GG VV will be for GGTS
As far as I think it will be a module between the battery compartment and the head of the GGTS. So it should be possible to put a stealth head, or an UFS onto it too, or am I wrong?
Or do You mean it won't boost more Volts out than the battery has (like ProVari), so it won't work with one 18650, but needs two batteries (18350) which don't fit into the stealth?

BTW @ Imeo: wouldn't it be time to start a sticky "official" GGVV thread?

I think you got a bit confused on the provari thing...
The provari gives more voltage than the battery that it has...for example..one 18650 has 3.7V (give or take) and you can BOOST IT UP to other higher voltages since it has a step-up module.

Some mod's have step-down modules that cut down the voltage...for example two 18350 gives about 7.4V and it cuts that voltage down to...let's say 4V.

The only thing that the Provari cuts is the amperage.
For example if you want to use a 1.5ohm (LR) atty at 5V it won't let you because the circuit is protected.

The V2 provari can go up to 3.5amps so 1.5ohm (LR) atty at 5v will work since that is only 3.33amps :)

Hi SkeetS
So is the GGVV Module to be a "BOOST IT UP to other higher voltages (step-up) module", or a "step-down module".
In other words will it provide, say, 5,5Volt with ONE 18650 (or 18350), or will it need TWO 18350 for this job?
(Excuse my englisch, I didn't know the correct words for the two types, but that's what I meant)

The only one who knows exactly is Imeo. However in the past he did say it would work on the Stealth so it sounds like it will probably be a booster style. However this info is many moons old and Imeo is constantly thinking of better ways to do stuff so it may not be accurate. I think the best we can do is wait and see.

Step-up Circuit example: one battery 18650 can provide MORE voltage than 3.7V (let's say 5.5V)

Step-Down Module example: two batteries 18350 can provide LESS voltage than 7.4V (because two 18350 will provide the 7.4V)

So...Step-Up circuits are for increasing the voltage and Step-Down are for lowering.

Provari uses Step-Up circuit (1 battery for all voltages)
Some DIY mod's are made with Step-Down circuits because they are cheaper.

The GGVV is still unknown how it will work but i bet it's a step-up circuit.

There are some Russians (no, not that guy) who have a very interesting vv pcb module. They sell it in a finished form form for their own mod. I ordered one of the circuit boards today.
I've noticed that too but for that price i rather get a second handed Lavatube and disassemble it for the PCB...It's cheaper and you get a TI PCB.

Can believe you said this because I only thought of myself today,
I did just buy a couple of 5V 18650 size batts and charger for the minute that were really give away on the classifieds where someone had sold a megladon, but I was wondering about a broken Lavatube, but by the way, what is a "TI" printed C board please Skeets
All the best
