I'm sure when Chevy came out with their first car, people who had invested heavily in Ford were calling them "Ford copies" too.

Its a freaking bottom-button battery tube, man. I understand you have a lot invested in your GG--emotionally, financially and intellectually, but not every one can afford a GG. If people are making mods that look and function somewhat like a GG, for a substantial lower price (and admittedly lower quality) then who cares?

GG is not losing the business of the people who can't afford GGs, because they can't afford GGs.

GG is not losing the business of people who aren't concerned with high-end quality, because those people would never spend money on a mod JUST because it was machined to super-high tolerances--they are motivated by price.

And the people who own GGs already own GGs, so Imeo didn't lose any of their business.

So who cares. In the larger picture, it has actually been proven that low-budget (and low-quality) clones of high-end consumer good actually HELP the sales of the "real thing", because they introduce people to the possibilities...

I love GGs, but if they are NOT selling it as a genuine Golden Greek, its not a fake. It might be inspired like Stereo said , or not as well made etc, etc. Than its not counterfeit, nor fake or really even a clone. GG lovers should just enjoy their products and stop obsessing so much. Its life and thats how all things are, who came up with the cell phone, the flat screen TV. Is the Cobra sports car a rip off of Ferrari? etc. Just enjoy life and your amazing vape:)

Not a bad post at all Dream, I agree with you. I agree because copies not only dont affect my business but they also advertise it. But even if those copies are doing only good to me, I still dont agree with people that copie others. Its a bad practice for the copier and too bad for its buyers. Its like you buy from a thief. You just cant trust him if you agree. He stole me, then he will steal you etc.

Yes, they sell it under GGTS name. Its not an exact copy but an almost exact copy.

ps........ if you want to steal the name you have to steal the design too. You cant steal the name of ferrari and give it to a yugo. At least you have to make something similar :lol:
Looks like this place is selling a non-GG as a "GGTS" - not sure if it's been posted anywhere before. I saw it as a comment on a photo on the GG Facebook page for crying out loud!

What I enjoy most about Imeo is that as soon his stuff is copied he comes out with something 10 times better. He keeps coming out with more and more innovations and designs that will last. Many other moders may get so upset they end up packing there bags and stop making new mods. Hence this fuels Imeo and motivates him to be who he is today. A masterful modder.

"That" German online store is really doing "fair" bussines. After Ody clone called Nautilis, now they are preparing to sell GGTS and Penelopy clones:

But beside clones, I have heard very crazy story on one serbian e-cig forum... and serbian people (similar to greek, as I'm sure Imeo knows) can make conspiracy story from everything... so the story goes that because of quality of built and the fact that those clones are almost identical to original, Imeo is behind this... he is selling GG products to the "fools" which throw away money just so they can say that they have GG, and this clones are cheaper edition, without GG logo, for everyone else.

And they finish this theory with "Didn't Imeo said that he will satisfy every vaper out there?"

:laugh:

Let the german guy do what he thinks better Moon. The built quality is maybe good but who really cares if its not an original piece. Quality is not difficult to be made, you only have to pay more for it. But its like you have fake things in your house pretending that they original lol

And as I have said before, the person that stole me will steal you in a while. If someone wants to support thiefs its his right. I cant make all people think the right way.

My concern is that people have to remember who is behind this. If they dont forget that then I am ok:)

I also want to give some advice to this German guy. To make a shined mouthpiece because mouthpiece is the part that goes in mouth and cant be unshined for the simple reason that people will destroy their theeths in a while.

You dont know why the original maker did it like this, so when you copy something do it the right way and dont change anything. All parts have a special role in the construction and are made after giving big thoughts on them

It is because IMEO, when he thinks of something he thinks how it will affect him, because he is user number one. I doubt any of the fakers are even vapers. They just don't care what happens to vapers, they want money. When the designer is the user, he will put his maximum thoughts into it. And we are lucky we are able to vape on these widely thought designs.

exactly like this aal. If you dont test the product on yourself first then you will never find any flaws on it
