So will the parts of the Penelope v3 be available to purchase today? I presume the non R+NR part will fit the V2.

Not keen on having to buy a full Penelope V3 after a recent purchase of 2 x V2 along with the solid mouthpieces for both as the originals became unusable after a few weeks.

The guru site has the V3 ready for buying but no sign of any parts......yet!

So much for my above comment. Too complicated to buy all the bits and pieces. Full Penelope V3 on its way. :closedeyes:

I should have thought about asking this before the release today and with the ECF down I had no real way of asking as I didn't want to wait and miss out on a couple things I was looking to pick up...

I pieced together a Stealth back in December using the GGTS Brass Venting Cap, GG Stealth Connector Steel Full New, Just GG SS Engraved Tube and Just GG Brass Telescope...

So today I purchased (2) Just GG SS Extension Sleeves in the hopes of being able to use an 18650 without the Brass Telescope and everything (still using the 510 Stealth Connector) fitting like it should, did I miss something or will this work as intended?

TIA :)

Did everyone get what they wanted today?
I got myself a Penelope v3 and some spare O rings, very excited!

I only wish ECF was up when ESG went live so we could all share the excitement as we purchased!

Glad you got what you were after.
I got "almost" a complete conversion kit from V2 to V3 but missed out on one single part!
Still trying to find out when the next batch of spares might be up to complete my order...
Pleased for you - and a little jealous...:D:evil::confused::D

I got a weird voicemail from fedex/customs(?) asking me to contact them about my package from greece. So I called the number back and the guy there asked me "Is this ecigarette for therapeutic use? If so I will need you to submit the manufacturers name and address before I can release it." I said "It is not part of any therapy" and then he said "Okay I am releasing your package, have a good day"
This is the 2nd of 4 packages currently en-route to me from esmoke and the first time I got that call. The 1st package I got today without incident.

Got a letter from fedex today. They want me to pay $9 for the inspection of this package and for calling me to inquire if it was "for therapeutic use" before allowing it to be delivered to me. I have ordered LOTS and LOTS of stuff from overseas over the years and this is the first time I have ever got a bill from customs. Is this normal?

Was it even possible to piece together the new rebuildable part? Has the V3 centre post gone up for sale? I seriously doubt it. So the only way to get a functioning V3 was to buy the whole V3. A bit expensive but what the hell...

Don't see much point in listing it as a "part" if it's not for sale...
Having recently bought the V2, swiftly followed by the solid mouth-piece, then the short tank which is almost immediately followed by V3 - I reckon a complete V2 to V3 conversion might not have been too much to ask.
Having to to trawl through a list of parts to try and "make up" the conversion - only to find there's a part "not available" is a serious pain.

Yes the parts should give you the chance to get a18650 Just GG without Telescope showing. But it depends on you Batteries too, because some prortected are a little bit longer !

I think Vassilis should bundle the components together under the heading "Penelope V2 to V3 conversion kit".

That would be nice. The different parts needed to complete a GG item always confuse me until I have one in my hand and can disassemble it and see how it all goes back together. So I just skipped the V3. However, I did pick up a couple more steel windows for my Ithakas. :)

Just curious, did you guys get a tracking number for this order? I shipped with FedEx and got a shipping notice but no tracking. Just curious, thanks!

No, I haven't even received a shipping notice. From what I remember last time, I received a shipping notice from ESG that referenced a tracking number in the notes section, but no number. A short while later, I received an email from FedEx with the tracking number.

Yeah that makes sense! I'm not too worried, I just like watching my package travel all over the world :)
