Hello everyone,

So, I placed an advanced order at CoV for a SS GGTS, along with two 18650 AW IMR 2000mah batteries, ss cherry drip tip, and fuse protection.

I wanted to get an Ody or Penelope but it seems that they won't be available for a long time. So I am going to get a DiD repairable or something similar until the Ody/Penelope becomes available.

What else do I need to get for my upcoming SS GGTS? I heard I need multiple adaptors or stealth caps. I'm so confused, so many parts and lot of money for these extra components, and it feels like I will need even more parts after that.

Thanks for your help.

- Louis

WOW Welcome to the GGTS Club. As for the device it will work with straight up cartomizers like Boges, reg attis as well. HH357 Long Barrel etc.

Ok Now if you plan on using 1 battery i strongly recommend staying away from single coils. Go with dual cloils unless you have a kick to slap in there with your one battery. Saying that since you want ot get your hands on a Odysseus and Penelope a few things you need to know. They dont come with a GGTS base. Odysseus does have one but its an addon it doesn't come standard. the base will allow you not to use the 2 adapters to get it to work which will give you a ull 100 percent workable air control system that is on the GGTS.

Ok now if you wan tot use the full 7.4 volts and vape like I do tighten single coils will work and same applies about the adapters and Odysseus and Penelope. Some of my vids how the use of GGTS with boge cartos, Ody, and the QUEEN HERSELF PENELOPE.

I saw your post on the other forum section. I don't want to use cartomizers or regular atomizers since I've been using them for a very long time and would like something new. I specifically want to use a repairable atomizer, such as the Ody or Penelope, but they won't be available for a long time, and that is why I'm going to get a genesis type repairable atomizer.

What do I need to get if I want to use a Genesis style repairable atomizer with the GGTS? Will a single 18650 AW IMR 2000mah battery work with a Genesis type repairable atomizer that has been set to 1.5-1.7ohms?

You don't have to stack batteries. A single battery works fine.

The average voltage of a single 18650 IMR battery is 3.7 through it's drain cycle. It starts off at 4.2 and most people charge them when it drops to 3.2. At a 3.7 average voltage delivery that's 3.7*3.7 divided by 1.5 = 9 watts. You are putting an average of 9 watts through a coil. This is more then enough for the vast majority of people. Most people tend to vape between 7-8 watts so 9 watts is plenty high enough.

The only thing you'll need to get a DID working is a couple widely available adapters. You can check Ariel_MX's posts for a wide range of available adapters. The DID simply won't reach the 510 connection without them.

It happens with anything that has a regular 510 connection. The reason being is that the connection is inside the collector cap which also allows for air control on atomizers, cartomizers, or anything with a natively long 510 connection that draws air from the bottom. That being said a genesis style atty takes air in through the top so the air control won't work with a genesis style atomizer.

You can refer you my post here which has a link to Ariel_MX's GGwiki page so you can see various adapter options. As you can see the collector tank is quite deep so anything with a regular(short) 510 connection won't connect without an adapter. The UFS and Odysseus make native connections provided you have the Ody GGTS base.

Argh, I wish the Ody was available around the same time my GGTS will arrive, which is close to October 30th. Sorry, I'm ranting a bit because I wanted to get the GGTS with the Ody/Penelope but it seems impossible.

Ranting is done. So based on your post, do I need to get the 901 to 510, and the 510 to 901 adapter to get the DiD rep atomizer to work on the GGTS? Slightly confused here, sorry.

The simple answer is yes, you need both adapters in that post in order to get it to work. However that was on a vendors board and they didn't have a different adapter in stock which I feel is slightly better because it makes the GGTS a little smaller.

I am currently using:

1 GGTS Re-threader(Comes included with your GGTS)
1 901 Battery to 808-D Atomizer adapter
1 901 to 510 as in the other post, standard adapter carried by just about every vendor.

This will reduce the overall length of the GGTS by a bit because the adapters connect higher up due to the re-threader. Thus the other side which is were the batter goes sits a little higher up as well making the GGTS a bit shorter. This is NOT a big deal but helps fit some battery combinations.

I'm sorry for going back and forth. So, do you recommend what you are using atm, or do you recommend getting the 910 to 510 and 510 to 910 adapter?

It's functionally the exact same. I don't use either much as I have Odys with bases. Both combinations will have identical results.

Here is the difference between the two combinations:

Since the positive battery pin will come up more a certain combination of battery + kick will fit in the GGTS in stock form if you remove the spring. AW IMR 18650 + Kick + No battery spring will work with the stock unit. That's the only difference between the two combinations.

If you want your GGTS a bit shorter overall use the re-threader + 2 adapters. If you don't care buy either combo.

Functionally no difference.

Edit: I use an 18650 + Kick on 2 of the GGTS's. I found I prefer the look without the telescope fully extended and just use an extra top tube. This is what it looks like with an extra top tube:

No the kick is not strictly necessary.

Just regulates the wattage all through the battery range. A battery will provide different wattage to your coils as it drains which leads to a different vape when it's fresh versus when it's almost time for a re-charge. A kick will keep the watts going to your coil the same all through the battery range.

I'm not sure what you use now but if you have a ProVari or a Lavatube it would be like turning your voltage down as your battery drains. Kick will just keep it constant.

It's a personal preference thing. I use a kick in two GGTS's and not in a third.

Dokebilee, you want something new i would not go with a Genisis in matter of fact I'm going to bite the bullet and see if a friend of mind will loan me his so i can do a comparison between Penelope and that Genisis. I really hate to do this because Gen is not in the same league buit if your interested in to see how it will work on a ggts I cna show you.

Keep in mind GG is like his HIGH END PERFORMANCE CAR say Ferrari for an analogy. a GGTS is just the Motor of a high end Ferrari you still need the right Ferrari transmission for it to blast you to VAPE OUTERSPACE. Genisis is like a ford escort transmission that you plan on slapping on a Exquisite engine like a Ferrari. you be lucky to get the performance of a dual coil carto on that thing.

Now I be willing to give it a fair comparison and give you a honest review if you like in one of my up coming videos. let me know and Ill pencil it in.

I have no choice in choosing between a Ody/Penelope, or a Genesis style atomizer. If I want to get a Ody/Penelope, I would have to wait until November or even December to get one. This is the only reason why I am going with the Genesis, and that is due to its availability. Unless you have a Ody/Penelope you can sell me, I will be going with the Genesis until the Ody/Penelope becomes available.

And like I mentioned in the other post, I am done with Cartos and standard atomizers for now.

What is the difference between a Penelope and Odysseus? It looks like I will need to get what Ezkill suggested for the Penelope.

Ezkill said,

1 GGTS Re-threader(Comes included with your GGTS)
1 901 Battery to 808-D Atomizer adapter
1 901 to 510 as in the other post, standard adapter carried by just about every vendor.

Will this setup offer air flow control if I get a Penelope?
