hi imeo,

can you answer a question for me please?


this device is called a GGTB............with "TB" meaning Telescopic Battery. is that correct?

the reason i ask is that i purchased a GGTB from the UK supplier yesterday but have just received an email from him to say that if i want the telescopic section (or false battery as he described) then i have to send him a further £12.99 !!

he said that the telescopic battery is a separately purchased item and not part of the GGTB............but if its not an integral and included part of the GGTB then why is it actually called a GG"TB"??

when i purchased, the website made no mention what so ever that i would have to pay £12.99 extra if i wanted to have the telescopic battery included..........it just said "GGTB - £43.99"

if the website description had said i had to pay extra if i wanted the telescopic battery then fair enough, but im not going to pay out any more money for a part i feel should have been included as standard! lol

after all, how can it be a GG"TB" if that part isnt included as part of the sale? its like buying a 3D TV only to be told the next day that if i want it to be 3D i will have to pay extra!

please let me know your thoughts on this matter :)

cheers

scott

I'm 99.9% sure that the vendor is incorrect, the GGTB includes the telescopic battery, sounds like the vendor is trying to pull a swifty to me.
Edit: I might be wrong on this even though it doesn't make sense to me. Here's the description on Hopes site;
Will be similar to GG Grant. Takes 1 or 2 16340 or 17340 batteries. 901 connector. Locking button. Optional Battery Telescope

hi mate,

well something is not right with it............cant call it a GG"TB" if the TB section isnt part of the deal! lol

im only buying it so i can do a review.......im certainly not paying any more money for the extra part, so they will get a review of the GGxx rather than a GGTB, lol

Some things about GGTB:

Price 49,5 euros !!

I made this unit not to compet anyone, we have GGTS for this!!! I made it just because I wanted to make a nice, thin, small and beautiful device for men and women for daily use or a back up or for places that a smaller cig is required. It still has the nessesary safety options like locking button and venting holes, it can go inside pocket very easy, it can be cleaned very easy too, very simple but with more functions than almost all China mods and cheaper!!
With the telescopic faulse battery it can take any kind of batteries exept the 18650.

Its a must for all vapers out there. To my opinion it can sell more than ego or anything like this. Very cheap, but made in europe, simple in use and beautiful

You could take that 2 ways, while it reads like it comes with the TB it could also read that if you buy the TB as well it can take any kind of batteries except the 18650.

But VP it can not run with 1x 16340 without the false battery?

well i purchased the last one which would indicate that all the others they had in stock have been sold too. but the email stated that the telescopic battery section had not been added to the website yet..........which would suggest that all the other people who purchased before me will be getting the same email asking for more money.

it takes literally seconds to update a shop website so there is no excuse for not advertising the GGTB with the correct information. and if the telescopic battery section is indeed a separately purchased item that is not meant to be included as part of the sale then that separate item should have been listed on the site too.........again, it only takes a few seconds to add a product to a website

If what Scott's been told is correct then it's a spectacularly stupid decision, the GGTB should come with the TB bit. If the TB is a seperate purchase then it should be clearly stated as such on the websites and the video for that matter.

At the moment it looks like false advertising which isn't legal in the UK, any customers not happy with the situation would be entitled to all their money back (including postage both ways).
