I've heard about sanding down the contacts on these types of mods..can this be done on the china gg one?
I have a gold/chrome one and it just doesn't hit that hard even with a full battery.

I lost the button to my chi chiAnyone got suggestions to fix this?
Try Hoosier Vapes under accessories.
Yeah, hoosier vapes has them. i ordered a couple extra when my first one stopped threading (lock washer).
Have you noticed that there seems to be an absence of flexible 19mm rebuildable tank systems available? The CCTS needs something on top that's 19mm to look "proper" - a serious design flaw in deciding to taper the top cap IMHO.
The Smok Tech Vivi Rebuildable (SRT) Tank is the right size but it's drip tip isn't replaceable.
The Dream BT804 Rebuildable Atomizer doesn't hold a decent amount of liquid.
The Vapeonly BCC has a tank that doesn't separate from the top cap
and
The Drunker Rebuildable's tank doesn't separate from the bottom cap.
Of course, being perpetually broke, I'm looking for a really cheap setup but am I the only one?
I don't know what the diameter of the Vision Vivi Nova is but I already have minis and was hoping for something a tad different and even though I've waited and looked (a lot), nothing seems to be magically appearing.
Does anyone know of something else?

I've got a Black Vivi Nova STV on my CCTV gold & silver it looks pretty sharp.

Thanks - I was kinda hoping to get away from Vivi Novas - y'know, just for the sake of experience ;-)
But that may be what I'll end up with anyway. Have you posted pics? I went back through the thread again but my mind is going numb..... bad day .....

I use a Chobra on mine and it fits perfectly. Vapor Joes had a deal on his website for one that looks the same to me.

Replaced battery post with solid brass rod and delrin sleve.
3.9v at atomizer terminals with 0.9 Ohm coil and well used AW 18500 IMR.
18350 mode after deknurling and polishing. looks pretty good with a DID standard.
18500 Mode

Yes, it absolutely does make a difference between IMR and ICR.
IMR will handle higher draw (lower ohms/increased amps) more efficiently so there will be less voltage drop, and ICR made batteries do not handle the higher draw as efficiently (more voltage drop). Due to these facts ICR batteries should have longer battery reserve.
Pros/Cons
which do you favor more:
IMR=less voltage drop=consistent vape
ICR=more voltage drop=conserves battery
There are more variables involved, but this is what we are mainly concerned with as ecig users
Got my China GG today. Wish I could say I love mine. The threads on the body are very loose. After it is assembled you can move the sections laterally in the ample thread slop. I know there is clearance machined between the sections so it can telescope, but this is in the threads. I'm concerned that in time tightening the sections may cause them to flex or wear and jump threads and fall apart. Really hoping I don't need to shim the threads with aluminum foil before it's over, and it's not economically practical to add more plating. Having been a machinist for many years I understand the threads needed cut deep to allow for the chrome, but at least in the case of mine they really over did it. I'm certain some of these have much tighter threads, but between tool wear and corrective offsets when machining these critical fine threads, as well as Chinese manufacturing in general, the quality is obviously a roll of the dice.
It looks pretty, it does work, and so far the fire button is not heating up even without sanding the contacts. It's not DOA so it can't go back and it was just $26.99 verses a Greek original at $200+. It would be well worth the $3 thread check fee if they are truly hand picking your GG with the possibility of too loose as well as too tight threads in mind. Might also be worth paying extra and shipping in a box if available. Mine shipped in the much overused padded envelope and got a ding in the top corner.
I really appreciate all the reviews I get to read here on ECF, and thought I should throw in my cranky two cents. I am pretty satisfied using an Ego clone or even an occasional cigalike, but wanted a mechanical mod for the possibility of an FDA induced zombie apocalypse. Hope you're all having a great day and keep on vaping. Jason

When I tighten mine down against the battery of course all the thread clearance is forced to one side. The body sections also move away from being concentric slightly. It won't rattle, and will only move if pushed sideways. I appreciate the response but I wouldn't call excessively loose threads normal.

Ive had 3 chichis now, and quality has varied over all three. I really got lucky with my last order though.
If you dont like yours you can get the majority of your money or all of your money back via the classifieds.
