Anybody buy a GG fuse yet?

[imeothanasis]

I took the extra spring out and then cleaned and sanded everything once again. I swabbed everything with alcohol to remove any dust from sanding. I also sanded the top of the fully assembled fuse axis again. I checked the resistance and everything checked out okay. I found that if I overtightened the GGTS (not extremely overtightened, but firmly) when I assembled everything back together, I got vapor that was extremely close if not exactly the same as when I had the original spring axis installed. Everything was working normally. Unfortunately, all that pressure caused the adjustable atomizer pin to press the bottom of my atomizer up into itself, and has caused the atomizer to fail. I pulled the atomizer bottom out again, but it only works until the pressure causes it to malfunction again. I am currently using a different atomizer, and everything seems to be working normally (I have not overtightened this one). The problem with the fuse seems to have been completely alleviated, but I have unfortunately failed at pinpointing the exact cause of the previous problems. I will update if anything else changes. By the way, did I mention that I LOVE my GGTS #348? I think we're bonding!

Ten, one question friend. Do you use cr123A batteries and the plastic at the negative pole takes up a lot of space of the pole?

 

[tenfour]

No, I use one protected UltraFire 18650 3.7V 2400 mah.

ok. Did you use always the same battery at your tests with fuse?

 

[tenfour]

No, I have two which I would swap from time to time.

I asked because I have dirt to the negative pole of my batteries often Ten. I leave my GG dirty all the time to see what will happen so I can prevent problems before they come to my customers

I can see where dirt buildup could become a problem. I was not worried about dirt, however, as all my things are new. I bought the batteries and charger the same day I bought my GGTS. I still swapped the batteries just to make sure one wasn't malfunctioning and causing the problems.

i need new fuses, 2 down for the count.. dont ask me what happened because im not sure... Where can i get new ones?

 

[wood_510]

Man I'm going to buy a ton of the fuses after reading portguy's thread... They seem to work great..

Contact Rob at Vapor Kings - DSE801, DSE901, Joye510 and KR808D-1 e-Cigarette supplies should hold stock

I had the same problem with tenfour for 3 days !...I was playing with the fuse and suddenly the GGTS worked like a train again ....I cant say what happened because I really dont know what was the problem...I guess it was something with the sape of the fuse...

It is a contact problem. There is not another explanation. The spring dont make the right contact because it needs stretching, or the bottom of the fuse is dirty from machining. If we sand the base of the fuse axis and the spring's base and we extend it a little then there will be no problem at all. Of course I blow all fuses after machining prossedure but maybe some pieces of metal stay there in some of them

I agree that it is definitely a contact problem. I didn't isolate which component was the cause of the contact problem with mine, but it has been fixed nonetheless. I recommend to anyone else who comes across this issue: Thoroughly sand every part of the fuse kit that requires contact (the spring, the bottom and sides of the inside of the fuse axis, the threads of the fuse axis cap, and the top of the fully assembled fuse axis). After thoroughly sanding all parts which require contact be sure the spring is stretched long enough so that it will make firm contact with the bottom of the inside of the fuse axis. Then, be sure to clean all parts to remove any residual dust or debris left over from sanding or the machining process. I used a cotton swab (Q-tip) and 90% isopropyl alcohol to clean mine. After doing all this everything should work without any issues. I hope this helps

I didnt knew that all were ok Ten! I feel better now buddy

Yes, everything is working perfectly now. My last attempt was successful (I fixed it), but I didn't find out which exact component was causing the connection issue. With my above method, however, the issue should be solved for anyone else having the same problem because everything will be in perfect condition after they use that method and there will be no connection issues. Thanks for all your help and input, Imeo. It's nice that you are available to help if any issues occur!

I am here always Ten! And I will be glad to serve you again (I think it will be not nesessary from now on)

Hey all,

I'm having the same issue with my fuse regarding significant current loss...What seems to be the first step, or should I just sand everything?

To be sure your issue will be fixed, try this method. It is comprehensive and will fix the issue, regardless of which component is causing the contact problem:

I recommend to anyone else who comes across this issue: Thoroughly sand every part of the fuse kit that requires contact (the spring, the bottom and sides of the inside of the fuse axis, the threads of the fuse axis cap, and the top of the fully assembled fuse axis). After thoroughly sanding all parts which require contact be sure the spring is stretched long enough so that it will make firm contact with the bottom of the inside of the fuse axis.

Thanks tenfour!

Just finished doing everything, and am about to give it a go...I'll report back!

 

[mre5674]

Sanded, swabbed, the whole shebang...Still feel a noticeable difference!

I had the same experience. I did the above method multiple times (twice completely) and it finally worked after that. Try removing your fuse spring, flipping it around, and connecting the other side. Be sure to stretch out the fuse spring about half a centimeter longer than the fuse axis so it will make a good connection. Be sure the bottom of the fuse spring is very well sanded and clean. Also, make sure you tighten your GGTS up snug. Not too much, though, because too much pressure will cause the adjustable atomizer pin to cause undue stress to the bottom of the atomizer and it will fail.

**edit** Also try to get the fuse spring sanded on the inside (difficult but not impossible) so it will make a good connection with the threads of the top of the fuse axis.
