So far, so good, no leaking, wicking perfectly, air flow has a good range from off, to a slightly restricted lung hit. well made, threading is good, fit & finish is very good, arrived clean. First build 6 wrap 28g 2.5mm, not much room to spair, excellent flavor, no logos.

It is a small deck, but sufficient, just fill the 2.5mm id coil with cotton or Rayon like any other 2.5mm build, fits fine. A little trimming on the tails, done. Simple build, 5 tanks through my initial wick, not a drop leaked, no flooding, not even a slight gurgle.

This tank has made its way into my daily rotation.

2.5mm 26g not enough room really for anything above .6, maybe .7 ohms
2.5mm 28g seems better suited for this atomizer.

Don't really like going any higher resistance then maybe 1.3 Probably try some TC builds down the road.

I just ordered two. I had a horrible time with two Chalice clones I ordered from FT. Ruined two Reo springs and got thrown in the trash. (The Chalices, not the Reo! LOL!) I hope these fair better. I've always liked the look of this tank and as a Tootle Puffer it seems like it'll be awesome!

Now to wait 6 months for them to get here! LOL!

I didn't have any issues with the chalice clones I got from FT, one of each version, still use them both occasionally. Not really sure why, but most times I luck out on my purchases, even when others seem to have a .... load of issues.

The gem I received is nearly flawless, still has not leaked a drop, fit & finish are exceptional. The only negative comment I can make is the 510 pin could have been maybe 1mm longer, it is not to short to work, but does become a slight bit unstable when it is turned out. It also tends to catch when screwing it onto mods, was a simply fix for stability, and to prevent it turning in I just added a couple small o-rings to it.

22mm ring? my 510 pin is fine, they do include two, one for hybrid mode, and to use in the dry burn base. Are you referring to the fill hole o-ring?
Maybe we have bought from different sources. I've got mine from gearbest. I am aware of the two different pins and used the right one. As well 22mm beauty ring is not usable due to faulty manufacturing, my only option is 21mm. The o-ring I was referring at my last message was the middle one on top of chimney between fill holes. I am not aware of gearbest return policy. As of now, no relpy to the ticket I opened. If fasttech's Gem gets good reviews I will buy from fasttech and use this one as spare parts.

The B version from FT is different then the one Gearbest sells, the first listing from FT is same as Gearbest, and the same one you & I both have. Mine does not have any sort of o-ring on the chimney either, and it works fine, I've had no leaks. my 22mm ring is just fine, is your threading messed up? I noticed it is quite fine threaded and takes a little fiddling to get it started.

As for the 510 pin, mine could due to be a little longer, but it works fine, I added a couple o-rings on it to stabilize, and prevent it from turning in when screwing it on a mod.

Good luck on tickets with gearbest, my last experience with customer service was about 3 weeks to even answer, then a few weeks between each response.
