GG AVS vs AFS v3

[pAth77]

As an intro, I'm not new to vaping, but I am new to the GG line. I've read a lot of great things about the GG products, and I feel as though I'm ready to take the next step. Unfortunately, the GGTS is out of stock at the moment, but eventually I'll get my hands on one. In the meantime, I've been trying to do my research, and I'm a bit confused on the differences between the AVS and the AFS v3. From the threads that I've read and the videos I've watched, I can't figure out how the two differ and which would be right for me. Can someone please explain it to me

Thanks in advance for everyone's help on this.

if you're buying a GGTS, then you'll want an AVS.

the difference is that the AVS is built for the GGTS, but the AFS V3 is built for all mods (currently all mods with a 901/808 adapter).

after you buy the GGTS and AVS, you can add on the "GG AVS to ALL MODS CAP" which will allow you to keep using your AVS on the GGTS, but then switch the bottom cap out and use it as an AFS V3 on any mod (currently all mods with a 901/808 adapter).

another way to think about it, the AFS V3 is the AVS with a bottom cap that works on all mods. but the AVS is just the tank, meant to connect to the collector tank of a GGTS. AFS V3 is tank plus collector tank plus universal cap, but AVS is just the tank (plus mouthpiece, adapter, o-rings, etc.) and utilizes the collector tank and atomizer bottom cap from the GGTS only. switching the caps out can make one into the otherm but if you buy the GGTS you don't want an AFS V3 because you already have a collector tank, you want an AVS to fit right into the existing collector tank, and then you'll add on the all mods cap later if you want to use the AVS on other mods too.

Thanks for clarifying that for me buGG. That makes complete sense. Since I currently don't have anything outside of the standard 510 and 808 line, it looks like all I'll need is the GGTS + AVS.

From my understanding, the GGTS can (right out of the box) utilize 510, 801, and 901/808 attys and cartos. The AVS can only use 510 attys. Do I have that right or can the AVS also use a 901 atty, and if so what would you (and others) recommend? Sorry for all these noob questions. I just wanna make sure that I do this all right the first time rather than going the trial and error route.

The Avs can use 901/808 (which I prefer over 510) and there a ways of making 801 work in the AVS also

you can use all atomizers/cartomizers to drip with right out the box on the GGTS. but inside the AVS you will need one of two available adapters, the 510 or the 901. the 901 used to come standard in the AVS, but as of late the 510 has been standard. it may be an issue of contacting the supplier and asking for one or the other, i'm not sure, but know that both do exist. there are threads here and elsewhere in the subforum that will show you how to use an 801 (or other penstyle) atty as well as 306s on the 510 adapter, and of course you can use both 901s and KR808s on the 901 adapter.

edit: as far as recommendations, i like both and probably use both equally. i would recommend trying both out if you can, or otherwise going with the one that utilizes the atty you most enjoy and/or have the most of to date...but then again, availability of the 901 adapter may end up making the decision for you.

It's nice to know that there's the option to use the various attys on the GG models. That's one of the reasons why I find them so appealing....that and the fact that aesthetically the GGTS is by far the best looking PV I've seen....then add to that the fact that their built quality appears to be outstanding.

@ B-Rad, if you don't mind me asking, why do you prefer the 901 over the 510? Are you using the standard, LR, or HV? I know that a lot of it is just a matter of personal preference. I remember hearing somewhere that the 901s have a bit more of an airy draw, which some like and others don't. Since I don't have any experience with 901 attys, I'll probably end up testing out all the combos once I get the GGTS. It's just nice hearing feedback from the more experienced users so I know what to expect....I just hope that they'll be in stock soon so that I won't have to wait too long.

EDIT: @ buGG, so does that mean that the current AVS is only fitted for 510, and the 901 adapter must be purchased separately (e.g. 510-to-901 adapter)?

 

[buGG]

both adapters may be available, i think much of it depends on what imeo is able to send the suppliers at any given time. originally it was only the 901, then users were able to purchase the 510 adapter for AVS as an add on, then the shipment after that only had 510 adapters and no 901s. but both should still be around, and hopefully both will be available when the next shipment of GG stuff, including the GGTS and AVS come in. you can use an aftermarket adapter like a 510-901 or 901-510 depending on which one you get initially, but it is definitely worth it to get the native 901 or the native 510 adapter for the AVS when they are available.

I just think there is better flavor in the 901 and that the 510 gets a slight burnt taste IMO the airyness I'm not sure of since the GGTS has an adjustable draw feature you can control it.

To answer the question towards Bugg the current AVS comes set for 510 use and the older ones came w/ 901 fitting it is a special fitting used and not so much of an adapter.

I vape 6v - 6.4v - 7.2v - 7.4v depending on the flavor of juice.

Thanks for all that info guys. I think I've got enough info to hold me down until the GGTS is back in stock.
