Taifun GT Discusion!

[Phone Guy]

Sedge-I will be glad to send him to you. Currently taking him to adoptions every Saturday with a friend of mines Rescue group. Like a bad penny he keeps coming back home to me. He is very cute but has a strong herding instinct and needs a job. He is always overwrought with nervous energy and has turned my yard, home and peace of mind into something I have never seen before. I rescued him and it has been a nightmare that keeps going.

I'm so done with Pets.... my last pet was a miniature dachshund that we had for about 10 years. After him, we said NO MORE. Before him we had a Pomeranian (stupid barking little dog, need doggie prozac, would eat the carpet and pee'd on the christmas tree one year) and I had a Dalmation before that (another STUPID dog - tore up my yard, back door, etc)

NO MORE PETS FOR ME - I'M DONE.

Re: What are some different ways to give my dog jobs at home?
There's all sorts of things you can have your dog do around the house.
I taught my dogs to

Find, and bring to me:
The remote
The phone (best if cordless )
My keys
My purse
Whatever I point to, or ask for by name (slippers, pillow, etc.)

Carry in bags of groceries from the car (put some things away)
Place junk mail in the garbage
Haul the garbage bag down to the alley gate (braided an old towel to tie around the neck of the bag)
Pick up their toys and place into toy box
Sort laundry and place into laundry basket

I had a rope pull on the refrigerator door, however, my male started raiding the 'fridge, so had to take it off! I have to get my own drinks, now.

I had a POm for 10 years and never could successfully potty train him-loved him but was rather glad to see him go. H e developed Asthma and had to be put down after a few years

We kept the POM for a couple years and decided he was just too lonely home alone, barked CONSTANTLY... Gave him to someone who had 3 other dogs, and AFAIK he lived happily ever after, but we never trained him fully either... honestly we gave up on the POM.

The winnie dog we had was actually pretty smart, he would ring a wind chime we had hanging low by the door when he wanted to go outside, slept in a kennel/crate which was like his bedroom, he would just hang out in there when tired with the crate door open... He got sick, developed a spinal problem, which devastated my wife (and me too I can't lie) we nursed him back to health and well... like I said - NO MORE PETS FOR US... sometimes you just go through enough and its not worth going through it again.

Just some ID measurements from TGT tanks/sleeves of mine.
Original TGT 1, 20.20 mm
FT type A TGT 1, 19.27
TGT II clones with 1.5 mm sleeves, 18.48 mm
FT 2080500 TGT II clone, 19.52 mm.
Keep in mind that there isn't all that much clearance between the inside wall of the tank and the outside wall of the chamber.

So if anyone knows where to buy 3rd party tank liners for the TGT II that are 1.2 mm or less wall thickness in glass or plastic please post a link (cheap ones)

dwcraig1, did you ever find an answer to this? I have a FT 2080500. I tried a https://www.fasttech.com/p/2050401 replacement glass tank but it's not satisfactory due to the tiny chimney clearance (ID is about 17.7mm).

I assume the clearance problem is between the sliding chamber and the inside wall of the tank liner, otherwise I believe they do fit.
I have found none for sell as yet but the Hotcig ones are the thin ones. I'm hoping Fasttech or somebody will start to carry them.

I'm using this

with this
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10011983/1699507-replacement-pc-colored-nano-tank-for-taifun-gt
on one of mine, it only holds 2 ml though
The Hotcig comes with two, one clear and one frosted.

Thank you for that info. Love that nano tank and, you assume correctly, there is such little clearance between the chamber and inner tank wall that 60/40 PG/VG takes several minutes to ooze down from top to bottom after refilling. It also affects wicking adversely. Other than that show stopper it's fine! - no leaks at least.
I'm currently using the lovely PC bell tank that came with my 2080500. Now if they did that in glass I would be a happy camper!

While we're here can I ask if you have any experience of the FT top filling tank ? There are no FT reviews yet but I'm guessing it would be prone to leaking when refilling as both my GT V2 air flow rings let some air through when closed.

I had seen those top fill tanks and thought the idea was silly. The Taifun is too easy to fill. Bell tank? Did you order it? Mine (2080500) has none.
Here is the measurements on the Hotcig TGT II glass liner:
OD is 21.62 mm
ID is 19.57 mm
That puts the wall right around 1 mm thick.

OMG I am using the same thing and LOVE it! In fact I bought 3 tanks on Ebay

I think I bought the top cap based on a link you shares. I count on you and your links to keep us up to date at FT

My 2080500 came with a frosted glass tank, the bell tank and a PC tank as standard. The FT photo and description don't mention the extra goodies so I was mighty happy as they're all excellent.
Yes, I agree with your comment about the ease of filling the TGT; I do like the top filling Kayfun though so thought I might give the TGT top fill tank a try as they're so cheap.
Thanks for the Hotcig dimensions; they're identical to the frosted glass tank I've got.

I bought mine (2080500) the first day it was listed, all I got was the frosted PC tank sleeve that it was wearing. Just as the listing shows. I kind of wondered why the price was so much higher.

So after checking the reviews of it on the FT forum, there are quite a few folks mentioning the bell tank and extra PC tank. I may open a ticket even though it's not in the description. Probably the only way I'll get an extra thin glass sleeve.

OH, that's very interesting. Absolutely everything else I've ever bought from FT has been exactly as per their listing. I was contemplating buying another 2080500 but I wonder what I would get.
What I did was use the bell with a FT base unit and the chimney from my old TGT so I've effectively got two TGT V2s for the price of one and a little bit. Pretty good value as their performance is so good (with kanthal at least).
The only thing that niggles me is that both chimneys are now impossible to slide down when wicking. I think the "captive" O rings may have swollen or distorted. It's manageable for kanthal but a right PITA for nickel builds. (Any thoughts gratefully received!)

I created a ticket with them, I shall see what happens.
On the sliding chamber: Remove wick and coil, put chamber cap back on, insert Allen key, rod , drill bit, whatever fits the wick holes, through the chamber so that both ends are sticking out.
Now you can get a hold on it to work it off.

Nice advice. Thank you very much.
Good luck with your ticket!

Taifun gt original, with taifun gt2 base and a black pmma tank. Excellent vape, great airflow. No leaking. Just a solid upgrade for the $6 base. If you've got a taifun gt (1) and retired it like I did because of the airflow, do yourself a favor and get the gt2 base. It's like a new atomizer. No glass, but that's ok

I even drilled my gt1 base to 7/64 on the side, didn't do much except make it louder, no perceivable air flow increase.

I saw this on another thread... Nearly spit coffee on the keyboard from laughing

I'm curious, is the collar and chamber cap much different from the v1 to the v2?

My retrofit v1 with v2 base works fine, the collar is a little tight but works fine.

I couldn't imagine the v2 collar and chamber cap making much (if any) difference?
