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!
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.
