Audience
Running the My Golden Greek picture site gives me an insight as to which country users are viewing from. Assuming that the information Google provides is accurate, you can see there are people from all over the world visiting the site. Currently Germany and the USA are dominating the chart.
I also know from the GG forum that there are members everywhere, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say hello to all GG owners and fans around the world!
Bad news for UK GG buyers
It appears Imeo has decided to end his relationship with Cam and Golden Greek UK. This news has saddened me firstly because I always thought Cam did ok for me. More importantly it means that GG owners in the UK will have to shop further afield from now on. Playing the postman waiting game just got harder.
I know there are reasons behind Imeo's decision and I won't go into them here but I will say that I hope another UK based shop can be set up soon.
As of now UK buyers have been advised to use the Greek seller.

Batteries
One of the great things about the GG is the range of batteries they take. From small to large, there are batteries to suit all uses.
I have just had to buy some new batteries (18650's) for my GG. The ones I had were starting to fade and were not performing, leading to a miserable experience when trying to vape. I think I've had about a years use out of them, so not too bad.
My favourite battery for the GG has to be the 18650, I can get a good two days use from a full charge. I also use a 16340 when popping out to the shops. I use it with a stealth cap and a LR510. Fits nicely in the pocket and doesn't raise too many eyebrows when I use it.
I'm posting all this because I wanted to have a post that mentions the fact that different batteries can be used with the GGTS. Just in case any prospective GG owners were looking for information.
Pictures by Nudelholz
Every month I collect all the pictures of GG's from the 'Pictures Wanted' thread over on ECF. This month as I went through them I came across this video.
It is made by forum member Nudelholz who takes some of the greatest GG pictures I have seen. Take a look for yourself and see what you think.

Shiny?
When I first started vaping I was using a look-a-like, cheap piece of kit that I bought on the internet. It worked but looking back I can see how inferior it was compared to all the other stuff that is available.
At the very least my first e-cig sparked my interest in vaping, which is a good thing. And as I researched more I found that there are a huge number of different e-cigs and mods available. Among them it seemed that the GGTS was one of the most desirable.
I can remember spending a lot of time looking at GG pictures and wishing I had one. I also remember at the time, that nearly all the pictures I saw of GG's showed them in a highly polished, shiny state. It seems perfectly understandable. The GG is a prized possession and anyone owning one would naturally keep it in tip top condition.
However, I have a confession. Apart from the occasional strip down and clean, I do not polish my GG's. Ever.
When I first got them I did, but I've come to love the used look of them. All the little nicks and scuffs are not blemishes, to me they are proof of how much I love and use my GG's. I take my GGTS everywhere. It's the first thing I look for in the morning and at night it's the last thing I worry about.
I guess what I'm trying to say with this post is that although my GG collection is not as shiny as others I have seen, it doesn't mean I love them any less. It might affect their resale value but that doesn't worry me as I'd never sell them anyway.
