can someone tell me why,when i installed the fuse unit on my ggts, the first thing ive noticed was a steep drop in voltage going to the atty, im using the ggts with a 18650 aw imr, fully charged and a low resistance 510 atty at 2.0 ohms, im conFUSED, UNIT #288, thanks much for any help k9frog

Of course I can my friend and welcome to GG forum
Fuse has a resistance of 0,2 ohm. All fuses have a resistance because they are made from thin wires so they can be burned easily if more current than the apropriate pass though them. That means that less current goes through the atomizer, so we have a small drop of voltage.
But better safe than risking our lives

Hi K9, I use fuses in all my GGTS's, in fact I would not use a multi batt set up without one. I don't notice any drop in performance if that is what you mean? 0.2ohm is not noticeable IMO. You say you only just fitted it so it must have been hanging around awhile, it probably just needs a good clean. Make sure you sand the ends of the spring and stretch it slightly also clean the inside of the brass tube, I use metal polish and Q-tip. Hope this helps. Daz

I guess with LR atty the fuse's added resistance can be fairly noticed. Perchaps 1.5ohm 510 would be better here.
But...do you really need a fuse for a single battery setup @ 3.7v?
Also AW IRM battys are advertised as "will never explode" safe chemistry.

Make sure spring and recess is very clean try sanding spring should not be able to notice any drop
Hi Booker, I have used LR with the fuse and can't tell any difference.
IMR batteries are sold as will not vent flame.
Also I had an attie short with a AW IMR 18650 without a fuse (waiting for the postman) it got very hot in about 5 seconds and melted the batteries outer plastic. The fuse is worth having. Daz
Its a drop of voltage for sure but maybe the human cant feel it. But maybe some people can do.
Of course the cleaning and the streching of the spring are very important things. You can also put Noalox to the bottom of the spring so it will make better contact with the base of the hole where it touch

k9frog, first time I installed mine I had issues as well, try stretching the spring, clean contacts etc. When correct vape 110 %
wow thanks for all these replies this is great getting answers like this, i understand the importance for the fuse,so what ill do ill try to clean and lightly sand all contact areas, then give it a try ,but for the 2 days i had this ggts im amazed at the work put into making this mod one of the finest ones out there,hey thanks again everyone ,im sure to have more
Ok. My findings with two LR attys I use + fuse mod.
901 LR SLB - a tiny bit lower on vapour. It gained on th and taste.
BE112 LR - significant decrease of the vapour, th and taste. It came down more to be a standard resistance atty.
and
801 VHV @ 7.4 - no difference.
Just saying, so don't get surprised.

Most likely more of your spring not being right Rip, no the fuse doesnt touch the bottom all the way the way the black plastic piece is made for it and the way the cap is rounded inside, it's one of those special Imeo fittings thats magic Rip, check your spring and or replace or stretch it a bit maybe!!
And it shouldn't touch the bottom cap because if it would the circuit would be closed.
I had an iffy spring too, changed it with another one and I knew straight away the problem was gone. Cleaning, stretching or replacing... You'll know as soon as it works
