I think I will try those brake honers on the covers. Those threads going all the way up cause a lot of premature condensation.....

I think that may be the biggest cause of my taste issues. Once the condensation starts it multiplies on itself cooling the vape even more.

These pictures are after 30 minutes of vaping. I have ordered some shorter stones for my hone and plan to hone out the threads carefully using a drill press with upper and lower stops

Looks like they are sold out of the tanks. It won't let me select color...

Ok I have been playing around with the 5/8 x 3/4 poly tubing. Since the GTUS threads are 5/8, the tube will either slip on or have very little resistance when screwed on. Rather than have to heat and shrink the whole tube, I used a soldering iron with a small tip and at 3 points melted the poly tubing slightly so it caused a small bump. I did the first on the very bottom .010 from the edge, then the next .1" up, then the next .2" up so when you look down on it, it forms a triangle, but as you rotate the tube, each point is higher than the next. This worked perfectly, the top is secured and does not spin and screws on and off from point to point. Let me know if this make sense.

The condensation is inherent with the original G-Tank as well, even with the poly tubing and lots of space I still get condensation and it is a cooler vape. I think that is a natural occurrence, because the combustion is so far away from the mouth piece.

It is normale liquefaction phenomenon, we can not avoid it.

 

[BJ43]

I agree with you Dan on the condensation but feel that the threads increase the surface area and consequentially increase the condensation. As long as I am careful to not hurt the threads that are used, it should not do any harm to remove the useless ones.

And that cooler vape is my only complaint. But I am used to CE2s with the coil practically in my mouth. I love the idea of mesh wick attys. I should have a zenesis standard next month. It has the coil on top of the tank. I hope this produces the warmer vape that the GTUS lacks.

The GTUS is great and i will keep vaping it. But that perfect vape that I am chasing is a bit warmer.

Well, I have all but retired my Scubagen V3 dual coils in preference to the Gtank US. I can vape them at 3.7- 6.4 volts with absolute enjoyment. Tons of vapor and flavor. Yes the condensation is somewhat of an issue but that was expected. I swab the outer tube thrice routinely throughout out the day with clean-ex or a paper towel. I love the smaller tanks (3 & 5 mil) as compared to the 8 mil tank on the V3. If anyone decides they want to sell their Gtank US... just let me know. I doubt that I will ever sell the V3s either... but for now I am absolutely hooked on the GTank!

 

[Murdock Ruml]

Sorry not planning on selling. Waiting for the t tank top. Might get a warmer vape with that.

Ditto.... I am still looking for a place to buy the B tanks. MyVape is out of stock..

The drip tip will definitely give a warmer vape.

 

[Murdock Ruml]

True, but I am trying to get away from having to Carry extra juice with me. Would be great for my home vape though.

Just tried the drip tip for the first time and it is great, now to Bonut it so I can reduce the dripping interval to every 30 minutes.

Glad you liked the Scubagens. They were above my skill level.

Cignot has caps (https://www.cignot.com/product_p/egt-sil-cpb.htm) and tanks (https://www.cignot.com/product_p/egt-tbk-all.htm).

Has anyone used the tank config on the GTUS yet? I'm thinking there should be less of a condensation issue with these. I switch flavors a lot too, so I'm really looking forward to these.

 

[Murdock Ruml]

We all are still waiting for the T-Tank tops. They had to be shipped to be reworked.

 

[Scubabatdan]
