Imeo.

Let ME clear up a couple things. Please don't insult my intelligence my friend. My patience is wearing thin and my politeness as well. They are FLAT. FLAT TOP CAPS. Do I really need to take a picture if the penny v1 on the paps that won't and can't be vaped? I cannot vape a bottom air intake FLAT atty on the JGG OR the paps. Period.

Secondly. The diagram is, in concept, what some of the Penelope bases look like. I don't know about scale. But air is being taken in.

I came on here with positive rays of sunshine trying to help OTHERS get them to vape these. And now you're telling me as my GG luck would have them, every damn one I have is defective?

I ordered 8 ithakas. EIGHT. All consecutive numbers. Now I ordered several Penelope's. All random numbers from two sources. Am I really the only SOB that random .... happens to? Where are all the numbers inbetween ours.

Quality IS slipping. My pictures above reflect it. My brass post reflects it. And quality control? I can't find it or see it.

FLAT imeo. I can't vape anything that's supposed to take air from the bottom on my flat tops.

i don´t know what the difference is, but if i set up my penny2 on just gg lid and close just gg aircontrol, there is just a little little bit air coming , allmost to nothing !!!

The same for me.

Imeo! With Penelope 1 on JGG with AC closed I get NO air at all; with Penelope 2 I get a little air, probably too hard for vaping, but it's not completely sealed as Penelope 1.

yankee, your behavior has changed a lot the last few months and you really start making me feel uncomfortable. I am trying to tell you some serious things about mods and you just dont listen. And now you start remembering things from the past (witch you solved after a lot of fight) just for an o-ring.

I also send you a free Penelope because of your o-ring troubles. But I think that you are going too far now. If you dont like the way of how GG forum works as you said on a previous post of yours or you dont like GG series for reasons that dont exist, you can stop posting here.

Thanks a lot

Ok I took measures
the 510 lid hole:6.7 mm
The Penelope from inside end of bottom channel wall to the other:7mm or 7.1mm
Basically no air should allow in.
But I did one more thing.

I took the 510 lid out.
Pull out the center post.
Connect the Penelope tight.
Close the hole of the 510 lid from below.

And there is some 10% air getting in.

Acording to measurements it cannot be.

One way only is: in on tiny part the Penelope or the 510 lid are not 100% FLAT.
This the only way some air is coming,if channels are not long enough to reach the 510 hole.

Just my figure how this can be.

they are flat Its. The only reason that air still pass (we dont really care about this small amount of air because it makes inhale too tight for everyone) is because this surface of metals that touch each other is small and cant seal 100% air. My intentions were not to seal air 100% but to make the inhale as tight as I could on justGG in a way that noone would like it with closed air control.

Maybe the So calld Flat tops
Are not Flat enough to make a perfact seal metal on metal??

They are not flat Its. What yankee posted is a picture of a flat cap that works only with genesis mods. There is no flat cap that works with atomizers. Maybe justGG is the only real flat top mod

all penny's are made equal aal. But mistakes can happen, thats why there is quality control on every factory when they are doing mass production. But still people of every product out there have problems, witch means that some faulty pieces pass quality control even if we do our best to avoid situations like this. Yankee doesnt always takes parts with problems but he took 2 times in a raw parts with problems. But because it seems like a crazy coincidence, I would like to see those parts because the only one that has problems is only him this time. But that doesnt mean that he had to say all those things he said on his post, he needs to calm down a lot for sure

Can anyone explain to me how this would not allow air on a flat top?

zanagera.jpg

it won´t if you use a 6x0,75 o ring that´s for shure. it won´t seal the airhole, but it will make a barrier to the slots, wich are the problem i think....
mine is different:

on a flat top mine is 98 % sealed, but with this little air i can´t vape it.....maybe you just need a new base.....

yankee, the hole in the base looks like it is partially recessed inside the base itself. Mine is fully on the 510 connector, with a fraction of a millimeter between the bottom of the base and the hole. Just like D Stanley's picture above.

Are you telling me that all your v2 bases are like that? Because, if so, I cannot begin to describe the odds of getting bases with the same flaw.

That said, my v2 on justGG with my own drip tip vapes with the justGG AC fully closed, tight draw, but pretty much exactly how I like it. With included AC drip tip, I have full AC, and shutting it completely closes off the air. Not 90% closed, not 98% closed, 100% closed.

I also tried it on a Provari with Hippo v1. The Hippo has an o-ring recessed in the top which will seal against the bottom of the attached atty. I get exactly the same experience as on my justGG.

I can say with V2 on my GP Lux/flattop I get absolutely no air with AC closed...as I gradually open I get more air all the way to fully open at which point the draw is quite suitable for direct lung inhales......not really interested in this whole topic but thought this may matter to someone in some shape or form.

Edit: Same result with V2 on Nemesis with Nemesis AC fully open or closed.

thats not the issue aal. Basically there is no issue here. Yankee just got a faulty base, thats all. Its side holes are touching the base because machine's knife went deeper. Thats what is happening when a knife breaks and it has to be replaced and thats one of the reasons that there are faulty parts on a batch of every product out there

I dont see what I really need on this video king. What I would like to see is the base. If you can take a really clear photo then I could comment on your base.

Also, you try to cover the air on justGG lid with your finger but the center post is inside the lid. That way you cant really seal the center post and you still vape through it
