[Bubbertyboo]

Hi im hoping someone can shed some light on this strange button i have its on my ggtb at the moment but came with my gg stealth #585 it has a sort of vent hole that goes through the face of the button can anyone shed some light on this or is it the rarest one in the world lol.

That is indeed odd and I can honestly say that is the first I've seen.

Probably an error piece that made it thru QC.

It should be safe to use I think and I would hang onto the button top for the novelty of it.

Pretty neat.

Ok I hate to break this to you but this doesn't look like it's authentic and I'm not talking only about the button. The bottom cap proportions are different. If you look at the top of the cap where it screws into the tube. Also what tube is this? It looks like aluminium or brushed stainless and there is no logo. Is this something you modified. Lastly the button certainly doesn't have a hole on the authentic one.

Lol its the button im interested in its on my ggtb at the moment a while ago when the ss caps came out i had a ss tube made for it the button is genuine it just has a hole in it drilled through the middle.

LOL ok, you had me worried because this looks so wrong bro for a Stealth/GGTS. Where did you get the button from, it may have been drilled out if it was used

I bought it of the classifieds on ukvapers it has changed hands 4 times i tracked 3 owners and the hole was there from the start i was wondering maybe it was a button from an older ggts or something its a lot thinner than my ss ggts button and way thinner than the new 2012 ss button.

its not one of my buttons bub

The main reason that happened is because if you are not careful on polishing you may end with this result. The hole inside button's head is very near to its upper surface and maybe get exposed if you polish very hard the head. It has happened to me but I threw out those heads

 

[CaptSteve]

No Imeo never made buttons with holes, so this is modified. However look at this image from a GGTB button I modified to a flat head. I discovered that after I grinded it flat it did have a hole further in the metal that got exposed.



Now this GGTB button isn't finished but you can see that once ground the hole was exposed

 

[Bubbertyboo]

It must of been drilled out by someone then oh well thought i had a prototype or something here it is stripped down Imeo does it look like a clone or just been drilled out maybe someone was over cautious about venting.

bubber, this button doesnt vent because button's axis closes this hole. I dont think that the man made this button thought that the button could vent this way. It was just an accident and he couldnt repair it.
GGTS has already 12 invisible venting holes. There is no other mod out there with 12 venting holes and vertical ones so GG will not come to customer's mouth if battery exploded. We dont need more venting holes for sure

If it was an authentic button, the only I can think is that the customer polished the button too hard in a wheel and the hole get exposed. But you said that this button is thinner than GGTS's button so its not mine for sure
