OMG, how can you tease me like this. I don't even own any 23mm mods but i went ahead and purchased the Taifun GT-S (with nano kit of course) from FT in anticipation of the Zero clone. I knew that setup was going to look really good and from your pic it sure doesn't disappoint.

If anyone is wondering, the Taifun GT-S on FT is really nice. The AFC ring is snug, not as snug as the Rose but snug enough that it stays put when you adjust it. The airflow tube on the deck is in fact 2mm. I haven't built it yet but i did draw on it empty and the increased flow is nice. Threading is good and the red o-rings are much better than the cheap stuff that usually comes on clones.

I´ve been having trouble with the firing button on my Robbot DNA, it´s been working really weird and now I have to press really hard for it to fire. Anyone else experiencing this?

Just be careful. My hana clone blew up because the fire button stuck. It was scary. Vape spewing out the airholes of my kayfun until I got it off. Then I had to get the battery out as fast as I could. So much for the 10 second cutoff.

ZNA? Doesn't it have a friction pin on the firing button? If you have a punch and small hammer, try taking it out and putting back in.

But then we wouldn't have RoxyMods :D

It is not sticking, it´s like it doesn´t make contact or doesn´t get pressed enough.

I have taken the pin out, but it hasn´t helped. The firing button is flat on the back; so my only guess is that either the whole board has moved back some, or the button on the board itself it´s faulty.

FT has a white Doge, white Omega, and white Plume. Probably some more as well.
That was it, I've seen a white Plumeveil a few places. But those are all drippers. Only white tank was the Sat 22. Of course I could try my purple Fogger V4 on it. :)

I've been thinking of the Group Buy one, but only if I can upgrade the switch. What would be a good switch to put in there? I'm pretty good at soldering onto connectors, but I completely suck at circuit boards, so it would have to be a simple pull-the old-one/attach-the-new-one kind of thing (same number of soldering points on the switch). Any of the anti-vandal ones, maybe?

There's the DNA35, but the dang switch they put into that one is just WAY too big. Cutout's probably too big for a smaller switch too. Too bad. And I'm still keeping both my kidneys, so the nicer VV/VW mods are out. :laugh: Plus, I'm just looking for something to park my KFL on, so nothing fancy.

I had to exchange my first one for just this reason.

Has anyone else received a shipping confirmation via email from FC?? :ohmy: Doris never mentioned any updates to the system, but this was in my inbox today .. you might get a giggle from some of the spelling errors. :laugh: I sent Doris a skype to see whats up with this, but of course she is not there now.

Vapor Flask V2 :drool: can't wait. I hope who ever makes it does it justice :)

We will see hun .. I am trying to get a sample now, so we'll see. I saw some promo pics and it showed a V2 bottom, but when I contacted the unnamed manufacturer they said that the V2 won't be ready for another week. So I will keep you all posted ..

Make sure that your top cap is screwed on all the way. When I first got mine, every other day I would seem to have to press the firing switch extra hard, but then I realized that my cap had unscrewed by just a hair, less than a 1/4 turn. Since realizing that I haven't had any issues since.

So check that first .. if the issue is not resolved by that then I would contact CS :)

Tihihihiiiii .. This set up has reignited my love the Taifun because it does look so sexy with the Zero :wub: Its crazy how the Taifun is still as tall as your average RBA even in nano made :p I am thinking about getting another one, so I need to take a closer look at the GT-S because I saw them, but didn't really look it over. :)

More Zero porn coming later, I received my sleeves today :) Although the black sleeve is no quite what I was expecting :unsure: Pics will explain ...
