Taifun GS Atomizer

[HauntedMyst]

Haven't seen a thread dedicated to these so I thought I'd start one.

I picked one of these. After watching Dampfmacher's video on it, I decided to give it a shot since I don't have a Spheroid type atty. From what I can tell, the GS is an updated version of the original Taifun where as the Taifun GT is more of a kayfun style atty. I built it with a 5/6 wrap of the included wire (which I think it 30 gauge) around 3 strands of the included silica which is 2mm, following along as I watched Dampfmachers video. The video is in German but his clear videos make it a breeze to follow along and gather what he is saying. The results are excellent. Vapes very nicely with great flavor. I highly recommend you buy the Dripping cap for it. It's only about $12 more and you can easily convert it into a great dripper easily. BTW, the unit does not come with the filler material. Instead, it comes with a cap that you can build two mini mesh wicks though you can use filler material if you have it. Watch the video and you'll understand what I mean.

Share your thoughts and experience!

Nice review. Unfortunately that seems to suffer from the same flaw that prevented me from buying the GT....it has a plastic tank. Unfortunately, a few of my juices would destroy it which is why I went with the Fogger V2 with the pyrex tank.

Otherwise it looks really nice. Hopefully one day they will start making pyrex versions.

Personally not much impressed by the TGS after watching the video but the drip tip is gorgeous. Thank you HauntedMyst.

BTW. Don't forget tomorrow they start another pre sale of TGT.

I got mine today. I also got the dripping cap and steel tank.

I have plenty of filler but I have 2 spheroids at the moment so I just did straight silica into the tank. Works great. It's a bit long but you can swap out the drip tip for a short to help that.

I actually have a couple of those drip tips and have been using them on the spheroid, they look good and the spheroid is much smaller to begin with.

The drip tip is not very expensive to buy separately (they drop vat when you log in with a US address) so I added a couple different ones when I order GT parts last.

Overall, it's a great atty just like the GT. I'll probably pull the tank and switch to the drip cap after a few more tanks. I do like drippers with the air flow under the coil.

Where are you seeing the Fogger V2 available?

Looks like its sold out everywhere for now.

Stick to the Fogger V2 discussion of the forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/461281-fogger-v2-wow.html

Right now it's selling out as fast as places can stock it. I have two coming that cleared customs yesterday. I have no idea if they will be good or not, but I know I don't want any plastic stuff due to the cinnamon related flavors that I like.

I had a fogger v2, I sold it this morning. It's good for the money, I just have a Taifun GT, I'd never use the fogger over it.

I have been going between this and my new SQuape the last three days. Nearly identical vapes in terms of draw and flavor though the draw is a little tighter on this. I bought the more open draw tube for it but haven't installed it yet. Both are nice and rich. I particularly like this one for on the go. It's perfect with an X6 or my 1300mah ego. I did run into its first glaring flaw when I tried it in dripper mode. It works great with the included drip tip but if you try to put another drip tip on it without a lip above the o-ring, you can push it through. Its a small thing but I like using straight drip tips for dripping and if you aren't careful, you can push them down onto the coil. It seems like an easy fix for them, just redesign the top to be a little deeper like the plexi top to have the drip tip hole with a base.

Other than that, a very nicely designed device.

Do any of you own a GS and regular Taifun? I'm wondering if the bottom piece is the same on both?

Sorry, found the answer to my question...no its not the same - but you can attach a Taifun cotton tank / ES to the GS.

 

[HauntedMyst]

But you don't need to spend the extra on the ES tank. The GS tank is set up for it. Just wrap the tank in filler and then don't use the middle insert.

 

[guruguhan]

That makes sense - I already had a cotton tank so was playing around to see if the parts were interchangeable

 

[HauntedMyst]

Nice, is the cotton bigger than the clear?

Just took them out and did a side-by-side, size wise, clear is in the middle between the Cotton Tank v2 (Left) and the ES Tank (Right).

Free-cigs has Foggers in stock as of now. Fogger

 

[HauntedMyst]

This has become one of my favorite atties. If the GS is as good as this, I can't imagine needing the Fogger.

This is news to me, I have a Taifun GT and had no idea it could convert into a dripper-this is what happens when you buy second hand and don't visit the original seller/vendor manufacturers website I'm quite interested in this GS model for my Itaste MVP as the Taifun GT looks bulky and over sized on there as does my Kayfun Lite + So a smaller design would be perfect. Got to love the vape quality from the GT hopefully the GS will produce the same results!

There is a Stainless Steel tank available for the GT-I am not sure whom sells it but I have definitely seen it on my travels thru various websites!

Little package, big performance.........as long as the battery holds out, about the same as an 18350.
Chi Sleek with Taifun GS around 0.9 ohm and Hcigar Taifun GS clone.
