GGTS a difficult draw?

[shaun]

what i loved abouth the GG slim was that it drew really easy. i'm finding it much more difficult to get a good draw with the GGTS. i have to suck VERY hard to the point i feel like my eyes are gonna implode into my skull. am i doing something wrong?

yes i have unscrewed the ring to expose the vent holes. i'm vaping at 3.7V. i imagine this could be an atty issue as well.

advice?

Try cleaning the vent holes with a toothpick

Shaun, you are doing something wrong.

Maybe explain your set up, post some pictures?

 

[shaun]

thanks for great insight hopefull.

I would agree it's either an atty issue or if u are using carts, it may be clogged. When I stick a fresh cart on the draw ia so much better.

 

[HoPeFuLLL]

Ok, some more info required. Are you using the AVS? etc etc...

 

[gadgetmonster]

Ah the other thing is check the centre pin. One of the small o rings came out on mine and got wedged in the little grove on the pin that touches the atty. This will prevent airflow.

Come ask on IRC.

Difficult draw is because air cant move in a proper way inside collector tank or through atomizer. In the first case you need to clean (reopen) the 4 holes on the collector tank as Giulio said but I think this is not the problem. The problem is a clogged or a bad atomizer. If you try this atomizer on another cig you will have the same results shaun my friend

Gadget, did you solve your issue with the tiny o-ring?

im not using AVS. i tried to use it but apparently i'm ......ed because all i could do was get a nice mouthful of juice, delicious! anyway direct dripping works ok for me.

i did wind up removing the rubber o-ring that goes on the base of the atty where it connects to the GGTS. it seemed like it always crept up and wasn't doing anything. anyway, its never leaked without it.

i'll try to clean out all the holes in everything and see if it helps. i see why IMEO had drilled slightly larger holes in the higher voltage atty's. the draw must be much improved.

Hi Imeo, yes using some tech drawings I found on this forum I got the one oring back. Will get other oring on monday

Try using the GG without the top cap and see if the draw is better...then you will know whether its your atty. I too wish the draw was a little bit easier on the fully assembled GG. Maybe there could be more or bigger vent holes. Love the concept of adjustable draw but not sure the totally open position is open enough.

4 holes are more than enough Geo my friend. The more holes will not help at all

yeah i was just doing some tests...you're right Imeo

I think you may have been putting the O-Ring in the wrong place. Yes the O-Ring does go on the base of the atty. But you are supposed to put it over the atty and slide it to the bottom before you screw the atty and connector into the bottom of the AVS tank.

 

[Geoff_NYC]

great pic zoranth...but i dont think he was using the AVS

 

[shaun]

the bottleneck in airflow seems to be the hole in the 3V atty. the 6V atty had a larger hole bored into it by IMEO and drew much better. i have a drill press and may try to DIY.

ps ive found no leakes without the o-ring mentioned above. furthermore the heat from the atty seems to deform it.
