Sweet-Vapes Vapemail a minute ago. GS Air & xtra coils. I'll report back.
Welp, I just filled this thing to try it out and WOWWWWWWWWWW... I can taste flavor.. nothin' but! No complaints so far.

I guess my isticks and GS-Airs started messing around, and this is what happened:
View attachment 424178
They had a baby!!! Baby istick and baby GS-tank!
(Actually, I adopted the GS-16S in a recent co-op)
Now that is just TOO adorbs! Love it, coffee!
...........................that's BLS from now on
Was it? Did ya? Shall we?
Worth repeating. I have been known to kiss all my mods and put them to bed for the nite by either turning them off, or removing the batts. Lately, I've added in the habit of loosening the toppers, too.
In the case of our 'Sticks, perhaps the most prudent option WOULD be to remove the topper before leaving them alone.
Thoughts?
I've had no issues with either of my 30Ws or my 50W isticks. At least 1 of the 30W and the 50W were from debut batches.
Since both units are more similar than not to each other, I find it strange that no one has reported auto firing 30W devices.I'm not trying to discount anyone's experiences, but just making an observation.
And I have had an Aqua V2 clone leak from the 510 connection onto the isticks, both 30W and 50W, but no strange behavior from the device.

It NEEDS to be damaged! It's like some double phillips head from hell!
8-o
OK I SEE LoL
Only two main differences, battery size and chip set. Kinda making most people think it is indeed chipset related, even if it is the fact that juice is able to get to the chipset of the 50 and not the 30.
I hate anything leaking that is not supposed to... I had pondered the sub tank mini once and I am glad I didn't pick one up.
That and the juice/air bubbles between the glass and the frame would drive me crazy...
My subtanks are growing on me, they are very fragile tankwise and airy but man are they easy to build either the RBA or even the disposable coil heads.
Hey Mud,
I have spent a lot of time pondering the Subtank mini and Delta II as an RTA with a coil head/RBA deck to get as my next tank. I really like the design of the build deck on the Subtanks and the Delta has the KF3.1 style wire holes. Then a friend let me try out his Lemo and Goblin, well those brought the pondering of the other two to an end. Both are very airy with a ton of flavor and no coil heads. The Goblin is a dual coil build only and the chimney is very close to the glass. So max VG juice moves very slowly between it which could possibly cause flow problems. The Lemo on the other hand, worked great but had this "I'm made out of Tin" type feel to me, which is not a deal breaker but the little thing that keep ones OCD active.
I was expecting my Origenny yesterday but it will be next week now, and those FEV's are really looking like a great atty. I know both will leak if turned upside down or on their sides, but knowing this ahead of time shouldn't cause any surprises with use...
I really want a Silverplay, but VaporDNA is always out of stock on the very rare occasion I have had the spare cash to get one and vape gear does not have a high WAF in my world.
Enjoy your Subtanks good sir and thanks for the info.

I have a delta II due in Mon from a co-op to compare. But even though the subtank is slowly growing on me, my all time fav so far is still the innokin iClear X.I the only draw back to them is the learning curve to rebuild the tiny little dual coil heads.
Before I go fiddling around with this, I'd like to ask how I adjust the draw on the GS? I turned it to the right a tad and didn't see a difference. I'd just like to have the draw just a little bit tighter. Thanks.

Turn it a tad more............

If you want max air....take the screw out.....
I like it that way, some may not.......

The only problem with them from videos and what I read is that they whistle loudly unless the AFC is wide open.
@IMRs. I adjust mine in 1/4 turn increments until I get the draw right for different juices. Some thicker juices I vape at higher power and open the airflow. I'm a bit concerned about exceeding the boiling point too long from taking longer hotter draws and letting the coil heat up before hittin it. I'm either gonna thin the juice or quit vapin it. This is where temperature limiting capability would be good. A little TLC Kat's got me thinkin Acks about everything

I like both my two Atlantis clones and Subtank clones (Mini and Nano). The Atlantis heads are a little tricky to rebuild with that outer sheet of wicking material, but the Kanger heads are a snap to rebuild. I actually prefer rebuilding the Kanger heads to using the RBA deck of the Mini.
That said, I still use and like my various clone RDAs/RTAs. While the Erlkonigins have fallen off my radar somewhat---the ragged draw bothers me---I continue to enjoy my old standard PMMA Kayfun Lites, and I'm digging' the heck out of two Orchid V6s and two Taifun V2s. The Orchids do that dual-coil, higher-wattage thing brilliantly, and the Taifuns, while monsters in size and weight, are great single-coil RTAs. I've got acrylic semi-nano tanks coming to make the Taifuns smaller and lighter.
When I feel like dripping, which really when I don't mind some messiness and leaking, Magmas and Origen V2s are just what the doctor ordered. For intense flavor, they're hard to beat, and I love their deep wells. I also have a Derringer and Dark Horse that I haven't tried yet.
I get it that many of the newer tanks---Arctic, Herakles, Lemo, etc.---and the competing RTAs---Goblin, Silverplay, etc.---are aimed squarely at the low sub-ohm, high-wattage cloud chasers, and that's fine. With the higher prices and profit margins on those tanks and heads, no wonder the Chinese have gone ga-ga cranking them out. I remain a flavor chaser, vaping mouth-to-lung 95% of the time, although I've come to appreciate airier draws more than one might assume. The standard wisdom that a tighter draw equals more flavor while a looser draw equals more vapor may be true, but my airier Orchids seem to provide flavor that's just as good as my tighter Kayfuns. I build and rebuild mostly in the 0.5-1.3 ohm coil range and haven't felt a need to go beyond 30 watts yet.
All this hardware is so good that even my bottom-feeder REOs and Phids are getting less vape time, despite the fact that they're all outfitted with small-chamber RDAs. They're still good vapes, but the regulated boxes and RTAs are just so darn great that I find myself reaching for them more often than any of my older hardware setups (of which I have enough to open a vaping museum).
I try to imagine what it must be like to be a brand-new vapor, perhaps someone still trying to quit smoking, and have a Sigelei 150W mod and an Arctic tank as a first vaping set-up. Is that an advantage or a curse? I really don't know, but vaping has sure changed since I started in 2010. All I can say is thank heaven for DIY juice-making.

That will be a deal killer! My wife hates whistling atties! To be honest I am not to fond of them either, if some surgery can't remedy it will be piffed shortly.

Turning the stereo up will remedy this.

Yeah but walking in the mall, I get slapped enough for whistling at pretty women. Heck I hate getting slapped when I wasn't even intending to be whistling.
Thanks Linda for convincing me. It is pretty nice. The only minor complaint is a lot of my drip tips float around on it. I will have to get some larger o rings for a couple of them.

ACK ACK ACK. It's GOOD to think in Acks, Bikerz!
Speaking of which, Troll.... you used a few. Are they on the list? I do recall seeing "FEV" but not for one minute can I remember what that is.
