Pic of the Month May 2015

This months winner is this picture by Aal. It represents a passion and dedication to GG and shows a mod a lot of people have long been asking for, a full brass GGTS.

I have a love hate relationship with brass. I love the look but hate how easy it tarnishes. I don't really have the proper equipment to keep my brass shiny so I tend to prefer my SS mods. So I give full respect to anyone brave enough to go the full brass route. Anyway I think this GGTS looks amazing so congrats to Aal, he wins 10% off his next GG order.

Pic of the Month November

As usual there were a lot of very good pictures posted this month. And as usual it was hard to pick one picture I thought stood out. In the end I chose this one from ManniGfaltig in Germany. I love the mix of metals and the contrast of old against the new.

Congrats Manni on a great picture and a nice couple of GG's.

Vape Revolution

While going through the March pictures for My Golden Greek I found these pictures posted by bossplaya29. They show a custom GG by Vape Revolution in California.

Apparently this mod has black diamonds as well as the beautiful engraving. I think this has to be the nicest looking GG I've ever seen. I couldn't find any more information about it but you can visit their website at this address.

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.

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.
