Someone posted this I think but cant find it ( @dwcraig1 ??)

Does the authentic GT2 base fit into the rest of the hotcig GT2-S clone??
I don't have an original to check that but i think it should fit.

Does anyone know where I can get the stainless and plexi tanks for Taifun GT 1? I cant seem to find the genuine parts anywhere. If anyone knows which of the clones are compatible/ no leaks, is the best one?

I checked Gear best and fastech and they dont have just the ss and Plexi parts. I hate to buy a whole GT only for the tanks.
These are poly and they fit the GT1

Not sure if this is what you want or not:
$3.10 Stainless Steel Tank for GT-S Rebuildable Tank Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Are you looking for the tank that's half SS and half plastic, that's a hard one.

So the GSL was well worth the purchase. It is an exceptional vape. It was such an easy build, and really easy to wick. It comes in slightly shorter than the GT-II, and I love the fact that it has 2 seperate AFC rings for under-coil and side airflows. I have dialled in the perfect combination for my preferred draw and the flavour is outstanding. It is instantly my favourite RTA, even above the GT-II and Erlkonigin, which is saying something!

Unless you need a 23mm, Id say the 22 is more than fine :)

The differences I see is it looks like the GSL has a raised airhole. I don't think my 22mm GS2 does. And maybe the feeder straw holes are not so gigantic, but I do have it functioning fine now despite that.

Mine is supposed to be here today, will post a photo of GS2 and GSL side by side to see about those holes.

I was thinking, like I tend to do, about the size of those holes and thought to myself that maybe because they did not have an actual GSL they just enlarged the CAD design of the smaller one a few percentages, but that also enlarged the holes?

Anyway, we will see later when it gets here.

Yes, I think that's exactly what Shenray did. Its not just the feed holes. The airflow is substantially increased also. As of right now I prefer the little one. But, I'm going to experiment with the bigger one and either go dual coil or a clapton.

My 19 and 22 are both Hotcig, little one has a 2 mm air hole and the 22 has a 3 mm air hole. I think the straw holes are the same size on both of mine.
OK I "looked" at both and they appear to be the same size straw holes on both.
I too am partial to the small one but everything is easier on the big one especially having some juice still left in it after using it a bit.

I got my eye on an authentic Taifun GSL or Flash E-vapor :hubba: I'm really interested in those pictures and observations from Ms. Anavidfan. Hello Ms. Roxynoodle :) Good to see ya here :D I've been cutting down on buys recently so to keep my card in my wallet I have been avoiding the pages. :(

I would say that the GT2, GS and Flash-e and my Phenoms are equal in taste. As far as easiest atty, the Flash-e beats them. So easy to see if your coil is clean, Great air ( I use it without the screw ) easy to fill without taking apart. ITs not the purdiest, but it has a certain industrial elegance.

The GT2 took me about 4 rewicks to get it perfect. I find no tails out of the chamber, wicks rolled inside with high shoulders and mesh straws resting snug, but not tight on the shoulders is perfect. I leave about .75 mm hole inside the mesh straws for my almost all vg juice.

It holds actually 5mls and the short or chopped tank setup is more compact but still holds 4mls.

Phenom is the most aesthetically pleasing but it has its little quirks, but its not hard nor does it take long to get used to it and taste is great.
TGT2 is a pleasure to use, looks great, but the dialing in of the juice control takes a few times to get the right amount of space to let in enough liquid and not too much. If it had an adjustable JC that could be done on the fly and not open, it would be the perfect large tank. It also does not actually hold 5mls like it says, more like 4ish.

Those are my opinions and Im weird. Flavour is most important and all 4 of these are wonderful in taste. Flash-e is the most airy, but taste is still just as good.
