Thanks for all the good info. I started a new thread called "Help - Advice for Newbie's GGTS Shopping List?", take a look when you get a chance, much appreciated!

Mactavish - I'm reposting my GGTS review here since you've elected to open up a new thread for your queries...
YES, DID I SAY MY GGTS STORM HAD ARRIVED? <BIG GRIN> - I'm thinking I must be one of the first if not the first, non tester owners (to review) . If you have one on order you won't be disappointed over the craftsmanship. The finish and flexibility on this GG has now really drawn the line in the sand for the competition in the commercial mod market.
Button throw resistance has been refined and Imeo wasn't messing over the new matte finish. This is quite gorgeous on mine and I feel if all GGs now come in this condition from go we won't be seeing any more criticism on this sub forum over the point. I have a feeling through what I've read on the forum (although I'm not a GG Slim owner) that this base was covered from GG Slim production on.
I also feel the threads are smoother but to be fair my Grant and Trans have had more time to pick up deposits. On that note all owners really need to be looking into taking care of the threads with a conductive anti-seizure compound from go.
Imeo's telescope innovation on this mod is unique to e-cigs and works, holding batteries secure and removing the problem of removable sleeves which are small and potentially easy to loose/misplace. I can see the telescoping also serves to strengthen electrical connectivity and now we can do away with pesky spacers on this mod for extended battery configuration. The ridge from the telescope adds to the looks of this beast but if I had a minor niggle it would be that the indentation it creates doesn't feel quite as comfortable ergonomically as would fingers around a full cylinder design.
It took me a while to figure the pass-through but after watching the videos this became transparent (hint to Imeo GGTS videos need to come back on the front page again for ease of access). So the GG will now vape at 5v, which I really wanted to try since it's often mentioned as a "sweet spot" for many, if not all, vapers. 5v vaping on a pure mechanical device presents a problem since modders such as Imeo are focussed on trying to avoid resistors and wires which are prone to failure.
So far I've used this on 510 and 801 atties. I've had to pm Imeo over 901 atty use because I can't see how these attach to the new "universal" atty adaptor and I have been trying hard to achieve this since I'm a 901 AFS user and 901s are my favourite and mainstay atty (that is until the HV imeo atties are available shortly I guess). This is really making me scratch my head since I've watched the old videos and he does appear to be attaching 901 atties to the all in one atty adaptor. I'm sure this will be resolved presently when he comes back to me. GG ownership comes with support within this sub-forum.
(If you are having 901 atty connection issues pm your supplier)
Imeo's certainly had a barrage of questions thrown at him since my first GG purchase back in May 2009 (I'm not the most practical creature on the planet shall we say).
However, overall I'm more than delighted with this new GG for all the positives mentioned. A universal atty connection would be an e-cig first to my knowledge. No other e-cig offers these multiple battery configurations and as yet no other e-cig offers a multiple voltage auto feeding system (UP TO 9V, lol yes and try not to cough whilst doing this you mad buggers) on a durable all mechanical cylindrical p.v. Although over AFS I know the competition are working on it! Generally speaking the more gentlemanly modders, however, aren't making direct copies of Imeo's designs... IMHO we're currently looking at two contenders over the state of the art e-cig and the GGTS Storm is one of them and does more...
To summarise:
It's an exquisitely beautiful piece of kit (it really needs to be kept in a small silk bag to protect its good looks). It's built to last, it's feature ridden like no other and I'm sure after its name it will create quite a storm on the pv market...

Well my first GG was the prototype of this model so I am thoroughly familiar with how this baby operates but I am totally blown away with the quality of this device over my prototype. The machining on the new GGTS is stunning. The look and feel of it in your hand is next to none. It is shiny but not polished. Finger prints don't show up.
The button has been trimmed down from the previous models so it is shorter and locking it is really quick and easy now. The threads are smooth as glass and the fit is perfect.
I love the new all in one atomizer connection!!! No need to buy additional adapters because you can use any atomizer right out of the box. The 901 thread extension is so tiny you don't know its there. I don't see it getting lost at all. Who changes out their atomizer types on the go anyway? I sure don't especially when using the AFS.
I tried just about every configuration and found one that I like best for now. Pictured below is the GGTS with 18350 and a 510 (beta) AFS. It's about an inch shorter than my prototype with CR2s and the standard AFS.
Overall initial impressions are far better than I could have hoped for. Good work imeo!!!!!! You have out done yourself this time!!!!!!!!!!

Vapn, is that one 18350 you got in there and how is that on 3.7V with the AFS, good throat hit?
Well Emonty, you are right. One 18350.
And matrix, the 510 AFS is only in the testing phases now. I was lucky to get my hands on a few samples and they only work with the beta tank now as they are too short to use in the production AFS without a cart/mouthpiece mod. And the 901 really is a better suited atomizer for the AFS. I am not really happy with the 510 AFS because of the flavor or lack thereof. But that is only an opinion. If an AFS were made for the 510 now it would be small and not very effective only holding about 1 or 2 ml of juice anyway.

Oh, that's too bad. Just recently I stopped using my AFS because I'm not getting the throat hit I would get with a 510 atty.
You might want to try a different juice in your AFS just to see if that has anything to do with it. I found one that has a nice TH that I like Flavourart.it "Desert Ship" It's their take on Camel. Pretty good stuff with a nice TH on the AFS. really nice first thing in the morning.
I think it would also be worth you trying the new iAtties for AFS when Rob gets them in. I am getting a fantastic throat hit from an i6 atty at 6v with 12mg juice at the moment

I'll definitely give that a try. Thx Lisa!
Wished I had a single GG when I still lived on South Street (Philadelphia) 20 years ago, smoking analogs ;-)

I forgot to say Matrix, I am using my standard RY4 18mg juice, cut with PG, no complex mixing to achieve this TH.
As to the Flavorart "Desert Ship" Camel-like juice that Vapn mentions? Tasted like something else "camel-like" to me if you get my drift.
It really does show how much of a subjective thing all of this is.
I just wanted to say thank you to Imeo for what he has created. The GGTS is not only a work of art but a well engineered machine.
I own another mod that has given me nothing but issues from the day I received it. Bad switch, crossthreading, and the fact that I have to fiddle with it constantly so that it will work!
I received my GGTS today and guess what....as soon as I attached the atomizer and put in the battery it WORKED! Okay..okay, I did take it all apart before vaping because it is a transformer after all (Robots in Disguise)!
Suprise suprise...this is how the vaping experience is suppose to be! Even the button being at the bottom only bothered me for a few minutes till I figured out how to hold the unit properly.
Last but not least, I have to say that Imeo made the right decision choosing VaporKings as the USA distributor. They shipped my unit fast, the packaging was really nice, and included a velvet bag for my GGTS. They had my GGTS wrapped in gold foil which shows they know how special this unit really is.
All that is left now if for the people on this board to start bragging publically. We should start a thread on the Electronic Cig section about the GGTS and other GG's. Plus we should post on the suppliers forums about Lisa (Cloud9) and Rob (VaporKings). The reason I think this is important is so that we can share more openly how we feel about the GG's and distributors.

Isis..... a BIG CAPITAL BOLD THANKS sweety for your very kind words
Also your ideas are really nice! I dont know many things about forums, I dont know their rules so I dont know what I have to do to help on this. Is it something I have to do or someone else has to do it?
You do not need to do anything, Imeo...that is for the people who believe in this product to handle. You just keep making great GG's!
