Discoloration of the GGTS

[imeothanasis]

7075 is a superior aluminium with the hardness of steel. Its the hardest aluminium that exists.
I asked the salesman of this aluminium and he told me that 7075 is sensitive to chlorine and salt.
All day now I am searching internet to see if something is going on but I didnt find anything for the specific aluminium and chlorine so I post my aluminium seller's opinion. The reason that I want rejoice to buy it is to test it in real contitions. Maybe nothing will happened but I want to know.

I also opened this thread because I wanted to protect my customers even if there is only one eventuality for this to be true.

Also it was a thought about black marks on Isis GG. Maybe those marks its something diferent but it was a thought.

I also found that there are chloride aluminium alloys!! This kind of aluminium is bad but exists.

Maybe all this noise is useless but better to be careful.

Rejoice would be the perfect one to find this out for us. She is the first # 1.

I had the same problem with my GGT.
When I received it, it had a little stain. The next day, it had babies and the day after, they became a full colony.
So I had no other choice but to clean and polish the GGT.
But then, a week later, the stains reappeared. So I waited a little till they multiplied, and then I gave the GGT an even better cleaning and polishing than the first time. (That's when I posted the pictures of the GGT)
From then till now, the stains still didn't appear yet. So I concluded that maybe in time and after 2 or 3 rounds of shining and cleaning, the stains might fully disappear and not come back again, or at least, make much longer time to reappear.
I'll be trying the same experience with the GGTS and will keep you updated.

Also another thing.

After shining and polishing all kind of brass parts on the GGs, I noticed that the atomizers caps on the GGT and the GGGrant stay shiny and do not lose their sparkle, while the shine on the bottom caps, the buttons, and on the Golden Slim, naturally fades away within 5 to 7 days.(Which I equally love anyway)

To remove the stains, just use the polish called Autosol. It is powerful yet very gentle on all metals.

You do not necessarily need to put in your elbow greases. Just rub it gently on the GG and wipe it off after 3 minutes. Then repeat the process, also gently, till you have a perfect and clean GG.

#61 arrived today, and I was off to the races all day. Stuck in a 18650 battery and one of my last remaining 510s, and I have contentedly vaping on it all day. It's early on, and I'm still in the honeymoon phase-actually, still in the act of coitus-so I want to hold off on any rash statements, but I'm really impressed with the sucker all the way around, even at 3.7 volts! I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

I told you so.

I told you so.

Yeah, ya' did.

I still think it is my body chemistry causing the black marks and I will post pics tomorrow. The marks do not change the gloriousness of the vape in any way! I still love my GGTS and think it is the best pv out there.

Note: I bought some Nevr Dull today and will try it tomorrow.

Extra Note: never meant to discourage anyone from buying GG products. I have dropped mine twice on concrete and did not mar it nor change its vape. I just did not want to damage it when cleaning.

I think it's just as Stormy said, the GGTS is just SO beautiful, we want to keep it looking stunning all the time.

You might need to go to the doctor and get it checked....I studying skin disorders in my Allied Health class and my teacher said that things like that can be serious...

My sweat ate the base of my expencive gold Vogue whatch. I saw it after one year of use and the place that touched my hand was a mess. I am more than ok 40 years now and I am going better!!

I dont think that something is going on, I believe that every person has a special body that produce different juices. I sometimes have a body smell like steak, other time like meatballs with rice and other time I smell like rust iron

The black marks are most likely oily skin mixed with a light coat of dirt. It may not seem like there is any dirt on hand but even a light dusting is enough to leave blackish marks. I know what you mean becouse the same happened here and all i did was use some never dull with some elbow and off came the blackish markings.... Ofcourse this answer may not be 100% correct in your case but may be close... I would like to know how it worked out for you after using never dull~

Maybe you are right Keon. Vapn had same marks but he clean it and they disappear. If GG's surface after cleaning stays as it was before those marks appear, then yes its dirt. I dont think that those marks will come back again but maybe they will because GG has a mat finish. If it was shiny then dirt will not go inside it because its surface would be sleek. But other problems will occure like fingerprints, scraches, etc.

There are already 3 people saying about marks so its a matter of dirt as I see it now. Keon you are right friend.


ps...... if you keep GG clean then no marks will appear to it as I see it

Thanks IMEO, I honestly am just posting what i think, ofcouse i may not be right at all but i feel and know from my own experience that metal can get blotted and marked up with normal oil in pores of skin/hands/sweaty hands and grease/dirt natural body chemistry ect. I have sweaty palms at times and when i touch the GGTS or any other shiny pv it gets marked like a smudge. Sometimes it can get darker and cause a black smudge, then rubbed in after holding it makes it more dark or noticable.(This is normal at least to me). I clean my GG's like 2-3 times a week with never dull. Since i've had my slim that gets dirty/marked/smudges, from normal use but ive been using this polish for months and takes anything off it and makes it look new again. All my brass parts shine like no tomorro! Sometimes i cant believe how shiny and clean it looks. All i know is one thing, Any mark should really come off, Not including heavy abrasive scratches ofcourse. There are many products to use that are non-abrassive and work flawless for metals or all types. I use never dull, this is just my preference. There are many other remidies and products that will do the same or better as well. Go to a local hardware store or even auto store if you have no clue and ask for help by someone that knows before buying any product.... Hope this helps some~

The jewelry polishing cloth did a good job of removing most of the spots but the Nevr Dull took them off completely. My GGTS looks just like it did when I first received it. Thank you everyone for the suggestions!

Here are some pics from before I cleaned my GG just as an FYI. Sorry the images are so bad. I was using my iPhone and trying to hold back the cat...not a good combination.

Why don't you send rejoice a GGTS to test in those condition? If it works out he/she can buy it, if not he/she can send it back. It benefits you for your research and he/she doesn't waste money or time.

I can tell from the pictures that you hold your just like I do. My thumb goes where the mark is in the first picture. My finger right over the button.

Just good Keon, just good!

Man, ur marks make mine look HUGE! Lol, before I cleaned first time, the whole side where it was in my hand was black lol....but I knew buying it that I would need to clean it My SB gets the same marks...esp now that its shine wore off. Im using brasso for now bc it around the house but abt to grab some nevr dull bc i do think brasso is a lil harsh abrasive wise.regardless tho, after cleaning I think its even shinier than when new!!!! love it! Now when I get update to stop leaking it will be perfect

 

[keon718nyc]

Im really glad to hear the good news -Ast_Isis!!! I had a feeling the polish would do the job. Im really happy for you!

I guess that NEVER DULL works some wonders on heavy smudges~ Would love to see the updated pic as well~
