SS GGTS #992 Is home.

[Zogem]

Very nice. Another soon to be ex-smoker (hopefully) gets my eGo kit on saturday.

So, rather than high-jack other peoples threads, I figured I'd start my own for the pending questions.

So, next a supply of batteries. While I'm at 3.7v now, I plan to go 6.0v, or 7.4v. Latter being advantages as I can do both 3.7 and 7.4 with the same batts. But, concerned about constantly blowing attys/cortos; should I be? Am I best off waiting for 7.4 until I'm building my own with Odyssues or is the ~3 ohm rated stuff stand up to 7.4 ok?

Additionally UFS V2 is on it's way. ETA Unknown , but I want to get attys for that, again for 6.0v or 7.4v. Is there a a concenses on what generally works best. I know there it's somewhat subjective, but I suspect some are more highly regarded than others.

Even with the UFS, tend to flavor switch often, and actually have my GGTS and an Ego at hand. I would just swap some cartos out of the GGTS, but these SmokeTechs are surprizingly tight, so it's somewhat of a pain. What's the preference there, again 6.0-7.4 range.

So far, a very happy camper. Figured the finger placement would feel odd, but that took all of two minutes to get used to.

And finally, many thanks to all the contributors here. The wealth of information made the purchase desicion easy, as well as getting to that first vape on #992.

Cheers,

I have been using a Joye HV 510 atty in my UFS v2 at 7.4 volts. The HV atty is 4.65 ohms wheras one of their standard Joye 510 atties is 2.3 ohms. What I found from taking a couple apart is that the heating coil is the same diameter wire, just that the length is twice as much, so in use the HV 510 at 7.4 volts is producing around twice as much vapor than the standard 510 at 3.7 volts while having similar flavor and throat hit. Also the HV is using a little less than 12 watts (keep it wet) while the standard is using a little less than 6 watts. I use the standard on my stealth because to me a LR atty tastes too burnt and ruins the flavor.

Thanks for that.

Cool that you took it apart.. How's the wicking? I was concerned with the eGo stuff having watched some eGo T tear downs and it seemed that flow seemed week, and might let itself go dry under stress. What's your typicall PG/VG mix with that?

[Stinky Uncle Ed]

So far, I have been using the same HV atty for about a month in the UFS v2 with no problems with wicking. I use COV organics which is 100% VG and keep the juice control about 1/3 to 1/2 open. If it ever gets dry, I just open it all the way for a couple drags then close it back up. I had some awesome vapor juices that were 100% PG and honestly kept the juice control at about the same. Its easy enough to tell when anything is running dry with the UFS because normally it should be hitting like that first super flavorful hit of a freshly dripped atty.

 

[fright88]

6.0 and 7.4 v are going to use completely different types of attys.

So far my testing with 6v are as follows
1.7 ohm DCC are hitting 5.2-5.3v on a fresh set of batterys under load and I I like it much better then I liked LR and 3.7
3.0 ohm Single coil cartos or attys are hitting about 5.8-5.9 on a fresh set and I think are probably my butter range.

 

[inquisitorj]

I have to agree with fright here. 3 ohm single coil boge carto with 2 cr123 3.2v batts is heavenly. My favorite setup for the GGTS with UFS. My second favorite is a 4.5 to 5 ohm atty at 7.4v using 2 AW IMR 18350's.

An important note for batts. If you are going to stack batts, always keep them paired. Don't mix using them singly and then stacked. It is a safety issue. Have separate batts for 3.7v and sets for stacking to higher voltage.

 

[Torqueguy]

I only do 7.4v and use HR atties. COV has good ones in stock. The UFS has a learning curve so dont get frustrated if it taked you a couple tries. Once you get it dialed in though, it will be hard to put down. I had to drop my nicotine so i didnt overdose on it. You cant go wrong with the Red AW high drains. I get all day from a pair of 18350's and i run from 6am through 10 pm usually. As for cartos, I love the dual coils in 1.6 which will get you 3.2 total ohms. Less than that and I find the vape too hot.

