hides bad polish work
nothing can be hide

doesn’t require any skills
requires a lot of skills

no danger to make the tube squared
big danger for the tube to be squared

light doesn’t reflect on it so flaws are not shown
nothing can be hidden under light

doesn’t make rounded corners
it doesn’t make rounded corners too, I just want them like this to make tubes more friendly and good looking

cheap
expensive

Cleaning isnt required after "polishing" job
Cleaning is required

2. Some people say that they prefere electronic mods because they don’t require cleaning. That’s a myth. Leave your electronic mod without cleaning the cap from where you put batteries on it or the main tube or leave uncleaned the spring and the conductivity will be worse than a mechanical mod. Also and because you cant clean all the contacts of an electronic mod like pcba contacts, conductivity can be worse than a mechanical mod (I am talking about mechanical mods that support easy way to clean contacts like GG for example)

3. Hot spring is a spring made of a material that has low melting point like brass, copper, aluminium[/TD]

4. Silica is not dangerous for your health because its tested. Noone can speak for sure for other materials exept a test has been done already

5. What display shows on an electronic mod is not always what you really get

6. If contacts of an electronic mod are dirty the display shows you the desired number of volts / watts but the current though the electronic circuit isnt the right one. So if your electronic e-cig doesnt satisfy you any more, its because it needs cleaning, otherwise you think that you vape at a specific number of volts / watts but you just dont

7. Shined surfaces are much more resistant to oxidation than mat surfaces

8. A telescope on an e-cig is wombling because:

a). If 2 surfaces dont meet each other there will be always a wombling between them
b). The less the threads that telescope has, the more the wombling.
c). Wombling also depends on threads's quality. Bad made threads drives to more wombling and more possibility for cross threading. So the wombling in any part of a mod is not made to prevent cross threading but it will drive to a cross threading!

9. All mods have a drop voltage and it depends mostly on the resistance we put on it. The more the resistance, the less the drop. A low resistance atomizer will drive to a big drop. Also the drop voltage depends on materials we use on connections and of course the build quality of the mod and the atomizer.

10. We always measure drop of voltage under load. Without load we just measure the voltage of the battery. The right procedure is that we vape and we see the voltage. Then quickly we unscrew atomizer and read voltage again.

11. Plated surfaces dont offer better but worse electrical conductivity no matter of the material we used to plate them

12. Stucked Li-Mn batteries dont explode. The best solution is to keep them in pairs

13. electronic devices need very good connections to work well, thats why some electronic mods allow vaper to vape for 1 hour and others for much more

14. Two batteries in a row on electronic mods always work better than 1 battery

15. Shined surfaces give better electrical conductivity

16. Bottom venting holes are dangerous in case of a battery explosion because the mod will go directly to your throat

17. Venting holes near atomizer are dangerous in case of a battery explosion

18. letting wires getting red hot or oxidising metals and vape them is dangerous for your health. You vape oxides because you destroy the structure of the metal

19. Use only biocompatible materials for your vaping, like titanium and maybe stainless steel. Dont use any wire around

20. Burn taste is very dangerous for your health

21. Big watts are required only because of a very fat wire. Keep your wires up to 0,5mm and the only you will need is 1 battery or 2 batteries in series. Bigger watts are really useless

22. The best-healthiest wire for vaping is Zirconium

Great Aron!

I am hearing nonsenses from time to time and I am always answering but better to put all the right info in one thead to find it easily

Thank you Imeo for taking the time in doing this. Many new users and many more people that want to own a GG device may not know what the advance users know. Its always good to hear it from the top. Good Idea to have it posted so we can direct any current new or soon to be user.

Good Job.

I'll try and upload an ultimate cleaning procedure for you guys tomorrow using my home brew and my ultrasonic cleaner. Of all the things I've tried including the above I've found nothing more effective.

A prelude to what you can do with my method is shown below in the restoration project I did on this Alu Rev1 GGTS. This thing had grime built over a few years of usage

My cleaning procedure may be a little different. its very safe, what i use is hot hot water with toothpaste and toothbrush. I unscrew my whole ggts and take it completely apart. I then dip it in a Tupperware with hot water and then i take one piece at a time and use toothpaste and toothbrush to scrub and clean each part. then I place it in another Tupperware wear full of clean hot water to clean it and rinse it out. I then apply a little wax to shine the parts up. Then I proceed to use Vaseline by the threads or you can use a food grade greaser. I then put the pieces together and admire it for a few minutes before I start to set it up for a vape.

Many ways of cleaning it this is just one of my ways.

Ultrasonic Clean of GGTS parts

Friends as promised I'll describe my method of cleaning all my GG parts. I use an ultrasonic cleaner which you can pick up from stores or Ebay for $30-40. I fill the ultrasonic's stainless tank with a mixture of hot water dish washing liquid and white vinegar

The approximate ratio is 3/5ths hot water 2/5ths white vinegar and a good squirt of dish washing liquid. For severe grime you can slightly increase the vinegar but make sure the water is real hot.


Here is the ultrasonic cleaner with the parts inside before filling



and here it is filled with the cycle running



Before items and after items


Stealth Cap



GGTS engraved tube



Telescopes



GGTS Top Tube



GGTS Bottom Cap



The images here were of two of my daily use GG's which needed cleaning

The leftovers



Now I know not everyone will want to spend $30-40 on an ultrasonic cleaner but truly it's a great devise to have in any home. I use it to clean jewelry and anything really which is water proof. Also 510 atties clean up great ant taste like new

I used to use the ole toothpaste and brush to clean my jewelry, but after all the new pastes started coming out with more grit and abrasives to whiten, I was afraid to. Any brand in particular you suggest? I hate to scratch my beautiful stainless finish. Actually, I got my Ody second hand, it has light scuffs and scratches, any good suggestions to lightly buff out without wear?
