yeah, only because of the exchange rate. but the price before and after the exchange rate difference was supposed to be inclusive of the telescopic battery as far as i know. it looks like what krom did was break it up into the two pieces, charging appropriately for each 44 and 13 euros, but neglecting to state the case as such. but it only seems right for any customer to expect that the GGTB will include the TB when they order it. just getting a GG 17670 (or 2X 16340) device seems counterintuitive.

£43.99 isn't 44 Euro either, there's currently 1.14 Euro to the pound so it's 50 Euro for the tube and ~15 Euro for the TB bit.
If it's sold without the TB bit then it should be called a GG 17670, selling it as a GGTB without the telecope battery bit isn't just counterintuitive, it's (well there's no better term) deceptive, it wouldn't be a big step to call it fraudulent.
Of course we can hope this is a simple error and it will be corrected.

im hoping that is the case too
i did write to the supplier immediately after i received the email, so i would have thought they would still have been online at the time. but that was nearly 4 hours ago and ive not had a response as of yet
you're absolutely right, tyke...i was going by imeo's earlier post here, but either he meant £ instead of or the whole thing is even more disjointed than previously thought. sorry for adding to the confusion.
Two separate items guys. 49.5 and 14.5 Euros. I can combine them for 64 Euros though

Plus deal with international shipping half way round the planet + import duties and VAT if you make the appropriate customs declaration to stay within the law? No thanks.
The point is on a UK website (which is subject to UK advertising law) the product is advertised in a deceptive manner, I've checked there's no mention of the TB bit being sold seperately.
As I said earlier I hope it's a simple mistake.
well it was falsely and misleadingly advertised, and the fact that the telescopic section isnt even listed on the website is an absolute joke!
no way im paying another penny more..........its a matter of principle.
how the hell can it be called a GG"TB"!???
bad, very bad

It's listed on my site but maybe the UK site did not order the telescopes. It's an option with the idea being to keep the GGTB cheap which it is. Some will only use a 17670 battery and be happy without the telescope. Wording and pictures is what's needed and I should have mine and will have some pics here tomorrow:
GG ECIGS AUSTRALIA - GGTB
When I have it I will also improve my product description.

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 have said already on forum that the telescopic battery will be sold separate scott. Maybe you missed that. I dont really know if Krom was clear on his site about this but there is not a problem because I will tell him to send you one. But maybe you are right, I have to reconsider about including the telescopic battery to the whole pachage
I would include it if I was you Imeo because as Scott states, the name itself implies that it comes with it, it can't really be called a GGTB unless it includes the "TB".
Guys, I saw what you wrote and I quickly desided to include the telescopic battery on the same price. You know me, dont you?
Ok, as for the items that are already sold I suggest that all people that have purchase the GGTB without the telescopic battery can have it for free from me. Suppliers will send me all the names of the customers and I will make the shippment for free
I want only happy customers and I will do it even if I have to pay money for it!

That's excellent of you Imeo, I really respect your decision and is the kind of thing I see time and time again from you and why I'll always continue to support you and your products. Noone else listens to their customer base like you do.
well here is the product description for when i purchased:-
Model: GGTB
Shipping Weight: 0.2kgs
can you please tell me where in the product description it specifies that the GG"TB" does not actually include the "TB" section.........which is the sole reason why the device is called a GG"TB"?
maybe im not reading between the lines and should have realised that the product title and product description obviously does not include the main part
wait..........ive just read between the lines (all 2 of them) and there is 100% DEFINITELY no mention what so ever that the main part which gives the GG"TB" its title is not included as part of the sale!
the fact that the telescopic section is not even listed anywhere on the site as an "optional extra" speaks volumes!
sorry hopefulll, but there is no way whatsoever that this can be justified...........i dont give a damn how cheap you think it is!
if its sold and advertised as a GG"TB" with no mention of the main part missing then customers should expect a full GG"TB" after they paid the advertised price............full stop!

excellent stuff imeo.........and rightly so
cheers mate,

It is like a GG 'Grant' that has been updated to have the capabilities for more battery options (with the separate telescoping battery) than the old 'Grant'. A single 17670 battery or 2-16340 batteries is all I would need so I don't think I would get the adjustable section at first. I guess IMEO could have waited to release the TB part and sold this as the updated 'Grant' then released the TB part. Just my 
.

I'm not disagreeing with you Scott. Needs a new name to indicate Telescope is an optional accessory.
thanks a lot guys. I also desided not to raise its price on the next batch. It will stay at 49,5 euros with the telescopic battery included to the package.
cheers to you too scott and VP
