18 x 1 mm o-ring at each end of glass tank, wait isn't one of them fitted on the top cap and the other at the bottom of the glass?

Thanks Craig. Both of them came out. I dropped one down to the bottom of the tank enclosure and slid the tank back in over the top. Then I sat the other one on top of the tank and screwed the cap back on slowly. I had to poke the bottom oring back into place during the cap fitting to keep it from bulging out. At the end of the ordeal the glass tank was snug with no protruding orings. It's working fine now, but I think this will need to be redone whenever I disassemble the tank and enclosure.
EDIT: I did try to put the oring around the top cap, but it didn't look right.
I would think that the top one went back in place when screwed on.
Taigun GT II 18 x 1 mm o-ring
A picture is worth a thousand words. Thank you Craig!
On yours the bottom tank oring just kinda sits there? When you clean it you take it out?
EDIT: The top oring was indeed snug back in place when I unscrewed the cap - eggzellent. However the bottom oring remained loosey goosey and just fell out when I ran water over the tank enclosure. I was able to get it back in and everything is working fine, but this is a bit annoying. I am thinking there is a way to secure it in place so it doesn't just pop out like that, but I haven't played with it all that much yet. Will share the info if I figure it out.

SmokerStore has the GT II back in stock. If anyone missed the first run now's your chance to grab it.
EDIT: "Zur Zeit nicht lieferbar". That didn't take long (sold out). On a somewhat related note I am stalking SmokerStore often enough that I think I am starting to pick up some Deutsch.

I am so totally in love with this new build using ss mess through the chamber caps of the GS. Holy Moly this is one great way to vape. Wish I could build out my GT's like this.
Mine, the Ehpro GS is doing real good as well, better than the original in fact. (because of the build in it only)
Just tested the draw and loving it. Kids hurry up and go to sleep.
Nice shot there, Sedge!
How often should you have to change Orings? I cannot get a Taifun to work and not leak for the last week or more
Nope, I've got a micro like coil with rayon and using the little ss sticks to juice it.
Take a good look(feel) as to how the chimney stem fits into the chamber cap. do this with just the two pieces in your hands. You should be able to feel the "drag" of the 4 x 1 o-ring as it passes through the cap. If it feels like the o-ring it not even there that may be your problem spot. This problem is pretty much found on FT type "B" TGT's. They have cut the groove to deep in the stem and the o-ring can't seal.
so is this what I have read about where someone ran some dental floss around the groove a few times
That'll do it, or an improperly sized wick will do it every time. Try a couple of thicknesses as tests to be certain. I use KGD, which has great compression, and I may err on the side of dry hit, but almost never leaking any more. If you replace your O-rings and still have leaking out the 510 or air channel, could easily be the wick size. The pressure seal at that point is the most sensitive of all, for me, anyway. Good luck!
One can lay a couple small pieces of tiny rolled cotton onto the wick where it passes through the slots, this is how I checked one of mine last week even though it was a silica build. You can add more or take it back out easy enough.
And in this case on mine it was not enough wick in the slots.
Alright-I might be a little thin on my KGD-I am going to try to add a piece on top on each side and see if I get leakage after that.
So after you add it and for example you know it's too much and it's sill leaky then you know to look else where for the problem.
