VB taifun GT clone (can be set up as spheroid)

[djs]

My ticket is "awaiting a reponse".

However, I did find an open one, from July. Duly closed with thanks.

(whoops)

VB have said it has a SS deck melitahams but you never know. Is yours sent out by Sweden post? I have found the tracking very good on that using a combo of VB links from email, Sweden post tracking and Parcel farce..

Mine is out for delivery today so I'll get back to you

How did you set yours up

[Deleted]

Just with 3 strands of wick and 4 wraps of 0.2 kanthal. Great vape. Even better on old vamo at 8w ...takes loads of juice. Only problem I have is that one of the connector points on the deck is loose and just comes completely out rather than just unscrew for the wire Legendgadget

Shame you had one issue I used 3strands of 2mm silica and a 2mm flavour wick on top

Yes I know that I have to wait for it more but I still can't track it

NIghtmare!!!. Yeah I just can't wick it now since flooding it mid afternoon. Finding a slow needle fill from the top better than bottom fill but still. It was flooding like mad earlier but now is just not behaving...

At least I have other vape stuff

Don't know but is it possible to get another screw a bit thicker than the one you have loose and see if it can be threaded again ? if so first try a metal one than the ss

On the taifun I got from ft I filled the tank upside down I saw a vid somewhere never had no flooding and with the three 2mm silica and 1 piece of 2mm silica flavour wick on top never had a problem rewicking

Jane  ...  The first time I set mine up (3 x 2mm silica with 3/4 wraps of 0.2 Kanthal giving 1.5 ohms), I cut the wicks at about 2mm from the edge of the chamber. When I filled the tank and screwed in the base, I noticed that the wicks disappeared into the slots and the juice came pouring out of the air hole   ...  I stripped it down and recoiled as before but this time I cut the wicks so that they almost reached down to the base threads (about 5 mm long). I then refilled the tank and screwed on the base and everything worked perfectly with no leaks, gurgles or dry hits.

I find that the draw is a little airy for my liking but other than that it is a fantastic vape and so easy to set up and refill.

One thing that I have noticed and needs watching is that when screwing the little cap onto the chamber (the bit with the two slots), you need to hold the chamber tightly as it is prone to rotating and knocking the wicks off centre.

I hope you get the loose screw issue sorted soon and get to enjoy what is a terrific RBA 

ETA: If you can't get the loose screw issue sorted, place an order with FT for a replacement base ... only about £3 but they won't have them in stock until after Christmas.

On two reviews I watched they said about flooding but the flavour wick stopped it from flooding that's they only reason I used one. Also when I fill the tank and screw together it gives an optical illusion to me that the wicks have sucked in but when opened back up all is fine
