I don't want to tempt fate by speaking too early but I wanted to get the word out and forewarn US GG fans as soon as possible. I may have this all wrong but this is what I've picked up from the forum.
It hasn't been long since Rob at Fluid took over as the US GG Supplier but it looks as though there may be something going on. I have no idea of how Imeo or Rob works but I found the following posts in the GG Tilemahos V2 and Penelope V4 mini Official thread. Talking about Rob and Fluid, Imeo said the following in a couple of posts.
'he would receive everything SS but I don't think he will respond. Its time for a new USA seller. I will see what I will do about it'
'Today I contacted to some USA sellers SS and I will wait for their response'
At the moment it doesn't look too hopeful. We will just have to wait to see what happens. The good news is that there are still other suppliers to buy from. If you are planning on getting any GG items in the near future I would advise you to keep checking the threads on the GG sub forum to find out what is going on. Especially those of you in the US.
I hope Rob can get sorted out, if not it looks like there may be another US seller on the cards.
I know this video is a few days old now but I was in hospital having an operation. I'm all better now and back home so I can add some more information. As you can see in the video there are a couple of Golden Greek releases coming out very soon.
In the video there are a lot of different parts so I'll try to cover them all here. First up there is a longer tank with more fluid capacity for Tilemahos. It takes 4.6ml of juice and is about 5mm longer. The existing mouthpiece will be shorter due to the increased length so it's a trade off for that extra bit of juice you can carry.
New longer Tilemahos tank body
Next is the new Tilemahos hybrid base for GGTS and JustGG. There is also a new centre pin for Tilemahos to keep the overall length as short as possible when using the hybrid base.
Hybrid Base with short centre pin
The next item is one that a lot of people are waiting for, Tilemahos V2 at 21,22 and 23mm. All three sizes come with air control bases. The design is very close to V1 with only a few minor changes. It has five main pieces, the top cap, main body, mouthpiece, rebuildable part and the base. The mouthpiece is designed so you can use your own drip tip but Imeo has said he will be making some GG drip tips in the future. Because of the thicker wall on the drip tip connection the top cap has a slightly wider diameter to enable filling from the top.

The rebuildable part is pretty much the same as V1. The channels on the side are scooped for improved fit with wicking and the o ring around the rebuildable part has been removed to allow easier unscrewing from the base.. The new adjustable 'centre post extension' as Imeo has called it, is another change. It is a sealed flat head screw design with three small o rings to make a good seal and firm hold. Finally the base now has o rings on the bottom for the air control, as opposed to being in the ring on V1. The base also carries the GG letters instead of the Tilemahos name.
New Tilemahos 'Centre Post Extension'
Also available for the new Tilemahos will be clear tanks. They are made from the same material as used in Ithaka, UFS, etc. Note that the tank in the picture is a different diameter than the base and will obviously not look like this, unless you buy the wrong tank!

Finally we have the Penelope V4 mini. Inside it is basically the same as Tilemahos V2 with obvious size differences. It features the same new style of adjustable centre pin and features CNC'd GG wings. Design-wise it is a progression from V3 and will no doubt be as popular as all past versions.

So there are a few nice pieces due for release soon. Tilemahos V2 looks really good, a perfect partner for the GG4S. The option of clear windows is great, some people like to see their juice levels and some like the look. At six euros for the windows they will probably sell out fast.
I'm happy to see Imeo at the final stages with a lot of his projects, making room for him to work on VIR and Proteus. These latest releases should get people buzzing about Golden Greek products and provide some respite from the agony of waiting for VIR and Proteus to be ready.
Sales of the items above should start in less than a week so keep checking on your favourite suppliers site.
