I usually brush/rinse/burn at about the same interval, but for me it's about 2 fill-ups/day. Of course this is the wife's Atty and she uses it exclusively. She now knows why I love Genisis attys so much :).

I have been thinking of trying stargazer from KBV but I don't know anyone who's tried it... I may just get a small bottle to try it out.

I have only had the bait-a sample.....and it was pretty good at the time. I never ordered any so maybe it wasn't good enough to be in my rotation....but it wasn't bad. Can't even remember what it tasted like now... :facepalm:

I hear that, lol, I have a hard time remembering the one's that don't really wow me too:)

I love KBV though. Good tasting and reasonably clean vaping for the level of flavor. Lots of choices too.

Hi all,I need some advice. I bought a cheap topedo kit so I could use an 18650 with my g-tank.If I put the batt in + side up I get nothing.If I reverse the batt.,the mod is on all the time, without pushing the switch. I then put the tank on my vv mod and it works perfectly. My guess is the switch. Do you guys have any opinions?

I've been quite pleased with mine, and even more so since I opened up the inlet to 1.5mm. I've noticed less condensation on the tank too. I didn't open the chamber for quite awhile and then was surprised to find a black ball of gunk on my coil, but it was still performing great. I cleaned it and checked again a week or so later, 2-3 tanks worth, and the same thing. Again about the same interval and once again:

Anyone else seeing similar symptoms?

I'm getting the same thing....just not quite that bad or that fast. The coils do eventually get caked up though. I have to uncoil it to get it off most of the time....so I just put a new one on when it gets bad. But mine usually lasts quite a while.

Yes, I have similar symptoms. It dependes of the juice I use in it, some juices build that gunk very fast (1 tank).

Playing with my G-Tank, no being happy with my last "S" wire solution, I found out another solution (a cleanest one), I installed a little spring (almost the same diameter) on the screw, over a little piece of plastic tube to avoid shorts. I reduced the top of the spring so it can enter on the ping when I screw the bottom cap in place, like this:

Need more heat. Just lower the resistance to about 1.4 or 1.5 ohms for 3.7 volt vaping or up the voltage. I'm running 1.7 ohms at 4.0v on a provari, works great and stays clean for a long time (more than a week at 1 - 2 tankfuls/day You'll get some more TH and the coil will stay cleaner for longer.

I've got a 2.4ohm coil on it now using my Provari and VV Infinity....running around 4.5V - 5V. It doesn't want to wick fast enough and I'm not getting much flavor at all. Im going to see if I can get a thicker wick in it....and not trim the cornr off this time.

Mine's been running at 4.7v @ 2.8Ω and I just turned it up and i just turned it up to 4.8. That blob isn't what I'd call caked, it is quite wet through and through, more like a custard. Even the kanthal was shiny silver underneath. I've been running lighter juices in it too, so I just switched to some coffee flavors since that won't seem to matter much.

Riddle, if you don't snip the corner at the top, it makes it more challenging to get through the hole. I don't think it would change the wicking any either.

I get little chunks on mine after about 4-5 days(2+ tanks a day).I was thinking it's the juice.An old standard atty that I took apart looked about the same.I'm using the tank on a madvape vv @ 4.1v w/4 1/2 wraps of .20 kanth.When unwound I can also brush the chunks off the kanthal and keep using it,although I usually just cut a new piece.
While we're on the subject,could someone tell me what the extra 1/2 in. tall silver threaded ring is used for?

Reoxidise your mesh and use it again , it lasts for ages, then clean mesh with a toothbrush while it is still rolled
Sturm said 18mm x32mm I use 18m x 25mm myself

Thanks eyebrook. I realize that there's some part of the SS mesh that got brittle when I clean it with a toothbrush. So now there's a small hole at the middle of the wick. Wick is 18mmx30mm. Is that normal?
