Just GG

[Itshak]

Elctroplating will take the quality/brass feel of GG mod,
The brass old time look.
but the musical instrument is diffrent,I think
They covered with a thin coat of some safety varnish,and they
Still look brass allright.
There is somthing to the nature look of metal that I very like,
And colors or elctroplating will make it "multivolt any other name"device.
they will lose the
(how to call it?) natural organic feel and became,just practical technical.
Ney keep the brass even without coating better this way.

Just brainstorming here, but if it's all about accents and NOT a full brass unit, how about if Imeo extended (doubled) the threading on either the SS or Plastic Clear Windows of the Ithaka, and created a brass ring that would cover half the threads? I made two crude photoshops to give you a visual of what I mean below. Together with the modified brass Air Control Ring, it would give it a chic look, I think, matching the full or partially brass Just GG.

This are very thin walls on Ithaka, there wont be enough
Thikness for thread,or you will end up stik out from the dia' of the Ithaka,if you go duble layer
If I understand correctly.
no argue on the look.

I would love to get a all brass CT if Imeo makes them. I can't imagine there is a health risk since I won't be heating up the CT (fumes?). The last time I was at the head shop it was full of brass pipes, where you would put flame to a brass bowl. I always heard copper was bad for a pipe. I would think you would get more metal fumes from a hot spot on your coil than you could ever get from a CT. If Imeo makes them I want to get one. No disrespect meant to anyone who is concerned about fumes. Just my opinion.

what about Naval brass, isnt that safe? at least most of the studies claim so.

I guess the NFL wished they had more guys like you playing for them. They would never had gotten sued for those head injuries.

Wrong again soulseek. I give head safety the importance that it deserves. You appear clueless mate. You might consider changing your approach ?...

these were exactly my thoughts when I made the ct for Ithaka Its. I wanted a solid look on a stealth cap even if they were 2 separate pieces. That way, you have your CT, at the same time you have a 510 connection and at the same time you have a native GGTS connection. That was one of my best thoughts while I was designing the air control for Ithaka. A base that can do everything.Now I see that this design can accept brass parts without any contact with liquid. So you are right that we can make a base for Ithaka (that can fit Ody and Iatty too with their native GGTS bases), and put on it a brass CR. That way we will have more options than we ever imagine.

Of course it would be even better if this set up has a CR with o-rings like justGG has, so we will not be afraid of unscrewing the 510 base of the stealth cap while we adjust the air, because we will only "screw" the CR to adjust it

Thank you Darkreign,with this we all got the idea of the Brass CT look
Ok it a fine looker.
And me personaly I don't mind this tiny bit of SS bellow the AR.
Now Lets wait and see what Imeo think on those,pictures,
As he have the better technical point of view to see what is ok and what need to
Be changed.

 

[imeothanasis]

Oups, now you gave me another idea Dark! lol

I agree that the looks of the Ithaka CT with the brass ring and stealth cap are attractive. My fault with the Ithaka AC is that the air slot is on the bottom, allowing any leaked juice to run out along my GG rendering it useless as a CT. If the new ones (that is if Imeo is going to make them) have the slot on the top, then it would be a viable solution. However, I dont see that as a possibility without increasing the height of the Ithaka.

It all boils down to either Imeo will make a Brass version of the CT or he wont. If he does, everyone who has been opposed to it is welcome to not purchase it. I am sure they have their reasons and everyone is welcome to have their own (And i would like to encourage that), but I dont feel that is a viable excuse to prevent those who want it from having it.

I think there are a fair amount of people that would very much like to see it created, but ultimately it is his call. I am more interested in letting him know that there are people out here willing to buy this product and aren't concerned with how shiny the inside is. I also think that more than enough proof, that it is safe, has been submitted, so that shouldn't be something he would worry about.

I would be disappointed if the sole reason this wasn't produced was because its not easy to polish.

Glad to help

I guess you haven't heard of a metaphor before in your life. I never meant that you don't take head injuries seriously. Although you're kind of contradicting yourself here:

Lol. No. I think it's too easy to buy guns in this country. But I'm against it when they try to make me wear a helmet when I bike.

I was simply drawing a parallel between people going to extremes, often ignoring safety, when there isn't someone advise them and on occasion stop them. Two recent examples that come to mind from very competitive fields would be head injuries in "football" and doping in track and field and cycling (Armstrong).

Great question. I learned to start using Naval brass(which contains up to 60% copper) a while back and find that it is much better quality. I use it for switches and internal parts and it is stronger. It still seems to patina just at a slower rate it seems. I think the Patina may also be a threat.

DZR or DR brass is also another consideration Imeo. My water system has a bit of it connecting a special copper.
It is also very expensive and a bit harder to come by

Fun times folks. I try hard not pollute threads with off topic remarks, but hey we're talking helmet laws & head injuries, musical instruments, and personality types. Anybody catch any good fish lately? I wonder how fish feel about brass?

One thing's clear: this is the most epic materials battle ever seen to mankind!

To satisfy all vapers, maybe we need an adamantium GG? (I'm pretty sure Imeo is a member of the X-men, with a special ability to digest endless rambling)

Don't mean to be an @$$ but I think it's time to remind each other that we _ALL_ came to ECF looking for support - something to consider while ruffling your feathers.

I really believe that I used the best brass alloy Idaho. Its the aluminium-brass alloy that contains aluminium, which improves its corrosion resistance. Used for seawater service and in Euro coins, thats why my brass parts cost me more than SS ones.

 

[Andrea S]

Guys, I'm just... speechless...

JustGG? JustAmazing.
Thanks for this marvel, Imeo.

 

[Mistsmok3]

I kindly disagree I imagine it to have the same thickness as the other caps or to get a better idea of what I mean, it will have the same thickness as the Ithaka Lower Body with the wings, but instead of SS, it will be manufactured in brass.

have been using sotong made brass CT for over a year now, still here.

Ah, the old proof by example routine. Classic.

Imeo, I can vouch for your brass all day I and will tell the world. You know I love GG.
I have never altered one of your devices except the post as Captain, Ariel and I use occasionally and that is not a modification as you already have and use a post.
Personally, I think you are a genius that lives on nescafe , we have talked about your little sleep.
Science confirms that this may not be healthy but, in many eyes neither is vaping silica base mediums.
I say build it for those who want it. Just add a disclaimer, "has not been tested and buy at your own risk".
This is a simple solution as, the issue here is liability. We all choose to vape not knowing long term health risks.
All of us here want you to enjoy success with us for many years brother. Produce items the people want and love to use.
We all need to share respect for each other and realize that we are different and have different wants.
Let us not judge...especially over whether to use brass.

Sorry Mistsmok3 guess I fall to sleep( diffrent time zone) now it's going to the office time here.
I see it now clearly,and I can tell you for sure,
If it will be made and the part in contact with juice will be full SS (becouse its only Brass ring on SS thread)
I think I gonne grabe some 10 pices or more for my Ithakas platoon you bet on it.
Think better to post this in Ithakas threed (unless we opened a Brass thread without notice ha ha)
