Another GG on the way.

I have been away from the GG Forum on ECF for a while so I've had a lot of catching up to do. I completely missed the introduction of the one piece 18650 tube. It's a very nice addition that looks like an oversized GGTB when in use, visually stunning. A perfect piece for those of you who like clean lines on your GG's.

One thing I noticed the last time I was on ECF was that Imeo had hinted at a new GG project. Looking for more information I have found these recent comments that give a glimpse at what Imeo has been up to. I've edited them together for clarity.

"I was working hard day and night on new GG mech. It turned out a piece of art. I love it. I hope soon I will be able to make a video to impress you!

I only need a spring, and to make button a little longer. I also missing an o-ring for the body. So I believe that in 10 days I will be able to have those parts to upload a video.

A new battery holder. Its a design that I always wanted to make but I didnt want to make something NOT compatible with GGTS, thats why I made justGG. But this time I felt free to make something totally different.

I dont know what exists in the market but what you will see is totally my design. Locking mechanism is totally different, button it totally different, no need to adjust anything because its self adjustable, new ways to increase conductivity to maximum, new spring applications that dont exist anywhere in the world in any device maybe, a little different air control, easy to clean contacts, and..........very user friendly as always." - Imeo

I have no idea what it could be but I'm sure it will be popular, whatever it is. There have been various guesses floating around, the man with the answers remains as cryptic as ever though. One thing is for sure, Imeo shows no signs of slowing up in his mission to satisfy every vaper. 

Pic of the Month February 2014

There were a lot of very good photo's posted in February over on the ECF GG Picture Thread. From high quality pictures to awesome collections, it was a good month for GG eye candy. I really enjoy going through the pictures and feeling that little bit of envy at what others have in their collections.

The picture I have chosen though is neither professional nor overloaded with GG's. The winner for February is mitergreen with this solid little combo. I am including the comment posted with the picture as I found it sums up the photo perfectly and it made me laugh.


"Took a tumble onto the shed floor , buffed scratch out with my teeth .

GG - built tough ........ for men .

Old school two tone stealth . Ithaka full metal jacket! Wide open throttle !"

When you see a ton of perfectly polished and displayed GG's it's easy to forget the actual purpose of them, that is to be used. There is no doubt GG's are constructed to a high quality and with his picture mitergreen reminds us of the durability of GG's too. 




Penelope V3 - First impressions.

I received some Vape-mail today which I had no idea was coming so it was a very pleasant surprise. What was delivered is what you see below, the Penelope V3. I am a big fan of the original Penelope V1 and the V2. I still use mine now and then, especially on my Stealth for short trips out. It is a great little atomizer that can compete with the best. Here's my quick rundown on the V3.

Changes

The Penelope V3 has been given an update along the same lines as the Ithaka upgrade. The internal connections are now the same as the Ithaka upgrade, allowing coil building without the need for no res wire. As with the V2 before it, the GG wings are now on the base rather than on the main tube of the tank, on the opposite side of the wings is the serial number. I think the plain tube looks really nice, the more subtle logo is much cooler.


Apart from the internals the design is very similar to the Penelope V1. This makes a lot of the parts compatible, therefore giving you more spares if you ever need them.


There are a few changes with the connection. It features a shorter, adjustable positive pin and air flow holes.


The connection for the coil wire is the same as Ithaka design. The housing has a slightly larger cutout for wick/cotton. I've been using cotton for a while now and I can see those cutouts helping to keep the cotton wet.


 Building a coil is very simple and takes a lot less time. Another big advantage for me is I can use the Dripper part from my Oddy to make a rebuildable dripper that is around the same size as a AA battery.



Conclusion

Overall I think this is one of the coolest Golden Greek tanks Imeo has made. The Penelope is now even better than it was. I love the small size, ease of use and the stylish look of it. If you get the chance to buy one I'd say it would be a good investment. 

The Penelope V3 is a fantastic bit of kit, it's simple as that.
