If anyone wants the stainless 316L profiles David jaquith made, I posted the info in the 316L thread

I'm interested with what's in the glass.
Ignore all the medication, it's not fun being older.
This one is built like a flash e vapor, coil is really high, no pillows under the wick in those juice wells, just 1 fluffy wick in a 3mm twisted 28g (x2) 316L stainless coil. It's like 0.60 ohms at 5 wraps... It's so springy who knows what the ID really ended up being. I'm using short mesh wicking tubes that are hollow and being pushed back by the cotton wick... So far not a problem.
I'm using the jaquith v3.25 csv file from the Evolv forum... But I have to admit I'm not impressed with the stainless at this point. 28g was probably not the right size to buy, maybe needed a lower gauge because 28g ss has similar resistance to nichrome (I read) and most of my coils end up higher in resistance than I would expect.
In straight power mode it's probably fine, but TC doesn't seem to work properly for me...YMMV. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I dunno. I hated ni200 initially, now I prefer it.....
Maybe I should get a shorter drip tip, my TGT2 is darn near the same length as my mod since I'm running it with an 18350 battery.
Speaking of 18350 batteries, how does a guy that knows better end up getting bit by the AW-Ebay counterfeit bug. It's not what I'm using now but I have a couple of fakes coming. I have some real ones coming as well...BTW
Let me add to this a bit, I'm using the purple Efest 18350's in my Dicodes with a 0.30Ω coil @ 30 watts and I'm really impressed with this "little" battery.

if it is an ebay purchase you can refuse package and get refund via paypal based on the counterfeit rule
Does anybody know what the glass tank replacement is for the Hotcig GT II s. I have had these going since May and never cracked a tank. Just broke 2 in the last week, so I figure I should try and find some befoer the vapocalypse and all. The GT I stainless tank does fit however, but would still like some extra glass. I have been reading on the fastec discussions and was noticeing a 22.3 mm tank, but I read further and said it would fit, but a little loose. I guess it comes with a 22.6mm. Are they making these yet? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I believe these will fit the Hotcig, They are also supposed to fit the Authentic. They are thinner walled glass then the other clone tanks, will probably fit the Tobeco as well.

I measured my Hotcig ones and the thick walled FT cheaper ones and the Tobeco ones that I received today.
Hotcig and Tobeco = 21.7 mm, the thick walled others 21.1 to 21.5 (with everything in between)
Now on to my take on the Tobeco TGT2. Overall pretty good, here's where it's lacking:
The o-ring that seals the tank to the base is 17 x 1 mm, needs to be 17 x 1.5 mm.
The sliding chamber sleeve is in it's "vape" position when pressed in all the way.
They put an o-ring on the 510 screw like on TGT1 but it's 3 x 1 mm, needs to be 2 x 1 mm. (shouldn't need one here anyway)
It is fairly clean of machine oils but many hair like metal strands to be found.
Chamber cap fits as it should and adjusts well, wick slots are correct size.
The tank top is a bit thinner than others where the knurling is.
The drip tip is slightly different below it's knurling.
Looks a lot better than most others (most).

thank goodness I have some of these, so I will take your word for it and change mine
So are you saying I can just discard the o-ring altogether?
Actually I was pleased to acquire a couple of 17 x 1 mm o-rings because believe it or not I'm out of that size (I think) On the 510 screw, whatever.
Thanks for the info, I have never ordered from focalcig. Is thier shipping to U.S. worth it for a 5 dollar item? Wish fastec had them.
Appreciate heads up on the o ring discrepancy, just put 4 of them in the vapocopalyse box, would have sucked pulling them out in a few years to use and had them leak out the rest of my stash of nic juice.
Just got a new glass in for my Hotcig GT II S from fasttech it measures outside diameter 21.5 have not tried it yet as the tank is still full of juice. This is the one I ordered $2.02 Replacement Glass Tank for Taifun GT-T V2 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping.
Might be a thick walled one. The thin one is 1.1 mm and the thick one as around 1.5 - 1.6 mm. It won't matter much with thinner juice to use the thick walled on but with heavier VG juices it kind of restricts wicking.
