USB and 5 volt options

[Sar]

Hi all,

I read some comment in one of the posts about up-coming 5-volt option and some type of USB module and would like to find out more. Could someone please point me in the right direction for that info?

I have wanted to get GG and later GG Transformer for a long time, but as Crash wrote in his now-closed thread, it is simply too time-consuming to find the relevant information. At this point, it is easier to shop for a car than for a GG.

Someone in Crash's thread suggested a wiki for GG. That would be absolutely fantastic. Could you please let me know if there is one already and what the URL is? Or is there a page that lists ALL available GG models, options and configurations in detail?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Emonty, thank you for the videos, but I already wasted 20 minutes watching them before I posted my comment. The guy used USB connector, but I still don't know what GG models does it work with, does it work as a passthrough or will it charge the batteries? I didn't hear anything about the 5 volt option -- did I miss it?

I really don't want to be getting basic product and purchase information from a video. The product may be immortal, but I am not.

Hi Sar,

An overview will come shortly. I know that the USB can be used as passthrough, but also to charge the batties. The 5V option is in the make and if these new options are only for the new GGTS or can be used for the GGT also, I have to say that I am not sure.

The 5 V options is with the attys. I am not the best one to explain this to you. Imeo attys has the volt option plus the GG can use many different types of batteries.

 

[Stormynights]

I believe a 6V battery combination and a 6V imeoatty =5V vaping.

Well that GUY is imeo, the maker of the GG. And the USB option is only for the new model GGS. It has not been produced as of yet. The USB option will ONLY run the atty and can not charge the batteries. And the 5v option would be the USB or wall plug power source that is selectable from 3.7v all the way to 9v. This is basic information about USB power sources. They are generally a 5v output. Making the GG a 5v PV without load.

And as for now the only product information we all have is from these information videos. Imeo's English has come a long way in a short time and he tries to explain things the best he can. That is what this forum is all about. We are here to help and answer questions you may have. Feel free to ask...... Hope this helps...

Hi my friend Sar!

I will try to answer all your questions

1) The 5 volt option means that we put 5 volts on a regular 3,5 ohm atomizer. That produces 7 watt. I can roduce 7 watt with the opositte procedure without putting electronic parts on the GG. I raise the atomizer's resistance, so you can have your 7 watts again just putting my new atomizer in 6 volt batteries.

2) The GGTS (and not the previous model GGT) will have a passtrough and a wall plug, so you can smoke in any possible way, because it takes all kind of batteries too, even if it is a small AAA battery.

3) If you want to purchase one, you can send me a pm after 15-20 days that it will be ready for sale and I will ship you the next day after I will see your purchase to my paypal account

I hope I helped

Thank you all for your answers/help.

Vapnaway, in your post you seem to indicate that the 5v option is only for USB:

... And the 5v option would be the USB or wall plug power source that is selectable from 3.7v all the way to 9v. ...

That would mean that the 5v would only be available when plugged into USB. Am I reading it correctly?

Imeothanasis, you seem to indicate that the 5v is not tied to USB, but rather it has something to do with the atomizer one would use:

... The 5 volt option means that we put 5 volts on a regular 3,5 ohm atomizer. That produces 7 watt. I can roduce 7 watt with the opositte procedure without putting electronic parts on the GG.

I am really sorry, but I am lost.

Maybe there is simpler way to explain. Lets say I want to purchase the GGTS model. Can you please list all the parts I need to purchase (when they become available) from imeothanasis for unplugged 5v vaping with my existing 510 and 901 atomizers?

ok friend I will make it easier for you

you can smoke at 5 volts with my new 801 atomizers for now and you will be able to smoke at 5 volts too with 901 and 510 atomizers that I am producing right now. But remember that 5 volts are not the best option. Maybe it was someday with regular atomizers but please try my new 801 ones and you will change your mind about this

Okay, now this is getting MUCH easier, thanks!

Please correct me if I have this wrong:

1. To vape 5 volts with GGTS, I need to get special 801 atomizers you sell.

2. To vape 5 volts with GGTS using 901 or 510, I'll need to get special 901 and 510 atomizers you will sell in the near future.

