Air contol on ggts

[glauserjg]

Is it normal for the air control ring to rattle for the last two turns before it is completely open. It seems like it fits snug for 3/4 of the way up then starts to rattle/loosen till it is completely open. Just wanted to make sure this was normal


Thanks guys

my every day carry does but my 3 reserves don't. I think it's the rubber o-ring getting worn out.

 

[glauserjg]

This one is brand new

This one is brand new

if the o-ring is not worn out put some vaseline on it. It should give it some slidy traction.

I think this is normal because in closed position the o-ring is where the air holes are and should sit quite tight. By opening it more an more the o-ring comes to the position of the thread and won't have that much contact anymore. So by my thinking it should be normal and mine is the same

 

[glauserjg]

I thought that too but some poeple's dont do that, I may try to track down an o ring and try it and see what happens

hmm maybe if you have a different size o-ring it can be that the contact is still tight enough even on the thread, a slightly bigger o-ring should be enough like some third party o-ring kits for example

None of my air control rings rattle, never have not once. I would say that it's not normal.

I think the threads are smaller towards the top on the collector tank, upon closer inspection that seems to be the case

this can be why you feel it loosen up a bit. Other thing is that Imeo said somewhere that some collectors tanks from latest batches may have some problems with threads although i think he was referring to some people having problems to screw in ggts base atomizers so should be the inside threads in these cases

I did try to screw on a zag and it wouldnt screw all the way

its normal glaus. O-ring doesnt make contact with the collector tank in the last 2 turns before it gets full open

All GGTS do that glaus. Its because I didnt find a reason to make o-ring fit on collector tank snag when it doesnt make a difference on air in the last 2 turns

thats irelevant with the control ring glaus. Internal threads of CT may be a problem but control ring isnt a problem. So lets talk about zag:

I cant be sure if its a GGTS problem or a zag problem. If you really want to see who's the problem is, you have to put on GGTS an Ody base and a UFS base. If they both fit then its a zag problem

Thanks for the info Imeo about the control ring; When I tried to put the zag on I just assumed the problem was with the zag as all GG parts go on properly
