Ok I now have my 1st GGTS and its really nice craftmanship. My problem is as it stands it fits an 18650 but would like to use an 18650 and kick, so what do I need to get this setup. Some sort of extension tube?

Also have a Penelope another on its way, as well as an Odysseus (with GGTS base) on the way as I'm so frustrated with Genesis style rba and the fact they are really pocket unfriendly. I know with this setup people will say you don't need a kick as you control your resistance in the coil to suit your needs but I like consistent Voltage/wattage through out the charge of the battery.


So I guess to sum it all up what do I need to get a kick with a 18560 to fit in this and where would I find such a beast if at all? I did notice that COV had several parts but I think the only extension tube I had seen was to use 2 18650s which would be fun but I'm trying to back off High Volt vaping as I like it way too much and it ruins everything else for me!!

Thanks For All or Any Info You Guys Can Give

Genesis atomizers can be a pain but they have there place ( on the coffee table for home vaping ;) , try .25mm kanthal its much easier then .20mm and use the gg when your on the go

It was a custom made mod by my friend switcher to use an e-moli 26700 IMR battery + a kick. Its big so you can't really carry it in your pocket but makes for a great driving car PV. The big battery lasts and I believe its rated at 30-40 amps. I needed a smaller mech mod for pocket while trying the genesis style atties thats why I'm trying to track down as it looks another top tube for the GGTS so I use an 18650 and kick. The 18500s dont last me all to long and would rather carry a spare 18650 then 2 18500 in pocket! I would have thought that it would have been able to do so stocked but I should have asked before I purchased then maybe could have gotten the parts I needed before they were all sold out.

I am assuming Imeo will be getting more out soon actually would like to update button soon as well!!

GGTS with Oddy and GGTS base can be used with 18650 and kick without an extra top tube if you take out the batt spring. Works great and spring is not needed as protection w/kick. Assuming your using AW 18650's your telescope will be maxed out with no threads showing. The Panasonic CGR 18650's are a few millimeters longer though, and really stretch the limits of the telescope, works for me, but maybe not acceptable to others. This may also be the case for the Penelope once the GGTS base for it comes to fruition, we'll see.

Also, the 2x 18650 battery extension is really just three top tubes screwed together, just something to keep in mind.

Today I found that if you put a second o-ring on the Oddy center post it will give that little more space needed for the Panasonic CGR's to fit without telescope threads showing. I tried two extra o-rings first, but that did'nt allow the connection to be made between Oddys center post and GGTS's center post. One extra works just fine though.

Buddy save yourself the money and dont even use a kick. no need only make your coils with less resistance. Try a dual coil say 1.5 ohms each and dual tied them inside. if you want it hotter reduce ohms of each coil.

try this

I will edit the videos audio to be higher later in the week.

my wires are not bigger than 1,1 ohms bish. I always do as you recommend. Also those small in ohms wires dont let wick get junked easily


no smaller than 1.1 ohms that's because your native dragon. i can hang at each coil at 1.2ohm to get my .6-.7 ohms dual coils. but to go .5 ohms is a challenge not of making but of vaping. that sht will be hoooooot. Ill make one tomorrow to see if im able to handle that hot of a vape.

the beauty is its so customizable. anyone can make dual highlanders at there ohms preference.
