battery connectivity issue in GGT?

[fcuk112]

lately been having a few issues with the GGT, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same...

1). leaking, the e-liquid sometimes seeps down the side of my GGT. maybe i put too much liquid in it? i am using 510 adapter on it, maybe i need to clean it out?

2). the battery connectivity seems inconsistent. if i shake the GGT it seems to make it better. i tried pulling on the spring at the end to see if i could extend it a bit but it hasn't fixed the problem. i am using CR2 6V, no magnets.

anyone else having these issues?

Hi my friend fcuk,
as for the leakind issue, I think that you maybe put a lot of liquid there as you said. I mean that you put 5 drops instead of putting 2 drops every smaller amount of time. Is this true?

I want to understand correctly the second issue. When you say that the conectivity is inconsistent what do you mean exactly? You have misfires?

Hiya fcuk,
1. Sounds like too much liquid, yes or needing cleaning or new filler n the cart maybe?
2.Yes, you probably do want to extend the spring or use spacers to make sure you've got a nice consistent connection.

what do you mean cappy?

1). the leaking issue - yes i removed the atomiser-side cap and there was some liquid there. washed the adapter and cap with warm water and dried with blowdryer. also replaced the filter cartridge so hopefully it won't happen for a while. might have been over-filling the cartridge & like to place the GGT vertically. i now rest the GGT horizontally so no seepage should occur.

2). yea i guess you could describe it as misfiring. not sure if it's a battery connectivity issue because i've never had this problem in the past. one thing i noticed with the adapter is that the connector is not straight (as seen in the picture). could this be the problem, that it's not making a clean connection with the atomiser?

thanks.

I use a piece of superfine steel wool to clean the spring and stem. Then do the inside of the button and the inner part of the atomizer connection. This should solve your problem.

yes, cappy, stormy said the same. Fcuk, please take a 1000 sandpater or more and sand the piece that cappy show on picture. Then do what stormy said with the spring. Then do a sandpaper work with the botton of the button and with the brass little axis that is attached to the button's cap. Thats it

If nothing helped, then its the button's spring. If you still have a problem then we talk again about button.

First please change your batteries and atomizer too

The adapter has no problem , its like this because it has to move freely inside, so the connection is ok, dont worry about this

i'm not much into DIY - where is the best place to get hold of this wool & 1000 sandpaper. i saw some 1000 sandpaper but it's selling 5 pieces, i only need a little bit!

I got mine at Ace Hardware. It is a large hardware chain store here. I would look at a large hardware store.

You might want to find one of the smaller independant hardware stores rather than the big chains - if you just want to get a small piece. I can't locate mine at the moment otherwise I'd send you some.
