I see your point of view, but we'll just have to disagree. It has a slight friction fit, thats why you can move it up and down by pressing on it firmly, it will eventually loosen to the point it won't hold its setting anymore and when you go to tighten the atomizer it will press the center pin...

Actually, the center post coming loose like that is not a good thing long run. It means it's not press fit in there tight enough and will effect electrical connection and will be more susceptible to juice leaking in there. It will also only get looser with time.

I like the clever thinking here!

I've ordered some batts from a couple of different places, but the best delivery service i've had is from battery Juntion, (3 days average shipping), though another member did say his took weeks, though he thought it may be backordered.

Im just curious how he got the lab testing done without paying for it?

What Imeo is suggesting doing is what is called in the thread industry as an "interference thread". It cannot, I repeat, cannot be used in this application, interference threads are only allowable in applications that are not dis-assembled on a regular basis. They can only be used a few times...

The problem lies in the screw in tube, it is free floating, and even when you tighten it down, there is nothing holding it, it will constantly back off and lose it's electrical connection. The only way to remedy this is to tighten it down more, which the batteries won't take as the tops will...

I think it kicks .... that you got in their and did a little exploratory work. When i was younger i took apart a perfectly good radio, just to see all the parts!

I like your thinking outside the box, but Telescoping screw devices have been tried before in electrical applications and don't work as they never hold constant pressure on the battery, it will continually loose contact as it loosens on its own. That is why there are springs in all battery...

I received one too and it was in very poor shape, however, it wasn't from the shipping. It seemed packed well enough for me. It came in a Vhs box with instructions on the vhs box. It was taped inside the Vhs box to keep it from rolling around and was wrapped and this was all inside a padded...

But one shouldn't have to fix a design flaw by covering up the button and body with plastic when you just paid a 150 bucks for it only to cover up existing problems. Not to mention, on the GG i have, you can't put a piece of plastic on the button as the button to collar clearance is too tight...

Yes, i just received a GG the other day and I noticed that was going to be a problem, even if you had a locking button on it, the switch does not need to be depressed to complete the circuit. The design is such that any loose coins in your pocker or any steel that you may lay it against(a nail...

Bump for an awesome looking mod!

Let us pray this doesn't work its way to the US...

Whew, just spent about an hour reading through this thread and I must say, that is a very nice looking unit! Are there any still available?
