I do not want to stir up the cold war again, but why in USA there is a regional seller, and no one in Russia? :)))

Our country is bigger and there are many fans of the GG.:))))

Wikipedia says Russia is 142 million people and the US is 308 million. If you mean bigger in area, yes. But why would that matter? I think you actually benefit from the arrangement. You can buy from several worldwide vendors!

The limiting factor is that Imeo produces his pieces himself (as it should be) so there's a limited supply everywhere!

Ain't that the rub? If there were enough to satisfy the thirst then there might be overproduction; the fact remains right now that the family is increasing in size (with the number of vapers) but there may never be enough production to satisfy everybody.........:(

The main reason there is no Russian reseller or main seller and correct me if im wrong

Is Russian customs they are impossible to deal with they will not allow deliveries into the country unless they are going to a business address then you can be assured they will take that package apart piece by piece also value is an issue as they will o not allow an item with a value greater than £220 unless you have an export/import license.
Even after that is is not unusual for them to hold a shipment for over 6 weeks and for the eventual delivery to be damaged and or parts missing.
so a large collection of PV's would be heavily scrutinized even confiscated making it a very risky proposition.
As it is a single PV is a small item and not subject to quite the same regime and can be put down as torch parts etc..

I know from personal experience about this as i send a lot of Darkroom items to Russia infact i have a customer who wants a processor but i can't unless he has a business address otherwise it will just be returned.

I do like it the way it is now though if the GG went mainstream and into large scale factory production to me it would lose some of its exclusivity.
Call me stuck up but i like the fact i've got the best PV and with large scale production you might as well forget little touches like the serials what would be the point of having #100,000, and having Imeo around for advice.
Its nice to know i can actually talk to the man who created my pv and not some faceless customer service

Every seller can find a reseller in his own area. UK cant find a reseller in Asia and Australia cant find a reseller in Russia.

Yeff, russia doesnt have a reseller just because the UK seller doesnt want to find a reseller there for his own reasons. I dont want to talk about those reasons but they are serious enough buddy:)

Imeo, my friend, I understand.
Unfortunately, the number of people willing to buy GG is growing in Russia. People have to buy your products in other regions through local intermediaries - they are willing to pay for it.
It is a pity that nothing can be done.

You probably have not seen the smiles at the end of the sentence?
You're too seriously apprehended my words. In Texas, probably, live a very unsmiling people :))))

I saw the smiles. I just thought you were being friendly when you said that. A ;) and I would have understood!

In Texas, we only smile for guns and BBQ. ;) <-- see the wink?

(and GG Products) :) <-- smile

Unfortunately we are not allowed guns in the UK which is a shame.
I really believe that within 6 months the UK would be a much better place

I feel exactly like this UK. And I really believe that if GG production goes in a large scale I will stop being creative. Maybe I am wrong but this forum helps me to keep my mind alive

It amuses me that people try to dispute the quality, customer service, and integrity of Imeo. The GG hasn't built the cult following by being a poor product or having poor business practices.

Good on you Imeo for sticking to your guns and continuing to satisfy your customer base. The GG may not be my favorite but it's most certainly among the finest mods anywhere at any price and every bit as available as its counterparts in form and function. -Magnus

It amuses me too Mangus but I dont say this in public :lol:

If you go to the "other" forum you will see what is going on with me. That forum was made just to beat me lol. I had too much fun going there from time to time:laugh::laugh:

This is it exactly when you go large you just become the face of the company and before you know it your not even designing your devices anymore as you employ people to do that.
and look at the Chinese there big ecig companies just clone everything now.
its nice to have a product where you know the guy who invented it will keep on developing with a passion.
