finicky" and the bvc coils dont last as long as the Air coils

Save your coils and if you don't rebuild, I'll rebuild for you.
It improves an already great tank.
