Taifun GT Discusion!

[ZeroOhm]

Anyone know if this GT clone is a clone of clone of a clone and who its manufactured by box is the same but the FT one doesn't come with spare O rings and air tubes.

Not sure who the manufacturer is but I think vaporbreak sells the one with the extras

 

[dwcraig1]

I'd sure like to have them extras but chances are good that it's the same, hard to tell from a photo though.
I don't mind buying from SmokerStore.de but the cost of the shipping sucks.
I just ordered a GS and all the fixings but forgot to order the GT parts, oh well

I am sure i will need the spares at some point and trying to get a O rings exactly the right size sucks, the seller is currently cheaper than FT with a $15 or more order its free shipping looks like they are using Swiss post so not sure on the delivery times we shall see, I ordered another KFL and it was shipped with tracking in 5 hours I can't complain there, I tried Swedish post with FT but its like spin the wheel of fortune with which postal service and I am pretty sure they don't offer EMS to the UK but from experience Swedish post is slow as a snail and speaking to Swedes they are not good. Shipping costs are a real pain I shipped a few hundred items to the US from here approx $16 a go and recently USPS tracking was slow at times maybe days to update once it hit an USPS ISC sort facility and point to point tracking.

I ordered some KF and GT spares from FT a week or so ago they were sent the next day so when they have the stock it seems they can be pretty quick. Impressed with the GT just need a decent VW mod after so much junk and failures at UK prices and not feeling it for a Vari its time to stump up and get a Semovar atleast The KFs, KFL and Taifuns wont look so bad Next call a couple Mech Mods but i need to find out which ones are reliable.

There's quite a price difference between these two but not much else.
Chi You clone and Taifun clone, about $45

I have set up my Taifun clone like a spheroid using some "fluff" that I savaged from 5 cartomizers..this should do what you have in mind.
I have some store bought stuff on the way but what I'm using seems pretty good. It' certainly easy enough to do and isn't going to leak as long as it's not over filled.

Now that's one helluva good idea! If you tried it with boiled cotton wool, how does carto fluff compare?
It'd pass the boiling stage and I've got some old, but never the less unused cartos I bought when I started vaping. Quickly quit the stuffed carto regime though.

Has some one compared this carto fluff and boiled cotton wool for micro coils ???

If so, how does it rate?

A super method to use new cartos that are sitting using space for nothing
If it's good for the taste and all...???

 

[Starlyte2]

USPS lied and my fluff didn't show up today
...
So I took a pair pliers that I have heat shrink over the jaws and gave it a very slight squeeze... Very happy now

WOW!! This thread, which I looked at to get an idea on the worth of TGT's, is a MINE of good tips

HEAT SHRINK on the tips of pliers, I'd never thought of that, but it's a great idea.

USPS always lie, by the way, like the majority of postal services worldwide!

In Devon, at least N.Devon, a "bap" is a really super bread roll, round, delicious. At least it was when I was a kid (but that's ancient history ).

Any how, thanks bapgood, a really useful tip I got from you there.
Long may the vape rule...

Way back when I use to modify the wick hole on these and got pretty good performance from them, they look familiar don't they?

I even built some into SS carto tubes for use in a carto tank back when GotVape brought out the ones that bombed, Still have them here some where.
Cotton pads on the way from SmokerStore.de

no, they don't look familiar to me... what are they? they look interesting!

 

[dwcraig1]

CE3 clearomizers
You don't see the resemblance to the Taifun as to how they work?
They are about the same size as a cartomizer. They are a real ....th to rewick

no, I do see the resemblance to the taifun I just didn't recognize the device itself.

I still have a few boxes of these in a drawer somewhere.

 

[bapgood]

Well here we go....TGT in spheroid mode

Chain vaped for a few minutes and so far so good.

 

[Texaslimo]

all righty.. what in the heck does spheroid mode mean? I knw there is a device called a spheroid but I have never owned one.

A spheroid isn't an open tank. The liquid is held in a filler material, much like a cartomizer. The wick contacts the saturated filler material, and feeds the coil below.

I can see how that might improve a poor situation in the case of leaking or flooding, but what other advantage is there to this approach?

The main advantage, when set up properly, is that they don't leak, even on their side or upside down.

lol, texas! i thought by now we taught you there might be no advantage but bap will always look for new or improved methods in his quest for the perfect vape!

and that's a good thing! without that type of vaper we all might still be vaping carts and i don't mean cartos
that was way before your time
