[Djjchris]

Anyone know whats wrong with my GG. The firing button gets hot, is this normal?

Thanks in advance.

Dj common problem when the button get dirty inside and needs cleaning. If it's happening with all atomizers remove your button disassemble it and give it a good cleaning

 

[CaptSteve]

While you're at it it's probably a good idea to give your GG's threads a cleaning too

thanks captsteve

You have a short Dj. You pushed too hard the telescope and the center pin of GGTS broke the center pin of your atomizer. Try another atomizer and maybe another battery in case your battery is damaged too.

Captain Steve's suggestion is not bad of course but you have to do that after you change your battery and atomizer

thanks captsteve

Hey DJ, your button should be cleaned weekly with the other contacts for optimum operating hit.

 

[Djjchris]

My button has black chunks building on the firing pin, is that normal?

 

[imeothanasis]

Thats what we mean by the word "clean" Dj

Use a very thin sandpaper (something like 1500) and clean the bottom of the firing pin and the axis that is attached on the venting cap (where the firing pin touch to make the connection). Your GG will be like new again.

 

[Djjchris]

Would 600 grit work?

 

[imeothanasis]

The thinner the better Dj. We need a shiny surface after cleaning.

Thanks imeo and the rest. Got it working like a beast on a twisted wrap.

Yes Bish, that was my problem, SS fire pin got very hot , misfired , got loose all the time drove me crazy. I changed it to the brass one and Wow all fixed, it don't get hot or misfire or get loose anymore !

 

[Djjchris]

Unfortunately I didn't receive the brass pin with this ggts.
