Taifun GT Discusion!

[roxynoodle]

I love my Taifun . Its just been perfect in every way. Not a single problem, and a great vape. And easy to build and wick.

Wub. Got my chimney section back from dwcraig, who did a fantastic job at helping me widen my wick slots on my FC TGT.

vaping at 0.8 ohms, 26ga wires at 23 watts and it's just wicking like a champ. Thanks Craig!

Dropped my Eye on the tile floor, the bottom cap popped off and it bent the side of the 18650 tube. I got it back to near perfect, but the cap will not completely seat now. First ..... in the armor. I've contacted Smoker Store about it. They sell a telescoping tube, but not an 18650 tube (18350, 18500, and telescoping only). I stuck a magnet in it for now, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. Thoughts?

Oh crap!!...that sucks..but why don't you check vapinart.com they had the eye in stock and I think its accessories too. They are in the US and if I remember correctly their prices were not that far off from the European websites..they sold the eye for $300 or so

Yeah, they still have The Eye. I didn't see any tubes. I've written them, and ordered the telescoping tube for now from SmokerStore. The magnets appear to work fine for now. I can probably take this to a shop and get this fixed, as it's only out of round by a smidgeon. Probably a ring resizer would do the trick, as well. We'll see. thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know that any US company carried this product. Many thanks!

You're welcome Bill..sorry about your new toy. Hope you get it fixed right and soon

Do you feel that your getting enough air? That would make it hot if not.
With the low coil and number of wraps you have a lot of coil that may not be in the air path, just thinking here.

I know most folks are using cotton and micros in their tanks but not me, my 49 ft of 3 mm twisted silica from FT will be here tomorrow and for under $10

Could be..hmm..gonna raise the coils and see the results

If your atty is getting excessively hot, you may want to check that you have a solid electrical connection. I have had heat issues when my atomizer was making intermittent or weak contact with the mod.

I have several, and also love them except for one very big thing.... the darn plastic tank! There are so many juices I just can't use in it! Has anyone heard anything about a future version with a glass tank? I hope, I hope, I hope......

 

[roxynoodle]

You can get a full metal tank, but I haven't seen glass.

 

[mbolack]

Yeah, I have one of those. But it drives me nuts, not knowing how much juice I have in the tank. And it also doesn't fit *all* of my GTs. Some of my bases just won't screw onto it.

I just keep thinking it is time for whoever it is that actually manufactures this exceptional RTA to come out with a new version with a glass tank. I'm sure it would require some re-engineering, like the RSST people did when they came out with a glass tank version. But I'd sure spend my money on it, and I'm betting a lot of others would, too.

Until I can get a version with a glass tank, I have to keep using other brands, or that darn metal tank any time I want to use a juice that cracks plastic tanks. Shoot, I even had my menthol juice crack one! I love banana, too, and have to use my leaky RSST for it. (I've never learned to use it without leaks, which also means I basically have to use it at my desk.... I certainly can't put it in my purse, or even hang it around my neck with a lanyard, which I do all the time with my provari/GT combination.)

I think they could even make a conversion kit for this. Don't you guys think so?

I do think so and am waiting patiently for a glass tank to come out. This is what always drives me back to rebuilding the Protank. I just love the glass and the size.

I have a bag of size 12 orings and I need size 11. Anybody have a few they want to trade?

 

[chanelvaps]

G weezy-any chance you can explain this better because I have leaking and burnt taste.
Talk to me like I don't know anything (what is the 'post?")

I had both of the insulators on the post melted a little. Was running the tank to low. Was getting burnt taste and leaking for awhile. My remedy. I took one post out and flipped the insulator. Did the other side once this side was screwed back into place. No more leaking and burn taste. Everything working flawlessly.

To most....what range ohms do you prefer to vape at in this tank? Right now I've found my sweet spot at .80-1.00.

Once I had a short in a Ithaka clone where the coil leg burnt an o-ring, what a flavor, burning tires. I had a hard time getting that smell out of there. What did the trick was to soak the parts in mint Listerine. I still do this on new atties where a normal cleaning doesn't remove the machine oil smell.

 

[makuto]

On my new FAKE Taifun GT I noticed the logo is not the same as the HCigar. I get no leakage and a smooth draw but I get a taste of burned cotton. Any suggestions to solve this issue?
