Hopefulll,,

Showing those needle nose pliers in your how too is a bad idea, a socket from a ratchet set would be a much better way to remove and install the brass part I forget the exact size off the top of my head but this way there is NO CHANCE of buggering up the brass.

This is how I do it. You can do it however you like. The correct method it to use your fingers but make sure it is firm.

i was thinking a socket wrench would give too much possibility of striping the threads, i've just been using my fingers, although when the pin is pushed down further it makes it hard to get my fingers in there

Guys, there is no reason to use any tool. And dont use tools on plastic, you will run its threads.There is no reason to put off the plastic. You only unscrew the brass polygonal nut and only if you want to change the o-rings or because you took off the pin by mistake, nothing else. If the plastic comes out WITH the polygonal nut, ok. If not, ok again. Plastic has nothing to do with any work we want to do on the connector.

We also dont use any tool to tight the polygonal nut because we will ruin the threads of the plastic. ONLY BY HAND. We screw by hand, we unscrew by hand.

I agree with this Imeo, I only use my socket to go around the Brass nut because it fits perfectly and use my hand as it says in my post, Nothing ON GG needs to be ever tightened down with a tool.

Good to hear, I hope he decided to keep it, it's too good a mod to return over something like that ;)

That's what I'm screaming..I've got a few mods and all require a little of this or that to keep them firing..The GGTS gives the most for the least...By far and away the best and most durable mod on the planet. I mean the boy has a GGTS...Whatcha` gonna do to best that....??

Now Mr. Imeo lets see that 28650 or 26850?? You know Brother the dang big old battery. I can use it to vape and bang a few heads if needed...and it could be needed...Just proto one up and send it here to the Carolina Coast...I'll ride it hard and put it up wet....

Thanks El my friend for your kind words.:)

As for the 28650 or anything fatter than GGTS, I think its useless to my opinion because after the 18650 battery all the rest are just redundancy. I dont see a reason to make a so fat GG, because 18650 lasts one day for sure.

Do you have another opinion? I want to hear mate

Imeo I smoked cigarettes like there was no tomorrow. I initally set my GGTS up at 6 volts and was happy with that for a while. I now prefer different juices and the life of an 18650. I can go most of the day on an 18650 but not all day. It gives better hits than my 14500 mods and a 10440 is just a toy too me. I've seen two others coming with 28650 mods, not here yet but coming. Yeah it's a fatty compared with other mods, but let's think outside the box. The new 28650s are causing quiet the rage. Lots will be sold. Batteries will last for days not hours. Combine it with a mega carto and you have 50/70 drops of juice and a couple of days worth of power. That's awesome and many will be sold. I personally would make it to fit a single 28650 and not telescope. A little fat but not as long...Would run the AFS for a long time as well as not be so long. Hell it's not that fat. Single aluminum tube, brass end caps, locking switch, AFS capable, days on the battery.....Yeah Baby........

El, thank you very much for posting your opinion and I respect it. I will tell you my opinion then.

If I dont have a battery that lasts all day (18650 lasts more than a day for the most people), I dont care because I will carry one more with me in my bag. This is much better than carry a huge thing in my hand all day.
Dont forget that I was the first man that made the first e-cig for 18650. But I think thats enough now. We cant go further.

I can make an e-cig for 2x28650. Will you buy it? I dont think so mate because it will be more than fat. We cant make fatter cigs, the solution is elsewhere. The solution is squared mods. A cylinder mod that carries 28650 is silly to my opinion. It will look silly too.

As for its length why do you say it will be shorter? Its a battery with 65mm length so it has the same length as the 18650. Even me that dont care about what other people say when they see me vaping any kind of cig I would feel strange with a cig at the same length as the GG but fat like a bomb. Imagine the weight too. This battery is very heavy.

If I understood well I think you said that you would run the AFS if it wasnt so long. But AFS is not long, it just make the atomizer fatter, so if you still think "fat" you would have run AFS all day. :)

You also said that you prefere a huge mode instead of the telescope. Then imagine what posibilities you would lose (different batteries even in case you run out of your prefereable ones, length for any situation, look, different volts etc.). Telescope is telescope and its not comparable. I am sure that you would wanted a telescope with this huge battery if you had the option. But telescope with all the other options that GGTS has is not for all people.

The conclusion is that I can make any kind of GG but we have to take care of the cost too. So if I make a GG with a locking button and venting holes (thats the nesesary safety options), then it has to has a smaller price too.

I am not sure that if someone makes a mod like this people will buy it. Thats my opinion. I wouldnt buy it either. Maybe a few people but I am almost sure that they will regret it soon.


ps..... I think the battery is 26650 and not 28650.

Hope, I am sure that this will happen one day. We cant wait for that day but we also dont need bigger batteries than 18650. The only reason that someone would want to make a mod for bigger batteries than the 18650 is only because he would wanted to fit some extra functions on this mod that cant be done in a thinner mod. But what extra functions we need right now that require a fatter mod?

Agreed, but with luck in a year or 2 we may have 18650's that last 10 days :)
