Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Taifun GT offers a flawless manufacturing quality and finish.
This reconstructable atomizer is a model of simplicity for your assemblies, in fact the ring of the atomization chamber can be lowered or removed if you wish. Leaving room for your resistance.

  • 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: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The air flow arrives below your resistance, you can play on the distance of this one to either improve the hit, or for the production of vapor.
Note that the basic airflow is 1.2mm, it can be changed by a tube sold separately, to pass it to 1.5mm

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 3.1 / 5 3.1 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Taifun GT is a fairly simple atomizer, but requires time to complete the ideal assembly.
Indeed, having made resistors in 1.5mm and 2mm in diameter, placed the resistance more or less high in the room, and more or less cotton, we will have to persevere for the amount of cotton, because either you will have gurgles and therefore an airflow leak, or either it will be too dry.
Also, depending on the viscosity and the amount remaining in the tank, there may be occasional gurgles and leaks.
Condensation in the chimney being inevitable, the liquid will fall by gravity in the room, and therefore from time to time the same phenomenon will occur.
Don't panic, you just have to put the atomizer upside down, shoot with the mod, and blow through the airflow hole, this will remove the excess liquid, unless your assembly is not good ... 🙂

  • With which mod model is it advisable to use this product? Dicodes mods, or box mods, or any other mod with a smooth signal
  • With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
  • Description of the test configuration used: Taifun GT at 1.7oHms, cotton microcoil on 2mm in diameter, Pipeline Pro adjusted from 12w to 14w + IPv3 adjusted from 14w to 15w, liquids in 60/40, 50/50, 20/80
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: cotton microcoil on 1.5mm to 2mm in diameter, resistance of 1.2Ohms to 1.8Ohms + a good electronic mod, liquids in 50/50, not to exceed 15w

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Despite its age, the Taifun GT is still a reference in the world of vaping.
Its excellent rendering of aromas, its ease of assembly, and its manufacturing quality make it a must have!
We regret the diameter in 23mm.
Plexiglass allows the use of certain corrosive liquids, but within certain limits. You will have to be careful in the event of a fall because it is not unbreakable.
Good news for iron breakers, there is a fully stainless steel tank, which will offer strength and resistance to the most corrosive liquids, while giving another aspect to your setup. (this is the model I use every day), the faults will be that you will no longer see the fluid level but also the weight!
There is also a surprising accessory, a dripper kit to transform this atomizer!

Everything is removable for deep cleaning and maintenance kits are available.

The positive stud is adjustable thanks to a crusiform screw held in place by a spring, and it is very rare to have contact concerns.

Note that it is possible to have a drop of liquid on the positive pad, but do not worry, it will never be the flood!
