Anyone with experience in this crappy process? We just keep trying till enough people give up or fall asleep?? I guess patience really is a virtue.

yep, patience young paduan ;-)

The problem with this process is a lot of people really hammer on the refreshes. This does two things: cancels anything already loading, putting them back at the end of the queue (sabotaging themselves), and it also puts excess load on the server, causing the site to run slow and crash.

the trick is to not hit refresh until the page stops loading. If you get an error message, then go ahead, but if you're still waiting and the icon in your browser is just spinning then wait it out. Unfortunately this requires cooperation from everybody trying to make a purchase and the hundreds of people refreshing like mad just make it harder on everybody and/or crash the site.

That's my input on the subject. I'm not even buying anything so I've got nothing to gain by dissuading anybody from their chosen method of browsing, so take that as you will

eh, honestly. i have better. i wanted a gg as a monument to what came before, what changed the game in some respects. i cant sit around at work for over an hour randomly hitting f5 and then waiting and waiting and waiting, only to restart the process.

back to work i go, the past will live and die there. someone else will just end up buying the one i was gonna get and reselling it for profit.

I was very tempted to make a "use the force" reference but I refrained...actually proud of myself.

so again while im waiting -- im a new gg owner, got a stealth and a TS in the latest batch from esmokeguru which arrived today :) and i have an ithaka preordered from CoV as well -- problem is my better half is only going to let me keep one as i've overspent terribly this month on vape gear -- what parts do i need to be able to "build" both a stealth and a ggts? i mean to say, if i have to part with my stealth, what do i need to buy to convert ggts into stealth -- just a stealth cap? or a stealth cap and rethreader? or more?
