Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Here is an atomizer already known to all and that its intrinsic qualities have propelled onto the podium of atomizers that matter in the vaping community. Focused on a very high-end positioning, its price is likely to put off more than one. But beyond any price consideration, we find an ato positioned on a “Luxury” market, at a price equivalent to its main competitors. The High-Ends war has already started ...

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

There is absolutely nothing to fault about the build quality and finish. It's even super frustrating for a reviewer to have such an object in their hands when you like to tickle where it hurts. But it is clear that the German Touch struck again with very precise machining, a robust and really flashy finish. It is perhaps not the most beautiful of atomizers, if we had to give a purely aesthetic opinion, but it is undoubtedly one of the most successful on this market share.

Functional features

  • Adjustable positive stud? Yes, through an adjustment by thread, the assembly will be flush in all cases
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, but fixed only
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 1.5
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 1.2
  • Positioning of the air regulation: From below and benefiting the resistances
  • Atomization chamber type: Bell type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Excellent

Reviewer's comments on functional features

No native airflow adjustment on this atomizer. The rendering is therefore rather tight, without being pinched. However, there is an optional 1.5mm ventilation tube that will make the vape more airy. But the bias is decidedly focused on the density of the vapor and the aromas to the detriment of a more airy air / liquid mixture and in the end, perhaps less tasty. Lovers of very airy vapors, go your way. As the other said: “We are the taste….”.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of the drip-tip present: Medium with heat evacuation function
  • Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

Here we enter the realm of the subjective whole. I will only say one thing: it is the drip-tip that I use on all of my atomizers… The drip tip benefits from cooling fins, is very pleasant in the mouth and is perfectly shaped in stainless steel. The opening is rather narrow and therefore corresponds well to the philosophy of the atomizer. But again, it's a personal feeling.

Evaluation of the packaging

  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is beautiful, with a metal box and a foam case suitable for protecting the atomizer in all everyday life situations (except if you are working near a steamroller…). There are no instructions, which is a bit disarming for beginners, but any confirmed will not be disoriented, the atomizer ultimately proving to be easy to assemble.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

In use, like the majority of atomizers, the Taifun Gt requires a small period of acclimatization to find an optimal assembly. But as soon as you find it, there will be no problem. The atomizer is very constant and requires little attention as long as the quantity of material (cotton, silica…) is correct. Neither too much, nor not enough ... No leak in this case, no gurgling, fairly impressive stability even when faced with a temperature difference or a difference in atmospheric pressure (a plane trip for example). The size is important, the weight too, these are factors to take into account at the time of purchase but in the end, in daily use, this atomizer is a Swiss watch ...

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Expensive, not very beautiful, a little dated, the Taïfun Gt nonetheless remains one of the rare references in terms of atomizer. Notwithstanding the quality of its finish which places it in the firmament of well-turned objects, it is especially the quality of its vape that impresses. A dense and precise vape, which manages to sublimate any liquid that pours into its tank. The smallest bit of scent, even discreet, becomes obvious with this ato.

Of course, it will not satisfy lovers of more aerial flow who will turn to other steam chimneys. But it will delight the epicureans of the vape, the gourmets, who will appreciate its stability, its ease of assembly once it is mastered and its insolent facility to withstand the test of time.

We will only find one real flaw at a time when the vape calls into question and or the novelties bloom like buttons on the nose of a teenager, it is not to have a successor yet. Indeed, its many fans are waiting for a second version, perhaps more sexy, with an adjustable airflow and perhaps (one can dream) a price slightly more contained.

But that would be sulking our pleasure ... simply vaping, having changed your coil in five minutes and feeling all the power of a fleshy vapor like no other and full-bodied and refined flavors like a voluptuous breast. Because the Taifun GT is synonymous with voluptuousness. This is all his art.
