My Temperature Sensing Experience

View attachment 27111

OK I finally get this temperature sensing story... after having almost given up I tried the Taifun GT 2 thanks to a recommendation by @Philip Dunkley and it's a simple and easy build. OK my first try was a disaster of note and ended up with a full tank of juice all over my SX Mini and my hands and desk... but it's because the tank is unlike any other tank I have ever used and the ring around the base goes up and down and needs to be up when you close the tank and fill...

I used 28g Nickel on a 2,5mm screwdriver with 9 wraps for a resistance of 0,14Ω. The temp is set to 200C and I'm firing it at 18 Joules with the airflow pretty tight to get a mouth to lung inhale... so so good!

I'm using the Lemaga Clone from Vape King (http://vapeking.co.za/taifun-gt-ii-clone-by-lemaga.html) and as clones go it's a pretty good clone and I have just ordered 2 more to use as juice testers because finally I have a tank that gives awesome flavour!

And now I'm off to find an authentic.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

@Rob Fisher - glad to hear you got a good vape!

I know this is the a temp sensing thread, but am interested to hear about the Taifun 2. How does the vape compare to your cyclone? And what juice did you have in it?
 
Also, forgot to add, @free3dom and @Philip Dunkley , I know you guys like the Taifun2
I am also interested because i like my mouth to lung vaping

Where would you say it fits in versus the Lemo 1 and Lemo 2 for example? Just so I can get some kind of reference. Vape action, flavour.

My experience with the Lemo 1 and 2 is that I slightly prefer the vape and the draw and the flavour on the Lemo 1 (low powered cooler MTL, menthol juices). I find it crisper which for me is more enjoyable. But the Lemo 2 wins in the convenience department (top fill is the main advantage for me)

Rob try increase your temp as I found minimal vapour and flavour at the bottom end of the temperature settings.

It compares very favourably Hi Ho @Silver! It's a similar experience to when I got my first Nautilus after having used mPT3's... it certainly is a WOW difference after all the SubTanks, Arctic's and other tank systems I have been trying... I was on the verge of giving up on tanks forever... I'm going to test this one for a while before I do my final review because often I get unhappy with a device after the initial excitement of a new device wears off... but I did order another 2 from Vape King last night because I know this is a "different tank" and the flavour is substantially better than all the other tanks!

And for the test I used straight Tropical Ice. ;-)

Will do @capetocuba! I'm going to give it a FULL test at different temps, power and with different juices. I'm using Tropical Ice with this first test and the flavour and clouds are surprisingly good and pretty close to my beloved Cyclone on a REO!

Temptations! What a pleasure to see a proper manual for a change. Attached for anyone interested.

Thanks @Andre! I wish I had read that before my first attempt! :D My first fill was a disaster... and then I realised the ring has to be clicked up. ;-)

This tank design is very different to any other thank and the vape experience is different to all the others!

The Taifun GT 2 actually has adjustable airflow, and while fully open is quite as airy as other tanks like the Lemo or SubTank, it's plenty airy enough for lung hitting. Closing down the airflow then converts it nicely for mouth to lung.

Flavour wise it's on par with the Lemo 1 and for some juices I even prefer it. It has a very interesting coil placement, with the airhole directly underneath the coil and plenty of space all around for the air to travel - this, coupled with the smallish chamber, is what I think is responsible for the great flavour coming off the device.

The Taifun GT 2, like the SubTank is also one you can get to the coil/wick without emptying the tank. And filling is a breeze. My personal favourite though - and the reason I initially fell in love with it - is the fact that it is the easiest RTA by far to coil and wick. It is almost 100% dry hit proof - unless you let it run empty :p

The quality of the clone isn't 100%, but I don't have leaks or any real issues with the device - and for the price it is actually quite good.
