Hello everyone!
My GGTS (2012 version) is almost 2 years old, brass parts have aged nicely, scratches all over the place but none of them are deep. Dropped this baby a few times and got a few nicks here and there but nothing too bad. I've been doing maintenance on it consistently every week or 2 weeks, putting Vaseline on the orings, washing the parts with a special mix of white vinegar, dish soap, and good ol' water.
My last maintenance went pretty well except that one of the o-rings in the center pin (the small o-rings) snapped when I took it out. So now I only have one small o-ring inside the center pin, which is working well so far... but I think it is a indicator and the right time for me to get a set of new o-rings for my baby. I've searched high and low, including CloudsOfVapor, and could not find them in stock.
I know spare parts are hard to come by for GG items (no offense Imeo) but I am going to need a new set of o-rings pretty soon. Does anyone know where I can get some?
Also, I would like address a problem with the GGTS that I should have pointed out a long time ago but I didn't because it's not a big problem, as it is more of an annoyance. The threading on the middle telescope tube and the threading on the bottom tube (the one that houses the button) are not flush against each other, and therefore it creates a slight wobbling effect even when it is tightened down. This problem would be fixed if the threadings were closer to each other for each tube, and it might have been a production error. Does anyone know how to remedy this?
Overall, great product and I always get compliments on it. People always ask 'how much was that?' but I don't tell them the price of it since that comes out as being egoistic in my opinion. I just tell them that it is made by some talented dude in Germany, and then I'll point to Imeo's name imprinted on the side of the bottom tube.
