After your pm, I have to do as you asked buddy!! lol
We can make a ceramic version via preorders, no problem buddy
I concur with ceramic one ... Ithaka, Penelope, Eden rose are living evidences that ceramic can bring a slight but noticeable flavor improvement!
So to me me it's worth the increased effort to coil and maintain ceramic devices.
If it can be resistance wire only then it's even better, but res-nores will work for me also
I'm in for pre-order !
Esterigon is my favorite for sure. My .08-.09 Ohm 32G Ohm coil has lasted more than a week. It still vapes good, but I can feel it giving up the ghost. So tomorrow (Thursday in the USA), I will build a new coil with the same gauge wire. Cotton needs time to prepare, so I will let the cotton sit and soak up juice for about 24 hours, and then its time to vape it up on the weekend.
It seems like the AW flat tops are fakes...
The guy tried to convince me that they're made by Efest under an AW license. Anyways ordered new ones from another site, which advertise the new hologram sticker as well, so all should be ok.

Good to hear you got it straightened out. AW's from an authorized, and reputable vendor, and you are good to go.
Just received my Esterigon in the Mail it looks so good sexy maybe my wife will like this one. Can confirm that Panasonic NCR18650PF,AW IMR 18650 3.7v 2000mAh (7.4w), Orbtronic SX22 18650 bats fit for sure in the 18650 tube of course. In depth video next week. Hope it doesn't get scratched!
Just picked up at mailbox! OMG
This is so beautiful!! Cant wait to try later.
At work now

A couple of videos of Esterigon by RuaDeS a.k.a "El Mono Vapeador" (in spanish):
Esterigon unboxing video
Esterigon unboxing video
And Esterigon review (in spanish):
The only thing he express that didn't like that much is the fact that it is a 21mm mod.
He talks about the different parts composing the mod, that it is a totally new style of a GG mod, about the engraving, that it doesn't have a serial number, the clean design, how the airflow control system works, about the ventilation system, the locking mechanism and how it works, the top button module and shows all the parts and how to assemble and disassemble it (very simple) and how the button works, the weight of it (without battery) and the diameter.
He said the button is a perfect, lovely and wonderful button.
He states that it is the best button that Imeo have made in all its career.
He said the the blocking system is very good, very comfortable, that it is curious it is located at the base and he thinks is a very ingenious solution to simply interrupt the contact in another place that is not the button itself, that it is like turning off the mod. He mentions also that sometimes it could be a little slippery to use, for example when you have sweaty hands, but that is only aesthetic matter, textured on it would kill the look.
That it could be a little difficult to close it when using a 18350 battery plus a Kick, due the auto adjusting feature is a little hard to press, but that you finally will get it.
He liked a lot the airflow control system on the Esterigon, even when he previously mentioned (on a Nemesis review) that he didn't like that much the system on the Nemesis (that has a similar airflow control system), maybe because airflow holes were too small. That at first he thought that it would not like it, but that he liked it on Esterigon.
He speaks about the conductivity and how it is implemented in the button (rounded surfaces on the pins that touch a cone to close the circuit, etc.), that someone mentioned (on the forum) about it (that flat surfaces will provide better conductivity) and that it sounds logic, but even when that sounds logic, the conductivity on Esterigon is really good, without reaching to the levels of the two or three mods at the top, speaking in terms of conductivity (he doesn't specify what mods are those, so it could be any copper or full brass mod), but that the electrical conductivity on Esterigon is frankly good and he express "mysteries of electricity" (referring to the thing about rounded and flat surfaces), and that it works wonderfully.
---
On a side note: I have explained on that forum why Esterigon's button mechanism is designed like that, about the rounded pins and about contact surfaces (things like it has the needed contact surface to provide good conuctivity, the benefits of the rounded, rotable and auto adjustable contact pins, and that there is a point in which more contact surface does not implies better conductivity).
---
On final conclusions he says the only thing he hasn't liked that much is the 21mm diámeter (there are not many 21mm atomizers), that he will have to look for his Aqua atomizer.
At the other side it has very good things, as the button, that is one of the best that he have tried, that it is truly fantastic.
That it will no disappoint to the fans of GG, that it will like a lot to every fan of GG, and that if you are not a fan of GG, you have to think about the 21mm diameter, that if it were not about the fact it is a 21mm mod he would recommend it blindly.
That he thinks is interesting to mention something that he did not mentioned previously, it is one of the mods produced by GG with lower price, taking in consideration that comes with only one tube at difference of the Just GG or a GGTS that are modular.
He has not ordered additonal tubes, he will use it in 18350 mode plus kick and with 18490 batteries.
It has an interesting price and if you do not have a GG and you will like to have one it is an interesting option, if you are not a fan of GG you could have others interesting options, only because the 21mm diameter, because it could be easier to find things (atomizers) that will have better integration (he refers to the fact that there are not many 21mm atomizers).
Overall is a very good and honest revision.
(It is not an 1:1 translation (my english is not that good), I'm only trying to give an overall view of the review and the points he mentions on it.)

Hmm interesting I was wondering if it would work with a kick. I kinda assumed it wouldn't because it would have constant power but it is nice to know that it will.
I was about to post this review as well . You did faster
. By the way thanks . You translated perfectly all most important things said in video . Well done Ruades made a nice review though . I think he doesn't know yet about Tilemahos , when he finally finds out he will also like the 21 mm. feature
we have to wait for the real review Ariel but its good to know that he really liked it so far. Thank you for posting it on GG forum
I see that Todd and El Mono said that the air control seems like nemesis. Maybe people forget that the air control and the cap of esterigon is a short GGTS collector tank with the usual GG ring on it. Its something that we had discussed a lot on GG forum and nemesis desided to make it before GG line. But its still a GG property.
I liked the fact that el mono liked a lot the air system, that is almost the same as justGG and that he also liked the button and the locking mechanism.
As for the width, people like the thinner devices and it was always like this. The thinner , the better. No one really likes fat devices, especially when they are fat and heavy without a reason. But the issue here is that other modders make fat atomizers (without a reason to my opinion) and thats why some people dont like esterigon's diameter. But if we can make a device at 21mm then its a crime to make it at 22mm just because some atomizers dont have the same diameter as esterigon.
As for the fact that there are other devices with lower voltage drop, Mono has to screw hard the knurled parts to the posts. Then esterigon will be the best of all SS devives out there
And because people that are searching for devices to buy will be confused, I must say that 22mm atomizers on esterigon will look exactly like UFS on GGTS, where UFS is at 24mm and GGTS at 23mm. It was never an issue for anyone

I have to get a second Esterigon for sure, it works so well and hits like hell !!!!
i just don´t know if i get a second in SS or if i can wait for a brass version ( would be awesome )....

I am not really sure about when I will make the brass version Stan. To my humble opinion, it would be better to buy a second SS version
attention
Some esterigons have a loose screw between the 2 knurled pieces of battery post and atomizer post. Keep with a piece of paper towel the center posts and put pliers on the knurled part and screw hard. That way you will be able to see the real power of esterigon.
Its a pity to not see the right reviews because of just loose connections

Imeo i know you have a lot of work at the moment !!!
maybe a brass 18650 tube and AFC RING, it would not be so much work....so we will be able to upgrade and you won´t have to make hole new Esterigons !!!
thx
Stan
