Taifun GT Discusion!

[kiba]

oh god the engine nano, if only.

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

I have some 8x1's that I'll give him for sure. I'll get the BT just #becauseTaifun and will probably wait till they are in stock. Made my first order with 2F, they seem to be alright so far, got a Wasp coming from them so we'll see.

I was never interested in a BB but I would like to try out a mech squonker, probably one of those Galactika Hidra's.

The Engine nano will be posted on a local vape buy and sell this weekend for $20CAD, time for it to go.

I'm surprised the Nano hasn't been pimped in this thread yet, kinda one reason I dislike it sooo much, for a while couldn't open a thread without reading how it is such a perfect atomizer, or someone being butthurt because a negative comment was made. Surprised you hung onto your as long as you did

This^ really strange how emotionally involved some people get w/ vape gear. Especially one so obviously flawed.

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.

from the air control-leaks like a sieve sometimes.

 

[chanelvaps]

nano clone top/chimney,

where do you get this? Do you have a link?

 

[chanelvaps]

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.

Leaking happened a time or two when I first got it and then not again for a couple of weeks. Now it is all the time. I guess it is an Oring but just tired of all the changing of the orings and all. Not even sure what sizes it uses. Guess there is a user manual online somewhere that would tell?
I had someone else tell me they got one from 3F and it was awesome, perfectly machined.

Make sure the one (o-ring) at the top of the glass is not out of place. Do this by removing tank from base. Remove chimney and look inside tank from bottom and see if there's NOT a loop of o-ring visible on the inside. That o-ring can be a bugger to get positioned correctly.

 

[kiba]

where do you get this? Do you have a link?

Tbh I'm not sure which one I have, there are two different types on ft, I'm not sure if the one I got is even available bc it doesn't fit the spare glass designed for the other 2... I do remember it came w/ some really smelly o rings that I had to replace.

You might want to try the hussar, it's my fave rn & they have a really good clone now, I got some clone parts for my authentic one and they're really quality, (btw can you believe they don't sell spare authentic tanks by themselves, thank glob for ft right?) anyway it's an amazing vape, I bought the clone mtl adapter which is also not available as authentic.

from what I remember Kiba mentioned the SXK in previous posts so the above is it. I have this one also, quite nicely done. Sadly the Coppervape glass is said to not fit, haven't tried it myself, and replacement glass is nowhere to be found for the SXK.

Coppervape also makes the small one, and typically are close in quality to SXK, as a bonus they offer replacement glass for it. And its a little less expensive, If I ever get caught up on other stuff I want to purchase I'll probably grab one.

I don't really use my full size one much, I much prefer the SXK Mini, not super concerned about the glass it is fairly well protected, but Murphy's law always applies.

Yea, 9.99 plus shipping, more then likely it is the Coppervape version.

 

[benley73]

Nope its more like SXK with Branding , I have Coppervapes version , Sjmy, SXK , and authentic , Coppervapes has plain no branding , but i usually order a few things to justify shipping , otherwise id just go gearbest at 10£ free shipping ,

Gearbest is the absolute last place I order anything. Don't care if its half price. Too many bad experiences with them.

 

[Krrk]

Gearbest has been great lately, most orders packed & sent in hours.
Anyhow, I got this one and liked it so much I ordered two more.
Coppervape TG III MINI RTA 316SS with 2.5ml Capacity-16.37 Online Shopping| GearBest.com
Awesome taste, working flawless so far.

 

[benley73]

Well anything beats fasttech and its crappy services ,
For pushing back dates ,
keeps your money for 2 months then says discontinued the items happened on 3 orders now, last one was Exo rba C1 coil sending wrong or broken stuff out, Or you buy Something at 20£ then offer you 3usd credit , until you argue for a wk or two.

Sadly its a risk with a lot of online retailers , especially all the china ones,
Its a risk you take to either get an item not available anywhere else or cheap enough.

I put an orders in on 25th April at all of them and 2f deals still waiting for it to ship. the Armour RDA isnt in stock , but others are by time it is others wont be arghh
and wont split up order and paid for shipping ,

Same with fasttech but the just mailed me to day to say splitting fasttech order.
says in stock ship 24 hrs then once paid
A daft ever moving ETA pops for the item it said it had in stock happened a few times , an sat waiting for ages like i say months to be refunded , if they do that with Xxx amount of people imagine the interest they gain on the monies sat awaiting refund , 24hr - 48hrs min for a reply , this os prices.
We might pay less with china sites,
But its the constant delays,
Ive Orders in with 3f , fasttech , gearbest and 2f deals ,
I hope they arrive before TDP 20th may , gearbest seems to be quickest shipper TBH in my experience. awaiting a dna 75w C1D2 40£ vape droid , from them and RTA,s and a Aromamiser V2 as a spare back up .and other items ,
3f is around 3wks shipping ,
Awaiting the vapesoon GTV 18 25mm rta from them . Again shipping paid ,

ordered from Gear best once and waited and WAITED and eventually sent an email to cancel. Took a long time to get my account refunded. Never again.

 

[chanelvaps]

Sadly the Coppervape glass is said to not fit, haven't tried it myself, and replacement glass is nowhere to be found for the SXK.

I think this is the first one I bought that had the broken glass upon arrival.

 

[benley73]

That Can happen anywhere , I been lucky up to yet , I have ordered around 140 plus Items from them in past 2 years , and had 200£ plus probably a lot more TBH back in gearbest points ,
and practical stocked up so much stuff saving more than half the prices compared to others everything I might be interested in a favourite it an get notified if on sale some sales are a great Bargain others not so , fasttech and 2f deals are the 2 ive had most problems with 2f deal only just refunded me my money on a Squape x dream single coil deck , from an order start of April but is only site selling it now , So gotta wait as reordered it again ordered 2 , since I passed my Squapes on to a friend and regret it ever since , cant find Squape S rta any where Now [emoji33] , can get the parts but not RTA , just got my 3rd Squape X so this is why want decks , Im not planning on buying many more RTA,s when TDP , not being stuck on 2ml ,
Screw that refilling every 10mins ,

This was me starting to stock up last Autumn , since my pals get them from me if they want anything , rather than 4x cost in UK B&M shops
So i usually buy 2 for me an a few to pass on ,
