It's been a while since I had a look at what we have coming up in the GG line. In fact I totally missed the release of the different versions of Tilemahos in various diameters. I had seen them but didn't get round to writing about them. I admit I was probably quite late in seeing them, in fact the first I knew about them was when I saw these pictures, already well into production.
Now I'm determined to stay ahead of the game on the latest devices Imeo has lined up. Adam on ECF started a thread about future mods where Imeo has confirmed a new tube style mod, a 30mm GG4S a new 32.5 mm mod and most exciting to me, a box mod.
The tube style mod will be a 23mm side firing similar to the Esterigon but with a bigger button. It's small like Esterigon and has a simple and effective lock mechanism. Pictures should be ready in about 3 weeks so I'll keep my eyes out for those.
No more info on the 30mm GG4S but that isn't hard to imagine. The 32.5mm mod sounds interesting. Again with this mod there is not much information I have found but I'll keep looking.
Lastly the box mod will be a small and compact mechanical box mod. Smaller than anything seen before with new functions and very easy to operate according to Imeo. No word on if it will be series or parallel or what size battery it will take. I can't wait to see what it will look like.
Talking of box mods I think one area where Imeo has missed an opportunity is in the high end box mod area of the ecig market. This could be his first step in that direction. Coupled in the future with VIR he could have a huge hit on his hands. If you look at any high end box mod you will see thay are in constant demand and very hard to get hold of, it is a growing market as people move on from smaller regulated devices to something bigger and better. I would love to see a Golden Greek mod, VIR inside, made of a mix of Steel/Wood/Stabilised Wood or even high quality plastics, take your pick. There are some beautiful box mods around and if anyone can create a mod to beat them it's Imeo.
Finally at the very end of the ECF thread Imeo mentions the future use of Zirkonium as a metal for ecigs. I found this picture below and it looks like an interesting material.
I doubt Imeo has such a rough finish in mind though! It has a strong resistance to corrosion, is refractory and hard, as well as resistant to chemical attack. It is often used in surgical equipment, dental implants, knee and hip replacements, etc. It sounds like a very robust material but all we really need to know is 'Does it polish up well?!'
The futrue looks good for GG with some exciting projects on the horizon. I will do my best to keep on top of them and bring you any news as I find it.
