GG costs

[imeothanasis]

I have some mails asking me about the GG cost. I will tell you guys what is going on:

First of all I dont buy ready tubes for GG. I buy a fat rod and I am starting to eat the material until it has the size I want. Then I make the hole at my dimensions. This is a job that requires time and waste material.

The material is the most expensive in the market.

The brass tube is as thin as possible and machine has to go slow not to brake it, so more time there.

The 4 in 1 adaptor has thin walls too so more time to machine it.

Springs are not ready ones. I make my order and they make it as I want: Stainless steel, with spesific threads, length, hardness, thickness.

Some people think that GG is a tube. GG has very big thoughts on it. I heard someone on internet saying K.I.S.S. and I wanted to know what that means. And it means exactly what I am trying to do. But simplicity is very dificult guys, please believe me. If GG was only a simple tube it would have not the price it has. When you go to buy a porce you dont ask salesman why it is so expensive, you just go there and buy it without many words.

When I go to a shop to buy GG materials, I dont ask how much does this cost. I just say: I want the best. And the best has a cost.

As for my thoughts about GG: Is GG the best? If the answer is yes then do I have a reason to make it better? Is there a reason to think always new ways to satisfy anyone? Is there a reason to make a better button if the existing one works exellent? Did anyone complained about e.g. button? No but I am thinking how I will make it even better.

Now I am thinking of more details like to not make holes on the button's cap but to write "GG" perforated, so no holes but "GG" word will be the nesessary hole. I dont know if I can do it but I just tell you my thoughts.

Does anyone thinks that I cant make a cheap GG? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeasy. But then I cant accept complains about anything guys. Agree?

I am a firm believer in the old saying that "You get what you pay for"

A person can save a few bucks buying cheap, then when it breaks they are buying again and will have spent more money buying cheap twice than if they would have just paid for quality from the start...

All I know is... for all those who claim to detest you, they hardly say anything bad about the device itself... that says a lot imho...

Every GG I own was worth every penny. GGs save you money.

Wished I had started off with one. Had mine for a week so far, and haven't blown a single stock 510 atty with it, vaping it like a crack pipe at 3.7v. I feel like confetti should be falling from the ceiling.

I've got a couple of 6v imeoatties, but I'm still enjoying my 510 to even try them out yet. I'm still in the habit of listening to it to make sure it's firing before I vape, but I think I'll be falling out of that habit with it soon. I hit the button, suck and vape comes out every single time. That's how a mod is supposed to work.

Thanks a lot pals for understanding.

I have to say again that exept my thoughts all day and all night for making GG even better, (I think they deserve a small cost), its the simpicity of it that can save us money because of no failing parts on it.

I also have expences of sending them to my sellers with the best and the most expensive way (courier) so you can have it soon and not to wait 10-15 days after your order.
Dont forget my waranty that its 1 year but its a lifetime waranty in reality because I will replace exactly at my cost the failing parts even if 20 years pass (Nothing will fail as I see it)

Only keep clean the threads!!

This is the unit I hope to buy one day. Can't afford it now and when you have something made so excellent, why change it to cheapen it? I have a couple of cheap made ones,
and they are not that inexpensive to buy..Quality is quality and if you change to make it better, Kudos to you; but changing to make it cheaper...your risking your good name.

I would have paid 300 US dollars for my GGTS knowing how fabulous it is. It is a get what you pay for market. The people just need to be encouraged to do the research and see all the happy customers for themselves. I would love to see a GG that was cheap. That being said if it was a cheaper GG then that would mean that I am sacrificing the wonderful features that you (Imeo) have included in the GGTS, GGT, and all of your other products. All I have to say is keep up the "outstanding" work and your artistry and attention to detail will sell itself. I "LOVE" my GGTS... I can't wait to buy another.. Thanks Imeo!!!

Imeo,
I dont think you should go over board with a cheap GG. I think the GG price is fair...and I have no problem paying that price. If anything I would say make a entry level unit like the GRANT or something similar. But I dont think you should change the material you use...The price is what it is..and thats the rate for your time and good material..so in my mind..It is what it is...Good things cost money...You get what you pay for..The GG products are WORTH every penny and i dont feel they should be cheapened at ALL....the GG is the PORSCHE of the vaping world...

Also to add to my first post on this matter. I took my GGTS to a vaper's meet up this past monday and was told that I was crazy for paying the price for it by a bunch of people that had bought the prodigys and several other PVs. I let them all try my GG and they loved it! Later in the night they were all talking about their faulty prodigy switches and a few other peoples PVs even broke while we were there and then they were telling me that I would have the same problems one day with my expensive PV. So I took it totally apart (all but the switch). The were amazed by the simplicity of the whole thing and all said that they now wanted to sell their mods and buy one of yours. That's a testimate to just how fantastic your product is. There is virtually nothing to break. Maybe you should post pictures of your design taken apart to show all of the non-believers just how mechanical the GG line is so that they can see for themselves. Then they will realize the savings through the lifespan of "one" long lasting PV...

I agree an entry level or cheap device will cause more harm than good.... Yes a cheaper price will draw more to the product but the bad side of that is if it's made cheap to sell cheap then the complaints will start pouring in from users and that will cause damage to a reputation that is hard to recover from....

Guys, I see that we all agree!! If I find a cheaper way to do it I will sell it cheaper. I have said that in past.
I can also make a cheaper GG. It will be not a GGTS of course but it will still be a GG. I cant make anything less, its not my style.

I am very happy that you agree with me, so we move on.



Wood, nice meeting you had there xaxaxa, very good!! I will soon make the video you said, why not?

Excellent post Wood!
There are a lot of people that think we are nuts for being so happy with our GGs, but seriously, there is a reason for it and you demonstrated it.

EXCELLENT I was equally amazed the first time I took my first one apart! Soooo simple and yet so well built! I have four more now! And have bought no others. I have actually sold off those other ones. Well except for my first mod the Prodigy V1... It remains special top me even though it just sits now.

I like that idea of the logo being the holes! Would you have to simplify it to make it work or would you just go with the GG part of the logo? I think that would look really sharp!

And hey you two, get a room!
