GGTS flooding?

[deesigner]

I put about 10 drops of liquid into the GGTS tank system, when i draw it pulls all the liquid up into the top where the atty is. Initially I was getting a fantastic vape, the best ever, this lasted until I could taste it was running a bit dry. I put another 10 drops or so into the tank and then tried to vape, I just got a mouth full of fluid and a totally drowned atty!

Any ideas from you lovely lot

I've never used the AVS/AFS systems so can be no help to you Dee, very sorry . . . have you had a look on Youtube for some demo vids?

Failing that, Hifi is an expert on the TS feeding systems, perhaps he'll look in later or send him a PM.

I've just found how to fill it, LOL. I'll been filling the overflow tank not where the attie is Hopefully it's all working again now, although I'm having to stick at 3.7volts as my new 5v charger doesn't work.....

[hifistud]

Eek!! Yes, the collector tank isn't really meant to be a fill point!!

[deesigner]

I wouldn't mind Hifi but it worked amazingly the first time

[hifistud]

Yes, it can do that! The learning curve with the TS and AFS/AVS/UFS can be steep. Can be? Is! But, once you;ve got to grips with it, the system is hard to beat.

Hifi do you find yours is heavy on juice? I seem to have used nearly 15ml of juice already! Eeek.

[hifistud]

15ml in how long? I've done 10-11ml a day for the last eighteen months, so I really don't know what folks think is heavy. The UFS is no heavier on juice than any of the other devices I have. Depends, I suppose, on the atty you've got in - I'm currently dragging on a Cisco 2 ohm 510 in my UFS, with an eastmall 1.5Ohm 510 on my pre-production UFS - and I get through about the same on each...

[deesigner]

I was using about 2ml a day with my Riva LOL! I only got the AVS working yesterday, but actually there is still some in it and i lost a lot by filling the wrong bit!

The good thing is I'm not wasting it like I have been doing while dripping

Make sure when the you are screwing the attie in that the air ring is closed and the tank is all the way open. Then once the attie is screwed in close the tank all the way down. I made the mistake of not opening the tank to put the attie on, the seal is then broken and when you open the tank with juice in it, it dumps the lot into the collector tank. Or if your a fool it comes straight off and you get sticky jeans.

LOL Jez, I've had a couple of miss haps when opening the top. I've learned now to close the air intake and hold the tank over the top of my juice bottle (with pourer off of course) It's not easy changing the blooming atty! I've watched a couple of you tube vids which have been really helpful.

I've got a bit of juice leaking out onto the top of my battery, not sure what's causing this. It's coming from the collection tank through to the battery connector. I'm unsure as to whether the little tiny o rings need replacing?

[hifistud]

It's all about the seals - each of the o-rings needs to be properly seated, and you do need to make sure that any juice which is dripping down out of the atty is cleared before you screw the AVS/AFS back into the collector tank. If you're getting juice through the centre pin o-rings, check they're proerly fitted and not perished or withered. The AVS can be a bit bothersome to get set up, it's true to say, but once you've got it set, it's pretty much faff free...

[deesigner]

Hifi, how do I know if the tiny o rings are in the right place on the pin? I've looked at the set up vids on you tube, but can't see how these tiny little blighters should go

[hifistud]

They sit inside the plastic collar that the centre pin slides into - they shoud be out on the pin after the outside ring, and the nut, so that they seal in the collar by pressure from the nut that screws into it...

[deesigner]

Think I may have just found the problem, one of them is broken!
