GGTS 901 connector breakage

[Jet]

Hi all,

I have a GGTS and an AFS v2 which I connect together using the 901 converter.
Unfortunately I've broken a couple of these connectors when I've accidentally knocked over the unit.

I've had the idea of using a rubber grommet between the GGTS and the AFS to cushion the impact if it I do knock it over.

Do you think this will help or has anyone found a better solution?


On another note I'm finding lately that I'm getting a bit of sideways movement in the bottom silver section where it joins the brass telescope. Never noticed it before so wondered if it was just wear and tear or if there was solution to this as well?

Thanks , Jet

Hi Jet,

Take a look at this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/100230-afs-aesthetic-mod.html it should answer your question and by the way I use a fiber washer between the AFS and top cap. Daz

There will be a little movement. Take the telescope apart and clean the threads of both the aluminum AND brass pieces. The "wiggle" will be less and you'll have a better overall connection.

and put vaseline on threads, they will be smooth and will stay clean for a long time

Thanks guys for the responses.

I actually did a complete strip down on the weekend and put noalox on the threads. The when I noticed the sideways play. Maybe I just didn't use enough.

Do you think Vaseline is better?

I've also looked at the mod instructions but I'm a bit wooed about damaging my unit. I'd be lost without it!
If I was to use a grommet what size woul be best? I would like to put pressure on the treads by using the wrong one.

Thanks for all your help, Jet.

You can do the mod like the video, buy put any o-ring inbetween the AFS and top cap to keep it from getting scratched.
