Thoughts on the GGTB - first week

[B-Rad_The_Mad_Vapr]

Mistress you can get 17500 LiMN (IMR) batts for more mAh than the 14500 and try Ikenvapes attys, they last forever, his LR are 2.0 ohms

 

[Automaton]

Thanks B-Rad. Truthfully, I've never had an atty die. Not even an LR. My oldest LR is about 3 months old now, and I've given away most of my regular atties (3-5 months old), still kickin' out the vapor. But I'm always up to try new atties. I hear good things about Ikenvape.

But I'd love to get a bigger LiMN. I didn't know the 17500's came in LiMN.

John, yes, i'd love to see a pic, how long did it take you?

Brad, i did think of doing that, but the new caps are slightly wider, so spoils the line of the GG, presume the bottom part will be the same, didn't try that...

Mistress, i'm with you on not wanting to try the higher voltages, even my GD passthrough at 5v is a bit too much...lol

There are LiMn 17500's out there; I've got one
I also have a couple of LiMn 14650's on the way from China.
Nobody seems to have 17670 or 17650 LiMn's yet, but i'm sure they will come.....

EDIT> B_Rad beat me to it I got my 17500 and 14650's from Best-in-one....

I wasn't aware, mine was one of the older batches also, so haven't seen one of the newer problematic ones

 

[Lilac]

That looks great John, thanks, think i'll be doing that too

Brad, here's a pic of the 2 caps, side by side...the old cap is on the left, new one on the right..

 

[Bluemagnum]

Lilac, just take the pin out of the old cap and put it in the new one. I had the same problem with mine but rather than mess with o rings I filed the pin down to the top of the slot. Probably can't use 808's on it now but everything else including adapters is fine and it's not an airy draw. As for batteries, 5v Mako (4.8) fit perfect in the GGTB, rarely I use anything else!

 

[Automaton]

Mine doesn't come up anywhere near that high. It looks more like the pin on your older GGTB. It's only when I screw up the conductor, which pushes up the pin, that the draw changes.

Try just untightening your condoctor on the bottom of the top cap. It will unscrew a bit and stay where you set it, and pull the pin down with it.

MistressN,
Glad your enjoying your GGTB, I love mine too.... Its very versatile as far as battery combos ... just bout as versatile as the GGTS, but in a smaller package, witch is nice....

Not to mention, the price is right on the GGTB, very affordable, and you get a solid PV device.... Imeo and all the suppliers really hit this one out of the park... they made it super affordable...

Anyways, Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your GG....

I replaced my metal spring with a copper one it seems better like it has more power,

but in reality maybe it's just the placebo effect Lol

 

[Lilac]

Ah...Bluemagnum & Mistress...thank you, i shall explore both options tomorrow

 

[Lilac]

Bluemagnum, i did as you suggested and the draw is now perfect.....thank you

your tip worked as well, before i swopped the pin Mistress, so thanks to you also

Magnum, interesting that the mako 5v batt fits the GGTB....might have to try that, lol

 

[perpetua]

I've just bought the 5v batteries & charger Lilac for my GGTB, so thank you for that heads up . . . now I've to hunt for some 901 standard atomisers!

 

[Lilac]

Good job you reminded me of that Perp, if i get them, i'd have just stuck an LR on there..
