I have a few questions on the AFS with the GGTS and would appreciate help.

1) How can you tell where the hole is for up and down? Right now I'm just kind of reversing it when it seems dry, but am I supposed to know up from down? (I saw a hole in the atty, but it is covered by the time I get all parts on, and the AFS parts all twirl around so much, I can't remember where it might be by the time I've got all the parts together. :D)

2) Is it alright to simply disconnect the AFS from the GGTS at night and leave the juice in there, or does it have to be emptied each night?

3) Do I wash out the AFS and all parts with soapy water or do I just wipe them down with a dry ScotTowel/rag when I do a refill? (I assume I treat the atty just like I would a regular atty with a cleaning every 2 days or so. I'm talking just about the AFS container and parts here.)

4) I've treated the GGTS threads with Naolox. I assume this would be part of GGTS maintenance, right?

I'll probably think up more as I go along. So far, it's working much better after Mat's suggestion.

Hi Debbie, good questions here. Ok.


1) Make a mark on the AFS and put the atomizer in the same line with this mark so you will always know where the hole is

2) Yes its safe to simply disconect it and leave it as it is but why to do that?

3) Only clean them with soap and water, nothing else. Dont use chemical products. You dont want to inhale chemicals

4) If you treat AFS threads with noalox then clean them very good with soap and much water.:)

imeo, noalox is a treatment for the threads and should be left on. Simply wipe off any excess.

But yes I put a mark on the outside of my tank and when setting up the AFS I put the holes in line with that mark. If not you are not going to have good luck using the AFS at all. You have to know where those holes are at all times

it has to be removed at least on the AFS threads Vapn. You can leave it there for a while but then you have to wipe it and clean it with soap and full water. I dont know what noalox is but its chemical. If its not chemical then it had to be removed again with soap and water because we dont know what its components can do.

I only put the Naolox on the GGTS threads. I figured putting it on the AFS would get into the juice and/or mess up the o-rings.

I could empty the juice every night, but then I would have to clean the AFS rather than leave it dry with left-on juice. So I figure I would leave the juice in until ready to refill, and then clean. I just wanted to be sure it wouldn't cause any rust problems.

Thanks guys!

Here's my take on your questions, Debbie.

I don't empty or clean my AFS, unless I want to change juice flavours, which isn't very often as I keep one flavour in the current AFS and another flavour in the beta AFS.

I don't remove it from the GG very often either, although it is a good idea to remove your batteries at night (but I don't do that either. 8-o)

You could use Noalox on your AFS threads although you don't want to use it on parts that could come into contact with juice unless you wash it off afterwards - in which case, there's probably no point using the Noalox there in the first place as it's designed to remain in place in the threads.

Noalox is ideal to use on the other threaded parts of your GG though, and application should be repeated every few weeks or so.

Debbie, as for the issue about leaving or not the batteries inside the GG:

I put off the spring of the front cap because I dont need it any more and I just unthread the telescope. I have also stopped locking the button because unthreading the telascope batteries dont contact inside the GG so not only I have locked it but its like having the bateries off the GG.:)

In future maybe I will stop the locking button because its useless now that we have telescope. In my first video about GGTS I had a non locking mechanical button because I didnt need it but people liked the locking option so I left it.

I said that I took off the spring from the GG. I did that because new AFS dont need to turn the laser hole up and down to feed the atomizer properly. Spring is there only for letting the AFS to be turned without GG loosing contact with batteries but if you dont turn AFS and you just turn the whole GG then you dont need spring.:)

hehehehe, Imeo, now I think you might be confusing the issue....... :D:D

Unthreading the TS a bit isn't the way I want to de-activate the device at all..............The locking button is needed because I (and others) don't want their batteries jangling around in the GG when it's in our bag or pockets.

Also, that little bit of "give" that is provided by the spring is useful to ensure that batteries don't get squished by the threading of the mechanism down onto them - there's the possibility of squishing without the spring, and even more possibility if you have to unthread and re-thread the device to de-activate it instead of with the CLASSIC locking GG button that you are famous for now.

ok sweety, I will leave the locking mechanism. GG is the first cig with 2 locking -safe options;);)

I'm in the habit of separating the atomizer from the battery for safety purposes, so since I figure the atty is in the AFS, I would separate them at night.

Ok, so if I lock the GGTS or telescope it, that would work just as good concerning safety as removing the ASF/atty from the batteries. Maybe I'll try that then. I'm not used to having those options. :)

so I'm loving the afs but I've noticed that with the hole down, its not really getting liquid to the atomizer. I have to suck really hard to get even a little.

I'm using tastyvapors liquid which is pretty thin.

Any suggestions?

hi jliu

1) Do you keep GG straight?

2) Do you have an rn4075 catridge with no brown extension?
