GGTS Clone/CCST/Chi Chi Show and Tell

[leomar]

Any place have them in stock

 

[Lhartman89]

I don't see them in stock anywhere. I am sure they will be back in stock soon as the Chinese New Year is over now so I would think their orders would be getting shipped soon.

Actually all I have found is a kit.

I got bored so I decided to wrap mine in some pearl white vinyl.

Discount Vapers are in stock of these at the moment, can't imagine it'll stay that way for long. Brushed SS - $52.99
Looks similar to the Atmizoo Roller.

Just for the record, di-electric greese in non-conductive. We use it in the automotive field to keep moisture out of electrical connectors, but it doesn't help the actual conductivity of the connection. I have some stuff that is $80 a tube to fix loose connection issues.

Noalox is what you should be using if your wanting something cheap.

Interesting. I thought that might well be the case, with the prefix di- which means two, or separate. I used some audiophile contact enhancement grease which has particles of silver in it. I happened to have some and did this before ever using my chichi, so nothing I can report on its effects. Put it on the threaded contacts too.

if all else fails just spit on it....lol

That's very interesting. Looking back now at my battery post the switch has taken all the bulb grease off the small area it contacts, perhaps having it around the contact point is preventing arcs on the edges of the switch that are close to but not touching the battery post. That could reduce switch heat, I'm very curious now to understand how this worked.

I just got my China GG from Hoosier Vapes a few days ago. I love the size and weight but I'm not really sure I'm diggin this pinky switch. I guess it just takes some getting used to.

When dielectric grease was first suggested, I looked it up and found that it wasn't supposed to be conductive so I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why it was suggested for this application. So far, I've had the hot switch problem, and I tried the lithium just to see what it would do (for no other reason than I had some on hand - and it was lithium which is used in some batteries).

I've noticed that both the switch contacts and the pole seem to be chromed so they should be connecting properly unless the chrome is somehow messing that up - in which case, I wonder if scraping the chrome off might help.

Then again, I don't know what I'm doing ......

 

[bzmotoninja83]

The reason i suggested the Di-electric grease is, while it does keep moisture out, it had helped in the past where i had a turn signal bulb that had loose or corroded contacts. Same with a battery post and terminal in a car. it doesnt conduct electricity itself, it does help promote it. i personally havent had any issues with my switch but, when ahead and lued mine up too for, safe measure? Anyways, Im not nearly as smart or have the experience that some of out senior members have......

 

[94civic3door]

a little lube goes a long way(giggidy) lol

 

[Chronicholas]

Haha good one

Does anyone have any gold/brass parts they want to sell/trade? I love that two tone look.

 

[Lhartman89]

So I got my white carbon fiber today and decided to re-wrap the CCTS.

 

[MrSHiat]

does anyone know if there's a way to buy just the button? the threading never worked well and now the nut is free floating so I can't lock it

[seyaone]

I want one. I wish I could join a coop soon.

Personally I don't care for the carbon fiber wrap on an mechanical mod at all. I think thats more appropriate/aesthetic on a VV/VW APV. I think if you were looking for a way to improve the look you should go to a metal shop and have then take the mod to the lathe and take off the knurling and have some parts of it annodized. On such a small piece it should cost relatively the same as the wrap (if you go to the right shop). Just my $.02

FWIW: To many folks, a wrap (of any kind) can be perfectly good/appropriate (or aesthetically pleasing) on many types of devices...

 

[Lhartman89]

I don't have a job right now and a 12"X50" sheet of vinyl cost me $5 shipped. I'm sure I would pay way more than that to have it stripped and anodized.

The title of the thread is "GGTS ChiChi Show and Tell", not give some personal criticism to some stranger you've never met cuz that's what A-holes on the internet can get away with.
