GGTS voltage drop

[houmles]

Hi all,

recently I managed to get GGTS SS with brass pins from vaporwall but I found it have high voltage drop compared to my other mod (Titan 1.5).
I know that both of that materials which are Titan built off are better conductive but thought that GGTS is proven to don't have this issue anyway.

Currently I tested it on Efest IMR 18650 which are charged at 3.9V and with 0.6ohm coil on atomizer.
Both mods are fully cleaned.
On Titan I have under load 3.6V but on GGTS voltage drops to 3.1V.
I think the weak point is firing ping and spring in it so I replaced that sping with thicker brass one and lubricate inside with DeoxIT Gold. After that it's little bit better but still drop to 3.2V.

Anyone have same problems or all of you are satisfied with this?

Thanks.

LOL FUNNY YOU BRING THIS UP... Ill be going over some tip and tricks with ggts soon enough in a video. it will also improve in volt drop.

 

[houmles]

Great! ... I saw a lot of your videos ... hope you have some tips for me as I love how GGTS looks and how everything works and don't want to sell it just because this

from what meterials this titan is made off houmles my friend?

is it possible to replace the spring with a brass screw?

take another battery and do the test again
Efest sucks in GGTS
i have the same issue with those batteries
but with others batteries its OK
efest 4,2V fully charged 0,6ohms res under load 3,1V
AW IMR 4,2V fully charged 0,6ohms res under load 3,95V

is it possible to replace the spring with a brass screw?

yes, and it works great. Just don't over tighten your TS.

I have had the same issues with efest, with the panosonic 2900 mah orbotronic i only get .15 voltage drop....

what ohm is your coil?

Lookin forward to it

what ohm is your coil?

0.8 ohms freshly charged

I searched and I found a video about titan thing. Its an aluminium mod with brass unshined contacts. That means that its voltage drop is the same as any other mechanical mod. But GGTS has better contactivity for 2 reasons:

1. You can push the button much harder than any other mod because you push it by your palm the most of the times, so we have a better connection

2. GGTS contacts are shined so the contactivity is even better.

I have seen that most mods out there (if not all of them) have unshined contacts. That leads to a bad result for the contuctivity. I think that most modders dont understand the seriousness of shined contacts. Sorry that I say that but I cant see any other explanation here.

 

[houmles]

Imeo, both contacts are made from coopers which will be always more conductive even if brass is polished or not. On Titan you have contacts directly on both poles of battery and rest of body where electricity flows is from aluminium so I understand this will be always better no matter how I clean GGTS or do some tricks with connections on it but I know that on my GGTS is drop worse as on another one so I am trying to find why too much.
I don't think Efest batteries are bad or have something to do with this cause in Titan it works ok. How can mod change behaviour of battery? It can't
By graphs a tests Efest are even better than AW with drop on heavy load.
I suppose I have some fault on fire button, maybe I don't clean it right or that spirng is some kind broken. Don't know.
Hopefully Bishop tell me his secrets soon

trust me buddy
Efest sucks
the measurement that i done was same time ,same mod ,same atomaizer
different batteries
two months dirty GGTS
i think Efest dont like telescoric mods,because have the same issue (worst)with one other (not GG)telescopic PV mod

 

[houmles]

Hmm, that's weird..
Too bad I don't have any other batteries than Efest to test and my friends too as it's hard to buy AWs here in CZ. Only couple of shops have them but they are almost two times pricy then Efest.
I will look if I can found that orbotronic's NCR18650PD.

 

[manos3906]

if you dont find Orbtronics ,
panasonic cgr18650ch 2250mah are good too

 

[houmles]

That's exactly what I have..
AkkuDB

 

[manos3906]

wait a little,till Bishop explain to you what to do
i have no problem with cgr2250ch

 

[houmles]

ok. Nice to hear that someone with same mod and battery don't have that problem

 

[imeothanasis]

Its not like that houm. An unpolished contact may lead to very bad connections, especially on the moving ones. What is going on to unpolished contacts, is that surfaces dont touch each other to a lot of points but only in a few. So a polished steel contact can have better contactivity than an unpolished or rough copper.

As for the contacts on titan, one of its contacts is moving, yes? But the moving contact is contacting directly to the battery yes? Ok, lets see what is going on on titan and what on GGTS:

The connection between axis on GGTS and battery is rock solid because of the telescope, so its like one piece. There are no floppy connections anywhere. And as I said, the push of the button on titan (that has a front button mod) is much less than the push on GGTS.

Aluminium has a better contactivity than Steel but only when we are talking about small contacts like button. There is no difference in flow of the electricity on fat parts like the body, especially on so small lengths like mods are. Dont believe anything you hear. Just do a small google search and you will see that I am right

dont forget that aluminium is not rust resistance like SS. That means that the protective layer that aluminium produce to protect itself is not contuctive, so soon the contuctivity on aluminium mods gets worse than any other metal that dont rust. Aluminium needs too much attention to keep its contactivity in good levels. First GGs were made like this, so I know what I am talking about.

Do you really have brass springs on GGTS? Better change them and of course shine the contacts on your GGTS and on titan too. Unshined contucts are unacceptable
