How to replace centre pin o-rings on SS GGTS?

[scoul27]

I read this post before my SS GGTS came and I thought to myself how in the world could that happen. Well I now know because I pulled out my pin today. Thankfully this thread was available to me and I was able to put it all back together with out damaging the o-rings. Love this forum and the GG. Since it came, I have been in vaping heaven! Thanks Imeo for making such a wonderful device!

I am really glad that you are satisfied with SSGGTS scoul. When I hear those words from you I feel that my time to make GGTS is worth it buddy

Hi.Planet try Wicks, home base or focus.
Failing that any plumbers shop should have the size you need.

I did it twice. ))) Fist time I ruined one o-ring but had spare ones I bought with SS GGTS. Second time was yesterday, I pulled SS GGTS top central post too. But this time I didn't ruin any of o-rings.
So now I am double experienced to put it back.
Great photos Lee!!!

well, guess i got this issue also
was getting my atty off, then the center pin came aswell. when i pulled it back in, 1 of those little o-rings broke and jumped off :\
is it really really needed the 2nd oring? or can i leave this with only 1? because its going to be hard to find this o-rings around here :S

can i leave it like this for now, and order a pack of o-rings when ill order my IAtty?

I think the o rings are to secure the centre pin and prevent any juice working it's way down to the battery. As long as your pin stays in and you don't flood your atty you should be ok until you can get replacements.

Imeo's help needed at the GGTC

@ lee, that's what i thought, that its there to prevent leaking from the CT to the battery.. but just need a confirmation from imeo to know if its safe to use it like this till i can get some new ones

This same thing happened to me on my UFS and when trying to get out the octagonal center pin I messed up the threads of the Battery post plastic stop. I also snapped one of the 2 x 1 o rings that go on the collector Tank battery post. Now the octagonal Center post nut will not tighten rendering my UFS basically useless.

Where can I get a replacement plastic stop screw? I'm not even sure I can do this. I'm so bummed...

Is this what you're looking for?

I haven't got my UFS yet so I don't know if the part is the same.

 

[casualuser]

It looks correct but I'm not sure if these pieces are interchangeable between GGTS and UFS...anyway I'm not sure I can do this without messing it up again...

really nice and very helpful pics lee!

Hope this helps anyone who gets stuck.

I put 2 o-rings so we can be totally safe but 1 o-ring is ok too valter. If you see any leakage you can always but an o-rings set

I started having the littlest amount of seepage around the polygonal nut. I tightened it ever so slightly and it stopped. It must have come loose from use.

Just in case anyone else sees the same.
