I loved the big pics of the Tanqueray and Lilett

My Dad made us a Vesper Martini. It was the best Ive tasted... Im not a big Martini fan, and if I did have one it was always a vodka one. This has gin and vodka with the Lillet.... WOW, so smooth, almost as if it had no alcohol, but the you get a soft kick once it hits the blood stream :)

Logoless 22mm HotCig GSII, Build quality is very nice, smooth clean machining, no issues whatsoever. Performance is on par with the 19mm version.

I'd like to try the Hotcig GS2 clone. What attracts me to the GS2 is its short height and FeV style feed tubes. But looking at the FT pics, I see no PTFE feed tubes and no mention of the tubes in the description. I think ccwaters pics shows a single long plastic tube in the parts bag. Is that the PTFE tube? and did you get your logoless GS2 from FT? I could always use mesh straws, which have worked well with my FeV's, but I'd like to try the PTFE tubes also.

Both of my 19mm clones came with tubes, Hotcig had to be cut in half, Shenray was two pieces, the Hotcig 22mm version did not come with any. Hotcig does have a versions both with, and without, both Hotcigs came logo free, both from FT. The Shenray seems to have a logo no matter where it comes from.

I'm still trying to figure out how your getting yours a couple of days ahead of mine. Mine goes through SF customs.

Thanks ccwaters! I found it, 22mm and two "white accessories". $16.96 GS II Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (3ml) - stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Guess this is the Shenray version, based on its price.

edit: Disregard the FT link above. That's a 19mm GS2. I found a 22mm GS2 at GB:
Hotcig Taifun GS V2 Style RTA 316 Stainless Steel E-cig Atomizer with 22mm Overall Diameter-19.24 and Free Shipping| GearBest.com No tube, but I can just use mesh straws.

Hi Roxy, I got my black Shenray and its a great atty. I got the one that is just like my GS2, and other than the color its hard to tell them apart. Only thing I see is that the AFC rings are a bit loose, but as far as performance and build its just as good. Im sure you will love yours.

I love my little Shenray, which is why I bought the bigger one :). I wish I had seen that they had it in black. Its on my ipv d2, and all black would've looked sweet. It was a spontaneous buy, lol! I saw group buy, $14.99, and just bought it without looking around FC.

Then saw someone post there was a bigger one, and went back to FC and bought that as well.

Hoping to see it this week. Something in my order was backordered and caused a long delay on shipping, but it went out early last week so I should have it soon. I also got Le Magister clone to try, a bf Velocity clone to try and a Reo clone to rebuild. Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with the Reo yet until it gets here. I know its 510 is a potential problem because the adjustable pin isn't reverse threaded. I am either going to try a FDV squonker 510, or LP it. Going to replace any questionable parts. And maybe refinish it.