How many ml a day do you vape if you don't mind me asking? I am really considering going to 7.4 of for no other reason then longer battery life

 

[Killjoy1]

So far my testing with 6v are as follows
1.7 ohm DCC are hitting 5.2-5.3v on a fresh set of batterys under load and I I like it much better then I liked LR and 3.7

Thanks for that info, fright. I don't really have the means to measure under load, but I could tell from the vape that I wasn't getting a true 6v on my dual coils and was very curious whereabouts it was really at

On a related note, I got one of those dual coil attys today and threw it in the UFS, loaded it with Gorilla Juice and set up for 6v and it's awesome

I go through about 6 ml, usually Halo which is very thin and i run it through a 3ml Liquidnator. I'm going to switch to Mapp tanks though. The last two liquidnators i got had poorly machined carto bores. They're not perpendicular to the face so the tank is crooked and it makes me crazy

 

[Zogem]

Thanks all.

Ordered a set of 6 3v plus charger. Going to get some of the DC attys from COV to start. Also getting a few more 3.7vs to stack just to try 7.4, mostly to see how the flavors react to see if I want to got that route.

Now to find that all perfect all day vape. Got a bunch a juice in today, and now have couple of filled with juice that just don't work for me after a few hits. Better learn the art of dripping .

 

[=MASHEENZ=]

Every 510 atomizer I've used that was marked HV stopped working within 3 days, some stopped working after a few drags. I drip though so the tank users might have better results with them. I use a ggtb with 2 AW IMR 3.7 batteries for 7.4 volts and the only thing that has lasted for me of the throw away type is dual coil coil 510 cartomizers. That has been my experience.

 

[Zogem]

That's kinda odd. We'll see what others have to say.. In the mean time I've IMed someone I know that exclusively drips at 6v with a proveri to see what he's using.

And, not opposed to a carto so long as there isn't polyfill in it.

Just a warning for you. The dual coil attys from COV don't do well at 6v. They actually perform really well at 3.7v. I found that they just burn the crap out of your juice at 5+ volts. If you want an atty at 6v, go for an HV atty.

Try big daddy tanks. They are really nice. They make a short version and a long version.

Man I hate to hear that about the Liquinators. It is semmingly inevitable that when ever a product tarts selling well that the QC is the first thing to go. I have to say though that that's yet another reason to love the GG series IMHO.

Imeo refuses to make short cuts in his quality. Sure that means some pieces are harder to get but you know even before you do manage to snag one of whatever GG you sreek that it will be as good as Imeo can make it. TO my thinking, that is yet another thing that sets the GG apart from the rest - Uncompromising quality!

 

[imeothanasis]

Major, you are right on this. If you knew how many pieces are going to trush-can you would think I am crazy to throw out my money. But better to throw out my money than throw out my name.

 

[Zogem]

3ohm clearomizers came into today.. So, I stopped by Frys for some batteries.. Yah for 6v. Unfortunately, 1 charger w/2 batteries in the whole store.. so switch hitting once they need a recharge.

Nope: Way to touchy. Anything much over a second, and it's all tasting burnt. The search continues.

 

[Zogem]

Ok.. need help, specifically from the 6v crowd. What exactly are you using for a good 6v experience?

I have 6v, and some 3ohm clearomizers. I sampled these on a 5v mod, and it was all fine, although that was day 1-2 into this, so hard to say. There was obviously something different, assumed it was just heat and intensity.

So now i set up 6v, with the CE2 clearomizers.. and and it's hit and miss.. Most hits taste burnt, most, not all. And it's repeatable across a few flavors. Drop in 3.7 and it's a nice flavorful vape, so the wick isn't toasted. So the wicking is to slow, or the flavor is getting blown out.

If you respond, please tell me what equipment you are using (atty, carto - links if you have them), and even what you've used that didn't work. (It's data that might be worth getting into a spreadsheet for the next 6v n00b, as subjective as things may be).

Admittedly, HV vaping might not be my thing. 3 weeks in and I'm not craving throat hits, a smoky taste, or volumes of vapor; it's pretty much nicotine and flavor...
