Awesome pics, Jralabate! I'm in a co-op for one of these. Paid for it a month ago and still waiting....
I see it for 29.99, how did you get the dropped price?
EDIT: nvm, saw the discount on the checkout page.
OK, calling all Ody pros....
Mine works just fine, albeit I'm using mini vivis because that's all I have for the most part. The problem lies with a hot switch. Now, I don't mean warm as in hand warm or current flowing warm, I mean hot almost burning hot, hot.
Not exactly being new to the forum, I checked in the GGST areas for hot switch topics and the general consensus was that if your switch is hot, your atty has a short. OK.... My mini has a short.
But - it doesn't have a short on my ego or on my meter, it just has a short on my new toy. And it's just the minis that have been rebuilt - the stock heads don't heat up at all. BTW, the phoenix clone doesn't heat up either but then I haven't rebuilt that one.
The problem has to lie somewhere in the coil but for the life of me I can't see where. If it were a hard short, it would simply shut down the ego (or the Indulgence V4) - I had one short out and it did the same thing twice until I figured out what was wrong. It didn't kill the battery, it simply reset it to the off position (where you have to press 4 or 5 times to turn it back on). The coils that are hot are working just fine on both ego and v4. On the CCTS the switch gets melty hot.....
Oh yeah, the head that shorted out metered fine but when a charge was added, it expanded just enough that it pressed back and touched the side of the wall enough to cause the short - there had to be heat before it would short so that's why the meter wasn't detecting the short in pre-tests.....
This isn't a problem with "one" head. This is every rebuilt head I have. Sometimes they seem to work fine for a while but, eventually, they'll start to heat the button and continue to do so until I have to take them off/swap them out or replace with an unmodified head.
So, with all of the expertise around here, can someone please come up with a solution for me. I'd like to be able to use my rebuilt heads mostly because I'm cheap and poor and don't want to have to buy heads (or rather, explain to SWMBO why I need to buy more "stuff").

I just unscrewed the tubes to the point that the threads were barely hidden and there's about half an inch of battery space to play with. I don't have a kick so I don't know how tall it is but it would seem, to me, that there should be room for one.
i hear that the ggts normally takes a 18650, but you must use a 18500 if you want to add a kick.
I just received my CCTS from Steammonkey.com I put a kick in it with a 18500. I also ordered the extension so I can put kick and 18650. Works really nice.

Just got my ccts today.. Holy crap this this is awesome.. And for the price you can't beat it.. Now to save up for a ggts 
U know the CCTS is not a bad mid but.....I wish the button was better. U really have to push somewhat hard for it to make good contact with the negative post. But I just put the button on the inside of my hand so it does not hurt my pinky.

Start doing some pinky flexes and extensions to build it up

My pinky sits underneath in a supporting role I guess. I use the next finger to fire it or the middle finger depending on which hand is being used. Oddly enough, I can't do the same things the same way interchangeably with both hands (something I wasn't aware of until I received this tube set).

It was the last of the Blue Ice I had from myvaporstore mixed with some blueberry I made. Not a huge fan of colored juices but I wasn't going to waste the Blue Ice (really strong menthol icy hot like flavor).
Does look cool with the metal blue drip tip though ... lol
I ordered one of these and it came in the mail yesterday. Been using it all night. not too bad! I don't have any other telescoping mods to compare it to though. Seems pretty rugged and works well. It's a tad rattly but I am not sure if that is because I am afraid to really tighten it down on the battery - don't want to dimple them up?! Anyone have advice as to whether I should worry about this or not?
