GUS 22 Top Cap and Pin Replacement ??

[LilWhiteClouder]

search function is acting up on mobile, so question to anyone familiar with GUS mods and their top caps..
Didn't realize what I was working with until now

The positive "rice pin" doubles as a fuse!! ("Mr. French" Genius, Genius, Genius!)
How could I be so blind to this innovation??
I've been to GUS site and noticed three options I think I have.
1. Replace fuse/rice pin with similar they offer. But, it has a 12A limit so no.
2. There is a GUS TOP CONNECTOR FULL SS 510 WITH AIRFLOW replacement but site doesn't describe the pin.
3. Grab the hybrid Topcap and be careful.

Do they offer normal, "non-infused" pins? Maybe special order higher amp fuse pins??
Any help would be appreciated. I'll probably reach out to them sometime soon.

Update: located 2 replacement fuse/rice pins that came with mod but need to upgrade them.

Will stick to .4 ohm or higher until then.

Ahh, 10.5A (.4Ω) vaping at it's finest:

@anavidfan I'm excited about our fuse pin venture Thanks for leading the charge.

Now that my issue has been resolved, anyone care to SHOW US YOUR GUS??

I think the fuse is cool but many don't know that a standard pin
from a Nemesis (even a clone) fits perfectly.

I have 4 Gus mods and have never had a fuse blow, so I don't think I need 1000 of them!

Well if you happen to blow a fuse anytime soon and don't have a nemi handy, I might just have a 15 amp to spare

I love GUS mods and you could order from them and I do believe they have higher amperage, you could message them.

You could buy them on Ebay, I will get you a link, they have higher amperage available and I got a few of them to have as back ups.

They do last a pretty long time unless of course your build shorted or you ran a resistance that was lower than it could handle and it did its "job" by not permitting it to overload.

Only time I have broken mine is when I get over zealous when cleaning and I try to slip the fuse out too hard. A little bit of electrical silicone such as NyoGel 760G helps to make it slip off easier.

Now let me get you the link for the fuses.

Here is the link 15A 65V ( LF15A ) 3pcs Littelfuse 1808 SMD/SMT Fast Acting Fuse | eBay

There is another seller that has 1000 for 20.00 , Im tempted

Just an update, got the ones I linked above and they came in, WOW a 1000 fuses is gonna last more than a life time.

They are gold / gold plated, but I dont think they are plated.
I did have some trouble getting them to slip into the little hole, usually they dont slip in easy, kinda have to shove em in and occassionally break them , but I took a fine nail file and gave it a bit of file on each side and voila, perfect.

Great buy, guess these are used on PC mother boards etc. Im glad I got em.

I also have a source for the little ball bearings for the BB Switches for some of the GUS MODs.

Another pleasant surprise when I broke it down for cleaning/repair

 

[anavidfan]

Looks like an order of bearings is in our near future. Knock on wood with all the GUS switches I have Ive never lost one.

Im kinda OCD, and yes Ive had one or 4 roll off, but I found them on the carpet. I know Im pushing my luck

Ive heard about the Nemi pin, but never seem to order the right part, have some Nemeis contacts, but dont work. If you could please post a photo of the part? and where to get, Id love it. I now have a small film canister full of the wrong pins

I’ve read that GP Paps pins work.

Don’t know that from my own experience though.

I’ll try to dig one up tomorrow. My Nemesis clones are buried but the authentic ones should work....
