I thought at the start the BT was going to be like my Genelocity's, but it is much better! Finally a use for my sheets of mesh, glad I kept it all.
Wow [emoji15] can you show more pictures (never saw one before)

Did you see the successor (released a few weeks ago), the Gelite²?
I use Tencelgarn in all my top-coilers as a transporter instead of those steel cables. Super-fast wicking and additional tank volume (those cables take a lot of space).

I have to ask what is Tencelgarn??? I never heard of it let alone for wicking? The only thing that has kept me from wicking my Origin tank with cable is the thought of having to go anywhere near a blow torch. I enjoy the hobby and hope to keep from burning down my home or setting myself on fire in the process.
This was the last build I had in the Genelocity Giant, a pair of notch coils.
This is the deck where the SS Cables go in, they transport the juice up from the tank to your coil wick.
Wow [emoji15] that's awesome I missed so much good stuff

Tenecel is a brand name for lyocell and is very similar to Rayon. It's made from wood cellulose like Rayon but it is manufactured in a more environmentally friendly way. Tencelgarn is yarn made from lyocell.
I only torch the SS cable to get any manufacturing oils off of it, then either mesh or Ekowool goes over top of the cable.
Yes I watched Dirk's review with CC translation on so I picked up "most" of the gist. It's a good looking tank. I like the build deck, many coil configuration options.@TrollDragon

I am always looking for ways to increase tank capacity.
I don't think we have anything like that readily available here in Canada. Which Tenecelgarn do you recommend? I would assume they make an natural one without dyes.
I really enjoy the industrial look of German designed tanks. Most vapers see them as air hose fittings...
I got mine from Vegane Wolle und Zubehör fürs Stricken und Häkeln | Vegarn - Pflanzliches Strickgarn und Zubehör - the "nature" one.I am always looking for ways to increase tank capacity.
100g/165m for 9€, should last a lifetime and then some.
While not my style of vaping is it is peeking my interest.
If they show up "styled" I do believe I'll get one

It has already been confirmed by Jane Shenray they will be doing one, Shenray is now SER. I doubt this one will slip through the nets and expect SXK, SJMY, Coppervape, and probably Eyecotech to be in the mix as well. I actually messed around a bit using mesh as a coil so this one interests me
LOL, Jane Shenray just posted her authentic she just received on there Farcebook page, give them a bit of time to measure and make the CAD file, should be seeing a clone listed soon..
(ignore the display, just did some TC testing)
Too early for any assessment, but yeah, it's different.

Nice , will try the Shenray version when its out , then decide if worth the price for original , [emoji106](ignore the display, just did some TC testing)

The Shenray has been put up on preorder status at a couple different China vendors, SER (AKA Sheray) have posted un-assembled pics of there first run. prices between $29 and $31 so far.
I love my Taifun 3 more than any other tank but the leaking has started and I am perplexed at how this happens. I have tried to wick it fuller and get burnt hits. I never lay it on its side

How/where is it leaking? I use the authentic lower bits with the nano clone top/chimney, but I've never had it leak a drop except if I forget to close off the jc when filling or get too lazy to find the drip tip.
Even then it doesn't really leak, some juice just collects inside the lower deal.
I've been using the hussar a lot more than the gt3 though lately. Now that was a leaker when I first got it, had to send it back twice.

I have a full size Eyecotech clone, and the SXK mini, the full size I have seems a bit more sensitive to wicking. Full cup, light and puffy is what it likes, Mini is a bit more forgiving.
Since you seem to be indicating your leaking issue is a new thing are you sure it isn't a nicked/wore poor quality o-ring somewhere in the top?
Again guess I got lucky on my Hussar, no problems at all with it, I'm not super fond of the Hussar good tank, good flavor, but a tad tight on the air flow for me. pretty much same opinion I have on the Vapor Giant Mini AKA Shenray SR V4.
Doris from 2F is touting the Shenray clone of the new Taifun as being done as well as the SR V4, which is amazingly well machined.
@TrollDragon If you get a chance checkout my amazingly simple 100% fix for the weeping Merlin 1x 8x1 o-ring and 10 seconds. posted in the Merlin thread.

Excellent fix for the Merlin and makes perfect sense!
I have no more Merlin's, I piffed them both to a friend. I will get him a pair of o-rings and show him your fine fix!!
I'm really interested in the BT, just dying to get the mesh out again!
Yea I saw you mention that somewhere, maybe on you exit post to the thread. I think you mentioned Pif in that one, and thought the recipient may benefit. go with the 8x1 though, as the 10 pops off every time you remove the tank, and makes for the tiny gap, 8 cures those issues.
As much as I hate pre-orders I have $20 worth of credit at 2F, so I'll only have to add $10 to it for the BT order, was holding on to it for an SXK billet box, but poor supply numbers from SXK put me off on that. Hopefully supply will meet demand before they decide to discontinue that one.
BT is interesting, but from my playing around with mesh coils not sure how good it is going to work. OTOH it certainly won't be the first dust collector I've bought
At risk of bringing a little hostility forth It can't be much worse then the Engine Nano
