I havent seen a more beautiful mod Zanza :lol:

thanks for posting this buddy, I will add this site to my first post:)
Imeo, if you thought that the Finland produced EA mod was a poor threaded unshined copy... What about this Matrix Telescope by sigelei for 20$ :blink:

Holyyyy. i knew there where some fakers of the nicer mods but this is ridiculous. It is really quite sad, and I guess I'm quite fortunate to find this thread 'cause I just might have fallen for one given the wait time and being not so patient about it. Thanks for the info.

Edit. Oops responding to the first post listing all the scammers and fakers. Apologies for the interruption.

Not sure if that's really sad for Imeo....In fact, it's good for him to have knockoff/copies of his products, and I'm sure that some modders form around the world are somewhat jealous not to have these copycats around their own products.


And what about this Smyrna from Vaporfreak, priced at 109 euros, which is not a cheap and poor one apparently...

Team Rampage (or whatever their name is, the makers of the Adam) is back up to their old tricks, with a new device called the "A.P.S." It's clearly a knockoff of the AVS/UFS. I think I remember them trying to claim the Adam wasn't a GG knockoff, I wonder if they will still try to claim the same this time. They make me much angrier than China, who makes cheap copies, and just want money, and just don't care about anything else. But if someone has the ability to make nice things, and is willing to put time into it, I would think they would have some pride and want to make things that had at least a little originality. But instead they copy and then try to lie about it.

And I notice that VaporFreak sells their stuff. I think these two companies are the real villains here. I don't think China is a threat because their cheap products don't appeal to GG users, and people who would buy cheap copies probably never would buy a real GG anyway. But these two companies steal Imeo's ideas and try to sell it at the same price level, and sometimes even try to convince you that they're not ripoffs. I really wish there was a way to stop just these two.

GG Ithaka Rebuildable Atomizer

I found this on another thread in the forum.(and now I can't remember which thread.):facepalm:

Did this person buy a bunch of Ithakas to re-sell? Or has it been cloned already? Or is it a send me money and I'll send you some air type scam? I *think* this site is in Venezuela from the phone #, but I'm probably wrong on that.

Or is this the Italian sellers site? I've never been to that one before. Just confused because it looks like they're in stock.

Good luck to anyone trying to imitate the Ithaka.. lol.. good luck with that. If they can then they really should question themselves as it really would be easier to just make a new type of atomizer.. a cloned Ithaka will be pretty comical. They couldn't even duplicate the ODY V2 properly and thats very basic in comparison.

Nah copies of Imeo's products are fine with me.. it's his mark of craftsmanship that shouldn't be touched.
Leave his fricking wings and logo out of your crappy cloned crap.

Ok, guys I am looking at this thread and ok, bad quality imitations are really bad, but on the other side, the Imeo is uncapable to follow the demand and this is the reason the chinese copies are kicking in. I wanted to buy it but as it is constantly unavailable and i dont have time to race for it, i will buy a copy as soon as i found a decent one, my problem is not the money but i just cant get it anywhere.

I think that Imeo is creating this problem by his own ignorance of the market, when the DID (mmvapors.com) decided to mass produce theirs, I bought it and i bet there is hell of a lot of people that would do the same (btw, they f* it up, before they decided for this move the market was flooded by its copies and i think the build quality is pretty much the same). At the moment I can only hope that the chinese copys are going to get better and better.

I believe you are wrong, spodletela.

When a beautiful and unique, not to mention quality, piece is mass produced, it instantly becomes something else. It is not even close to having an original.

It is paramount to having a paper photocopy of a Rembrandt pasted on your wall with freezer tape. If they indeed do get better and better, then you have a better quality photocopy of the Rembrandt taped to your wall.

Not terribly classy. just saying....
