Custom Golden Greeks - Two approaches

While going over June's pictures for My Golden Greek I saw two sets of images featuring Golden Greeks that have had custom finishes applied to them, in two very different ways.

Although I like to keep my GG's as near to original condition as I can I understand how people like to change the appearance of their mods. I do the same thing with my mobile phone, applying custom ROMS, icons, etc. Standing out from the crowd is something people enjoy, whatever the subject.

Vape'nShine

The first mod here belongs to ECF forum member, Joshua T Clark. The finish on this mod was done by the folks over at Vape'n'Shine. I visited their website to get a better look at what they do and was very impressed by the high quality of work. There are lots of different effects and finishes you can have done, including custom designs. They also do plating and polishing, a service that might appeal to more conservative GG owners.

This is not a look for most GG owners but that's the point. A very unique and individual piece that shows what can be done with a GG.

The one that got away

The second mod I want to show you is owned by ECF user breminator. While visiting the beach he experienced every GG owners nightmare, losing his GG. He was taking this first set of pictures when the Indian Ocean took the GG away.

The good news is that a couple of days later he returned to the same spot and found his GG.

In his own words, "I began to grab in the sand at the beach, and after a few minutes the sea gave back, what was mine, yeaaaaahhhhh!"

Not only that, it also returned with a very unique finish courtesy of mother nature. Being in the sea and sand resulted in this distinctive patina. I think this finish looks amazing.

I'm so happy for him that he got it back, hopefully he will keep a tighter hold on it from now on!

The GG Stand from Fluid Vaper

For any serious Golden Greek collector there is the age old problem of how to display or store your treasured GG's. Speaking for myself, I keep mine on my desk where I can have them handy, although a display stand or case would be better. With my GG Stealth which I use the least, just being on the desk leaves small scuff marks on the bottom. Also every now and then I'll accidentally knock everything over which is annoying.

I have seen a lot of solutions to these problems over the years. Pen boxes, cigar boxes, aftermarket stands, there are options out there for anyone looking for them. Up until now though there hadn't been any storage options offered by Official Sellers. That has now changed with this stand made by the guys over at Fluid Vaper. As you can see there is plenty of room for your mods as well as a few RBA's.

The stand looks very well made and certainly sturdy enough to keep your precious collection safe. You can buy it at Fluid Vaper at this link Golden Greek Stand with Logo. I think it looks really nice and would sit well on any desk. It is also interesting to note that like the ESG iAtty this is another product that sees a collaboration between Imeo and vendors. I see this as a good thing and look forward to seeing if any more joint ventures appear in the future.

Tilemahos

With the launch of Esterigon out of the way the next releases by Imeo people are looking forward to are Tilemahos, Penelope Short and of course Proteus. As far as Tilemahos goes, a release doesn't seem too far away. Imeo has already posted a couple of video's to Youtube demonstrating Tilemahos and I have to say it is looking very good already.

Tilemahos will be the latest GG rebuildable atomizer, a 'fat Penelope' designed to fit Esterigon. At 36mm long it will be shorter than Ody but surprisingly it holds around 3.5 ml of liquid where the Ody has a 2 ml capacity. Imeo has made a few subtle changes to the internal parts to improve performance but I am betting the internal parts won't be too dissimilar to the internals of the Ithaka upgrade.

You can check the video's out to get a sneak peek at performance and looks. Hopefully it won't be too long before Tilemahos is released, I know there are a lot of Esterigon owners waiting for one.

CaptSteve's ESG iAtty Review

This is another great review from CaptSteve. This time it's on the e-smokeguru iAtty. As you can see from the stunning pictures, the ESG iAtty is a perfect match for Esterigon. Thanks again to Steve for letting me post these here.

The ESG Iatty

"Well what can I say about an atomizer that has a cult following. I have good friends who still vape nothing else other than the iatty since they bought the very first issue.

I'm happy Vassilis convinced Imeo to make a short tank version of this great atty and frankly this is the only difference the ESG iatty has over the original iatty. It's widely accepted that the Iatty produces great flavor and I personally believe it's the combination of the bell chamber area and narrow diameter of the chimney.
In fact if we look back in time we'll realize that iatty was the first atomizer tank to have a chimney which also controlled juice flow. What today exists in many atty designs was first conceived in the Iatty.

The best setup I've found for the Iatty (personal opinion) is with dual 1.5mm silica (one on top of the other) and the coil sitting inside the ceramic. You can use 2mm as well but anything more than that you'll require to open up the width of the slots of the ceramic. I pass the non-res wires through the holes at the bottom of the ceramic and then insert the two o-rings for the ceramic to sit on the plastic top cap.
Having said that I've also enjoyed dual coils (it's a hot vape), microcoils and nanocoils with cotton in the iatty. Pretty much the sky is the limit.

All said and done this shorter ESG iatty vapes just as well as all my other iatties but looks absolutely sick on the Esterigon which is the same diameter.
If you want some great tasting vapor you have to try the iatty, she puts out."

CaptSteve's Esterigon Review

Over on ECF I saw a couple of posts from CaptSteve that I loved and really wanted to share. This review of Esterigon is great on it's own but with the pictures, it's simply fantastic. With the Captains kind blessing I am posting his review below.

Esterigon

"Just came back from the annual vacation in Greece where as every year had the chance to see all my good friends. Imeo, Vasilis, Stelioss, Zantos to name but a few.
Of course I had the chance to pick up personally my Esterigon and Iatty mini ESG from Vasilis (before we went out drinking). What a great little mod it is, simple with great design as always and excellent performance. I did a volt drop test myself (yes I'm aware of all the limitations) and found that Esterigon has quite insignificant loss. On a 0.7 ohm coil I showed on average (over 6 measurements) 0.16v which is pretty damn impressive considering the bottom contact is SS and not brass. I did the test with a Sony VTC5 freshly off the charger.
The button operation is smooth and extremely responsive and the locking mechanism is simple and ingenious.

I know that Imeo has perhaps been accused by reviewers in the past of making complex mods/atties with many parts but frankly this latest creation is so simple I would highly and unoquivically recommend it to even a beginner. I didn't find much that can really go wrong with Esterigon other than perhaps your normal use cleaning of threads and contacts. However having said that the thing is so easy to take apart and clean that I would rank it easier than a GGTS or a JustGG.

My gripe with my buddy Imeo was why 21mm when most non GG atties which many users have are 22mm but after I've used it now for about 8 days I can say that it's a really comfortable size (see comparison image to JustGG) and having on there a 22mm or even 23mm atty is no issue whatsoever.

Fitting of batteries was absolutely fine with all of mine which I tried with the exception of one 18500 AW IMR which I had to remove the little AW silver oval sticker.

We did discuss one or two possible future improvements for Esterigon and I'll let him tell you in his own time about that.

Imeo was kind enough to let me have his Prototype Tilemaxos to try and I can tell you that it sits beautifully on Esterigon with an almost hybrid look. I've taken a "sneak peek" photo for you but did some blurring as this is still only a prototype. First impressions are good but I'll leave it at that as this is something Imeo will show you when he's ready. I'll just say that you will like very much what he's come up with.

Imeo has done some incredible progress with Proteus and I think he's going to make our wait well worth it.

I'll let you know my impressions of the Iatty mini ESG version in a few days with some pictures as I only had the chance to briefly vape it just once at Vasilis's store.

All in all I had a great time with good friends, amazing food and beautiful Greek sunny beaches."
