first of all I have to say that you have made an awesome theme. Kalium is great and perfectly suits my expectations. I see limits only in my vision, not really in Kalium :) But anyway, nothing is perfect, keep on refining and adding more features.
To my question: Is there any easy way I can use my custom grid layout made in within visual composer - grid builder also for portfolio item? When I say for portfolio items, I mean configuration present in kalium admin panel-portfolio section-thumbnail options or in page (in portfolio mode)-parameters and options section-portfolio-grid setting.
Thank you very much for your kind words, they really motivate us to work harder and improve Kalium everyday
Now the answer to your question:
As i understand this i think that this is not possible, but can you please try to be very specific about the question and explain it more to us, in this way we can easily understand you and give you the proper answer.
Alright. You certainly know how you made your photography demo. Each photograph is single portfolio item in light-box mode. Then you grouped them on page that is in portfolio mode and all portfolio items-photographs are linked and can be previewed via your lightbox. I used this logic too. But as I made photography portfolio page and did not want all photographs to be on one page I made parent Gallery page, where I have grid of child pages - albums, for instance Slovakia, Italy, Slovenia, etc. On those I was able to use my custom grid layout. When you open one album, the logic is exactly the same as on your photography demo http://demo.kaliumtheme.com/photography/
And this is the thing... on parent Gallery page with my albums - grid made of child pages, I was able to use my custom grid - custom thumbnails and hover effect but in inside of albums on my portfolios, there is different thumbnail/hover effect. In portfolio grid setting, I see rather limited options comparing to Post grid module available in VC back-end composer. Certainly I could use Post grid or Masonry post grid in VC but then I have no idea how to get those photographs being opened in your light-box. That said, I don't have an idea how to achieve unified look between my grid made of child pages-albums and portfolio items in inside of albums or differently said, how to apply the same design of Grid element template for portfolio grid when page is in portfolio mode. I attach a few screens to make it more understandable.
to sum up: for portfolio grid, there are only three layouts (shown on attached scrnsht) whereas there is option to create custom grids via VC Grid builder but with limited option to use. It would be great, if custom made grid were applicable also for portfolio layouts
Now i understand what you are asking, I'm really sorry but for the moment we don't offer any option like this, maybe on the next updates we can do an option like this.

Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.
