I'm new to the whole GG thing I got mine on Saturday November the 17th and so far I filled and sucked on it with the juice control full open cos I thought screwed down was closed which was nice , its much like when u get water in your snorkel when your diving,coughing and spluttering with a mouth full of juice lovely.
Second thing I just discovered I did was at some point I switched the ufs ct and the ggts ct. Now it still works but for the last couple of days I was thinking to myself ¬.¬ that's not very neatly made there's a O ring poking out.
Yes I'm stupid.
Oh also I had the button screwed in wrong needed 2 strong men to press.I was sat there thinking in time ill develop the necessary muscle tone to vape casually
hangs head in shame, after a little adjustment its now perfect.
Is it just me were you all born with an innate understanding of how to work these?
Or have you done stupid things 2?

His really good in making some vids and answering all our questions. then we give back by helping new people that are joining the GG family by making other videos or giving some guides etc.


I did a video on UFS if you have time take a look at it since it may help you through a few things and it has some tips and tricks. if you have any questions feel free to ask us

Danana,

you can relax, you are not alone here... I am here as well.... altough I have seen several times Bishop's movie and others.I still have problems to make this beauty work as it should. And I do not understand what am I doing wrong... To quote a friend: "the stupid is alsways in front of the (PC) screen". That's me...

My UFS did not have the 2 o-rings that should seal the transparent part, plus the o-ring that comes between the center contact and its plastic isolator; luckily I ordered a spare set so I was able to fix that quickly.

However, I still have problems. I am getting my mouth full of liquid and I hate this... No idea why... and I have re-built it many times.

Last evening it was working fine, this morning it stopped. I found out somehow the button was not making a proper contact. Somehow I got this solved.

So, please experts, help! I hate the liquid....

The mouth full of liquid thing is the flow being open 2 far, closed is all the tank part that's everything above the knurled vent thingy wound up as far away from the button as possible its backwards from how the sink works.to get it to release juice it dosent seem to need winding back the other way very much at all

no one is more dumb that I am. That I can assure you. Even I figured it out eventually. :)

we have all been there my friend!

Ahh the memories lol. I ruined my first UFS within about 30 seconds by jamming the positive post through the bottom cup and shredding the Tiny orings inside lol..

As for the OP, if you're struggling with serious juice mouth, I strongly suggest popping a carto in there. I'm assuming you're using an atty, and even the best of us on the best days can have flooded atties from time to time. Cartos are way more forgiving and are great to practice the feeding system. Once you perfect keeping them wet without flooding, then maybe have another shot at the atties.

Progress review. Its a lovely vape. What I am learning is how organic the process is.There is this constant adjustment going on more air less air more juice less juice, every adjustment changes the result, its so addictive.Prior to my gg ufs setup I was using a vivinova on a lavatube.I was fairly happy with that but I'm now aware how much cleaner the ufs tastes in comparison.The juice in the vivinova would darken I imagine with dirt from the wick and element washing back into the tank and the flavor would irreversibly change.The ufs can be made to slightly burn the juice but you can reverse it back to clean. Like Chinner said it can still flood. I did that last night as the tank was getting empty.It seems to get a vacuum in the tank as the liquid gets used so I loosened the top but forgot to shut the air, it bubbled then flooded. As has been said before its not a beginners vape but I love it it feels alive

With my UFS, I would screw in the atty, but apparently not tight enough and would end up with all of my liquid draining right into the collector tank. Then I would screw the atties in with a pair of pliers and would end up over-tightening them or bending the crap out of them.

I don't believe that it is a matter of stupidity as much as there is a steep learning curve with many of these devices.

Those problems will stop by putting Achilles inside UFS guys. Achilles is made exactly to work on tanks with a much sufficient liquid control that those China atomizers.

If you remember, before 3 years we invented the feeding system on atties from their side holes and on punched cartos. Now we made Achilles!
