I finally dig an o-ring overhaul on my fasttech GT with the AFC. No leaking overnight. I cannot, however, get the draw tube (mind is drawing a blank on terminology right now, I'm talking about the interior airflow tube between the posts, derp) out of this thing. I always remove those tubes but leave the bushing/plastic sleeve on my other TGT clones to open up the airflow. As it stands right now, the AFC is pretty useless. Which isn't a bad thing to me, since the draw on the TGT has always been good enough for me. I was kinda hoping to get a slightly more open draw though.

Oh well, no great loss.

A friend bought me one of those FT TGT s', the one with the red o-rings. My o-ring collection came in handy, had to replace the one under the sliding sleeve and the 17 x 1.5 mm under the tank top. All and all it's pretty good now. Still the "type A" is the one from them that I consider the best buy(whatever they call it now)
Also I made the air inlet on the AFC ring a bit larger as well as the largest air hole under it.The draw tube is 2 mm.

I finally bought a huge stash of o rings :)

Ya that website was crazy glitchy. I had to do a lot of refreshing too, but I got mine as well!!!

How long do we think it's going to take for it to sell out? I ordered the GT2 and the nano tank, I passed on the 3.2mm channel cup, because my coil jig is 2.5mm, and I don't really think I'll benefit from a 3.2mm cup

Interesting that sleeve,(not the channel size) I thought they were the same as the TGT 1 but I see there is much more area for the o-ring to seal making it adjustable juice control. I saw that in the video but didn't realize they were different. I have done similar by putting a thicker o-ring on the cap.

Site issues were funny - everything working fine right up until 1pm on the dot. lol.

Happy I got in on it. Hoping for a speedy delivery!


EDIT: Wow looks like they are off the market already. That didn't take long. Almost everything GT 2 related on the site is sold out now.

Yeah I'm eagerly awaiting a good clone of the TGT II. Can't swing an authentic at the current price. In your opinion, is there anything about it that would make it difficult to clone? In my mind, since they ("they" being the cloners) did a fairly decent job (not perfect but decent) with the Rose V2, this ought to be fairly easy to copy 'n paste.

Hopefully I'll have it in my hands before FT lists it, of coarse I'll buy that too.

I think we will see it cloned sooner than later. They did, in my opinion, a fantastic job on the TGT 1's

I choose the Taifun II over the K 4 because of it's simplicity which also makes it easy to clone.(the K 4 is $20 cheaper BTW)

Oh, I want a K 4 too but can not afford it now....LOL

As of now they show NADA, ZIP, ZILCH, "O"....so my guess they're sold out.....:(

I am sure some of the first orders were to some people that no doubt work for the "cloners", and we will see clones VERY soon, as many cannot afford the prices of the originals, and with many cloners doing such a good job who can blame anyone for buying a clone!

Thanks for the input. I like your thinking! Once I got my hands on a few GOOD kayfun clones (with appropriately deep juice channels) I was able to get 'em working just fine, but I always preferred the vape experience from a TGT. So the only reason I was even messing with kayfuns was because so many mods are 21mm (or something like that, more narrow than a TGT).

At any rate, I finally got back around to drippers and discovered I'd been doin' it all wrong and now all my kayfun clones have been successfully replaced by drippers. ;)

I think we will see it cloned sooner than later. They did, in my opinion, a fantastic job on the TGT 1's

I've owned the Erlkonigin, a Kayfun lite+, and currently have a Squape Reloaded, all authentics. I can't get any of them to wick, and I'm hoping the GT 2 will not give me that problem, being that the wicks are constantly exposed to juice, like a clearomizer, just bigger. I also really like mesh, and this thing is hopefully the perfect tank for my P3

There are some great threads here here on ECF with folks that will bend over backwards willing to help you with that.
