G-Tank-US-CO-OP Support Thread - Part 2

[Robert T]

Ed, mine was a tight draw also, so I took a syringe needle(green) and probed all the air holes and found burs in all of them especially the one directed at the coil. Cleaned those out good and the draw was airy and no more burnt taste. I can hold the button down for one of those long hits with amazing vapor and taste. That and making sure the hole is lined up between the post makes all the difference. Assuming you have the wick and coil right which I'm sure you do.

ETA I'm using the T-tank also and if the draw was any looser I wouldn't like it!

The two i have built so far have a bit of a tight draw. When I set them up with the T-tank it was a really tight draw and was a large contributor to my burnt taste. A quick solution was to pop the baffles out of the top of the T-tank to allow un-restricted air flow. Draw is still a little tight so I am going to enlarge the air hole on at least one by just a hair to open up the draw a little. I also plan on widening the top baffle on the T-tank and possibly adding 2 more holes to it.

I agree, any GTUS that has a tight draw should be checked by probing all the air holes with a syrings to ensure there are no machine burs left behind obstructing the air flow. Increasing the air inlet hole on the side does no good if the 4 holes by the wick are blocked.

I'm feeling like a kid waiting on Christmas morning. Patiently waiting to turn green on the list. The suspense is killing me. Lol. Now that I see these being shipped I'm even more excited to be getting my first tank of this kind!! I have iattys and rebuildable stuff but they all take fiber wick. I really can't wait to see how much different the SS wick is!! Thanks again Dan for all your time with this!!!

 

[scope]

Just received mine here in the UK, many many thanks dan! With the hurdles you've had and juggling daily life I just don't know how the hell you've managed to keep sane! There must be a very forgiving woman somewhere lol Take my hat off to you! cheers dan!

 

[Airborn3]

Thanks for everything you have put up with and are going through Dan. All your hard work is appreciated.

I'm just hoping to have mine in time for Vapestock.

 

[Scubabatdan]

Not a problem. Hope y'all had fun.

 

[Digisatman]

Just letting you know, I've received mine in the UK, Nice one Dan

 

[Mudflap]

Mine arrived today! I reamed out all of the air holes with a straightened paper clip and noticed a good bit of debris got pushed out. I'm currently soaking everything in hot water and dish detergent as previously advised.

I look forward to my first wick/coil build later tonight!

Thanks, Dan!

 

[chuckie]

Just a final thanks Dan.I got my tank today.I put an old wick from the original G-tank in it,wrapped it and it's working perfectly with the small tank on it.I do appreciate all your efforts and the design improvments you made.One more time THANK YOU!!!!
btw ..What did you use to tighten the connector to the unit I've broken 2 pairs of pliers trying to get it loose

LOL, just needle nose plyers by hand.

[Digisatman]

lol, well the wave washers are a much cheaper solution than a threaded drip tip

I just cut a hot spring in half, does the same job

Hey Fug - I'm with you, waiting to turn green - no worries you will love the mesh - flavor is waaay diff then other rebuildables.

Thanks again Dan for doing this.

35mm x 35mm rolled wicks are fitting thru that hole w/out the PTFE spacer? Seriously?

 

[Killjoy1]

Yes I had trouble with 35mm on the first try, I just wasn't rolling tight enough. That dimension seems to be working perfect for me right now with no PTFE spacer

 

[goat29]

just make sure you are using #400 mesh, its makes a differance

 

[Quigsworth]

All the difference ...I don't think you could ever get 320 that tight.

 

[Desert Rat]

You can get 325 mesh 35mmX35mm to work just have to roll tight I found 30mm X35mm works best never used 400 mesh on anything been running genisis since raidy first introduced them. Have 40 square feet of 325 from a silkscreen shop.
