@_pierced_ good to hear about the ss temp control being excellent - i've been very spoiled with my dna devices... i've been using a vt inbox for the past year now... the gbox with a dual battery sounds so promising... my gbox is in Los Angeles Ca according to my tracking... so should be here in Vegas soon

cheers!

Received the silver gbox today - so far so good. TC seems to work to the best of my knowledge. Not to keen with the included rta - maybe I'll build some exotic type coils and try it in wattage mode. I went ahead and put a cthulhu gaia in its place and I am liking it a lot. Time will tell.
Material of the mod seems to be made of metal. Not much else to add... its 3am where I'm at right now.

peace love and vape peoples!

Alright so after using this for a while I feel like I'm not doing something right or something else is up. When the bottle gets below half full it's damn near impossible to get anything in the deck. I tested by blowing through the 510 and it's super duper tight. I figured it would be more open looking at the 510 till I noticed the outlets on the stem itself are microscopic. I have to either pinch the bottle ridiculously hard to the point I feel like I'm going to snap off the steel stem/tube or the bottle is going to crack. Kind of defeats the purpose if I have to fill the bottle as soon as it hits the halfway point :\ Are there any other bottles this thing can use or am I stuck?

Don't think there are any other bottles, but I have seen people modify it so it can use a silicone bottle with a conventional feed tube. Pics below show one modified to work with a Lostvape silicone bottle. These are not my pics -- I clipped it from a FB group a while back for when I get a Gbox. Unfortunately, the clip didn't include the poster's name and I can't remember which group I pulled it from, so I can't give credit where credit is due.

Stick with the stock bottle and just press and hold for 2-3 seconds when the bottle is less than half. It will get you down to the last like 1/6th when you will get some bubbling, and refill or shake out if you want to change flavors. It's still like 7 mils of juice before refill, with RDA flavor and ease of building/wicking.

It's not making a solid seal on the cap that goes in the bottle no matter how hard I ram it in there. I sat there last night fiddling with it and could hear air escaping through the top of the bottle and after I shined my flash light up in that cup thing it's completely drenched with juice. I'm gonna try the other bottle later on and see if that does any thing. Also Just took the bottle out for my refill and it's completely covered now. Not too pleased.

like he said... a gentle but firm squeeze is all you need... squeeze and hold for a few seconds and you'll see the e liquid flow up... i have the benefit of using a Cthulhu Gaia rta so i can see the liquid flow up and fill the tank in slow motion lol.
At first i was really really squeezing the bottle and not having decent results. I tried using the hcigar vtinbox v1 bottles - it seemed like a good fit but i did experience leaking...

hope this helps

Found the issue was with how much cotton I was using. So it was my fault. I've been using an original Troll ever since it was first released and I'd always stuff it completely full and me being me didn't even think about the juice opening getting a bit too compressed. Another crisis averted. Thank you for the tips though :)

so guy, how this gbox perform in TC n normal voltage ?
i won one gbox for 26buck, when it arrived i find it a bit bulky for my liking, now looking for a reason to keep it :)
A two battery squonker is going to be large, there’s no way around that. It’s effectively a 3 battery mod with one battery taken up by the bottle.
