Electronic cigarette Eleaf GS: reviews and description

The range of electronic cigarettes Eleaf GS company-manufacturer iSmoka Electronics is represented by a large number of models that can satisfy smokers with a variety of needs.

Cleromizers Eleaf GS14, GS16 and GS Air differ very little from each other. If the main difference between the first two is the diameter, the size of which is in millimeters displayed in the model name, then there is almost no difference between the last two. Some users and even sellers of GS Air accessories sometimes call this Eleam GS 16 Plus, but the manufacturer wanted to select this particular device, and he gave it another name.

The equipment of these devices is standard, there are no unnecessary details in it. The package contains the device itself in a fully assembled state, ready for use. There is also a gift option, differing only in the beauty of the package.

Popular manufacturer from China

ISmoka Electronics was established in 2008 and is based in China, in Shenzhen. She has an excellent reputation, which was ensured by a high level of product quality and an excellent customer support system. Currently, the company has many adherents in Europe, America, Russia and other parts of the world.

ISmoka Electronics is trying to become a leader in the electronic cigarette market, specializing in the production of elegant products of modern design with personalized color solutions. The company provides world-class devices at a competitive price and provides good customer service.

The production is concentrated in four directions: batteries of batteries, atomizers, accessories and sets for beginners.

In the European and American markets, the Eleaf GS atomizer series is very popular, and the review follows.

Design features

The standard configuration includes:

• mouthpiece;
• An atomizer tube;
• Head;
• base.

The mouthpiece is metallic, consists of two components. The part in contact with the liquid container is made of a special plastic resistant to high temperature and having heat-insulating properties. This prevents the heating of the metal part.

The mouthpiece, which is included in the Eleaf GS package, reviews consumers as very convenient and ergonomic, but note its too large size. Since it is removable, it is possible to install in its place a part of a suitable size.

Power, thrust and volume

Eleaf GS14, GS16 and GS Air are very similar to each other both externally and internally. The principal functional differences between the last model and the first two are that:

• The Eleam GS Air cliromizer (2.5 ml) supports the possibility of adjusting the thrust with the screw from the bottom, and in the GS Air 2 modification the air intake is adjusted with the help of a silicone ring;
• GS16 is designed to work with low-power double-helical heating elements;
• The iSmoka Eleaf GS Air BDC is able to hold a power of 20 watts.

This makes GS Air a modernized and improved GS16 clinic. Therefore, when using a 20-watt evaporator, it's best to choose GS Air, and with the eGo battery, it's best to choose GS14 or GS16.

The Eleam GS16 is slightly larger and has less performance, and the GS Air is more compact, but can be used with larger battery packs. For example, as an ideal addition to the S16, the manufacturer recommends a 20-watt iStick.

The GS14 is exactly the same as the GS16, except that it is thinner and holds 1.8 ml refills. This cliromiser perfectly matches the D14 battery, which, in fact, was the calculation. The quality of work fully corresponds to the larger model GS16.

A new addition to the series is the new atomizer GS-Tank. 22 mm in diameter with a volume of 3 ml require a maximum power of 30-40 watts. The head is compatible with many batteries, but iStick TC40W is most suitable for it.

Connection types

The GS series is equipped with a 510 female thread and an external eGo. The thread diameter of the first joint is 6 mm, the pitch is 0.5 mm, the depth is 4 mm. Although they look best with D14 and D16 batteries, they can be used in other Eleaf devices or other manufacturers. According to user feedback, the GS16 fits perfectly with, for example, the Spinner 2 battery and slightly worse with Spinner 1, but the best appearance and performance, however, is achieved with native D-batteries.

Body features

The electronic cigarette Eleaf GS of all models is made of Pyrex glass and stainless steel. This combination of materials ensures the neutrality of the tank, so there is no taste. In addition, the glass is resistant to prolonged exposure to aggressive flavors and does not tarnish with time. To avoid leakage, the parts are adjusted very carefully. The tightness of the connection between the glass and steel is ensured by the glue made of silicone, which increases the reliability of the container. In addition, the presence of glass allows you to instantly control the volume of liquid, which, according to customers, eliminated the problems when pouring. The case is smooth, seamless.

