Finally got my first GGTS and Penelope

[ICEMAN 316]

So I finally got my first GGTS and a Penelope. I can't tell you guys how excited I am. Now I only got a few questions.

1. What adapters do I need to fit the Penelope and Ithaka (end of the month) on my GGTS? And will the air flow control still work?
2. I bought the Penelope used and the guy sent me Pure Nickel 32 awg non resistance wire and nickel chrome .15mm resistance wire. When I made the wick and wire and tested the ohms on my Provari it was 3.2 ohms what did I do wrong? So I would like to know what do I do to make the resistance 1.7ohms and how did I end up with a 3.2 ohm wire??
3. Is the Pure Nickel 32 awg non resistance wire and nickel chrome .15mm resistance wire the correct wires to get for my Penelope and Ithaka ?

sorry for the noob questions. I've watched Imeo's and Scott's videos about 10 times and I can't figure it out. Thanks guys!

Get the GGTS adapter from Clouds of Vapor. It'll give you air control on that Penny and a nice, flush mount. As far as the Ithaka, I believe it'll have a GGTS native base.

There shouldn't be much resistance wire. Just enough for a few wraps around the wick. It sounds like you need to use about half as much nichrome as you used.

3. Is the Pure Nickel 32 awg non resistance wire and nickel chrome .15mm resistance wire the correct wires to get for my Penelope and Ithaka ?

Those should work. I use kanthal and silver myself, but those will work fine (and some people prefer them).

Congrats on new gg iceman!

 

[ICEMAN 316]

Thanks guys!! So to make a 1.7-1.9 ohm about how many inches do I cut the resistance wire? Also where's a good place to buy the silver non resistance wire and whats the agw? And where's a good place to buy kanthal wire and what gauge should I get? Thanks for all you guys help!! I really appreciate it!

Depends on what ohms you want to vape. 30 is for lower ohms.

So if i'm aiming for 1.7-1.8ohms I should go with 30?

 

[glauserjg]

It depends if u want to use 32 go ahead just use less apwraps

I would use 32 for 1.7ish.

 

[yankeebobo]

Ice, do you have a meter? I'd definitely get a multimeter. You could then twist the NR and R and meter out 1.7 on the R and know where to start the next twist.
30 would give you a longer wire which would give more wraps. 32 would be shorter so fewer wraps. But 32 could be longer if you twist the wires. There are so many combinations you will likely try.
My personal vote would be get a meter, and both 30 and 32. Try several setups and find the sweet spot you like.

fat wires were made for mods that dont have good wicking ICE. We dont have that problem on GG atomizers. So go for 32 or 34 to have bigger hit and smoke

 

[ICEMAN 316]

Thanks guys for all your advice! I'm gonna go get a multi-meter and try it again as soon as my wires come in. Also which wick is good and where do I get it?

Also I want to give Imeo a special Thank you for bring us all these great quality and well thought out products. I appreciate you answering all our questions too!

Hey Iceman if you get a multimeter and still need a hand hit me up Ill help you out through skype.

 

[ICEMAN 316]

Thanks Bishopheals!! I've watched all your YouTube Vids..They're really good.. I've learned a lot from you! "Forgetaboutit!!!" lol
I'll try to build the coil again once all the wires come in.. Also where's a good place to buy some good wicks?

 

[Bishopheals]

cov sells some good wicks as well as vassilles greek seller. i actually have some special ones coming in the mail soon which I will be testing soon. ill let you know about it once i get it.

I bought a multimeter but I'm still having a hard time getting the ohms I want. It always comes out higher. I bought the mm200.

So today I received the pre-made NR and R wires and the adapter from COV and for the first time I vaped the GGTS and Penelope together.. All I have to say is WOW!!! I GET IT NOW!! I get what all the hype is about. I get why people have 20 GG mods... I get why these GG products get sold out so fast. I'm absolutely in love with the GG products. I mean I love my Provari but the GGTS is on a different level. Didn't think that was possible but it is. From now on I'm only vaping on my GGTS. Only gonna use the Provari at work cause I don't want to scratch my precious GGTS. Cant wait for the Ithaka!! Thank you sooo much Imeo!!
