SSGGTS coming. what else will I need?

[RiverNut]

Well that's very encouraging sedge! Thats more than acceptable performance in my opinion. Hopefully I can get the same from my new TS when it arrives. Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your results.

Is there anything special that you do to your TS, like no ox or lubricant of some kind on your threads?

Noalax for the threads or vaseline in a pinch and vaseline for the o-rings.

Keep some 99 percent alcohol around to swab the contacts as well once in a while. My ProVari's started acting weird until I swabbed the contacts after a few weeks of use. Now I sort of just swab all of the contacts in everything I own on a regular basis.

I do use a fiberglass pen to buff contacts, leads and threads.

Noalox should only be used for aluminum and just threads per the mfg. No-ox-id is what I use in my ss mods on threads and contacts. Learn from the train and flashlight guys.

Don't use inside your Ody tank. I just started using food grade silicon instead of Vaseline on my GG stuff. Been using it on other mods for awhile.

By the way . I just threw up quick links as I am not at my computer where I have bookmarked the best prices I've found. Shop around.

Ok. I started at 9:00 am with a freshly charged (Pila) AW IMR 18490. It tested on my Fluke 115 at 4.184v. Using an Ody with TS base. Used a 1.6 ohm coil and had the Kick set at close to 9w. Vaped two tanks, about 6ml of BWB RY4 24mg. Used it constantly till about 6 pm. Its still going but had to switch flavors and go to a lower nic for the evening. Bat tests at 3.618v. I'll use it more in the morning and test again when it shuts down.

Ok. This morning the Kick stopped after another 30 minutes and tested at 3.468
