SSGGTS/UFSv2 help please...

[fright88]

Ha that is how I had the o-rings on my first 3 ggts till about 2 months ago. I can't believe I didn't ruin any batterys.

And I will agree with Major. Glad you seem to have it working right.

You also could have looked at the Illustration UFS Connector Assembly.

It seems these illustrations are getting lost somewhere

I actually DID look at it--multiple times. I just didn't have it handy when I changed out the o-rings because I was in the restroom using the sink to clean everything first. I will try to keep the files on my iPhone from now on.

<===Feels like a real noob. Oh well, we're all noobs at some time, right?

Thanks for your help, people. I really appreciate it.

Besides the obvious telltale sign of a battery just not providing vapor, how else can I tell if a battery is ruined?

I hear you brother Zor but rest assured your work is invaluable to the GG series. I am not aware of any other forum here at ECF that has the resources and talent we have here.

We do need to refer or include reference to them when questions do arise though. Since it is fairly unique to the GG series, I know I never even thought of looking for schematics when I was new here. Once I learned they did exist, I make sure I keep a them not only bookmarked but a local copy on my desktop for reference.

Sorry to .... in with you guys, but I'm expecting my first ever GGTS from Bruce which is scheduled to receive tomorrow!! So excited.. just trying to read some issue that I might be encountering in the future, and would help me if same problem happens to me. And I'm so glad that you guys are there to help.. Keep vaping and Happy Holidays!

I actually scoured the Wiki before my GG even arrived. Then, I found the instruction manual by doing a google search, and DLed it to my computer. On top of that, I've handed it off to other people I know who recently got GG's. Zor, your work is indeed appreciated VERY much. It's just that these mechanisms are complex for people who aren't necessarily familiar with all of the intricacies of handcrafted implements such as the GG. I just happened NOT to notice that the o-rings go UNDER the delrin insulator, but I have used the diagrams for other things.

Thank you for your awesome work.

Get a multimeter and check the battery. If it's good it should read about 4.2...if it's higher don't use it b/c it is damaged. I think lower will mean it drops off faster. There are some threads that show you how to use one if you are unsure (and you may want to double check my info. I could be explaining wrong). You can get a cheap multimeter for about $10. Lowes, home depot, walmart, etc. should carry them.

I know it can be a daunting task but read as much of the GG forum as you can. there is a wealth of information here and it can be searched if needed.

And above all else, never be afraid to ask questions, we are all here to help as best we can.

I took the whole thing apart today, washed it, cleaned it, lubed it all up, and then filled with Boba's Bounty in 12mg, and I have REALLY enjoyed vaping since. For some reason I am still able to vape with my JC completely closed, but right now I don't care.

I made this video it may help. It sounds right but the plastic should pinch the o rings to th pin which keeps it fairly tight

As for written instructions. Take apart the UFS. Unscrew the metal nut which removes the pin assembly. Then take apart the pin assembly. You should have 6 parts 3 o-rings pin metal nut and plastic piece.

Now take the pin and put on the larger o ring. Then put the metal nut on the pin (threaded end away from the flat head) Now put the 2 tiny o rings on the pin and slide them down to the metal nut. Finally put the black plastic piece on and screw in the metal nut. It may take a little working to get the o rings inside the plastic but they will go in. Once you finger tighten the metal nut thread the whole assembly back into the connector.

If you followed these directions and the pin still just falls out you may need new o rings.

Nice job, thanks. Nice Vette too
