Help Buying a GGTS

[Makaia]

So Im buying a GGTS and was wondering what I else I need to buy to try vaping at 3.7/5/6 volts to find what my sweet spot is. What batteries/chargers/attys do you all recomend. I do have a 510 and I dont like it since it doesnt give me the TH like an 801 does. Also if im using 24mg liquid do you think I should get a lower nic level if im vaping at a higher voltage level? Basicly I need to know exactly what to buy to try everything the GGTS has to offer.

edit: I forgot to mention that I will be buying the GGTS AFS when it comes out and would like to be able to use the same attys Im buying now for the GGTS to work with the AFS.

With the GGTS you get a lot of choices for battery configurations.

If I were stepping up from 3.7v, I would try 6.0v (2 rcr123 3.0v) on an i7 or an i6 atty. The 6.0v on an i7 feels a bit more like 5v volts to me. I'm not sure if this is true to the math or what the resistance in the attys are..just based on experiences.

Rob has the yellow Tenergies I think, I like those batteries better than the blue ones with a higher mAh rating http://www.vaporkings.com/Tenergy_RCR123A_3_0v_LiFePo4_batteries_p/battery-rcr123a-3.0v-lifepo4.htm. They always seemed more reliable to me, and I didn't see a huge difference with battery life.

The downside of this, is you can't get the 3.7v experience with just one battery. But honestly, one of the larger 18650's http://www.vaporkings.com/AW_Orange_18650_3_7v_1600_mAh_LiMN_battery_p/battery-18650-orange.htm will let you vape all day long and then some on that one battery. Assuming you also want to occasionally vape at 3.7.

So *my* opinion is... 2 of the yellow tenergy 3.0v batteries for 6.0v and get yourself an 18650 for 3.7... that also gives you the option of using LR atties as well. Get either i6 or i7 atties, I think both will supply you with more throat hit than you are used to with your lower voltage 510.

As far as nic goes...You will get harder TH with HV..so be prepared for a lot more oomph from your vaping. If you have some of your 24mg juice, you should try that first, you can always go lower later... but if you get something too low, you won't be satisfied, and you may suck through a ton of juice....especially with the AFS.

GG users have also been having a WHOLE LOTTA FUN with cartomizers in the GG AFS too, check out the GG subforum http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/, and ask questions there as well.

Thats just my two pennies.... really though, you will have to experiment... and find your sweet spot... but thats half the fun

Thanks waffle, the battery selection was pretty intimidating since there was so much different choices, I think Ill end up going with the ones you recomended, do you have any opinions on what charger I should get or are they basicly all equal. Is there any LR cartos out yet and is the thraot hit with the regular 510 cartos at 5 or 6 volts stronger than the regular 510 atties?

It looks like I need to put Waffle on the payroll

Thank you for the good and complete answers to his questions!

Did you get the AFS?

 

[Makaia]

No I didnt waffle Im gonna wait till the ggts afv comes out then I will get it. I did get some kr808 cartos, a couple of 801 atties and a couple of i6 atties also got a 808 passthrough 2 3.0v battieries with charger and the large orange 3.7v but robs all sold out of the chargers for the 3.7v. If you can think of anything I may have forgotten let me know

you wont go wrong buying the V2 AFS at all Makaia, it is a sweet unit and the size is perfect too, I have a few of them and they would be great to start out with !!!

808 carts at six volts are ever so nice.

Just remember on the 808 cartos you have to keep them real wet because they will burn the filler inside if you dont with running them on the GG at higher voltages.
Also the blank 510 Boge cartos are a really good choice on the GG too. They hold a lot more liquid if you prefer to fill your own cartos. Again though you want to make sure they stay really wet.

Thanks

Whats the secret in keeping the cartos really wet, will I have to tone down my vaping some to make sure the liquid gets to the atty?

Oh I have no doubt that the v2 afs is great, but if this is gonna be the only mod that I will ever need I might as well wait for the afs that is made specially for the ggts.

 

[schaedj]

Just a quick note... Don't forget to get TWO sets of batteries. If you settle on 6V vaping, it's going to be a bummer every time the batteries die out. Same thing if you only have a low voltage atty, and the only batteries you have charged are the 123s.
(Speaking from experience)

You have to modify them (assuming we were talking about cartomizers) the thread is here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/95711-aff-v2-cartomizers-perfected.html

You will find many theories, but one hole drilled into the side of the cart, and you won't have to worry. Aside from 7.4 (which tastes awful so far) you shouln'd have much to worry about..

what if im not using an afs yet waffle

When I use cartos (which is most of the time) I leave the white cap off of them and use a drip tip. Just drop 4-6 drops in there when you start noticing it drop off on vapor or the flavor starts to change. I hold my cart at a very slight angle when I drip into it so the liquid will tend to hit the filler and not the hole in the center of the filler.

And just be careful with long frequent drags. This maybe something you experienced before. Carts can get hot at 5v+

If you don't have a drip tip, the "condom" end of the cartomizer caps with a hole cut in the center work in a pinch. If nothing else than to keep the cart from singeing your lips.

I got my stainless steel drip tips in today...I'll have them on the site Monday or so.
