MKB-TS Mechanical Mod (GGTS Clone)

[upsetter21]

No kidding Technonut. Honestly I don't even understand my own behavior. When I found out the GG's became available it was like someone grabbed my hand and put it on the mouse, and clicked "add to cart"!

I thought about picking up a Stealth, but, in my case, it would be around $70.00 more than I paid for the MKB-TS, and the latter comes with the collector tank and telescopic section.

Sorry, I've paid my "GG dues" over the years.... Besides the finishing being much better, the GGTS / Stealth cannot do anything the MKB-TS cannot. I'll take the $70.00 I saved on a Stealth ($155.00 saved compared to a GGTS), and buy another MKB-TS, Ithaka clone, or perhaps a brass GG Stealth top cap...

Yeah, except for:

GGTS Bottom Cap & Axis Assembly
GGTS 510 Connector & It's Internals
GGTS Collector tank
GGTS Collector Tank AD Top Cap
Oddy to GGTS Connector
GG Stealth Caps

LOL!

I started vaping 2 1/2 years ago, and spent some obscene sums of $$ on high-end mods in that time. I spent around $225.00 a month on smokes before quitting, ($55.00 a carton per week) and figured that if I didn't exceed that sum per month on vape gear, I am no worse off than before, and I did always manage to buy that carton a week anyway..

Recently, I looked back on the many days and evenings spent on chasing exotic mods.. Mucho $$.. Actually getting angry and frustrated if I didn't score what I wanted. I have always liked good quality mods, and before now, the only places to turn were the high-end mod makers. When I saw the first Terminator roll out, I was floored.. Great quality for a fair price! Then, the MKB-TS... Whodathunkit?

I don't see many fellow vapers out-and-about in my area, and I seriously doubt anyone around knows that I'm vaping an MKB-TS instead of the GGTS.. (or knows what either of them are for that matter )

The way I see it now.... at the end of the day, it's all about quality vape gear at the best possible value.

Loving my (2) MKB-TS's
#1764 + stealth cap
#2072 + moded brass pin in airflow cap
The only issue i have, is the button seems a bit loose in the tube. Is there a button assembly i can drop in? GM site is out of stock. Any suggestions with the button would be great. I have read of shimming the button? pictures or a link would help. The button throw is great, just seems loose. Never a miss fire & the best 18350 mod for the $$
Side not, My Term-C + SG-1 on my sig #8 is amazing. Looking for the oddy - ts base adapter now.

So I could buy this and it would work? Super excited. I like the look of it.

Yep, should work fine.. You will need the GG internals for it though, unless you will be modding another type pin / sleeve..

I just got my GUS22, + Oddy's Housing -
Medium set in blue. Now to build this Term-C, medium blue tank on my new GUS... What a great day to call in sick to work!!

So it wont fit in the MKB? or you just have to re-tap it?

 

[dwcraig1]

I ran a 8 x.75 mm tap into the same hole that was already tapped 8 x .50 mm, certainly not proper but good enough

Hey guys, just to make sure I understand, the GG Odysseus works on the MKB, and you're discussing vendors to buy the parts...correct?

It's tough being the noob kid on the block. I think I may have answered my own question by finding that getting the Terminator-C is what I should look at, yes? Thanks for any help guys.

The Terminator C, Oddy to GGTS connector, and the MKB-TS is a perfect match. You will get a large, VERY solid connection compared to the small standard 510 on the Terminator base. The MKB-TS air control will work at it's best also.

Exactly. The Terminator is a very good clone of the Odysseus. So good in fact that all parts are interchangable. That means that the Odysseus GGTS Base will work on the Terminator which will then connect to the Collector Tank on the MKB-TS (some people need to deepen the first few threads on the MKB-TS Collector Tank but I didn't need to on mine). It makes a very nice solid connection with no internal adapters needed and full proper use of the air flow control ring, the positive pin on the Term/Ody makes direct contact with the positive brass post of the MKB-TS. After using it this way I can't even imagine going back to a 510 connection.

Edit: Bah! lol Tech you beat me to an explanation!

Medium (4 ml) is good, large is really long, it was 21 days for mine to arrive

Let me offer my description of the GGTS with Oddy w/GGTS base "the original hybrid" (and then some)
Don't have GGTS base? If you have a large atomizer leave off the gold cap and use an Ego to 510 adapter for a reasonably solid mount with air contol function ( provided air enters through the 510 on your atomizer)

 

[Vince159]

WOW. Thanks for an excellent explaination, in the passed few posts. It sounds great, I've read fantastic reviews of the Ody, and now i know how to get it goin on. I'm off to COV to grab a base while they still have some (if they still have some). Thanks guys.
