GG Talk!

Ok, I know the ody drip mode base will fit no problem in a UFS V2. I assembled one dry just to see if it would. Never did fill it with juice and fire it as I didn't see the point.

Are you not just taking a drip mode Ody and putting it in a tank system, thus creating....A full size Ody?

Don't get me wrong UFS is great but I'm using it with some interesting atomizers and I've even tried some Carto's in it and works great. I just don't understand the Odysseus inside the UFS.

What am I missing?

I personally own a few extra Ody V2 rebuildable sections and I have 2 expansion packs. So I am able to have 2 Odys on 2 GGts' and also have an Ody inside my UFS at the samre time all diff juices. So that is how it serves me personally. I can totally understand the thought process of where your coming from tho.

HELP!
just got my ggts and is the post supose to fall back when it is turned upside down. is something wrong with it?

 

[Ezkill]

Can't help you, saw your post on the GG forum and I honestly have no idea which post you're talking about.

Can you be more specific.

I also dont know what post...For future reference use ECF google and enter GG Wiki and you can find full breakdowns of all GG products and how they go together.

the post on the botton of the colector tank that conects to the battery

Hopefully it will just thread back onto the delrin connector inside the cup

 

[sgehrking]

it does go back in to the delrin connector but it falls back down. i noticed an o ring on the post inside the 510 connection is that supose to be there

I'm looking for the schematic now...hopefully someone w a bit more experience w GGTS' will chime in I got my 1st a couple weeks ago and my preorder today.

ok it looks like the 2 o-rings (#3) should be between Collection Tank Center Post Plastic Stop and the Center Post Nut. and a larger o-ring on top of the Collection Tank Center Post Plastic Stop.

I have no oring that i can see between Collection Tank Center Post Plastic Stop and the Center Post Nut and i don't have an large oring on top of the Collection Tank Center Post Plastic Stop. but i do have a small oring on Colection Tank Center Post above the Collection Tank Center Post Plastic Stop

Sometimes they get stuck inside the delrin (plastic) backside. Also I dont know how old that schematic is. These are brand new TS'

 

[sgehrking]

another noob question. why isn't ggts firing. had it going for a few minutes then nothing.

 

[Killjoy1]

Check the locking ring on your button and make sure it's screwed all the way toward the tube. I've had this happen a couple times where somehow I knocked that locking right a little bit toward the button head without noticing, thus preventing the button from going in far enough to fire ;-)

 

[Ezkill]

It's a mechanical mod. So it's like 1 of 3 things:

1) Your battery is dead
2) Your atty/carto/whatever is dead
3) Your device is not making contact somewhere

A little more description then a one liner would help diagnose the problem. I could write you multiple paragraphs on what the problem could be but it's not going to help.

For instance my friend called me yesterday and said "Hey my GGTS with a kick and 18650 battery is firing kind of weird, it fires and then it sort of stutter fires".

We checked his kick, cleaned all his contacts, checked the battery voltage and all was good. We spent a while going through it. Turned out his button wasn't making great contact with the post under the battery and it was probably confusing the kick to thinking it had hit battery cutoff and stutter firing. As a quick fix we changed the button firing pin out for the brass one. Works perfectly now. Also read Imeo's description on the CoV page. The button assembly isn't tightened up on new ones when shipped. If you're getting some bad firing that could be why. You HAVE to tighten the bottom part of the firing button before use.

In retrospect that's probably why his was firing badly. It wasn't so much the brass firing pin that helped it as the original firing pin was lose and making bad contact. So when he installed the new firing pin he tightened it up and it fixed all his problems. My assumption is that had he tightened the SS one it would have fixed it as well.

The two o-rings in the diagram should both be in place for proper movement of center pin and to avoid leaks. The larger o-ring (#5 on diagram) is from V1 ggts and is no longer supplied with newer versions as it was deemed unnecessary awhile back. Zoranth's schematics linked above show it all, and the guide below helped me when I first had to change/reinstall
these little rings-

 

[sgehrking]

Thanks Mosh that helps alot! I can't get the delrin piece off to get that second o ring in there.(I don't want to wreck it!) I also think one was in pieces in the bottom of the body. I hope it will ok that way.

@ez I did tighten the firing pin.... new battery, using ody, and coil is good, just switched to ggts base. Will do some more playing with it. I hope it isn't the o ring thing giving me troubles.

I will be ordering spares just in case that is the problem.

 

[sgehrking]

if i want to use pene on ggts what else will i need to get. I have 2x 510 -510 extenders.

ps... will i need to use the rethreaders? I don't plan on using cartos or anything just ody and maybe pene. and what is the small pin that was with them?

sgehrking - Here you go

Ok I have a few people messaging me about this so I'll post a few pictures here. Ariel already has a great thread about this and bunch of pictures of different possible adapters and how they work out. Full credit goes to Ariel_MX. I am simply relating what worked for me out of his suggestions with the stuff I purchased from CoV.

There are many combinations you can use if you don't have a GGTS Odysseus base and want to use a 510 connection. This also works with a Penelope and provides full air control.

The two adapters in use here are:

http://www.cloudsofvapor.com/store/8...eyword=901+510

http://www.cloudsofvapor.com/store/8...10-to-901.html

Full disclosure. I purchased the 901 to 510 somewhere else as CoV was out of stock a few weeks ago. However, it looks identical to the one they have here.

This is the result. Full air control and a flush 510 connection on the top of your cap for you penelope, odysseus 510 and other 510 connection users.

Edit: Other things of note: The adjustable pin obviously sticks out further then when using an Ody base. With the Ody base it makes contact higher up so you would have a slightly shorter GGTS. The difference in length is approximately the thickness of the air control ring which I believe is 7mm. I can't guarantee that the CoV link I posted for the 901 to 510 is the same as the one in the picture. It LOOKS the exact same. I know other people are using it and I believe it's a standard piece. It should be the exact same.

Another thing of note is there is a way to get the pin more flush if you care about the length. Here is a link to Ariel's description with pictures. I haven't tried any of the other adapters. I don't know if air control works with them etc. I only know what I've tried personally.

No problem- I should mention though, if you're having trouble getting the delrin piece out, you can just unscrew the polygonal center post nut by itself, take it and the post out,
and reseat the o rings as on the pic I posted, then just screw it on snug again. That pic shows best practice, but I've found this way to work fine for me also if the delrin doesn't come off easily. Just be careful not to crossthread it and you'll be fine. You do need two orings in place there, though, or it will leak into the battery compartment if you have flooding ever..
It's the only way to replace them and make sure it stays sealed up. I'm saying all this assuming two o-rings, but alas you have only one good one currently.
Definitely good to have spares of all the o-rings, in fact this just reminded me I should get some more of these! Otherwise I'd just send ya some.

-by firing pin, do you mean the center pin these orings fit around? Make sure all parts of the GGTS button itself are well tightened as well, if you haven't already.
Oh, and the small pin with your 901 rethreaders is an extra brass firing pin for your button in case of shorts, etc. or just user preference.

Ty, Ez, Super and MrG - thanks guys for the kind words, appreciate it
