Got a different version today. Came in a black cloth zipper bag. I cleaned it with dish soap and a tooth brush. Let it dry and put it together. It vapes great no leaks no problems. I did have to reseat some of the o-rings but that is normal. I am very happy with it. I also changed the drip tip. Only used the metal tip to close and open the juice flow when I refill. Great rta very good quality metal work. Threads are also very smooth.
You can place another tip inside the original they left the top open to 510 adapter so you use your own tip on top of theres to have working jfc still with a normal tip

I canceled the low cost black one and ordered the silver one in the tin box.
It is a better version , has slighty stiffer jfc , but changing the Orings helps ,
As long as there wicked up right , plenty of youtube videos an such if your stuck although most seem to be German ? But easy enough to follow turn volume down ,[emoji3], You won't have any problems with it , im awaiting some one to make a basil Fawlty dub over one of them. That would be fun ,
They seem to be the ones who Review all these great unusual tanks ,

I know it's subjective, but how do like the flavor and density on SR V4 compared to GTIII?
I'm thinking of getting another for stock Piling I'm actually liking it , like you say subjective ,
I can get some small Claptons in my Taifun gtv3 and know wicking channels can keep up with it ,
Im not sure about that with SR v4 since it has about half the size wick channels .
Although it works well with up to a 3mm id plain 26g SS build . And Possibly larger it has enough room between posts , i cut my wick tails to points an works
I like both of them , as ive previously posted i have quite a few Taifun gtv3 s and minis , only one SRv4 but will definitely be getting another have ordered the nano MTL kit for it and possibly will try the v3 now before may TDP Regulations kick in.
Its a easy deck on both an very similar , You dont have to use drip tip to adjust you turn the tank for jfc on SR v4 , so can use any of your own since theres is quite large
The biggest tip is the SRv4

Well i used a tiny bit of wick Compared to this video i just seen lol had no leak no dry hits works great ran 5 tanks, through it already
This is a 3mm id build and as you can see loads more room between posts for bigger , so it doable for larger builds , if use the wicking from YouTube link style ,

Hey Guys Im using the GTIII mini with great results….7 wraps of 26awg kanthal on a 3mm bit, 0.98 ohms at 18W.

Flavour is great, using just one air hole the 1.5mm one i think….drip tip gets real hot in about 3 seconds of a pull.

This is about as close as it gets for simulating a MTL draw I reckon.

Im using 70VG…any idea if one opens the jfc fully on something like this…so far Ive only opened it halfway…just one slot showing on both sides….dont want it to flood.

Overall, very happy with this one, although it won't fit on the pico with the airflow ring on…grrrr.

When I put the top cap on it turns the chimney/well that opens/closes the juice channel. I also cannot figure out how to get the top fill part to work.

I have the mini clone from sxk…..excellent finish but the o-rings on this puppy need some juicing to lube them up.

Had the same problem as you…jfc turns when you open the top cap.
There are two solutions that worked for me.
1. When refilling just raise the drip tip so the notches aren't stick in the jfc notches.
2. On first use, apply some eliquid to the two o-rings on the chimney so they become slippery.

Haven't had a problem since. Great tank.

PS. Oring that came fitted in the chimney was 5X1.2 (X2)….but i swapped them to 5X1.5, no problem.

Afaik, they're discontinuing the GTII & GSL - only keeping the GTIII for moderate vaping (and MtL with the reducer) and the new Taifun BT for DtL/Cloud Chasing.
Makes sense the deck on GT v3 is a lot better and easier to build an wick its so simple to do so .
The gt v2 can be fiddly , and Bottom fill not good , for TDP , lack of JFC , ,
To me the GT v3 is great , but could be refined a little more , use the GT v3 and mini as my daily vapes along with Vg V4 and a SRv4 ,
Wanted a Spica RTA , but only in turkey at moment an dont want to use bank transfer payment , so will have to wait ,

I thought at the start the BT was going to be like my Genelocity's, but it is much better! Finally a use for my sheets of mesh, glad I kept it all.

I thought that too when i seen the ss rope rods , but has a good use of the ss mesh looks to work pretty well too
