Lynn,
No, it's not an RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer); it's an RTA (rebuildable tank atomizer). By "bottom fed," I meant that the coil is built onto the base (which forms the bottom of the device), then the tank section screws onto that base and sits on top, so that eliquid is gravity-fed to the wicks and coil. I guess "top-fed" would be a more accurate description. Sorry if I inadvertently mangled the standard terminology. I own five REOs, so I should have known better. LOL.
The Subtank mini rba is spectacular! Easiest thing to build & the flavor rocks! My Lemo 2 is awesome as well!
Get two Lemo 2's and skip the subtank mini...you'll thank me twice.....
I threw all the Kanger subtanks out the window on interstate 10 on my way to San Diego......
I think the M is definitely a bit better than the GS Air
Happy Saturday! While taking a break from cutting the grass, I thought I'd ask my fellow iStickers a coupla questions. Looking for an inexpensive new clearo with easily rebuildable heads. Looks like the GS Air series is leading my search. I like the AFC on the M best. Can anyone tell me if the vape is noticeably different between the GS Air M and the MS (shorty)? For that matter, does the regular GS vape differently from the M/MS?
Thanks!
It has more air flow and provides more of a volume hit. But I like the AFC on the GSA best. Guess it depends on what level of a TP you are. But not so easy to rebuild. They are both surprisingly good tanks. The Lemo 2 as Inspects suggested is the one to buy for amazing flavor and ease of build. I still have an ST mini unopened in the box. I also like the Delta 2. It may be less likely to get broken but it's hard to see the juice level. and the rebuild head looks a little tight.A few questions--the regular Taifun is huge (which is why I didn't get it in the first place). But now I see that FT carries a nano tank:

and/or this:

But it's PC, and I prefer glass.
I wonder if that would work.
still pretty substantial, tweety
hop across the hall - i posted a pic today of a gt nano on top of the defender. there's been some chatting but it shouldn't be too far back
Got my attention! TY, Bill.
Katya,
What I love about my franken-Taifun V2s (well, they're not really "frankens," they're just regular Taifuns assembled from two separately-ordered parts), besides the fact that they're not finicky at all to build, is that they provide an astonishingly full vape using mouth-to-lung inhaling.
The recent crop (still increasing exponentially) of massive-airflow sub-ohm tanks that began with the Atlantis are quite something---good flavor and huge clouds of vapor---but they virtually demand direct-lung inhaling. I do some direct lung vaping, although I tend to slipstream when I do (meaning that I don't close my lips around the drip tip, but allow some outside air to be drawn in with the vapor during the inhale; my lungs are happier with that). I still use mouth-to-lung about half the time, however. Of all the single-coil atties/tanks I've bought and used (more even than I care to admit), the Taifun GT-T V2 gives the most satisfying vape ever for mouth-to-lung (in my experience). The flavor is outstanding, the vapor is moist and full in mouth-feel, and the sheer volume of vapor is quite surprising for mouth-to-lung inhaling. No, it won't produce the humongous clouds of my Starre tank or SilverPlay RTA, but I like the Taifun's flavor better, and mouth-to-lung is still my most comfortable method of vaping.
I vape my Taifun V2s using 0.7 ohm coils at 23 watts, but they can use single coils at pretty much whatever resistance pleases you---from about 0.5 ohms to 2 ohms---and they perform beautifully anywhere from 15 watts to 30 watts, so you don't need a 100-watt box to take full advantage.
I've read that the Rose V2 RTA is similar to the Taifun, but it's finicky as heck (or so I hear), and it's also a lot more expensive than my $10 assembled-from-parts Taifun V2s. Why pay more to get less?
Nobody tells me anything...still pretty substantial, tweety
On my way.
The Rose V2 does not have enough air flow for me. I have 2, one still new in the box after 5 months. Would like to be gone with them.
Oh, Bill. I can't (and really don't want to) lung inhale. I find it uncomfortable and I really don't want the risk of getting more (potentially) harmful substances into my lungs. I'm a diehard tootle puffer--single coil builds--28-29 AWG, 2-2.5 mm I.D. 1.3-1.8Ω, 6.5-14 watts (depending on the build), moderate air. I often don't even inhale at all--I just tootle puff.
I will never own a 100 W box.
Thanks for your help--as always!
Ahhh... I like it a lot! A lot!never mind - here it is
Is that a FT nano tank?
ETA--what's that atty in the middle?
With so many Taifun's to choose from on FT, I wish I would have seen this last week before I placed my order. I didn't know what version to try and that sounds perfect.
I will grab these next time for sure!
Thanks!
it's the ft nano kit - the atty in the middle is the gs 16s, still my favorite
Aha! That's the one GS I don't own.
So you didn't get the ss top cap, correct?
