Alden,

The GS-Air series of tanks (GS-Air, GS-Air-M, and GS-Air-MS)are almost shockingly good for how inexpensive they are. Both use the same replaceable heads, but that's where they don't meet your criteria. While the heads can be rebuilt, they're very small, so the tolerance margin-of-error for rebuilding them is really tight. In addition, they're fiddly to rebuild, requiring a small sheet of medical gauze to cover the juice intake holes. If you're a rebuilding wizard, then OK, but for the rest of us, nah. I've been rebuilding heads for years, but after watching a YouTube vid about rebuilding the GS-Air heads, I took an old one apart and decided against even trying to rebuild it.

My personal recommendation would be a Taifun GT-T V2 RTA frankenclone from FastTech. You'd need to order two parts---the base/chimney and the clear acrylic tank:

Taifun GT-T V2 base/chimney
acrylic tank for Taifun GT-T V2

Total cost is $9.45 shipped. You'll also need a drip tip.

The Taifun GT-T V2 is a single-coil, bottom-fed RTA that's easy to build, very forgiving, and provides wonderful flavor and vapor production. Doesn't use vacuum-feed like Kayfuns and many others, so no "juice channels" to worry about when wicking. Has both adjustable air intake AND adjustable juice flow to the coil, but neither adjustment is fiddly. Just build a simple 5/64" (2mm) or 3/32" (3mm) coil---spaced or micro---anywhere from 0.5 ohm to 1.5 ohm, wick with cotton or rayon, and vape. Perfect for MTL (mouth-to-lung) vapers, holds 4ml or juice, isn't a juice hog, never gives a dry hit, doesn't leak, and refilling is a snap (just turn it over, unscrew the tank from the base, and fill the tank---no syringes required). Just watch a single Taifun V2 build video on YouTube, and you'll be good to go.

Holy Crap , that is mind boggling .

These are cloned parts of the new TF GT v2? Hmmm... I've never been a big fan of the Taifun as I like to vape my tank dry and tend to like a little more air. For less than $10 however, this seems like a great way to test drive the GT v2. Thanks, Bill!

alden,

Yeah, the Taifun GT-T V2 isn't especially airy, even with the dual-slot adjustable air flow, at least not compared to all the tanks with huge air intake. I run all mine completely open, and the draw is ideal for mouth-to-lung. It's airier than Kayfuns, but that's not saying much, if anything. My Orchids are a lot airier. With low enough nic, direct lung hits are possible, but the Taifun isn't really designed for that. My built-from-parts el cheapo clone Taifuns have good vapor production for an MTL tank (with terrific flavor and moist, full vapor), but serious cloud chasers would just scoff and walk away.

If you like to vape your tanks dry, my Franken-Taifun probably isn't for you, as the wicks are about 1/4 up from the bottom of the tank. I'm at the other end of the curve---I tend to keep my tanks full, topping them up when they get 1/4 down. One man's ceiling...

This is the best $22 I've ever spent...I just ordered another one!

 

[BNEAT]

Just wondering...is it MEAN like the original full-sized 20W...or RMS like the 30W and 50W?

Best I can tell it must be MEAN, because it sure feels hotter than the 2 (high-end) devices I compared it with. It feels hotter than my original iStick 20w, too!...but that could be because it's all new and shiny!

Hi Lynn. Don't know if Neat's here right now. I believe Neat is talking about the mini 20 w iStick. Tootle Puffers dream.

both pictures show the same mini 20 watt!

 

[LynnNC]

Tibs and IMRs, you're right in that both pictures show the mini 20W, but they also show attys as well. But ok...no problem! Thanks for the replies!!
