A new GG - GGTB

[Perpetua]

Not smitten tbh Lilac . . . still the BE112 might take a little breaking in I haven't used these before now, but I wasn't keen with a standard 901 either - loads of vapour, but the flavour loss is quite significant I found.

imeo,

i have read the 2 threads on ECF relating to springs and the atty screw and it was all getting a bit too heated for me too ask about my possible problem.
MY PROBLEM
i started a new batch of 901 LR eastmall attys and within a week 2 have died.
they could just be a couple of bad attys.
after reading the ECF threads there is a mention of the atty connector screw being very slightly longer, and if the attys are just a bit overtightened there could be a short, is this right and could it kill the attys.
if the answer is "yes" is the only cure not to over tighten the atty, the thing is i really dont believe that i do over tighten.
i would just like your opinion on this if you could do that.
i do realise that it may be just a couple of bad attys but they are normally very very reliable, i had been using a previous batch ever since ive had the GGTB with no problems, infact there bloody hard to kill normally.
im going to run thE next atty sort of loose and see what happens.

yes, dont overtight and you will notice that atties will last as usual rag:)

thanks imeo,
by that reply does that mean the screw does not go in further.

you screw atomizer till it stops, nothing more, thats it

thanks imeo,
i am now not screwing them till they stop im using them one half turn back from stop, and see what happens.
they were never screwed till they stop, i dont do that.
the thing is the problem may have nothing to do with the GGTB.
im just trying to eliminate what it might be.

I have seen people screwing atomizers and bolts in general with big force. I have seen this by reviewers too. There is no reason at all to do that. Our cig will not go anywhere lol

The bigger GGTB pin has a reason. Its made to fit 901 atomizers clearomizers and everything that exists in market and has 901 connection. So you do the right thing by not screwing hard especially the atomizer that can be damaged easily

thanks imeo,
lets see how it goes with them very slightly loose.

hi imeo,
it has blown another atty.
i am only tightening to the point where it begins to grip.
the problem with this is after a few times of having to tighten it a little because it has come loose the atty then goes on the thread that little bit more.
i assume this is then causing contact.
any advice please.

Check your connector rag. Take off the connector cap and svrew an atomizer. Look if connector is moving while you screw the atomizer. If yes, then screw hard the connector to the cap again. But even if connector is unscrewed your burned atomizers are not because of this. The batch of atomizers you got are bad for sure.
I also want you to check something else. Do you have a resistance meter?

thanks imeo,

the connector is not loose (assuming you mean the bit that touches the battery).
i have no resistance meter i dont think, what is a resistance meter?.
nobody else has had any problems with this batch of atties, which i believe was around 200 atties.

I dont mean the center pole Rag, I mean the whole connector. If you screw the atomizer does the whole connector moves? But even if it moves this is not your problem.

I asked you if you have a voltometer that can meassure the resistance too. If you want to buy one its cost is 10 euros and it will be very useful to meassure the resistance of atomizers too and the battery voltage. I wanted to see if the axis that has the spring on it touch the back cap.

Ok, lets say that this is the issue. If you want please do the following:

Unscrew the axis
Unscrew the plastic (if it doesnt come out with the axis together)
put a small piece of paper inside the hole of the cap
Screw everything in place

Try again

There is nothing else I can tell you buddy, exept that atties are bad.

Please imform me about your results if you will try what I told you:)

thank imeo,
where the atty screws too does not move.
when i was using an older batch of the same brand of this atty there was no problem at all.
as you say could be the attys, but no one else is having any issues with them.
i will use this new atty and see what happens, if it blows i will switch to the old batch and try one of them, then see from there.

the rest of what you told me i do not follow, sorry.
is there any video on utube that i might be able to watch.
raggy...

Also please check if the metal axis that you put out has a thin nose that machining procedure left there. If yes, then sand it in a sandpaper to make it leave.

Imeo, hope you don't mind me saying . . but that video link you kindly posted, cuts off after just a few seconds . . . so I'm no wiser either.
