GG Maintenance & General User Advice

[smokindeuce]

I just thought I'd start a thread on how to maintain your GG and general advice to get the best performance - please feel free to add from your own personal experience:


1/ Keep all visible threads clean at all times. This is very important for the flow of current.

2/ Keep the atomiser connector end dry. If you see liquid around the atomiser connector pin, take some kitchen roll and/or a hairdryer and dry out any excess liquid that may be present. Same goes if you see liquid around the spring end. For a full clean/dry, remove the spring/pin and dry out thoroughly from the inside with a hairdryer. Perform this whenever you notice excessive liquid getting through - this will only affect your GG if you drip smoke excessively.

3/ Always ensure the spring is pushing the pin well above the insulation tubing before you screw in an atomiser. This will affect the contact being made with the atomiser. A bad contact will result in no vapour being produced and could potentially damage atomisers/batteries. If the pin is not making a good contact, extend the spring accordingly.

4/ Always make sure that the button contact areas are clean for transmission. Giving the two contact points a good wipe with an alcohol based wipe should do the trick.

5/ Never over tighten threaded parts.

6/ Always ensure that the GG battery area is free from any liquid.




Anyway, there's a start - any more tips feel free to add.....

Only one more thing.

For all of you that have no spring to the back cup, please put the batteries with the (-) to the button. All the other friends that have a spring to the back cup must do the opposite. (The (+) to the button).

There is no diference at all to the GG's abilities, just an internal change

Tim said it all, thanks Tim

Imeo
you need to be more specific about what you think is the back and the front,

I call the attomizer end the front or the top.

So it can be confusing for us to know what you are thinking.

Dikerry you are right thanks, but the spring is only one. But ok lets explain what I mean.
When I say front I mean the button and back I mean the atomizer.

 

[Di]

Imeo,
now I understand you,

we are at opposite ends,
I call the attomizer end the top of my GG,
and the button is at the bottom end.

different strokes for different folks, lol ......

 

[Iken]

Lol Same here, I'm glad that I didn't jump in with an assumption of what Sakis meant.

 

[imeothanasis]

xa xa very nice guys,

well the front is the tiller and the back is the vaporization!!!

 

[Di]

no, no, Imeo,

you caress the bottom in your hand,
you gently press the top to your lips

you are doing it backwards...... ha ha ha.

now I am off to sleep now and dream sweet dreams
wrapped in the arms of a dream lover.

Sweet dreams lopy pop, You will see it tomorow

For GG owners using the 6V setup:

1/ Holding the switch for 2-4 seconds should be ample in terms of vapour production and hit. I prefer shorter hits at more regular intervals which means the atomiser doesn't fry the liquid as quickly and therefore you get more hits from the same amount of liquid.

2/ To refill with liquid, drip one drop on the atomiser and top up the cart until pooling. I use the tea bag material as a filler in the cart and find no problems whatsoever with using the cart. In fact the cart means there is more liquid to keep the atomiser running cool. I top up the cart at the same rate as the Dura C.

Obviously you will find your own preferences, but these are just some of my observations which may help....

 

[smokindeuce]

Tips for 3.7V (AA size +spacers) setup:

1/ Take longer draws than the 6V setup to achieve best results - optimally 3-6 seconds should suffice. Cooler running so more suitable for the longer, slower draw.

2/ Do not over fill with liquid - using at this lower voltage level, the atomiser will be more prone to flooding. Using a cart should be sufficient with the 3.7V as you would on a regular ecig. Alternatively dripping 2 drops directly on the atomiser should provide roughly a cigarettes worth.

 

[smokindeuce]

Important update for the first batch of GG's that have already been sent out:

Due to the magnetic spacers repelling the atomiser end spring, it is very important that the following is observed/carried out.

If using the AA-size batteries with the magnetic spacer the magnets may cause the spring to touch the GG body on the inside which could potentially cause a short circuit.

For anyone who owns a GG with the spring at the atomiser end, please cut some insulation tape (roughly 2 inches (L) x 3/4 inch (W) and stick it around the inside of the GG just past the thread where the spring is likely to come in contact with the GG body. This is just a precautionary measure to prevent any potential likelihood of a short circuit occuring.

If you do not understand my instructions, please post here and I will explain further/make a video demonstration.

This is not applicable to any future GG's orders yet to be received.

Thanks Tim,
Thats the first thing i noticed when i tried the 3.7 setup (just put down 6v)
GG is may truelove!

p.s foxxy truelove needs a nano!
please email me a notice so i can order everything together (new GG, GGnano, adapters)

 

[smokindeuce]

No worries love - I'll make a note that Foxxy needs a Nano - they will probably be ready for shipping in just over a weeks time with any luck...

Did you want either of these GGs to be engraved? If so please email either myself or IMEO with the details.... also could you please confirm which adapters you require.

Thanks in advance!

And you wonder why im your biggist fan.

YOU ARE THE BOMB BABY !

 

[smokindeuce]

Thanks love for the kind words - feels pretty rock 'n roll having a groupie like you!

Guys hi,

I made an analytic cleaning GG video because I want to see all of you the best way to keep your favorite device like the day you bought it.

I cut it in 2 pieces because of the youtube limits in length and I cut some minor scenes.
