....... What about using another twist of cotton over the main coil? Would that help with the flooding I'm having? ......

Back when I was wicking top coil clearos I tried the so called flavor wick a couple of times and never did like it. What worked better for me was having the extra wick come up to the edge of the coil and end there, one on each side of the coil. Worth a try at least.

No they held it over to suposedly send the SS base with it, but after a month I got it and the deck was chromed brass. So I put in another ticket and was told they resolved it… they're out of stock… Blah, blah, blah! :banghead:

EDIT: Sufie from FT just appolgized for the over zelous CS that sent me down the creek and asured that SS TRUE deck will be sent out to all who filed a ticket. Even posted a pic with scratch test…

Let's wait (and wait some more) and see! Hoping for the best :rolleyes: Hope it gets here with my Chi-You!

Mine was held over for the same thing. Luckily I did the scratch test and confirmed mine was in fact fixed.

rewicked an recoiled my TGT this morning. I forgot to take off the top cap of the chamber when I tried to take out my cotton. Needless to say that coil was ruined.

filled it to the brim with boba's bounty and it's running great again. this rba doesn't seem hard at all considering I'm 2 for 2 on it so far

Re-wicked the same coil with a higher volume of cotton and it's now working GREAT. No dry hits, no flooding, no leaking. Just for curiosity's sake I also made a much longer wick, with the ends well past the build well and hanging down/squashed against the tank. I really didn't think that would fly, but it is. It's at least as great as my Fogger.

I feel so bad for you folks with first run TGT clones (brass decks), what a bummer. I'm so glad I waited, I could never afford the authentic. To the designer(s), if you come around Austin for the Grand Prix race track, SXSW, or ACL, (a few) drinks are on me!

I don't know about other wicking options, but I used organic cotton ball for wick and a 2mm ID "micro"ish coil. 28g, (wraps?, meh) 1.2 ohm running at 4 volts. Fantastmagoric. If there's a downside to the TGT, I haven't found it yet. More sympathy goes out to those that vape tank cracker juices.

IMO, the SQuape is very similar the TGT in many ways though, the same coil and wick give me the same vape. One is much heavier in weight though quicker/easier to build and has more capacity (SQuape), the other is has many more parts but is much lighter and generally looks better (YMMV). To both of these, the Kayfun styles are over engineered to a fault. This game is moving fast, the next king has some big shoes to fill.
I highly suspect this will be the next king to beat!

bap, did wherever you got that offer them as a separate item? the rings from the sigelei co-op were a big disappointment to most even though they do some better on a provari than the pv they were designed for ;)

I don't think so. I got the Flash-e from White Stag Vapor and they don't even have it on their site anymore. I looked around and didn't see the ring on their site.

If you want to buy a few I can talk to Jacek.
