Time for some real knowledge

THERE'S NO NEED TO REMEMBER MORE... I JUST LIKE THE GGTS so it's enough for me

 

Don't listen to them imeo. GGTS is where it's at!

 

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.

 

Imeo, how do you recommend cleaning any device? Contacts, innards, outside?

 

Would this be the same as white spirit?

 

Not quite the same .. You can find acetone in hardware store ros !

 

I find that regular rubbing Alcohol with 70% Isopropyl works great for cleanig and washing and what does evaporate leaves no real residue
on the mod or the parts.

It works great for me , however maybe 80 proof Vodka would be as good ? lol . If not , drink it !!!

 

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

 

That is some work there!!

 

Thank you captain, that would be awesome.

 

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.

 

Bish a toothbrush for threads works well however I'm talking about an extreme clean for stuff that has a build up of dirt and grime over time. Especially in areas where you can't access like inside 510 connectors in top caps or inside the vent holes in the bottom cap

 

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?

 

Ohhhh captain .... Now I need to put this on the list aswel .... I'm gonna get killed soon

Ps: well I tell my missis that it's for her jewellery ! That will give me a couple of weeks alive

 

YO STEVE MY BOY I LOVE YOU MAN... Im going to get me one of these for sure. Pm me one you think is best and Ill buy it.
