Hi all

i think its time for me to start ordering supplies for Just GG. I need some advice regarding a few things.

1. batteries
18350 mode: am i right that the best options is AW imr unprotection?
18490/18500 mode: also AW imr unprotection?
18650 mode: im really lost here.

2. Cleaning
toothbrush and paste, sonic cleaner.

3. I dont know if there is a 3. Please enlighten me.

hope some of you veterans can help me out here.

thanks in advance
Klepto

Klepto get red AW IMR's all across the board they are good and reliable. For cleaning the ultrasound cleaner is the best but you don't need it for just one JustGG. A mixture of hot water, dishwashing liquid and some white vinegar and a toothbrush does the trick. You'll need obviously a supply of silica wick 2mm & 3mm and resistance and non resistance wire. Also get some Vaseline for the o-rings

Hey gtbb

Have been reading on this forum for month now :)
But so many different opinions. And a lot of info on batteries, coil wrapping etc.
Wrap the coil tight, wrap it loose and so on. When building Ithaka i tried loose, tight and cant really not damage my self or anything else. But when it comes to batteries i want to be sure that what i do is safe. Im not gona do any stacking thats for sure.

I do have one more ?. Is it safe to use dual coil with 18350? I think i will start out with the ready 1.7 ohm wires, ending up with around 0.8-0.9 ohm.

Yes, i do this every day with my AW 18350's at 0.9ohm. Always have a spare or 2 with you. They drop below 3.6 pretty quickly and that is where I feel like its time for some fresh batteries. (50pg/50vg 6mg). Other than that they work fine. The AW 18490's seem to last almost twice as long.

No problem as long as they are health AW batts. . That is my most used size.

If you dig around you'll find some real useful info on batteries here is a great one on 18650's comparison

2012 Battery test/review summary

I agree with those that said that it's safe to use good quality IMR 18350's with dual coils. But just remember that these batteries have much lower discharge ratings so the question is how low can you go on the dual coil ohms? Well I'm not technically qualified to answer that question but I can tell you that I've had 18350's destroyed by the very low dual coils in the range of 0.4 ohm range. I've had no problems with duals at about 0.8 to 0.9 ohms

Here is the discharge rating of the AW IMR 18350

Compare for example the discharge rating of the AW IMR 18650 next

Stacking batteries is not dangerous to my opinion klepto, I do it all the time and also I never read anything bad on internet about stacking batteries

I'm in the same boat. Biggest concern taken care of yesterday-ordered a wire zapper. COV and e-smoke guru seem to be out of stock on ready wires, and I don't trust anyone else for readywires.

Going to practice electrocuting myself, and fusing kanthal ribbon until my JustGG arrives. I am praying it arrives before ECC, so I can parade around with a shiny new Imeo creation.

I have 3 aw 18350 for provari mini, they have worked for almost 2 years. Still works very well for the provari. Dont want to stick em in jgg. I will get 3 or 4 new 18350 for jgg, i have a unused 18490, so i just need a 18650 for the hell of it. I love small mods, so i will use 18350 for most of the time.
Btw will the jgg be shorter with the new stealth cap?
I did order it, but im not that sure of it purpose with Ithaka.

Thanks for all the help here :)

What is ecc pfildeez?

Electronic Cigarette Convention. It's being held on Sept 20th and 21st in Anaheim, same weekend as Las Vegas Vapefest.

Not sure if direct linking is encouraged in this forum, but a simple search will give you info.

I was planning on going one day just to buy e-liquids.
