The chimney tube has a larger ridge above it's o-ring so it can only go in the chamber's cap till it bottoms. If the tank doesn't screw on far enough to seal on the o-ring the threaded end (top) needs to be machined down ( sanded in my case) till it get to desired spot. After that the upper AC ring will have to be reduced next till it fits, I try to make it so the tank locks the ac ring.
Here are some pictures, maybe I can add to this when I get home.
The o-ring that seal the tank bottom:

Tank not sealing on o-ring:

Tank in desired spot (could be farther):

If it doesn't screw on far enough this piece needs reduced on top side:

Next, check how much needs to come off the side of AC ring without the knurling:

Lastly, my machine shop:

^^^ alright, I should be able to handle that (yeah right). I guess I'll see whenever it arrives. Didn't you say something about one of the hole inside not being wide enough? needing to be drilled maybe?
No it's fine air wise with the 3 slotted upper AC ring. This is a 1:1 of the original (that hole)

OK thanks. Mine is ordered and already shipped from Focal, so I guess we'll see when it gets here. Never did a group buy from a web site before... I have ordered from Focal before with good success. Hopefully I'll like it. The funny thing is, I've been a Taifun fan for a long time, always complained about it being 23mm and not fitting anything I had since everything was 22mm - but did I order the 22mm hotcig GS2 ? NOOOO! I ordered the 23mm GSL! :D And I know I'm still going to order the 22mm EVENTUALLY, but I wanted to give the other 2 tanks I bought recently a chance - which are the Crown and the Aromamizer... Both have proven themselves to me - I like both of them for different reasons. I feel the flavor is better from the Crown and their pre-made coils, but the Aromamizer is easy to rebuild and the airflow is insane.

THANK YOU FOR THE FAST RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS! :)

I'm having major internet connection problems, my connection is 300Mbps but it's dropping to 2 and then drops at\he connection.
Still can't quite figure where the Aromamizer fits in my rotation but I've ordered another one.

I respect and understand that. Generally I am not a cloud blowing vaper, so I feel the same way. I've been using mine with 2 air holes only, and its still super airy but not bad, just different than I'm used to. I'm vaping mine right now as a single coil, plugged 2 of the juice holes with a cotton "U" shaped plug, put a tiny piece of napkin under the AFC band to cover 1 air hole, and its a much more "familiar" style of vaping for me (1 coil, 1 air hole).

I am 100% sure I CANNOT handle any of that machining on mine. I will have to roll with it the way it comes.

I now using my new clone GT 2 tank. It is a Tobeco. I have been using Kanger Subtanks for a long time now. I am blown away by the flavor this thing puts out!
How about a link to where you bought it, I haven't seen a Tobeco as yet?

TAIFUN GT 2 RBA REBUILDABLE ATOMIZER TOBECO CLONE

If you wait a bit they'll probably toss up a code for 40% off clearance again one of these days, they currently have a 20% code "NOV20" which brings it to $15.16, add another $5 and they ship free as well.

That Ebay seller is probably Kanvape, they are in Topeka

If it's this one, well the picture is of a GT 1
TAIFUN GT 2 RTA REBUILDABLE TANK
Oh just the disassembled one, the other pics are of GT 2

Yea they seem to not be concerned with proper pics sometimes, they have a picture of a four nine mech for a LPG . Probably just an error they never bothered to fix.

Are they trying to say it's 22 mm?

Hmm, don't see anything mentioning 22mm on the website, closest thing to it is under the price it says 22 in stock.
