A lot of mistakes there search. The filling way, the wicked style that send all juice to his hands, the comparison with kayfun that have 1/10 of Tilemahos features, like collector tank , liquid control, moving poles, removable rebuildable part, sealed connector, easy air control, easy reffiling, small, thin, doesnt leak, the build quality, the mirror shine, the way that Tilemahos housing drives you to avoid mistakes etc. Grimm obviously didnt know that kayfun is based on GG Iatty and GG Odysseus but still with less features than those.

Even the smoke with semi lips open was identical to kayfun to his opinion. And thats why I dont send GG constructions to any reviewer any more. Reviewers are simple users without any real mechanical, electronic or knowledge of use and with no appetite to check manufacturer's videos before their review. I dont expect a lot from them. Also they are people that are easily affected from others and some of them have already taken sides. At least Grimm said that Tilemahos vapes great and that was enough for most people.

The best way for a customer to see what he buys is only via my videos where I show exactly what, why and how I made it.

I like Grimm of course and all reviewers in general. Most of them are lovely people with nice styles. I only think that they have to be more careful and more responsible when they make a review that will affect people.

Please Imeo be careful not to over generalize all reviewer's as many are interested with respect to the engineering as to the end results and ease of use. After all this is a consumer device meant to be used by any and all. Try to sees things from the end consumers perspective as any successful manufacturer must. I like to think that we are all your customers here and your friends and to generalize is not a good thing.

Does anyone have a good silica build for the Tilemahos? I can do a good build with cotton but I actually prefer silica - I know, I'm strange :) My silica builds always seem to have trouble wicking. I've tried with 3mm and 2 strips of 3mm but neither wick well. I build them the same as my Penelope V3 with the silica cut flush with the threads but it dries out. The Penelope on the other hand wicks great. Any suggestions?

you are not strange steve. Too many people like and use silica including me. As for the wicking, Tilemahos is not tall as Penelope so liquid doesnt have a lot of pressure. So when you realise that liquid came lower inside the tank, just open the mouthpiece more or up to its final point

You are right Adam, thats why I said "most of reviewers". There are very few reviewers that are very careful on their reviews. People know them and they follow their advice, sometimes with close eyes. 2 of them are Scott and the Russian guy karabas that do written reviews. Maybe others too but I know only them. Ah and VarosVapor, that got really deep on his review.

A review is not just to show to people how an atomizer vapes. Its much more than that if you agree.

Some reviews are and some are not you have to take them for what they are worth I love watching reviews on new tech lets say a new LED TV its functions, resolution, capabilities but I do not understand everything that is happening inside. Other reviews I watch specifically to get all the info how it works what makes it work how it was built how it functions its tolerances etc. They all have there worth and should be taken with a grain of salt. Watch as many reviews as you can then base your decisions from what you have learned. I first bought the UFS because of the functions it did what I needed it to do and I liked the look to go with my GGTS because it held all battery's and it has continued since then. So it is what it is.

There are reviewers doing their hobby and some of them.. just doing their "job"
There are several ones who love to do a serious and effective for us presentation and others... just to add one more video in their collection.

Only one thing for me.

A reviewer who wants to be regarded as a serious one, has to study manufacturer's videos first.
If there's something he don't understand, has to ask manufacturer. Every manufacturer would be glad to talk to him and solve his questions!
Then... every opinion is accepted.

Hi, i totally agree with imeo ans stelioss, i watch video reviews for detailed pictures only and build my own opinion before purchasing, but we can just imagine how sad it must be for a modder to have his work reduced by a misunderstanding of the functions or performances (not to speak about 'style' , this magical artistic inputs evrywhere wich tend to become a pure cosmetic notion).
many of these reviewers are not any more simple users sharing experiences and opinions, facing contradictions each other, as we do here or with friends, but kind of 'authorities' speaking one way to 10 to 100 thousands potential consumers; they perfectly know that. the fact they often stupidly claims 'its my own personal opinion' does not apologize at all the lack of minimal research and culture, its just questionning their global understanding of integrity (or the value given to themselves).

