...Cover fires? I know that GG products have a lifetime replacement warranty for parts going bad, but does is there any kind of a replacement warrenty? Last week my house caught on fire and I lost basically every possession except my wallet and a few random things that were not upstairs where the fire was. I lost every piece of vape gear I owned(but 1), including a Provari V2, a Silver Bullet, a Lavatube, a box mod, egos, a Cobra, a BliSS, a DID, a DID Clone, drip mode Oddy, a %&* load of juice and a lot of other crap, but worst of all my prized GGTB. The other stuff is a hit for me but the GGTB was by and far my pride and joy. I felt a connection to my GGTB that I never felt with any other piece of vape gear in my arsenal. I know it's very unlikely that there is anything to be done but I just had to ask, because i'm not sure of the extent of the warranty.

Now to the crazy part, when I went back in the next morning after the firefighters and fire marshal had cleared out I went to look in my bedroom. I have these two weird "closets" in the back part of my room that had a lot of junk in them. Well my Penelope was in the back of one of them attached to an eGo Twist(random, yes) that I had left by my toolbox when I was back there earlier that day. It was completely unharmed! The Twist and the Penelope had soot all over them but somehow they didn't burn at all. The twist even lit up still but wouldn't actually fire (not that I would have even bothered the electronics probably got scrambled by the smoke if not the heat from the fire itself). I cleaned it off and soaked it in alcohol a few times and now it looks like nothing ever happened. Now THAT is a high quality product. How's that for an advertisement?

DId you find any of the other MODs or atomizers? what kind of condition. I would think that the GGTB might not have melted? Thats horrible Phreaky, Im so sad for you. If there are any parts of your GGTB left, maybe the warranty can be still good. Im glad that Penelope made it unharmed.Maybe your insurance will cover part of that loss. :cry: If you need anything like a KGO till you can get something new, let me know, Im sure I can get you a little care package to tide you over

There's nothing left, except for the few charred remains in the two closets I mentioned, everything burned. The firefighters shoveled the stuff out of my window and threw it in a dumpster, it was all ash with a few random bits of clothing, the shell of my desktop, etc. mixed in. My Penelope only made it out of blind, dumb luck because of where it happened to be, in the back corner of the closet.

Well it doesn't matter if it melted or not because all of my possessions were shoveled out of my bedroom window in a big pile of rubble but I didn't get to sift through it anyways. It had a battery inside it so who knows what happened to it during the fire, I honestly have no idea. If you've never had your house catch on fire it's impossible to explain how destructive it is. My entire bedroom almost burned up on the inside. They don't even TRY to salvage items that were directly in the fire. We don't do ANYTHING. The insurance company does it all, helped by many different companies that do things like clean, take the clothes away that were covered in smoke to be cleaned, remove our other possessions to be cleaned and stored, etc.

I didn't mean to sound heartless I lost things in a fire. I was in a apartment building on second floor had ac on during hot summer. Some drug addict on 4th floor thought it was a good idea to get high and fell asleep and tipped his candle and managed to start a fire. I was woken up by fire department putting out fire on top floor while i was sound asleep in my bedroom. if it wasn't for the water leaking on me i wouldn't have known nor gotten up. the black smoke is un breathable.

I'm sorry you lost your home and your most precious positions. It's not something anyone should experience.

the most precious possessions are the things money cant buy. You got out with no harm and if you have family, I assume they got out well.
Things, can be replaced and Im sure it wont be easy, but you will rebuild your collection. That Penelope will be even more special as it will symbolize your survival of something that could have be catastrophic.

Thank you very much for your kind words guys but its everyone's duty to help a person with a burned house. My offer is really nothing in front of his damage. I was only trying to give to our friend a very small help, thats all.

Thanks again anyway, its not a big deal. If Phreaky is happy then we all get happier if you agree:)

Oh my... I really, really don't even know what to say Imeo. I didn't actually expect you to honor the warranty to this extent, I was just making a blind grope in the dark. Wow. I... Wow... I can't even begin to tell you the way I feel right now. Another guy had his TMF SS GGTB up for sale a few weeks ago and I posted that "There is no way I could ever sell mine, I have grown oddly attached to it in a way I could never even explain" and I really, really meant that. Even though I lost all the other stuff, juice, etc. the ONLY thing I have been thinking about every single day since it happened is my GGTB and that means more to me than I could even put in writing...
