The Waiting Game

As I write this the shipments of Just GG's have been posted and are on the way to GG sellers, where they will be sorted and posted out to those lucky enough to have bought one. After a few minor delays during production I know this comes as good news to many.

From the brief glimpses I've seen so far, I am sure this is going to be a very good GG and maybe take the title of King of the GG line. The GGTS has had a good run, it's still hugely popular and is still very much in demand but it will be interesting to see how well the Just GG is received.

So far the Just GG is a limited run, after which there are lots of projects Imeo wants to get finished. When these are completed maybe Imeo will do another run, if there is enough demand.

Talking of GG projects, Imeo has revealed plans to stop development of Achilles. There were mixed responses to this news on the forums. I know it is not a choice Imeo made lightly and I hope one day he might re visit the idea. Personally I liked the idea of an all GG UFS.

The good news is that instead of Achilles, Imeo has been working on the new Penelope rebuildable and Proteus, for which there is already a huge list for those wanting specific serial numbers.

Exciting times ahead for GG users, starting now with the traditional stalking of the mailman/woman for Just GG. If you have one on the way I hope you don't have to wait too long!

Wick & Wire

Let me start this by saying the following post is all based on my personal views and opinions.

I recently had to buy some more wick and ordered from the Vape Mesh Company. I got a small sample pack to have a look at the different wicks and wires and I have to say I am very pleased.

Everything came neatly packed and looks to be very good quality. I am busy at the moment cleaning all of my rebuidables but I can tell these wicks are going to be the perfect size for Oddy, Ithaka, etc.

The company ships worldwide and I can speak from personal experience when I say the customer service is great.

Just GG Update - Engravings

Imeo has revealed a slightly changed look to the upcoming Just GG. This time it is the engravings that will be different.

As you can see in the pictures, the logo has been rotated and the reverse of the Just GG will be engraved with 'made by Imeo' and 'to my good friend.'

There has been mixed reaction to the engravings but I think they are fine. They are still a long way from the craftsmanship of Otto Carter but Imeo has hinted at the possibility of a GG with fully engraved tubes. 

It will be interesting to see if the decorative side of the GG develops and if so, what Imeo comes up with.

Just GG revealed.

Imeo has just made a short video with a sneak peek at the finished version of Just GG. Imeo explains in the video that the adjustable air control ring has been made too loose, with the channels for the o-rings too big.

Unfortunately this will result in a small delay as he gets the problem fixed. On the plus side, it is great to see the Just GG all shined up, it looks fantastic. Check out the video for yourself.

  

After taking all the pre-sales into account, there will be a further 300 Just GG's for sale. So if you didn't catch the pre-sale keep an eye on the sellers sites for some Just GG's soon.

Otto Carter

A while back I posted a picture of a GGTS that had been customized with engravings. After a bit of hunting I found the company that had it made, Vaperev. The store is based in California and is very clearly a high end outlet for vaping products.

Looking at their site again I have noticed some more engraved GG's, this time GGTB's. There are two listed but only one available so it looks like one was sold. The price for the one remaining is $2000 which is obviously a lot more than the price for a standard GGTB.

The engraving though isn't just engraving, it is the work of artist Otto Carter. On his website you can see more examples of his engravings on everything from bottle openers to motorcycle parts. In the video here you can see Otto working on one of the GGTB's.

 If I had the money to buy one I wouldn't think twice. I think Otto does stunning work and these are a thing of beauty.

E-smokeguru

I think it's safe to say that the majority of vapers make their purchases online. It's the way of the world now and just about everything can be sourced online, somewhere.

So it's nice to see  actual, physical stores available for people to get a better experience when shopping. This store in particular pleases me because it stocks Golden Greek products. Not only that, it is also a very cool, modern looking store too.

The store is E-smokeguru and is an official distributor of GG items.

The store and website are both run by Vassilis, who I think is the fine looking gentleman on the right. A very good looking store with some very desirable products. I must say the staff are easy on the eye too!

You can visit the store in Salamina, Greece to meet them all in person or visit the online store at the link below.

GGTB Woodies

I've posted before about the wood finishes Torqueguy at ECF dresses GGTB's in but wanted to add a little update to the story.

After the initial run of wood clad GGTB's another batch were made but this time Imeo sent some modified parts to accommodate the wood better. You can see in the picture below the difference.

You can see that the fit is a lot smoother but still the same high level of quality. I'm not sure if these are still being sold but I wanted to document them here for posterity. Here are a few more pictures showing these amazing mods. Great work Torqueguy!

Tubes ready for working on.

A few finished examples. Note the shortened GGTB on the right.

If you want to learn more you can find all this information here on Torqueguy's ECF thread.

Just GG by dspin

These are the pictures of Just GG by dspin on ECF. Keep in mind that this is one of the prototypes and was sent unpolished, so the finished versions will look a lot shinier. I think even in this rough form it is still a thing of beauty.

Just GG

The next big thing in the GG world will soon be making it's way into the hands of lucky people all over the world. The model is called 'Just GG' and is a totally revamped version of the GGTS. The video below explains all the relevant details and shows all the clever improvements Imeo has made.

At the moment, other than Imeo, there are only a few people who have a Just GG. I'm guessing these models are pre production and were sent out for Imeo to get some feedback before final production. One owner is Bishopheals and you can see his review below.

Another owner is 'Dspin' who has written a nice review here.

After studying the videos and reviews I am certain that the Just GG will be a big hit with GG fans. It has improved on just about every aspect of the GG without turning into something else. It is still a GG but a much improved one. I know this is going to be great and I'm really impressed with the visual and functional design. I can't wait to see one in the flesh!