Unfortunately reviewers were doing a quality job before some years. Scott for example. He is still doing his best but unfortunately he has to make so many reviews that he miss a lot of things in some of his reviews.

Some other reviewers have taken sides, something really unacceptable.

A serious reviewer has to make a deep and independent review. These 2 words say everything I think. And of course he has to accept criticism for his review, exactly as he does to modders's constructions.


Some things are obvious but we always take the wrong path. This is very human and very bad at the same time.

Agree completely. There are very few good reviewers out there. Most of them lack knowledge of materials, manufacturing, electronics as a 'good start'.

And then they are usually also downright clumsy taking devices apart, making messy builds etc. etc. :laugh:


I agree on Scott Imeo. But... he's one of the few that makes excellent tidy builds most of the time. That's a plus. :)

personally, I think most of them just like seeing themselves on camera, and the attention they get.....that, and the free stuff.

I must say yes to all the above but no as well yes I have received some juice once oh and a drip tip but seeing myself on camera no, attention no, fun yes enjoyable yes thought someone might find interest in it share a common interest yes and spreading the word a little Vaping I think has helped us all in one way or another I hold no opinions other than mine. I have a very old friend that does it for a living and gets paid well but it is his job and thus the time and effort he puts into research. We can only try are best when we have time. You have really taking the fun out of it at this moment in time. sorry for ranting I enjoy it and listen to Criticism and try to improve but I will never be perfect. Yes the ones with 100,000 subscribers should do there home work but if they just do it because they enjoy and are not getting anything free for it well it is what it is.

I said most, not all Adam. And I don't even think of you when I think "reviewer". I know you do some videos, but yours are different. You are humble and don't try to come off as a know it all. Just not the same....so Please don't be offended by any of this.

I am impressed that most people think that Tilemahos is like kayfun when they are not the same but only on the 2 bolts that keep the wires :laugh:

Also most people forget that kayfun was based on GG Odysseus and GG Iatty. That really impresses me.

I send an e-mail to Vapn Fagan. A part of it is this:

Thank you for the review. It was a very nice one and you mention almost all the features and characteristics of Tilemahos. (By they way, Greek language works like this: We read what we see, so Tilemahos pronounced as you read it lol)
I only want to make an observation, just for your real knowledge. Kayfun is like GG Odysseus and GGIatty. So kayfun took all ideas from GG atomizers and not the opposite. For example, the body of Tilemahos is the same as GG Odysseus, and not as kayfun that he copied the conical cap upon the resistance, the clear window style, the resistance to the bottom of the tank, the channels that allow liquid to travel etc.

Of course not and no malace on my part as well in this world of high tech info on demand its really hard to tell where people reviewers are coming from And yes i am a reviewer thats what my kids think lol As a side note Imeo an official link to all GG info and your videos would be great.

to adjust my airflow I have to take the tilemahos off and even then its a fight but I like it that way....


Obviously I'm playing around with my new Tilemahos. :)

I did a couple of different builds and vaped some liquids I know well. In a word, it's excellent! Simply wonderful.

A view observations so far:

- the internal threading on the rebuildable part and mouthpiece is much sharper en rougher then I'm used to from my Penny's. The threads are noisy/scratchy when screwing in & out. When I wipe them off with a cloth the fibers of the cloth get pulled and stick to the rough threads.

- The air control ring moves very lightly around the base. A bit too light in my view because it gets turned off it's setting by handling and holding the device, getting it in & out of your pocket etc. I wonder if there is a way to make the adjustment ring a little tighter around the base?

- The draw is very open. I guess this is great for a lot of users but if you like a tighter draw like me (I think the Pen V3 is perfect), you need to close down the 2 air holes almost completely. At these tighter settings the air flow starts too whistle a bit too (my old Kayfun Lite frustration).
This together with the lightly moving air control makes it a bit difficult to get the draw right and keep it there. I wonder if a control ring with only 1 hole would be a good idea as an option? With one hole the adjustment will be less 'sensitive' to minor movement of the AD ring.

These observations are not meant as criticism and they don't change the fact that Tilemahos vapes like a champ and provides great flavor! :toast:
