My stash is not as impressive a D's. I have not collected all those mini bags with blue screwdrivers that are EVERYWHERE and a few days ago my cat was playing with one so I can safely say I have one either under my fridge or under my stove

Oh, I forgot to post what I ordered for #4,here:
5941600-7.jpg

$20.27 GT III Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 304 stainless steel + glass / 5ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
They state that this one is 304 stainless and originally said it had a PC tank liner, similar to what another site said about their Shenray GTIII, both sites changed their listings to say glass liner.
This comes in a metal box "styled" like the authentic.
I have no hope of ever seeing my #2 with it's package of 5 glass liners, just have that feeling, perhaps I'll be surprised.

You did notice the stated diameter on this one? interesting to see if it is accurate, or a mistake. If it is correct its on my list as well, if I like them. Mine is somewhere between Chicago and Canadian border of Minnesota, hopefully I'll see it soon.
I didn't till now, that would be interesting, probably a typo.
The went so far as to clone the box, I doubt if they would make a change such as that.
Edit: I think the box might not be the same after all.

any computer people on here? I have done something that has caused my email account to get a notification every time anything goes on in the forum that concerns me. Any like, any alert etc.
I contacted an admin and they advised to uncheck all boxes in preferences and alert perferences. The box that says "receive notification" was already unchecked but I did this anyway and even somehow lost all my emoticons. The problem is not solved. This seems to have happened right after I cleaned up my Google account. (removed old, installed new and renamed it)
I wonder if there is a correlation? ANYBODY? Please help. I cannot see the forest for the trees.........
I have the same problem. Suddenly I'm getting email notifications although I long ago deleted the Tapatalk app on my iphone. It was too difficult for me to use the mobile app. What I did was to click the link at the bottom of the email. That took me to this page: Tapatalk Blog – Latest News and Feature Spotlight – How to Unsubscribe from Emails Uncheck everything and Save. Hope that works! If not, I can always specify that any gmail from Tapatalk should go to my Spam folder.

Well I was going to measure pixels again and compare it to the known size of the 510. But after looking at a few of the others, the following linked one led me to a review video done by a FT member. In this video he uses a VTC mini, and it appears to be a flush fit, FT also lists this one at 22mm. So, it does appear at least one cloner did do a 22mm. The range of FT listings are 22, 23, and 23.6. no idea if they actually are, but at least the one I linked appears to be.

Thinking back to the GSII, Hotcig did a 19, 22, and 23. the 23mm was even before it was actually a real thing from Smokerstore. Seems like we get a little strangeness with the Taifuns.

Who knows, guess I'll try one of the 22mm, and the SXK Mini.
Depth
22 mm
Height 72 mm
Width 22 mm
Liquid Volume 5 ml
Product Weight 82 g
$16.61 Taifun GT III Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 304 stainless steel + glass / 5ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

You can see it on the VTC Mini starting around the 11 minute mark.

Yeah I saw that it says 23.6, the one I have coming tomorrow morning is listed as 23.6 as well. But here is a screen grab from the video, I know the VTC Mini has a skin on it, but still looks to be less than 23.6mm

Yeah it says GSL, I have one, but it was on FT before the authentic was released. Probably why it wasn't quite 1:1.

3F listed the SXK mini, think I'll probably grab one of them when it hits ship24, looks quite nice from the pics.

Well the mail man was pretty good to me today, Scndrl mech, Sbody Macro, Infinite limited edition Brass Zero, Petri, and last but not least my 316 TGTIII. Glad he made it before the snow flies, up to 18 inches going to drop here in the next 48 or so hours :ohmy:

Anyhow, as mentioned before, threading is a little sharp, not bad but needs the edge taken off, the rest of it is quite nice. Fit/finish is pretty nice, JFC is a little on the stiff side, does not move at all when removing top cap.

No machine oil or grime, exceptionally clean. Gave it a quick dish soap/tooth brush treatment.

First build, parallel .26g 317L 3mm ID coil coming in around .3. No leaks drips, laid on its side, rode in my pocket for a few hours, flawless performance. While it did not dethrone my Merlin, it is a great tank. Temp mode seems to be stable, with the 510 pin cranked tight it still protrudes just a little bit.

Only negative thing I can say about it is the heads of the screws could be better.

The first Merlin I bought the JFC was fairly loose making it easy to unwittingly close it off, I lapped the bottom edge slightly which put a little more pressure on the o-ring increasing the tension slightly. Once that was done no way to accidentally move it. My subsequent Merlins were all good and tight.

Raven's Moon tall chimney peeking around the corner... :D

Not to derail too much, but how's the Petri?

I like it for the most part, bought the SXK, very well done, plating very nice. Flavor is nice, easy but sort of fiddly to build. Doesn't work well for anything below 24G wire. Very thirsty, drinks the 2ml in short order, no leaks at all, fill slots in the top cap could be bigger. Sort of falls in the Ravens Moon category, different, decent enough vape, but not something Ill use daily. I'd buy it again Goes nicely on my brass $20 Infinite zero which I'll be putting a DNA60 in.

On topic...

The more I use this TGTIII the more I like it, really is a nice tank.

MMW, I only have the 316 version from 3F so far, going to order the SXK Mini version soon. I'll say the one I have is pretty decent the only slight negative I can mention is the threading is a little on the sharp side. The one I have, the Shenray, and SXK should be good choices.