3. Vaping 5 volts is not the best option.

4. Vaping 6 volts is the better option (this is my assumption because your models support 6-volt option).

5. Will 6-volt vaping consume liquid faster than 5-volt vaping?

6. Will 6-volt vaping wear out standard atomizers faster than 5-volt vaping?

7. Vaping 6 volts doesn't require any special atomizers (again, my assumption becuase your GG models have been supporting high-voltage for a long time)

Thank you!

Sorry to cause more confusion. This is not easy to understand if you don't know electronics. When you have a resistor (atty) and a power source (volts) they equal a certain wattage (like a light bulb). We now have a low wattage bulb (atty) and high voltage batteries with added resister to get 5v.......the sweet spot.... (Prodigy)

What imeo has done is to make an atomizer that has more resistance (higher wattage bulbs) so we don't need the resistor in the circuit. The GG is all mechanical with no wires so there is no place to put a resistor.

I am looking forward to trying these new atties because I too like the 5v experience. 6v is just too much for me...

Hope this helps....

Vapnaway, your explanation is great. But going with the example, how come that GG can use 6V (or is it 7v?) to power the same atomizer without any resistor. Isn't there a battery that can output 5v average to power the atomizer the same way?

BTW, the fact that the GG is all mechanical with no wires is the main reason why I am interested in it.

 

[imeothanasis]

1,2,3,4 are correct sar

5 is right too but not with my atomizers. They consume the same amount of liquid

6 is right with regular atomizers, not with mine.

7 is right

I hope I helped Sar my friend

and yes vapn is right at all!


ps........ GG was 6 volt but now is 7,2 volt too with my new atomizers for 7,2 volt!!

and it powers not the same atomizer but MY atomizers with this high voltage

 

[Sar]

Thank you Imeo, I think I got it now.

The special atomizers you plan to sell, will one work for both, 5 and 7.2, volts or do people need to buy one for 5 and a separate one for 7.2 volts?

Will the atomizers be only available from you?

How much will they cost?

Thanks you.

Sar, I dont plan to sell, I sell those atyomizers already. the code is "imeoatomizers", just to know what we are talking about xaxa. They will work with 6 and 7,2 volts, no problem, but they will work the best if you buy the right atomizer for the right volts.

They are available only for me as GG is for now. But in future they will sold by all of my supliers

"Imeoatomizers" it is, thanks!

Imeo, please forgive me for putting my nose into what is none of my business, but please consider creating a page with comprehensive information about your products and all options available.

What you sell is not cheaply made and therefore not cheap. Although I know many people that are willing to pay premium price for quality well-designed product, I don't know many that would be also willing to put in this much effort that is currently required to gather information about your product.

You have huge amount of fans writing in this forum every day. They are coming here not because they are having problems but because they are happy with your product and service. I am sure that if you asked them to help you by creating a comprehensive product information page they would be happy to do that. You have accumulated lots of good will -- why not use it?

Just my two cents...

 

[emonty]

Hi Sar,

I am a BIG fan of the GG and I tend to agree with you but....Gems need to be digged out of the Earth, sweat, days of labour, hardship....

I quit smoking cigarettes one month ago, I never heard from the ECF, let alone the GG...I was very fortunate that it came onto my path....I want to shout to everybody: here!!...Look....Great stuff ....Buy...but....everything you get in life is when you are ready to receive it, no hurry....when the time is ripe...the people who are looking will digg, search and find this place!!!

"Imeoatomizers" it is, thanks!

I totally agree Sar, thanks , I will do it soon

I get left with the impression that the "sweet spot" is perhaps a matter of individual taste. Obviously some people have found 5v preferable and mention this when they prefer the Prodigy to current GGs. I haven't tried 5v myself only 6v and 3.5v, and 3.7v but I would like to.

With GG and battery evolution maybe one day I will be 24v GG vaping and doubling up as a "smoke machine" at the discotheque on the dancefloor ? <g>
