Hello,

Its been over 2 years since i gave up smoking and for the majority of that time GGTB has been my ecig of choice at work and while out and about. I recently read somewhere that it is discontinued :?: so i thought i would post a little GGTB love.

While at work my GGTB has been dropped , stepped on , kicked across a concrete floor , had a bath in hydraulic oil and has not failed me yet.

In fact i can only recall 2 occasions when it has failed to work which weren't due to dead battery / atty... once when i was using magnets in the switch and the swarf from my overalls pocket caused the switch to short, and more recently at this years British grand prix when i dropped it switch down in the mud at silverstone and even then it worked again once i had blown as much of the muck out as i could and the remainder had dried. (made the switch very gritty but it still delivered the goods all weekend!)

As it was 2 years ago (one on left is the later version which has sat in a drawer unused!)

As it is now!

The flare at the end cap / body junction due to repeated hard impacts, the offset carto due to same and all the scrapes scuffs and dents in between tell a story of the hard use this ecig has been subjected to and yet it still delivers as well today as it did 2 years ago and i for one will be sorry to see this peerless ecig become consigned to vaping history even though i own a GGTS , SS GGTS 2x AVS, UFS & Iatty (plenty of options!) the GGTB is still my favourite ecig bar none.

GGTB is dead? long live GGTB! :vapor:

if you will polish it it will be brand new

To me its a time served vaping tool and that's exactly how it looks and i like it. Polishing it would feel wrong somehow, ok so its not pretty but its got bags of character ;)

yes, long live GGTB! Ways

I certainly hope so Imeo, although i have a backup i would be sad to see the day this one gets lost / stolen / destroyed :shock:

I'm with you, I love my GGTB!!!:toast:

Imeo is still making parts for it. I just recently pieced mine together. I purchased another SS tube a 510 cap and a switch. just need the bottom cap to complete that one, and I plan on getting the brass tube as well.

Its amazing how much you put yours through.
Long live GGTB!!

Brass Tubes, SS Tubes available right now @ COV. Pre-order for GGTB top and bottom cap as well as buttons just started 3 days ago and will continue for 2 weeks on COV as well!

cloudsofvapor.com

Unfortunately they only serve Mexican / Canadian / US residents :( on the bright side i understand the Greek seller will be accepting Paypal / CC orders soon :) , good news for those of us in the UK who have had difficulty navigating the Greek site in general and understanding the payment method in particular :D
