Where did you get that super-mini drip tip? I like it.

This mod is dedicated to the GTUS explicitly, made from brass and walnut, and holds a 18650, a 4050 booster pod and uses a magnetic connection, although the 510 is still there. I drilled a 1.2mm hole in the brass positive post and bolted a 3/4" x 3/8" ring magnet to the bottom with the aid of a thin steel washer and a threaded ring cut from a 510 connector (my last one).

The pod is held in place by a short length of 5/8" brass tube with a slot cut out for the positive wire and is brought up to size with a Gummy tank tube that is 3/4" OD 5/8" ID (thanks buddy, I've used more than half of it now).

To maintain the airflow for the GTUS, a 4mm hole was drilled in the side of the mod and lined with a brass tube. The walnut is finished with linseed oil and beeswax so it should be quite juice resistant in the event of weeping. I also added an o-ring to the GTUS to raise the inlet about a mil, and when standing the inlet is at the highpoint in the chamber and should be less prone to anything escaping.

It works a charm, is much more compact now, and I particularly like the mini drip tip, so much so that I wouldn't want to replace SS tank and cover with Ghost Protocol parts now as the lines would be off.

VTR GTUS Love

Nice! You've inspired me to dust off the GTUS and plug it into my VTR. Totally forgot about it for quite some time. I've been using a mini-DID at 1Ω and it's one of my favorite at home vapes. The GTUS should eliminate the frequent tank refills.

I dusted mine off when I got the VTR, they had been sitting in the drawer for almost a year and I though "Hey I know what would look amazing in there... Rigged two up as drippers by plugging the 4 air holes with toothpick tips and adding a piece of pipet straw to the center hole to extend up to the drip tip. "didn't get the dripper option when I bought mine"

These work even better with a cotton microcoil!!!!

I love the GTUS in drip mode. It's tank-esque. And I thought I would never use it that way.
