A lot of ppl don't understand that the construction of a mod is of up most importance. All GG mods that I have seen are built to withstand the test of time. I am able to fully disassemble a GG mod to clean and check all connections if I need to. The same goes for GG atomizers.
GG is breaking ground on putting electronics inside a mod. But it will not be the way that other ecig companies do it. The Proteus (for example) will have the same features as a mechanical mod. But we will be able to fully take it apart to clean and check connections. And I'm sure it will be the same with Esterigon and other existing GG mods that will get a VIR makeover.
You can call me a GG fan, but I believe wholeheartedly in the product. I have been vaping since 2009 before RDA's, RBA's, tanks and VV/VW mods existed. I have quite a few VV/VW mods that are broken. I thought that all I needed was a VW mod with a screen and that would be the last mod I would ever need. Needless to say that most of them broke.
Mods with screens are fun to play with, but they are not necessary. They are just more prone to breaking. Ever drop a cellphone? What about an Apple IPhone? Those are the worst because the screen is glass. My friend barely dropped her IPhone getting out of the car and the screen now has a crack in it.
Maybe look at your ecig mod the same way as your cellphone. Is your cellphone going to last forever? It could if you are careful with it. We may be using our cellphones as much as we use our ecigs. We pull out our ecigs and vape constantly, and we also pull out our cellphones (smartphones) and check our text messages, Facebook, emails, ect on a daily basis. You might get a new cellphone in a couple of years due to the market changing and new technology. And the same can be said about your ecig mod.
VIR is not the the end all, be all, last technology of ecigs. It would be foolish to say that...but I believe it will be built to stand the test of time, provided that you don't take a hammer to the VIR chip, and that you actually take care of it. Imeo noted that one of his Proteus fell from a height of three stories high and the VIR chip was still in working order.
Imeo says he is testing every VIR chip, whether personally or otherwise. How cool would that be to get VIR that was personally tested by imeo? Quality at it's finest, even if we have to wait a little longer.
Most mods with similar technology to VIR have screens, wires that are soldered together, and springs that can become unreliable. I understand that some ppl want box mods with VIR, but delivering an unreliable product I believe is not in imeo's nature.
The desire is to deliver the most reliable, smallest, smartest, electronic chip to grace the ecig market. VIR will be ahead with it's functions on the smallest chip, and it may be that way for quite awhile.
