GS2 = 19 mm. GSL = 23mm. They are pretty much the same other than size.
Smokerstore is the designer as far as I know for the Taifun products.

Thanks. That's really disappointing. They were absolutely awful to me. Back to clones of their stuff.
Dripping today with the gs2 clone Works well for that. Good flavor and vapor production. No leaking even relatively full.
I found it worked quite nicely as well.Dripping today with the gs2 clone Works well for that. Good flavor and vapor production. No leaking even relatively full.
Ha I just took mine off a white Evic mini to out it on the provariI found it worked quite nicely as well.
Although this thread is for Taifun's I shall post this here as it pertains to most any tank.
My Hotcig FEV still had that famous fasttech flavor even after it's initial cleaning. I kind of maybe did a bit of a rush job cleaning it as it appeared pretty clean when it arrived.
Even after it's 2nd re-wicking and filling the taste was still there.
Tonight I got after it and found the offending crude in the chimney pipe and more of it than I would have imagined. It isn't as if I didn't know better......DUH
Now that it's up and running again it's super fine now.
(like I never found crude in the air pipe before)

I ditched my Tobeco clones and went back to using the bases from FT and adding the acrylic caps from FT to make my Taifuns and LOVE this so much more. Def better air flow.
I have one Taifun (TGll) and I have been getting burnt hits for over a week with it. I have rebuilt the coil twice, I have wicked thinner than usual, I have changed to many different juices, I have lowered and raised the coil and I have tried it on different devices. What could be wrong?
Resistance correct for the build? What I mean is the resistance what you would expect from x wraps of xxg wire? When you fire it is your resistance stable? Duble check, make sure your resistance is stable.
Sounds like you've pretty much gone through the build process, if the build/wicking is right the only thing I could think of off hand is somehow the resistance your mod is seeing is higher then the build should be, which in turn would raise the voltage.
I gather you have other atomizers that are fine?

Yes I have many Taifuns and they are all fine. On this particular one my builds have ranged form 1.3-1.5 each time I have built it out and they are stable as in no jumping
I have tried it on many things (Vaporshark rDNA and Clouper) and other atty's work fine on all other gear. Just this one atty no matter the device
I would check 510 center pin (burrs, loose or too high when tightened, insulator), damaged posi post insulator and post screws (loose or stripped). If those pan out I would also check O-rings (chimney stem, top and bottom tank). Past that try a priest.
well, really, the only thing that is going to cause dry or burnt hits is lack of juice on the wick, hot leg, or drastic voltage increase due to a falsely high resistance.
Had a similar occurrence with a new atty just the other day. When it was altogether I was getting burnt hits, take it apart, wick was nicely saturated, and firing great, put it together, nasty burnt.
Finally I managed to catch a glimpse down the chimney of red glowing leg. Never did find out what was causing it, maybe just some funky Kanthal, was not shorted anywhere, just went away, hasn't happened since.
Do a little detective work, wet your wick really well, if you get a few good hits then bad, its gotta be wicking. If it starts out bad even when well juiced it has to be over voltage, or a hot leg/coil not firing correctly. Only way I can see it firing too hot is the mod sensing a higher resistance then it really is, which you should see on the display.
Lets hear some more about your build, wraps, size, wick, resistance. Happens after a while, immediately or? details will help figure it out.
What does the wicking media look like? correctly colored, darkened unusually fast, burnt? Normal?

Hi CC
thats the thing, the wick never looks burnt or even dark. I have taken it apart a number of times thinking I am going to find a burnt wick and no. Maybe it would burn if I keep firing it. I usually pull it apart (again) as soon as I get 1-2 burnt hits. Build is on a blue screwdrive (sorry do not know the diameter) 5 wraps of 30 gauge, comes out about 1.37 ohms. Firing it on several things. So far I have rebuilt it three times in about three days. Always get about the same or close in OHMS
Hot leg then maybe? Have any other wire besides the 30g, maybe try 28g or something.
well the reason was never revealed but the tank is now going strong with no burnt hits at all. I did tighten all screws and check posts. Thanks
A very generous gift arrived yesterday!
The Taifun GS with a couple of spare tanks! I find this to be a great atty and possibly think that it has a better flavor than the GSII. I started with standard coil, wicked with Rayon and made mesh straws for the feeders. That tank vaped and worked perfectly, it is a fairly thick juice but the straws kept up to the coil, I was a little worried as the feed holes are quite a bit smaller than the GSII or FeV VS.
This morning I built it exactly the same as the FeV VS with the coil inline with the post screws. A piece of 0.5mm Ribbon Kanthal, 6 wraps on 2.5mm for 1.5ohm's. Pulled the Rayon through and cut it off flush with the outside edge of the post screws, fluffed and primed. Adjusted the mesh straws to lightly touch down into the wicks, filled and reassembled. I'd say its on par now withe the FeV VS!
A very much appreciated gift and an excellent vape. Thank You!
