I have probably wasted enough juice to last me the rest of the year on my AVS, one day it works perfectly the next three cant get the damn thing to work at all(leaking, flooding atomizer). I've cleaned it, changed all the o-rings, and toyed with every control ring position possible, very difficult to get consistency out of this thing!! For the money spent it should work better without all the toying i have to do, i don't have time to mess with this thing everyday and it seems as soon as i leave the house it just starts leaking... I have been vaping for almost 2 yrs. and using GG products for the last yr., Im probably a thousand dollars into this device(attys etc.) and still go back to dripping... I'm frustrated with it because of money spent, I feel like the cost of this thing it should work properly all the time!!! Like i said sometimes it does work flawlessly but most of the time i feel im cleaning, tightening, loosening, changing atomizer(realize made in china), changing juice, etc. Guess i should just sell this thing (AVS&AFS)and go back to dripping.. Love your products Imeo but for money invested it's more frustrating than its worth IMO. Vape on

where does it say its made in China bro ???
I always thought Imeo makes them in Greece...
But I agree with you on the leaking AVS but my AFSv2 works near perfect ( except the AVS just gives me better flavor). The Avs for me is consistent, in performance the collector tank does what it suppose to do and since I vape at work and dont bring any other bottles with me ... I end up wasting / throwing the juice in the collector tank away; when I'm at work ... but supposedly the danco oring will fix this ... I'm hoping it does.
And for what you've spent ... its worth trying to figure it out ... I think its different for everyone, like for example...
Some people say their afsv2 is leaking like crazy but for some reason mine doesnt leak... And my AVS keeps emptying the juice into the collector tank when its half full but not when it full... Other people dont have this issue with their AVS... There has to be something else coming into play here... Maybe its the orings and fitment of the orings. Those arent made by Imeo.
Dont get me wrong , the AVS emptying into the collector tank issues hasnt detiered me from vaping on mine. And I still love my GGTS with the AVS enough to buy another one and I have 3 already. So, I'm hoping to have this issue fix with the danco orings ...
Hi rockstarr .. I am sure that you are doing something wrong ... Did you check the collector tank ? If it has juice inside then the performance drops and the vapor production is not good ... I realize that with mine AVS after some days of use ...
Try a Nebula Turbo carto with a hole punched/drilled 6mm-8mm from the base of it in your AVS, you'll get great flavor, even more juice capacity and more vapor with 0 leaking, your collector tank will be completely dry.
thats another thing I'm trying out as well... I have a bunch of mega cartos coming ...

Hey Ripp, i was saying that i realize the atomizers are made in China not GG, I do believe they are a big part of the problem, back when the iattys were a little harder to get i ordered around 20 of them, some attys dont give me any problem others i have nothing but flooding or not getting juice into them at all.. The holes that are drilled into them appear to be inconsistent(some bigger some smaller). These damn things are not cheap either, i bought them when we HAD to have them.. I do love the boge carts with adjustable draw and haven't tried drilling holes in them for AVS, not sure how as i don't have a vice..? Back to the AVS if i am doing something wrong it beats me cause like i said one day its perfect the next i want to throw it(usually it starts leaking as soon as i leave the house). Do you guys think air temp. makes a difference? I just cant trust it to be the only thing i take with me when i leave the house, i have an original slim, new slim, original TS and new TS, so i always bring the little guy with me but then i have to carry juice and batts. just wish i could leave with my TS and AVS and be good to go.
Thanks everyone also for your support and reply's, I do love my GGs, Tim i have been using AFS and AVS both since they first came out.. how longs the learning curve? maybe i just dont get it??? Thanks for your support though buddy!!
rockstarr,
I did not know ya have been using them that long, I thought you were new to GG products, I have been using AFS line for bout a year....and I rarely have issues...Small things, but I know what to do to correct it....
Now, What exactly in detail are you experiencing, and what have ya tried to do to fix it? Explain so we can help ya out...

Use k808d cartos, put a hole in the side 1.2mm or use a nail 8mm from bottom ,, prefill it ,. Insert into AVS, NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT ! MAKE A NOTE where the hole is on the outside of the chamber with a bit of tape etc , assemble the avs , blow through the mouth piece over a sink or floor etc and clear any excess juice out of the bottom put the AVS onto the GG open the control ring fully , hold with the hole pointing up with the GG/AVS tilted so the hole is out of the juice , it will gurggle a bit but just vape it off slowly after a few puff you will be vaping away you have now cleared the intial flood , if it gets dry turn unit so hole is down in the juice , you wont look back we hope ...
p.s As you can see from my avatar i dont need tape i can see my hole and juice level .

Rock, 1 question just to understand the issue. You said that AVS is leaking all the time. But you said to ggero that you had no liquid on the collector tank. I didnt understand the problem sorry
Rockstarr...not so much air pressure..but barometric pressure...I can be happily vaping on my AFSv2 all day while working outside in my shop(doors open)..and in the afternoon a front will come in..you can feel the change in pressure especially if you've been outside all day and all of a sudden the AFSv2 will spew juice out the CR holes. There is no other reason for this to happen other than the weather change. Once I've grabbed a towel and wiped it down, it's just fine once again and vapes normally with no leaks. I just have to watch out for the weather and make sure it's not in my pocket when this happens.
Imeo what i said is one day its perfect sometimes two, Most of the time its leaking through CR, yes thats true ive never had liquid in my collection tank. So my question is if its user error why one day it vapes great and the next it leaks?,without changing anything? Yes Imeo when it leaks its still not collecting in my tank..
Rockstar. To make a hole in a carto all you need is a hammer and a screw with a point. I've made holes using these on my desk. Carpet would be better... honestly, it's real easy compared to drilling.
AFS. If that leaking add some blue foam as pictured in the wiki.
AVS. I find it needs a strip down and good clean every 7 days. Put some vaso on the threads and o-rings. I obviously can't see what you are doing, but try tightening it different ways. Still can't get it, try a completely different sort of atty, maybe you have some dodgy ones. Cartos work very well in the AVS, only a tiny hole needed.

I dont know about the vaso, HoPeFuLLL
I tried it on the AVS and all the orings... And it was like sucking on the AVS with out the CR openned... Draw was just sooo freaking tight... It hurt my cheeks, LOL
Yeah, I have 2 AVS's and they act differently. I like it sealed but not too hard so can break the seal to bring juice in. Getting the vaso just right does this... too much and it is painful.
Thanks ripp and hopefull, ive got vaseline on my o-rings and it seems to not leak at first anyway... seems to work better after i clean and reassemble, didn't realize this had to be done so often.. Ripp im going to try with cartos ill post update later.. thanks guys
I think you should try the Danco #10 and Danco #78 oring upgrade... I will be doing the same tonight and reporting them here as soon as I get a couple of days with it ...
Guys it is really important (for the best performance) to clean the GG/AVS often ... Also to put some vasoline at threads (not to much...just to see difference exposed on the light).. I cleaned my hole unit 1 hour ago and the performance is like the first day
