very nice review scott!
as for the button, it looks before going all inside the bottom cap, but ye, probably if it would look a little at the top it would be better

Hi Scott,
Is it 94 Euro for the full kit and how much was the postage?
Great review as always mate.
Thanks
hi mate,
thats correct, 94 euros will get you everything that you see at the start of my close up shots
and i think the shipping was 7.99 euros
in total, it came to about £90.00 shipped
cheers

As always, nice review. What is the Galileo made of, aluminum? (Love the way you Brits say that word...) And what cleaning/maintenance does it require? I had an issue with the older GGTS oxidizing and preventing current from conducting-thus keeping the mod from firing-and found the almost required weekly cleaning to be a bit onerous. Would the Galileo have the same problem, and would it be harder to assemble/disassemble than the GGTS?
Thanks in advance for your response.

hi mate,
yeah the Galileo is made out of aluminium (pronounced the correct English way lol) but ive not had any signs of tarnishing what so ever yet and ive had it for around 3 or 4 weeks now......it does scratch pretty easily though
id say that the GGTS is a little easier to assemble, but only because it has fewer parts though.......i really like the Galileo and still continue to use it
cheers

Nice review. Although i think i would just shell out the extra money and get the GGTS. The GGTS seems to be a much better quality unit than the Galileo.
I think the reason for me to get the GGTS would be the stainless steel construction. I had two of the first generation of the (aluminum) GGTS, and while great versatile units, the aluminum oxidizing drove me nuts. It wasn't that the shine would quickly dull unless it was polished regularly (I quickly got over that.), but that oxidation on the internal threads would slowly diminish the amount of current that reached the atty to the point of shutting the unit down.
At first, the solution was to coat the threaded internals with noalox. This worked for about a month per application, but the noalox would harden and be relatively difficult to clean out before applying a new coat. Vaseline was then recommended; it was easy to remove and apply, but an application would only last for a week or week and a half before it started to lose voltage from oxidation. And they tended to oxidize shut and become difficult to disassemble if I left one unattended for too long, which diminished its utility as a backup/use-in-case-of-emergency vape.
The (imho excessive) maintenance diminished the usefulness of what otherwise was a brilliant design, and I'm concerned that the Galileo will also have the same weakness in the long run also being made out of aluminum. (Though I realize that different alloys of it have different oxidizing characteristics.)
I'm thinking (hoping, praying) that the stainless steel won't tend to oxidize as easily or quickly. Though I think others may NOT like it due to its increased weight over aluminum. I don't think I'll care if its heavier, I just want it to vape when I pick it up in the early morning.

Thanks for the review Scott!
You are my favorite reviewer by far.
I ordered a Galileo a few days ago, & am looking forward to the release of the feeder for it too.

hi mate,
im sure you will love the Galileo.......its a really nice device
cheers

I gotta say: it is really cool.
Had a heck of a time getting the 510 connector to seat properly, but it's all good now.
Here it is with the AW IMR 18650 installed:

I've had the Galileo for about a week now.
I ordered a Bulli A2-T to go on it too.
Really liking the mod, and the Bulli should be be a nice complement to it.

Nice one mate, I'm sure you will love the Bulli!
They have also started selling the type B upgrade now.....ordered mine today!

Hey Scott!
Did you get the JuIC yet?
I heard they were released in EU, but we're waiting in the USA.
