SS stealth cap won't fit

[steve321]

I'm having issues with my ss stealth cap. I had a new ss stealth and bought a ggts top section to make into full size ggts.

The problem is the stealth cap does not fit the top tube. The tube appears slightly too big. Has any one else experienced this? There is no way I can fit the stealth cap on the top tube. This is really annoying me.

I appreciate any feedback on this

u mean putting the stealth cap above ggts connector?

 

[Oddy]

do you know the serial number of the doner ggts, i ask because low numbered serial numbers had an issue with stealth caps.

think it was below #300

Set GG Stealth - GG-serie-France

I'm fitting the telescope onto this top tube then trying to put the stealth cap on top of this. It won't fit. Someone just told me its a known manufacturing error. I hope something can be done about this

 

[steve321]

I don't know the serial, were they replaced due to this error?

 

[alvinosj]

for my case, i only used the telescopic tube and the stealth cap directly for 18650 ,

i didn't add the extender tube.

 

[alvinosj]

the serial number of your ggts, is on the engraved tube itself..

I had this same issue but with my telescope... It was discussed here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/251006-issues-using-ss-stealth-cap-need-your-advice.html

It's a stealth, I purchased the top section second hand I don't know the serial of his ggts

Thanks I've just seen your thread but bit of a different problem. I really have no idea what to do with this

Unless I'm misunderstanding your first post, it sounds like the exact same problem, only with the top tube instead of the telescope. Loft who recently purchase a ssggts #75 second-hand had a problem with his stealth cap not being able to screw on both telescope and top tube. I would suggest contacting your local GG seller, I'm sure they are familiar with this issue.

Yes that is the problem what I meant was from your thread I was not sure how to fix the problem. I have now contacted my gg seller so I'll see what happens. Thanks for the advice

The issue only affected the first 300 SS GGTS - I myself had to get a replacement top tube. Imeo has let all his suppliers know this. Imeo stands behind everything he sells so no worry Steve.

I've got a similar problem, folks. My SS Stealth topcap won't go all the way down on my ggts nickel top tube. There's a 1mm gap. Is there some incompatibility between the nickel ggts top tube and the stealth cap?

It screws in but not all the way flush you mean?

can you take a picture and post here

 

[SparkyII]

Yes, Cap'n - that's exactly right. The pic above your post shows the gap - from my phone, so not great.

 

[CaptSteve]

I can only think of 2 things.

1) Just inspect the threads for any metal residue from the CNC process or check the inside threads of the Stealth cap for dirt. Also apply Vaseline and work it in out it should eventually screw in all the way if its that.

2) Where did you get the top tube from, maybe it's not original (yes common problem)

Also apply Vaseline and work it in out it should eventually screw in all the way...

first things first, ask politely.
