MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

[crss]

That darn FT... I use my MKB-TS daily Rocking a kayfun Lite n some Grenada tonight. DW, thank you again for the ODY upper o-rings. 4 Terminators, set up and resting in my old cigar case. 1 term + gg-base mounted on mkb-ts + 18650 mode, no gaps. 2 mounted on sig #19's in ss & copper, sg-1 adapters. Sig #20 is the smallest. No leaks and the Ody clones... Great price, parts are available. The MKB-TS, is a great mech mod!! But yes... FT has some great devices & prices.
Last item i got from FT was $32.53 E-Cigarette Mod / Battery Compartment - stainless steel / silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
So, when ever.. i guess i get a clone.. I read some place the threading is a match, it wont hurt to bad when gravity takes a bite.

I wonder if that's a Tobeco or Hcigar? or what? When I asked who made the Ithaka clone they told me "Sorry our supplier won't tell us for they are afraid we will get this from the manufacturer". Hmmm.

I read a few pages back, and it sounds like the answer is yes, but does the MKB-TS allow you to use the native GG style connector instead of the 510? Like with a Hercules?

It sure does, it wouldn't be a very good GGTS clone otherwise.

I just wanted to be extra sure. Has anyone tried a Magoo on it? Wonder if the threading is correct.

Anyone running MKB-TS with hercules dual coil?
The herc with 1.3 - 1.2 dual coil made the button hot then I put Kick in and set to #10 now it won't fire more than 1 second.
Either I got short or the coil ohm is too low?
It works fine without Kick just hot button, I'm afraid it's gonna blow up

If you have another mod, try your herc on that mod. I had the same problem once upon a time. I'm running my ithaka at .68 on the mkb. My herc is at .8 on ehpro ea mod. I can't remember what was the cause of that hot button.

Tried on Provari, got Lo msg when check the ohm and got E1 when tried to vape it.
You MKB-TS button got hot or not?

 

[foggdawg]

No issues with hot button on mkb-ts.

 

[foggdawg]

I'd check the spring on the bottom post and screw it down more for a better connection.

 

[foggdawg]

Also, what batteries are you using? Efest are good and pannycgr

I'm using AW IMR 18490, I have Panny too. Will try it after I got home. Thanks for the info and will report back

OK, it's probably not a battery issue more than it could be a short or connection issue. If you have wrapped several coils on the herc with no problems you might wanna check the spring and the switch. Make sure the switch is tight. After a while the switch post and plunger that makes contact with the bottom post can work its way lose. Check those areas and make sure your coils aren't shorting out by coming into contact with the mouthpiece. Good luck

 

[foggdawg]

Double post

Okay, the culprit is spring on bottom cap. Screw it all way down now, not hot buttom only slightly warm after chain vaping about 2 minutes to test it.
Now I need to buy juice with lower strength for Herc, got too much nic
Never got this much "kick" with Penny

Thanks foggdawg

OK folks here is the cause and the fix for the MKB-TS switch button pieces coming loose.
Of coarse heat due to high resistance is a big factor but this "unproven" (unproven cause I just did it) should take care of it now that I see what was going on.
When the plunger (part A) screwed into the button (part B) it doesn't bottom out inside the button, it just screws in till it runs out of threads and simply binds up. So I put inside the button (part B) a very small nut so when part A screws into B it tightens up against this added piece and the top of the button, so now it's actually tightening against something. Time will tell but I'm confident that it's going to do the job.

If the MKB-TS' switch is getting hot and it's not because of a short then there is a very likely chance that "part A" is not screwed tightly into "part B". I have checked mine just now to see if above "fix" was still in effect, it is still tight. It's easy enough to check for loosness.

Well, I'm close to the end of my "building the perfect beast" chapter.. I was looking though an overlooked box today, and found a complete set of GG connector internals (complete firing pin assembly) from my GGTS days. I installed them in the aftermarket GG knurled connector / collector tank base I had, and only thing I really want to finish this project off is a SS GG bottom cap / axis..

Terminator C with Oddy to GGTS base / Vochu Kayfun conversion kit / MKB-TS with above mentioned parts:
