Happy New Year


A quick post before I go out to celebrate the new year. Whatever you're doing and wherever you are I wish you a very Happy New Year and all the best for 2015. Thanks for visiting and reading my blog, I plan on making it bigger and better next year and already have some plans in motion.

As far as Golden Greek is concerned, Imeo has a few things lined up which I'll cover in a future post and there are some exciting GG releases on the horizon. For now though enjoy the last day of 2014 and I'll see you next year!

All the best,

Lee

New GG Seller

There is a new GG seller, this one in Spain. Imeo announced the news on ECF recently but I only just caught it. You can visit the site at this link.

The Golden Greek Store

The site is looking good and has some stock listed, I'm sure it will have more stuff as they grow. I wish them every success, it's always nice to have more buying choices.

Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays

Not much to update on for the last couple of days. Sales of the GG4S seem to have gone well with lots of people very happy with their devices. I saw the 4S below on ECF. Shiny version looks really nice although this was done by it's owner - Telephunken in Madrid. He is also responsible for the amazing GG4S video at the bottom of this post.


With VIR, Proteus, Tilemahos V2 and perhaps more to look forward to, next year should start with a bang. This year has been an incredible year for Golden Greek and I hope next year brings us even more devices and surprises.

Anyway no matter what your religion or how you celebrate this time of year, I wish you all the best. I will be busy the next few days but will try to keep you updated with any new developments.




EDIT

There is also this GG4S by mrZoSo who might have been the first with a shiny 4S. I thought I better add it so people could see it. Both of the polishing jobs are outstanding so kudos to both users.



Cloud Chasing Revisited

Since I last wrote about cloud chasing I have been doing a lot of research and experimenting. I said previously that I shouldn't knock something until I tried it. Well I've tried it and......it's very addictive. I had got a monster of a mod from my wife as a gift, you can see it below. It's a Dreadnaught clone, I know - I know, don't shoot me. Anyway I've been trying sub ohm builds on it as it's built like a tank, if anything went wrong it wouldn't be one of my GG's that got wrecked.


The first thing that surprised me was how easy it is to get nice thick, clouds of vapour. Dropping under my usual 1 ohm limit produced immediate results. Nothing competition worthy but satisfying none the less. I began running two set ups, Dreadnaught sub ohm and GG with Ithaka around 1ohm. Both have their advantages but I preferred the GG as it was giving more flavour. And less of a strain on my arms, that Dreadnaught is HEAVY!

What I needed was something in between the two set ups, a nice small GG capable of some good sub ohm builds that could take a small dripper on top. I know if I really wanted to I could do a sub ohm build on any of the tanks I have but I would rather use something with a three post set up. Anyway along came the GG4S, the answer to my problem. It really is a fantastic mod, the more I look at it and use it, the more I love it.

I have a Dark Horse dripper that fits perfectly on the GG4S so I was ready to try some GG sub ohming. My results are total awesomeness. Huge clouds, great flavour and at the same time a very good looking mod. It is amazing how something so small performs so well. I have been alternating between lung hits and mouth to lung and found I enjoy both equally. I never thought trying sub ohm builds could change my vaping experience so much.

I was wrong about cloud chasing, it's a culture all of it's own and one that I judged wrongly. Cloud chasing is not for everyone but it offers a great addition to the vaping community. It is very much to do with being cool and sometimes even sexy. Another big part of it is fun. It's enjoyable and there's an exciting edge to it. I've found so many new vapers, shops and different mods I've never seen before. It has been a revelation.

I'm learning more as I go along but wanted to share my experience so far with you. I'm on a bit of a cloud chasing high at the moment and this GG4S with a Dark Horse is really blowing me away. If you get a chance try it out, it's an awesome set up.

One last thing. A quick reminder that I have some clothing for sale over at 160GEAR. I'm the sort of person who hates to promote my own stuff but the search engine for Spreadshirt doesn't bring my shop up. I think it's invisible. If you need some new vaping threads visit the shop by clicking the picture below. Thanks!
























GG4S - First Impressions

I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the hottest new GG mod, the small, the beautiful GG4S. I want to share my first impressions not a review as I haven't got any atties set up at the moment I can really test it with. I did quickly try my Tilemahos on it and it hits really hard but as I have the GG4S without AD I couldn't really give it a proper test.

The size is really impressive. Small and light but very well made. The very clean lines of the flat top and bottom give the GG4S a classy look. With a nice flush fitting RDA this will look amazing. The use of space is clever too, hardly any extra length added with a battery inside. It's also very easy to adjust for the length of your battery, just twist and go.

The 'upside down' logo doesn't really bother me, I understand what Imeo wanted to do although the way I hold it I couldn't see the logo while using the GG4S. I will say that the logo itself is very finely made, a lot more detail is visible compared to the CNC work on the Tilemahos for example. If I had a choice I would have preferred the logo right side up but that is a minor quibble. The button the logo is engraved on is very easy to use, either with a pinky or your palm. It's nice and soft too so there is no huge amount of force needed to use it.

The threads on the tubes of GG4S are some of the finest theads I've seen. They are perfectly smooth and there is no resistance when adjusting the tubes. The feel of the threads add to the feel of the device, giving it the impression of being a high end device. The threads are really nice in operation.

Overall my first impression of the GG4S is very positive. There are a lot of people that really like the simpler types of mod. Clean lines and simple construction is very stylish and very fashionable right now. The GG4S fills a small gap in the GG line up for people looking for something sleek to put their atties on. The ease of use with both the button and the tubes is great. No need for messing about trying to get the device set up, you simply twist into position and you're set.

GG4S

I think of all the GG's I own the GG4S is one of the coolest. Small, light, understated and good looking. GG4S is very worthy of a place in the GG range. I love how easy it is to use and how smart it looks and would recommend this to anyone considering buying one.

Once again I must thank Imeo and Vasillis for getting this to me. Two very fine gentlemen!

GG4S - Available Soon

E-smokeguru have posted product images of the GG4S, a good sign that they will be available soon. On the website the GG4S is listed under three headings. They are all described as 'monkey style' which is a name given to them by Vasillis. Apparently the way you fire the button reminds him of monkeys! I've cobbled the three images into one so it's easier to compare them.

  2. GG4S (Monkey Style) with air control and SS CR 
  3. GG4S (Monkey Style) with air control and Brass CR

I have scaled the images together as the GG4S on the right was photographed a little closer than the other two. This gave the impression that it is a lot bigger. I think they look really good, I can't wait to see what people will be putting on top of them.

Talking of atomisers, Imeo has said he's working on Tilemahos V2 which will be 22mm to fit GG4S. I use my V1 Tilemahos daily and I think it's perfect. It will be interesting to see what improvements Imeo comes up with.

GG4S should be available very soon from e-smokeguru and shortly afterwards from fluid and bitfumo. Keep your eyes glued to your preferred vendor for announcements.

EDIT* E-smokeguru will be selling GG4S 16th December at 18:30 Greek time.
