Got my new GGTS today and it doesn't seem to work properly

I am using a 2.0omh cisco atty with an AW 18650 2900mah battery - these worked perfectly together in another mod both prior to the arrival of the the GG and staright after when I needed a break from tring to get the GG to work.

Why would silicone grease be more likely to combine with the juice than Vaseline. I'd much rather I had my juice in contact with food grade silicone grease than Vaseline. Silicone grease is heat resistant too ( up to 500 degrees C )
Congrats on getting it up and running....sometimes stuff happens and you never find the cause. The important thing is you are enjoying your new GGTS. Another option for lube is Parker O-Ring Lube.....great stuff Thick so it stays put and slicker than owl poop. It's non reactive with both PG and VG. Check the MSDS Sheet for the details.
My bad..working from memory I posted Roberts when it's Parker.
Here's the LINK

Glad your GG came to life! I'm using a 306 with an XL Delrin tip...I found that if I tightened the atty down all the way, I'd get the "hot button". Backing off the atty off by a turn or two still gave great contact, and fixed the hot button. Just in case you run into that
What kind of glass drip tip are you using? Can you use the collector tank with it, or did you have to leave the top off?

Thanks for the tip I've had no hot button - yet ! lol
I'm using a Drip tip from Cloud 9 - I won't post a link in this forum but you can find it easy enough.
The drip tip is just too thick for me to use it with the collector tank top on so had to leave it off. I'm still using the main body of the collector tank though - it should be good to catch the odd drip from the leaky 306s that I love to use. It still looks good too
I use noalox and so do many other folks on stainless threads. The zinc oxide cleans the threads as it's mashed up in there from turning. It really does help keep the best possible electrical connection on threads. I have read a couple of posts by Imeo suggesting that he is also using noalox now on his SSGGTS after someone sent him a tube to try out.
Any reason why the GGTS does not have copper contact points? Slightly dissapointed a mod of this standard doesn't.
lord, I dont use noalox, its useless. If you put noalox between 2 plastic parts you will never make them contactive. That means that surfaces have to be clean to reach a good cotactivity. Noalox doesnt do anything.
Carol, I was the first one on ecf that used brass on connections and I was the first one that used copper springs. But its useless to use brass or copper connections on steel mods.

delboy, all your problems comes from springs. Clean the battery's spring and the button's spring, thats all
I hate springs for their low contuctivity thats why I replaced the button's spring with the magnets and thats why I dont have a battery spring to my GGTS

Hi there Imeo - thanks for the reply
Am I OK to just remove the battery spring from the end cap's centre post then ?
Imeo, are you back from vacation, or are you just sneaking time on your computer? Heh, you just can't stand more then a few days away from your work!
I feel the same way about springs, bad for conductivity, but a little safer to have them....a necesary evil

Hmm I might try this living life on the edge. Hell they are protected and there are ventr holes.....
Thanks, although feel a bit like I got caught out by the headmaster when I saw your reply.
Welcome back. Please forgive me for asking, what extra protection does the GGTS fuse protection upgrade give over the standard spring then?
Also does having to use two springs in the Fuse lower its effectiveness?
I would have come back sooner but the place I went for holidays was a very small place without an internet cafe moon. I was worrying about all of you while I was internetless (new english word
) but I finally manage to come back soon. My sister was reading all those days the forum to see if something happened but she told me that all were ok. - Status
