4 x 1mm what is this one for
Yes 4 x 1 mm for Taifun GT bottom of chimney.
When using "fluff" inside the tank like a Spheriod this o-ring is removed and replaced with a fatter one so the "fluff" stays in place better.
Not much talk about anybody doing it though, I tried it once, I have plenty of filler but.................

2 x 1mm for bottom of 510 connection?

The 17 x 1.5 are at each place where the end of the tank seals..
12 x 1 mm on the chamber cap.
11 x 1 mm or 12 x 1 mm under the sliding sleeve.
4 x 1 on the end of the chimney (fill line).
2 x 1 mm under the 510 screw's head.
5 x 1.5 mm goes on the drip tip.......or also fits Kayfun's chimney top..

I think you should put together all of these in a blog, and then we can all bookmark it, and refer others there as well. :thumb: :toast: :D

I've seen one floating around for the Kayfun, but is there an exploded view of all the TGT parts somewhere? Maybe it can be photoshopped with numbers and a legend.

Note: 11 x 1 mm on most, 12 x 1 mm on some (under sliding sleeve)
I've heard that on some clones that the chimney is pressed into the tank top, most are one piece.

I might be a little late to the Taifun GT party here, but I wanted, no, NEED to thank everyone who posted on this thread. This has been so informative and helpful!

I finally built myself a coil on a Hcigar clone I picked up yesterday. My first build! I bought 30 gauge kanthal and wrapped 8 or 9 times around a screwdriver size I'm not even sure about (my dad's tools). The coil read 2 ohm on my provari and it checked in at 2.2 after full assembly. I went to the drugstore to look for organic cotton, but it was bleached with hydrogen peroxide and I wasn't sure if that is safe/healthy to vape? So I went home and used some shiseido make up pads around the house for my wick.

This process was much easier than I thought it would be. And compared to the mini nautilus I've been using, the flavor it's amazing!

I'm pretty sure I'll be removing the air flow post as many others here have as it's not as airy as I'd like, but I love this taifun!!!

Honestly, I never thought I'd be using such a big device as I started using an eRoll when I first started vaping and wanted the experience to replicate a real cigarette as much as possible. It sure beats refilling the juice every 5 minutes when I'm vaping.

At this point, I can never go back. I've been sucked into the DIY culture of vaping and I love it!

Just dropped my Taifun GT along with my Stingray-X mod and now it's not working. The Taifun will work fine on my Vamo V5 but it won't fire on the Stingray. Any idea what happened or how to fix it?

Please help!

Could be the 510 screw needs to be extended a bit. But could be a whole lotta things too. Process of elimination. Check the 510 and let us know. GL.!

I've heard those Shishedo pads where as good as KGD. Congrats on your first build~

Hey guys, I got a taifun gt last week and built on it but I am noticing almost no flavor. I have a single coil with 28 kanthal around a 2mm drill bit. Like say I try Hawksauce, I get a little of the menthol flavor but not much else. I do taste a bit of metal I guess I would say. I did clean the rta when I got it with soap and water. I am using japanese cotton also with it.

My nautilus mini gives tons more flavor.
