Taifun GT Discusion!

[sos2001]

My GT III clone is in the mail box waiting for me when I get off work. Looking forward to trying it.

I've got one on the way from fasttech...it's in that black hole after leaving China and goes by and to wherever.
The wait continues.........................................................................................................................................

I ordered a stainless one from 3fvape yesterday. I'm perfectly happy with my SJMY K5 clones but I had a voucher that was about to run out so I thought I'd give this one a try.

I guess we'll talk again in a couple of weeks when they start coming in, lol

It is SmokerStore, they are the manufacturer.

...and their website stinks.......lol!!

 

[TheotherSteveS]

can anyone let me know how I select a shipping type on the Smokerstore website?? Beats me...I just get stuck at the final checkout stage. I tried their contact page to ask but that doesnt work. I tried both Safari and Firefox but just cant see it...

I have the gt3 off of 3fvape the more expensive one. I have been using it now for about 5 days. It feels fairly hefty in the hand and is quite large. The glass is frosted and there wasn't a lot of machine oil on it 1 wash 1 rinse good to go. Now to my biggest complaint (one of my only complaints about it actually) the threads suck. I have to be super careful to avoid cross threading and the gt3 is a bit large but besides that its great. The machining appears to be great. The basic 2, post deck works beautifully and the wicking is keeping up with my Clapton build. Flavor is quite good. Definitely worth the $18

I took a look at it, ended with them not being able to verify age so no dice.
Give Intaste a try, they much better to deal with anyway.

Cheers bud! Intaste are indeed far superior but they dont have the PEEK AF inserts at the moment. I can wait

I'll continue here, note the screw heads are the same diameter as the sleeves that they are in:

This is not how mine is, mine has them small heads like came with some of the other TGT clones.
Inside the positive sleeve there was an abundance of gunk, lots of it.
I cleaned it really good but used no alcohol (mistake) and it still tastes like monkey milk. I even dumped the first tank.
Other than the above I find it vapes great, a bit more airy than my TGT II's and K5's.
Original or clone....it's a buy

Over all I'm happy with it, the monkey milk taste is gone and the screw heads I can live with.

So I was so impressed with this atty that I immediately ordered another one.....that will make 3...still waiting for #2

Edit: the reducer will be needed.

Oh great. Now I will have to get one. I LOVE my Taifuns but sometimes need more air and hate all other things I have tried to find that

Still luv'n my TGT III clone but have discovered another problem. I thought I'd fix it first and then blab.
When unscrewing the top cap the cap wants to turn the chimney which opens the juice flow.
There are two o-rings on the top of the chimney tube, one seals the chimney to the tank and the other seals the top cap to the chimney. My fix was to install a ever so slightly larger o-ring at the lower spot making the chimney just a fuzz harder to turn.

Just trying to show the screw heads.

The slightly larger ring...larger than a drip tip o-ring????

I used an SAE 7/32" x 11/32" x 1/16"...at a glance it appears the same size that is used already (same as it's drip tip).
1/16" = 1.5875 mm
Not sure but these should be just right Metric Buna O-rings 5.1 x 1.6mm Price for 50 pcs

Thanks for the heads up. I'm having the same problem....I'll just bottom fill until until those rings come in...it worked on the first fill. Probably should have soaked it another couple of hours...not quite Monkey Milk bad.