Evaporator and heating element

Evaporator with the necessary resistance can be purchased separately. In addition, there are heads, the design of which allows you to independently wind the spiral with the required parameters. For example, for Eleaf GS Air, rewinding the evaporator will reduce the standard resistance value of 1.5 ohms, which will increase the efficiency of vaporization. The standard heads of the GS series atomizers do not support the user's replacement of the coil, although many buyers confirm this possibility.

The replaceable coil in the GS16 model is available with resistances of 1.8 and 1.6 ohms. The design solution in the form of a double helix provides the allocation of a large amount of steam at a low voltage, which avoids leaks and burnt taste. In GS-Tank there was a heating element made of nickel 200 in the head of GS Air TC with a resistance of 0.15 Ohm.

At GS16 and GS Air, the location of the evaporator is at the bottom, which allows you to generate steam when the liquid level is extremely low. According to users, this significantly improves the taste, since the upper position of the device due to the lack of wettability of the spiral can impart a taste of burning. In GS series atomizers, the liquid in the evaporator is sufficient even when it only covers the bottom of the tank.

According to consumers, replacement of the evaporator should be carried out at least once a week, a maximum of three weeks, as the transfer of taste is significantly impaired.

Chilling of the clinisers is convenient, there is no need to pour the remains out of the reservoir. To do this, simply unscrew the base and refill the stock.

Atomizer Specification

As already mentioned, the Eleaf GS14, GS16 and Air parameters are similar, since they are almost identical. Differences in their size and volume. In addition to the mentioned devices in the GS series, there are shortened variants of GS14S, and GS16S. S-models have half the volume.

Setup and operation

Service atomizer is minimal. It is only necessary to replace the used evaporator from time to time with a new one. When replacing, should be allowed to soak for a few minutes. This will prevent the evaporator from burning out.

To replace the atomizer head, it is necessary to unscrew the base of the device, remove it and replace it with a new one.

The configuration is only needed by Eleaf GS Air, because the GS14 / GS16 does not have traction control. In order for the electronic cigarette to stretch less, it is necessary to screw the screw located on the base of the device. At the same time, the air supply decreases, and evaporation passes worse, the thrust becomes similar to the usual smoking. This is often used to facilitate the transition to steam. If the screw is released, then it will be easier to draw in the air.

Filling of the capacity of the cliromiser is performed by unscrewing the base of the device. Then the liquid for electronic cigarettes is poured into the tank. To ensure that it does not get into the duct, users are advised to use a special bottle with a thin spout. Otherwise, when the device is in operation, the cigarette will bubble and liquid may enter the mouth. Do not fill the tank completely, the optimum level is in the area of 90% of the maximum.

GS-cliromizers allow you to change the coils on the fly, which indicates that there is no loss of solution when replacing the coil with a completely flooded tank. You can buy 1.8 or 1.6 ohm heating elements. The quality of the Eleaf GS coils is called exceptional customer reviews. If the voltage is increased above the usual settings, the burning taste does not arise, which allows you to enjoy a warmer vapor than usual.

When installing a heating element with a resistance of 0.15 Ohm, it is necessary to use accumulator blocks with temperature control. The technology of thermal control will relieve the taste of burning, since with insufficient supply of liquid, the power supply will decrease automatically.

On the advice of users, the wick material needs to be replaced with Japanese organic cotton, which will ensure maximum taste transfer.

To achieve the maximum quality of the steam after buying a new device of the Eleaf GS series, user feedback converges on the need for several cycles of preliminary "break-in". With each dressing, the taste characteristics will become better and better, reaching a maximum value after three cycles.

To facilitate disassembly of the device on its base, notches are made. All connections are sealed with seal rings.

Simplicity and reliability

Reliability and longevity are the main qualities of the Eleam GS series of cliromizers. User reviews celebrate the most simple refueling and maintenance. Devices are included in the middle price category. Quality performance is suitable for all who like comfortable smoking without the taste of burning and leaks.

GS Air is an improved version of the previous ones, which will appeal to lovers of powerful evaporation and, accordingly, a more saturated taste.
