GG Reviews

Since reviews in the general forum area and in other threads have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle, this thread is dedicated to reviews for the GG.

Please keep this thread on topic for just GG reviews.

Thanks.

Here's one from cosican

GG. I held out forever before I finally bought the GG, with all the comments and problems it seemed to have on the GG site, I was reluctant. However, I am Thrilled with it, I did buy several adapters and with the 6.vs and the 510 together, it is just a great product, It will last forever, I can drive over this thing and have no concerns. It feels like I have a piece of art in my hand and Imeo needs to be quite proud of it. I would buy any of his products and know he and Tim will stand behind it, With any of the adapters, they all perform well and all the adapters fit on ALL of my 901 threadings for all my other mods, So, I got a lot for my money, The $150.00 plus I spent, is well worth it, I would reccomend it to everyone, with no issues, AND BTW THE MINIPIPE ATOMIZERS,THE 888'S, FIT ON IMEOS 801 ADAPTERS, THANKS IMEO, now I have a reason to use those mini pipe atomizers, that have been put away, 3 days after I bought the MP. The GG is by far as good as everyone says it is and I use it all the time. The battery life, performance, looks, feel, everything is great.

Here's my review:

Title: GG Review - first week impressions

This is my impressions of the GG. I've been vaping with it this week and thought I'd share my experiences.

When it arrived, my very first impression was that it wasn't as big as I thought it was going to be. It's just an unch longer then my screwdriver (SD) and its width is just an unch smaller than the SD.

It has a very solid feel to it and fits nicely in my hand. It has that hand-crafted quality look and feel that we don't see much of now-a-days. The button is a nice size and I understand that it is adjustable, but it came preset to a good height. I played with the button a bit and it pops up and down nicely.

I unscrewed the end cap to pop in the batteries and the first thing I notice is that there are no wires or soldering inside the battery case. All the components, both inside the case and outside, are all manually crafted into place. So I'm thinking how the heck Imeo (the designer and manufacturer of the GG) got his hands in there to position those tiny pieces in place LOL!

The atomizer end-cap, battery side, doesn't have one of those springy things but a flat base plate that pops up and down. I'm thinking this is very good for me - I don't have much luck with those springy things, they seem to untwist or unravel and I have to fiddle with getting them curled again. The end caps thread on and off nicely with a very good fit.

So I screw on a 901 atty, which screws on nice and tight, drip a few drops on the atty, put the mouthpiece on and take a drag. oh… my… god!! The first thing I notice is the enhanced warmth of the vapor - I mean my whole mouth filled with very warm, very soothing vapor. And the flavor - I never knew my liquid tasted that good! I then inhale the vapor and the throat hit I got was absolute heaven - none of my previous e-cigs even came close to giving me that kind of throat hit. I'm thinking wow, wow, and wow again!

I take a few more drags and my room is like this vapor filled den hahaha!! Hubby comes in, takes one look, shakes his head, and walks out. Now I'm sitting there looking at this amazing device and the biggest grin spreads across my face. For the very first time since I started vaping I realize that I have finally found what I've been looking for.

The warmth, vapor, and throat hit from the GG are absolute heaven. There's no other way to describe it - a little bit of heaven on earth for my vaping satisfaction.

It almost feels surreal - everything is SO enhanced - the warmth, the vapor, the throat hit, even the flavor. Only when the battery charge got very low did I notice a difference in performance.

I bought the 510 adapter with the GG, so now I try that. Nice good fit to the GG and to the atty. Drip a few drops on the atty, put the mouth piece on, and WOW - I didn't know the 510 atty could do that hahaha!!

So now I primarily use the 510 atty with the GG. It's interesting in that the 510 atty doesn’t get nearly as hot as it did with the 510 battery. The only explanation I would have for that is the 510 adapter barrier is blocking some of the heat transfer.

I haven't fried any attys this week, either 510 or 901, but I do keep them wet, without flooding them of course.

Since using the GG this week, I realize I didn't know what I was missing. But now vaping with the GG, I REALLY know what I was missing!

I now know why Imeo calls this puppy immortal - I think it will last me forever and I am SO in my comfort zone.

CONS:
None I can think of right now. The design and overall build of the GG is remarkable. The only con I can think of is I can't seem to get the GG unglued from my mouth hahaha!!

PROS:
Significant improvement in warmth, vapor production, throat hit, flavor vs vaping at 3.6 volts. Solid, durable, built tough. Exceptional hand-crafted quality workmanship

I can use a 3.6 v battery with a spacer if I want lower volts, but after vaping with 6 volts I don't see that happening. I've found I can take very short drags and still get full effects rather than having to take a looong drag to get good vapor and throat hit. Definitely a plus!

From what I understand, the next models have a security button added where it can be locked and not depressed accidentally. I think the next generation of GGs is going to be what Imeo calls the GG Transformer where you can have the best of all worlds with versatility of design and voltage capabilities.

I definitely recommend the GG.

Here's another from Kendra:

I love love love this. Thank you thank you. I had a hard time opening it because I was trying to open the wrong side, lol. But, then I finally opened the right side, stuck in my battery and started vaping-- it's just excellent. I love it. Thank you.

From Vaughanie:

Title: My GG

I had some initial teething issues with my new GG (which I've had in my hot little hands for a couple of days now) but after rereading the posts and Tim's recent advice (thanks for that Tim over cleaning and connections) I'm getting far more consistant vapour.

I'm absolutely delighted with it and it's certainly generating a lot of interest when I'm out and about. One guy informed it was "a Philip Morris product" and even asked me if I worked for Philip Morris!!! Imagine! I assured him of course he wouldn't find the product on the Philip Morris site. I even get stopped on the street with people intrigued. The novelty of this may wear off!! Because it produces so much vapour you get some very envious glances from smokers, who I suppose are wondering if it's the phreakin' Holy Grail...

I'm still getting to grips with how much to top up without spillage but I'm sure that will come with practice. Also the beast doesn't stop producing vapour after 10 sucks and if I'm in a bar I don't always spot the "burnt" taste after a few Vodka Martinis

Anyway, many many thanks to Imeo and Tim. I'm thinking the GG was very much one of my better investments and I'm very much in love with my new toy as an aid to continue to being smoke free.

Yet another from KoS:

Yes Yes Yes. I got my GG and wow it rocks. Everything I thought it would be. Small, light weight and solid. Imeo the switch is great. I originaly thought I would want the switch up near the atty at first but after handling it you were right it is in a perfect spot and near the atty would be cumbersome. Also got my DX order today too ( what are the odds). I am like a kid at Christmas, with a buzz like an adult at Christmas

This one is from rejoice:

Received my GG back after the upgrades. Sakis, you have really improved GG. I cannot believe the vapor from her now. She really streams. I am most happy. The vapor is even warmer. Love that soft touch button. Love that my name is on her. Love that it now saids on her GG Immortal steam machine. I like that it is smaller. Most I like the vapor. It is warmer and lots of it. There was alot before,but this is unreal. Love it!!! Love it! Love it!!!!

Thank you Sakis very much.
