Dear Runar, I'm sorry for your chess Army, :p but I really think you have to split TS-10: Wings are different. (on my units: #3351, 5038, 5214)
#2500-3600 are 22 x 10 mm;
#4701-5499 are 23.5 X 7 mm.
Please note the second is not only a little wider, wings are more "stretched", too.
BTW, the second has the same Wings of 2013 version (TS-13)

P.S. TS-12 has:

1 Wing 23.5X7 (Like TS-13)
2 The GG
3
4 By Imeo

Dont be sorry ;) This is great and shows why we should make pictures of all this differences. I will make som pic during the weekend, Then it will be easier for people to see if their gg is the same as the one in the list. I think maybe we will find more versions in the future;)
When it comes to chess maybe we can get 16 different GGTS and let the JGG rest or be judges ;)

Always about the Wings, I think it's interesting to point out the GG logo has changed: always the same design but with different aspect ratio.

I'd say that this is what happened:

- when changing from wings and The GG in line to Wings alone and The GG on side, Wings became bigger, but with the same aspect ratio.
- when wings became bigger, 27 mm. wide, the logo was stretched (changed the aspect ratio) because otherwise it was too high.
- when wings became smaller, 22 mm. wide, the original logo was used again (same aspect ratio of the original).
- then we have again 27 mm. stretched.
- when the logo is reduced to 23.5 mm., it was obtained reducing the second version (stretched) and not the original one.

About shallow and deep engraving.

Of course the engraving of SS 0-2050 is different and much more shallow then the one of following serials, but speaking of deep and shallow for SS 2051-on, are we sure that some unit look to have shallow engraving only because it was polished and polished and polished again?
Honestly this is my feeling for my GGTS 3860...

Doubt this helps.

Have a GGTS 955. I know there is nickel.

It is the best mod out there, still, but, I am allergic to nickel. I cannot say it is the GGTS or other allergens, but I put it away every year due to sinus/facial/Klingon looking reactions. However, I was a child and adult that cannot wear cheap watches either. They hurt my skin, AND stopped working.

Enough of that. It is still the best mod and only the GGTS can give a great vape, if you can stack, if you can buy attys, or build your own, just wanted to pipe in on nickel is present in that series.
Wings by the button, not getting out the ruler, next beside it is " The GG" in larger fancy font, number behind button on back side.

5vz, can you please confirm the venting cap has holes or a slot?

Do you mean under air control ring?

If so, it has 4 precision holes under the ring.

This one is old school, it truly is the best vape you can get. Brass extension, knurled knob, eight precision holes on bottom (where spring is), knurled top two portions on tank where drip tip goes. Hold on. Air control ring has 7 smooth vertical deep lines, very smooth - not what I would say grooves, so very smooth they are almost un-noticeable for feel, but very pleasing to see and way so smooth, like a bathtub curve, eh, yeah, I don't think bathtub was the idea for Imeo. Let him use words for that. :p

Where the drip tip is, there is not any holes or vents. Just knurled top parts, 2 of them.

ETA: I forget. I am looking for video. I have an old GGTS with an AVS. BRB.

ETAA: Okay, here is the nickel part for allergy issues. The AVS tank part is what you inhale from, my bad on forgetting part names, and same GGTS model too. I did not send anything back to Imeo, don't like posting this video. I bought mine 2nd hand ECF, a few years back as you can see.:

Mmmmm.... AFAIK Nickel shouldn't have brass telescope and the air ring slick with vertical slots.
Actually, according to Runar table #955 should be Aluminum; for sure the unit in the video looks identical to my Alu #1059. [edited]

As I said above, something from the 955 contains nickel. It is most likely the AVS.

Imeo should know, it was discussed long ago, and he stopped using nickel. He can clarify.

The allergen would be the AVS, since it swells the face. The hands are okay for me if I do not touch my face, but one with allergies never knows about touch contact.

My GGTS came with AVS, I use it once a year because it is the best hit I can get, above Provari or any other. I also go to hospital if I use it too long.

Not Imeo's fault. It is an excellent device. Has anyone asked him the metals in the runs? Are the old threads still on board or archive? The old threads discussed the metals, Imea can clarify. Not picking, just saying I realized the part differences again once I started looking for old videos for what type I have. Us old folks have old stuff and do not keep up with the new stuff. ;)

yours is 1059? not 1159?

The exact number where it changes from alu to nickel and the other way is so far not possible to say. But ..Skiba says somewhere, and i have read it too, that it came 100 alu gets to a shop in uk, and they should have been nickel. And if you look at the list, Imeo said long time ago that he was sure about the number when the rev2 TMF ended ; 879. And i am pretty sure the following was nickel .. from 880. But exact how many made ... hmmm.... but if the 955 contains nickel, it might be one of the last. That means the Alu starts at 956-957, and if it is right that there were 100, we can end the alu at about 1057 (which is the last i have found for sure).
So maybe the list would be better this way:
TS-5 (nickel) 880 -955 (75)
TS-4 (alu) 956 - 1057 (103)
TS-5 (nickel) 1058 - 1484)

And then it seems like yours 1059 fits in as well if we look at the engraving
