So, I've been messing with this thing all day (as soon as the mail lady came at 12:30 that was about it for my work day
) and like a lot of the guys that have the pre-releases it was dry hit city, in fact that was all I was getting...now that could be the way I vape, one of my buddies vapes like an old lady drinks tea and another buddy fills his smoktech mega's till it's pouring out the bottom, cranks the vv up to 5.5v and blasts away.
I finally got it vaping fairly good,
1. It's a much cooler vape than what I'm used to, there's a lot of real estate, especially in the 5ml config for the vape to cool
2. You have to get rid of the hdpe bushing where the wick goes through the mid section, I then I bored out the wick hole with a 3/32" drill bit, I also got rid of the lower bushing in the bottom section.
3. I made my wick out of a 13mm x 30mm piece of 320 ss mesh (seems to recover way faster than the 400) and rolled it around a 3/64" drill bit, I then just tempered/sugared/sooted the whole thing.
4. I wrapped my coil around the 3/32" bit, put in in place, tested it then slide the wick in, primed it, slid the mid section on, snipped the wick on a slight angle about 1/4" up, loaded the tank and put it together.
5. Now I read this part on here and wondered wth! but...before you take a toot, blow into it, it's cool, this little jet of vape comes out of the air hole
but I watched why it works with the recon tank on...as someone figured out, it seems the wick vapour locks with air bubbles and stops the juice flow, when you blow, it shoots the bubbles up into the tank which allows the juice in...see kids, the laws of fluid dynamics are fun
At any rate, I can "almost" chain vape this thing with this set up, to compare I have the same juice in:
1. 2.3 ohm Joye atty (dripping, de-bridged/de-wicked) on my Provari @ 4.5v
2. 1.8 ohm coil on my SGV3 @3.7v
3. 1.5 ohm helical dual coil set up in my Ody @ 3.7v
4. 2.0 ohm coil on the GTUS @ 3.7v
my results (and this is obviously a very personal opinion) from best to worse
Taste: 3 - 4 - 1 - 2
TH: 2 - 1 - 3 - 4
Ease of refill: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Ease of full rebuild: 4 - 2 - 3
Now these ratings may change with how the GTUS works with different juices, etc...it's no Ody but considering it's half the price (or if you check what some guys on the classies are asking for them, a 1/4 the price
) it's a nice piece of gear. The "set up" learning curve is a little steep at first but so is every re-buildable, I think there is a lot more tweakablity with the GTUS and I can't wait till you all get yours so that the modding fun can really begin, over all, I'm pretty happy so far.
