It's got a learning curve but all things considered it's a pretty small one.I can see I've got a lot to learn. This aint just "fill 'er up with juice and vape".

And we have a thread here for new fsk users

Lmao 3 clicks of the fireI'm reading the new users thread again now. Somehow I gotta figure out how to get this bitch offa 700 degrees!!
The temp and fsk, in xxx mode, do not have a direct relationship in the sense that a lower temp needs a higher fsk to fire. Fsk sets the coil TO fire. Say you like 420 degrees at 45 watts. Set that then set the fsk until the coil fires. Now 420 is a little hot and you turn it down to 400. It should still fire.OK. I've got the menu figured out but I haven't been able to get a good vape in TC with this little tank. If I turn down the temp, I have to turn the FSK up to about 7.5 to get it to fire so it's still a hotter vape than I'm used to. I've got it in digital watts mode for now until my rda gets here with some better coils.
in the meantime, I'm gonna have to mix up some juice with a LOT less nic. I'm experiencing a little bit of overload right now.
I'm gonna have to work my way up.
If you can tc his you may have to set the watts higher so there is less lag time. You understand lag time with bulk. Just feel it out. You will be fine.My rda hasn't got here yet so I'm not using Ray's coils yet which arrived in the mail this morning. Right now I'm using a spare GS Air 2 tank from one of my iStick Basics. It's just a 30 watt coil to begin with so I figured it wasn't strong enough for the TC to work right.
It's probably hot because I'm not used to a "real" vape yet.
Yeah and it ain't fun getting throat fucked.....yeah, funny story. As soon as my batteries charged, I stuck 'em in the G2 and started trying to learn all the settings and menu choices. I screwed on the tank and switched into XXX mode to try out the TC.
About that time my son-in-law came by and I was showing it off and hit the fire button to blow a nice cloud for him forgetting the temp was set on 700 degrees! To quote the illustrious @MannyScoot, I got throat fucked by Satan!
Needless to say that cotton is shot. As soon as the wife settles down from gardening all day I'll get her to put me in a new coil and I'll try TC again - this time at a more reasonable temp...maybe 300 to start with!
I kept hoping the nasty taste would eventually fade but it's obvious it's not gonna so I'll try again shortly.
Is this your first TC mod or do you have previous experience with TC? The reason I am asking is that the G2 in FSK mode is a poor learning platform for someone who is just starting into TC. A temperature of 300°F shouldn't actually produce anything that even resembles a decent vape let alone clouds.

Experience with one of the Plug and Play TC mods like a DNA, YiHi, or even the ChiNee Tri-Fecta of Joyetech, Wismec or Eleaf will give you a good starting point with what to basically expect from TC. The FSK chip can be quite finicky sometimes and will require occasional tweaks or resetting the cold resistance of your tank. If your build is not up to stuff or you have an atty that just does not want to play in TC (janky screws/posts) you will bang your head trying to get it dialed in with FSK mode. Whereas putting that tank onto one of the plug and play mods would immediately show a problem by dropping into power mode etc...
If you have an idea of how TC works on those mods, it is much easier IMHO to get the G2 tuned perfectly or diagnose when there are problems.
Either way, we are here to help!
I've been using an iStick Basic which is just "charge the battery, fill 'er up with juice, and vape 'til it's empty" !
Nothing is impossible to learn, especially when there is this great thread and mjag's first time user guide.Yeah, I'm a virgin.
I wanted the G2 because I've read posts from so many respected members here raving about how good it is. I knew it would be a learning curve but not impossible, right?
I've got some alien coils from Raymo2u here in front of me just waiting on my Innokin Eurus RDA to get here which is identical to the Desire Mad dog except for the engraving. Once it gets here, I'll assemble everything and go from there.
On a side note, this little tank I'm using - vaping the last half of the tank, I run it at 20 watts. When I fill it up I have to turn it down to 17 watts until about half a tank is gone or I taste singed cotton. I never let the tank get dry before I refill and even then it sits for a minute or so before
I hit the fire button. My juice is about 75/25 VG. I haven't noticed this before. Hopefully, Monday my rda will be here and this little tank will go back where it belongs.

Well that is quite the jump from an iStick Basic to a pair of aliens in a dripper, good on ya!
The GS Air might not be feeding properly when it is full, could be why you have to turn down the power. I picked up a GS Air a year or more ago due to all the hype at the time. I don't even think I got through one full tank before it was cleaned, put back in it's box and piffed. Just not the tank for me, I did enjoy Kayfun's and Taifun's back then, but that GS Air brought back horrible memories of the Kanger Genitank.
It would have been easier if you had a "solder-sucker". It's a pen type soldering iron with a squeeze bulb on it to remove the old solder as it melts. Looks like you got it under control, though. Good work.
Did you get an email when yours was shipped out?
I ordered mine on a Friday, also. They shipped it on Monday, but didn't send tracking info until Tuesday. I got it on Wednesday, lol.I ordered one from them last Friday and haven't heard a word yet about it being shipped yet
yeah I think mine arrived before i ever got a shipping notice lol
Give ya' $5 for it and I'll even pay shipping.
Don't know if I really need this.
link to download? some of us Trahalds don't have Facebook.

yeah I noticed a lot of shit missing. I'm going to flash back to the last firmware because I liked having all the SS options! really don't like the oil rig logo, the bell is cool but I never shut my g2 off so that's a useless logo. bah, maybe this is a unofficial leaked firmware or some shit.... disgruntled employee releasing half ass firmware... who knows. 10w + means nothing to me except as a wow factor cause two 18650 can't push that kind of power for long anyways.The 181W_.dfu firmware...
Rig Mod Logo and words on Startup and the Cracked Bell on Shutdown.
It does go to 181W. It has the old AIM menu with the Vape Porn title, all the SS presets are gone and no W preset. So without any details about what the minor battery and temp curve enhancements are, I doubt the update is worth an extra 10W. I didn't bother playing with the sole SS preset, Kanthal or XXX mode, just flashed 2.5.7 back on and moved along.
If HT are not going to continue with proper updates, then possibly release the source to the firmware community. I could easily enjoy a variant of ArcticFox on the G2.
