GG Tilemahos - breakdown video by Imeo

Imeo has posted a more in depth look at the new atomiser Tilemahos. I won't say too much about it as you can see in the video all you need to know. All I can add is that it looks very good. It seems to be the perfect partner for Esterigon and will probably appeal to other mod owners too.

Note - the engraving is an interesting change for GG, CNC rather than laser engraved.

One last piece of good news, the price of Tilemahos is set to be €79. That is a great price and an affordable one that is very much welcomed. I'll post more updates as I get them.

New look GG160

The picture below is one of the first pictures posted on My Golden Greek in 2010, that seems like a very long time ago now. Since then I have collected and posted over 3,500 pictures as well as growing my Blog. I still love what I do just as much now as when I started. It's something I will continue as long as I am able to.

The reworking of the site is something I have been planning to do for a while. I've been working hard to give GG160 a make-over and a more current look. I know there are still a few bugs to work out and that there are links that don't work. I am working on it but decided to make the site live again while I do, I have done most of the harder bits already.

Also I plan on giving My Golden Greek an update soon too. I really don't like how the Blog template handles images, on GG160 images are handled nicely by a simple lightbox. I have a bit of homework to do before I attempt to update My GG but I will keep you updated.

Anyway, I hope you like what I've done.

UPDATE-22.7.14

Seems like the image slider on the main page is broken. I am trying to fix it but I can't seem to find the problem. I think it has to do with jQuery or JavaScript but I know nothing about coding so this may take a while. If I can't find the problem I may have to take the site down and rebuild it step by step to find the cause of the problem.

Any site changes to do with design and code I will add to this post from now on to avoid polluting the main feed with non GG news.

UPDATE-23.7.14

Fixed the slider issue. It was the 'back to top' button script for anyone interested. I removed it and all looks good again.

Coming soon - a bit of a change

Just a quick update for anyone interested. I am busy preparing something I think will be pretty cool. It's nothing too amazing but I think readers of this blog will really like it.

All I can say for now is I am working really hard to figure out how CSS and HTML codes work. I have no experience with coding so it's taking a lot of concentration and trial and error, I hope the end result will be worth it.

Normal service will be resumed shortly and I'll be back to reporting on all the latest and greatest Golden Greek news.

Tilemahos - 'Fat Penelope'

What is it?

Tilemahos will be the next rebuildable atomiser from Golden Greek. It is designed specifically for the Esterigon, although it will no doubt have an appeal to anyone with a big battery mod. The reduced diameter of Tilemahos could make it as popular as the Penelope is for more generic mod owning e-cig users.

Tilemahos will be a 3 piece design, base, body and cap. Imeo said he wanted to keep the design as simple as possible in contrast to the likes of Ithaka, with it's multiple parts. There will be a choice of three bases.

• The first base is for use with Esterigon, which already has air control, making the Esterigon-Tilemahos combo as short as possible. 

• The second is a base to use with other mods and will have an air control feature. 

• Lastly there will be a hybrid base. As I understand it a hybrid base uses the top cap of the mod as the base plate for the atomiser. This reduces the possibility of voltage loss through the 510 connection. I admit I have little experience of hybrid bases though, so I may be wrong on this one.

However the Tilemahos finally emerges it will probably be as Imeo described it, a Fat Penelope. I expect it to have the same sort of internals as previous GG rebuildables, along with the familiar ease of use. It's length is very short at around 36mm long. Despite the small size it will hold 3.5 ml of liquid.

Can I see it?

It is still in production so no official pictures have been published yet. However, below are some pictures that have been posted on ECF along with some screen grabs I got from Youtube. The first one is by CaptSteve who has a pre release version, he blurred the picture for this reason. He seems impressed with it so that's a good sign.

Notice in the last picture the 'S' I have circled on the base. I don't know what this is, maybe an engraving of the name or it could be just some pre-production identifying part. It will be interesting to see the final finish and design.

From the pictures it's hard to appreciate the size of Tilemahos but this is a really compact looking RBA. On top of Esterigon this is going to be a perfect match.

When can I get it?

Imeo said recently that Tilemahos would be ready sometime mid July. I know that the machine shop shuts soon for the holidays so I imagine they will try to get a batch finished before then.

I predict that this will be another very popular item and one to keep an eye on. With the holidays coming up you won't want to miss out on buying this otherwise the next batch will feel like a very long time away. Keep checking all the regular suppliers for information and if I find out anything more I will, of course, let you know.

Tweaks to My GG/GG160 - very minor changes

I have just finished reworking some images and elements of this Blog and the My Golden Greek site. I added a few new bits here and there too, for example a 'Return to Top' button should show up when scrolling. I also fixed the links page and I will add GG links and links from posts from now on.

Part of the reason for the change was the fact I didn't have a good copy of the GG wings. Also they seem to change every now and then and I don't want to seem out of date, so I made my own.

Obviously inspired by the original GG wings, these are the new MY GG/GG160 wings.

And this one is just me messing around in a 3D program. I am thinking of making some wallpapers.

Anyway, sorry it's not a very exciting post but I wanted to document my changes for future reference.

The GG Wiki - the Ultimate Golden Greek Resource

It seems there is a Wiki for just about everything now. From A to Z there will be a Wiki covering any subject you can think of. There is even a Wiki for Wiki's. So it's not really surprising that there is a Wiki for Golden Greeks. The GG Wiki is a treasure trove of information for all GG products, with histories, diagrams, pictures and useful links. If you need info on any GG item the Wiki is a good place to start.

While doing some fixing of the Links page for this blog I noticed the GG Wiki link had stopped working. I checked back a few times but found I could not connect to the Wiki.

Luckily, we have two dedicated individuals that put a lot of time and effort into keeping the GG Wiki updated and online. ECF forum members Ariel MX and ManniGfaltig have made it their mission to ensure the Wiki is available to all. As well as the main Wiki there is a back-up that should be available if you can't access the main Wiki. At the time of writing this I still can't get to the original Wiki so the link I will add is for the back-up site.

A huge thank you to Ariel & Manni, your effort is appreciated and shows in the Wiki. A support thread for the GG Wiki can be found on ECF HERE.

I also thank the numerous people who contribute to the GG Wiki with articles, bug reports, spelling corrections, etc.

UPDATE

After speaking with Manni I have been informed that after the original Wiki went down two new GG Wiki's were created. The first is the one I have linked to above, located in South America, maintained by Ariel. The second is the backup Wiki, maintained by Manni, located in Europe. Both GG Wiki's are exactly the same, as Ariel and Manni keep them both in sync whenever they update anything.
