GG tide turning?

[martinc]

I prefer to have a F1 or F2 on a display then a collapsed spring and no spare thank you very much. (then wait for stock to be replenished every 6 months)

Something the mechanical mods are known for.(the collapsed springs)

I agree.


also, GGs are over buffed imo, the edges of all the pieces are always washed out/ rounded off... not a sign of high quality polishing.

I dunno, I kind of like them!

 

[soulja11c]

Can't wait to get mine.

I don't see how a mechanical mod (unless kicked) is equivalent to a VV/VW even building your own coils. I know that 1) my coils tend to creep up in resistance over time, and 2) my battery provides less voltage over time. Put those 2 together and you are in for compromise.

If you can just dial in the wattage at your sweet spot, you forget about 1) and 2) above.

I, for one, will not be buying any non-power adjustable mods going forward.

NAH..if i can get something that pumps 100% of what the battery can give at half the cost ?? thats not hating,thats using your brain

I didnt mean any disrespect towards anybodys opinion, i am a firm believer in "different strokes for different folks." I was refering to the unreasonable, unsupported claims in the first post. Im not sure how this guy isnt banned from here as I have seen him resort to childish name calling in at least two different vendors subforums and showing a general lack of respect for the rules of this forum that is supposed to be for adults to discuss different aspects of the vaping world. If this had been a thread to discuss whether or not the GG tide is actually turning, I would have kept my mouth shut, but it doesnt seem right to me to let this stand while these claims of "issues caused by Imeo and ungentlemanly behaviour" are left unsubstantiated. I have been reading the GG forum for well over a year and I have never seen Imeo be anything less than courteous when dealing with his customers even when answering the same questions over and over and over. He doesnt even lose his cool when an obvious troll comes to his forum with a blatant attempt to incite hatred for his brand and attacks him and his customers on a personal level. If someone has a real reason for not liking his products or how he conducts business, that is perfectly fine, to each his own. I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but until joeyramone expounds on his claims or retracts them, I stand by mine and this is not directed at any of the people having a civilized discussion in this thread

OctoberRust,you dont/never see anything because he deletes everything really early in the morning before most dwellers see anything

But hey,one sees what he wants to see and one hears what he wants the hear!

Its not all dark and grim in GGland,nor is it all rose tainted and dandy,just like the world!

THE REAL WORLD!

I just want it to be clear that my comment has nothing to do with GG or the fellow who makes them (I have no clue about any of that stuff in this thread) just my feelings on VV/VW vs. mechanical mods.

I would actually love to have a GG as they are, from what I can tell from pictures, gorgeous and truly collectors items. I am just not the collector type.

Maybe I would buy a collectible to put in my display cabinet as a trophy to recognize that I kicked cigarettes and finally finished with vaping. But that will probably be a long time coming!

ok ,,not sure if i should a little peeved or not about an old post of mine being quoted and the following paragraphs ??

i'd have thought you would used the other half of that post to attack me ??calling me a troll ?

i only visit two vendors forums and one of them i haven't posted in,in a very long time

and neither of those are mod forums either

should i be pi__ed off or not

some mods sure can supply the same performance of the expensive ones , But as all collectors will tell you it's about the prestige and the status of the item.

sure all of em are just metal tubes , but having your metal tube numbered ( as with Caravela for example ) and knowing only 999 will exist of some model gives a different "feel" to it , sure some people have no clue what that is , but they know that having only limited numbers in the world is like jewelry.

The ladies sure dig 'em , they understand

sure lance armstrong lost all his titles , but he is still lance armstrong ... and metal tubes cant use steroids.

Life is about personal choice, mine are mech mods solutions. (1) My 28 gauge coils never vary over time on resistance, l built a 1.8 ohm coil 2 weeks ago, put the meter on it before this post and guess what? 1.8 ohm. (2) when I notice a hit feeling less toothy, I change battery, simple. Other things about mech mods I enjoy, I can break the unit down to every single component for cleaning, including all contact points. It is invincible. Being somewhat careless I have dropped, kicked, abused, stepped on and sunk into a sink full of water, guess what? Still works like new. My point is there is a segment of the populous not suited for high electronics in something I stick into my shirt pocket daily. Hence, the allure of the mech mod. I have not had the pleasure of owning the GG, but this is only because the cost, for me, is prohibitive. I would snatch one today if I could because I have seen, from a friend, the wonderful craftsmanship of the device.

Sorry about that, I quoted your post because you said its "not hating just using your brain" after my "haters gonna hate" gif and I didnt want you or anyone else here (except the guy that started this thread and then mysteriously vanished) to think it was aimed at them when I posted that . The first sentence in my last post was a response to what I quoted and after reading my whole post again, I can see that I should have made it more clear that the rest of it was referring to the first post of this thread. the guy that started this thread first posted it in the GG subforum and when it was closed, he went into another thread there and started insulting people and he did the same thing in another suppliers forum.

1) hasn't been my experience, but maybe when I start rolling my 28 it will hold better. I guess thin wire is more susceptible to the build up 2) Well, I guess that is fine if you are home and have a bunch of charged batts but 80% of the time I am out and don't want to carry any more than I have to.

I guess if I can get my coils stable then I would consider one for at home use only......

They are beautiful though!

Since you do not know me or what I have read, let me introduce myself. I am an ADD afflicted speed-reading insomniac internet

junkie with an insatiable lust for knowledge and this terrible habit of thinking for myself. I also have a somewhat photographic

memory when it comes to things I have read. I do not claim to see everything that goes on in GG land but I have seen enough to form

my own opinion. my only reason for posting in this thread was to find out what joeyramone meant when he spoke of "issues caused

by Imeo and ungentlemanly behaviour in response to them" and since he wont respond to repeated attempts to clear this up, I have

also formed an opinion of him and his agenda which I have made pretty clear.

I also stated the experience I have had on the GG forum by saying I have never seen Imeo be anything less than polite, even when he

is asking somebody whose sole purpose there is to be disruptive not to post in his forum anymore, which is something that I know for

a fact you have experienced because I watched it all play out and it is all still there, not edited out and I wont go off topic by

going further into it.

This thread is out there for everyone to see and I just want everyone that reads it that has no experience on the GG forum to know

that there are plenty of people who have had positive experiences there and I also encourage them to do a little reading and form

their own opinion rather than take someones word for it.

And Im sure Imeo goes on his forum while all of us are asleep just to make rude, degrading comments to people for no reason

and then edit them out before anyone sees them. I guess that what goes on in this "real world" that you obviously know more about

than I do

 

[RippleInStillWater]

joeyramone being a troll on a forum -- who knew?!?!?!

I love mine, I don't have any problems with them, just clean them regularly and you can beat the crap out of them. I love the button placement, its an easy hand hold that way you really get used to easily. Imeo has finally started producing them quickly after all this time, that's why you see so many more for sale -- its because thee are so many more out there!!

I'm a semi-fanboy I guess (I like Imeo although he doesn't listen to my suggestions) but I defend the things that have worked for me and I've tried them all............

 

[thefinder808]

See the problem for me is the wattage limit. I could've saved money just buying the kick and an extension since I already had the Silver Bullet. However, my sweet spot is in the 12-12.75 wattage range. The kick will not provide that. The ProVari V2 will provide that and more. I'm vaping on a 2 ohm carto right now at 5.2 volts. I love it I love it I love it. The power and draw on the Provari is da best I've had. Anyway that's my opinion. I don't see how any ex-smoker can be happy at 10 watts and under, but maybe I'm just a TH addict.

Off topic, but then again not. Most everyone will likely agree to the status that the Provari has had over the last couple of years. Many non-owners proclaim their distain for Provape for charging so much for what they believe the Chinese knockoffs can do just as well for 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a Provari.

Having had a Provari for a couple of months now, I can totally understand the love that owners proclaim of theirs. It is indeed a great device, and worthy of its place as the standard of easily available variable voltage APV's.

However, with recent availability of the DNA chip from Evolv, and the first USA-built variable wattage device with the DNA now available in the Stallion for the same price as the Provari, I can't help but think that the reign that the Provari once owned by itself may soon topple.

The Provari, as is, will always be a high-quality device, at least in my mind. And who's to know if Provape doesn't have something up their sleeve, as well? But as more American APV manufacturers start offering high quality variable wattage devices, if Provape does not respond, their status may very well be threatened.

My appologies for hi-jacking this thread. I saw some similarities between the two APV's and wished to share my thoughts.

The GGTS is a great mod, Ishould know I've had 3 in my time, the penelope is also a great mod if a little different that using carto's but good all the same. It is a supply and demand thing but they are pretty bullet proof and being a mechanical mod it won't be prone to failing like say a lava tube or some cheaper mods.

I can see why people would and are frustrated by the lack of demand I paid over retail on the first two unit I would and only paid RRP on the latest offering because I was at vape fest this year.

It is supply and demand so if you can't get a unit through the normal channel then it's what you've willing to pay for the bling that no won else has got, which is the same boat you are in if you have a GGTS spare are also very hard to get which can be a nightmare.

Great mod, Imeo keep up the good work.................
