patent is not only what you discover but where you use it pki. Thats why patent law covers any new invention. That why e-cig is an invention even if materials for it are already discovered like SS and brass etc. The thought is what it matters. Car is an invention even if wheel was discovered before. So the telescopic e-cig is a GG invention

There is only one and thats a GG.
When i got into vaping i did some research and come across the GG, As soon as i saw it i wanted one, At the time i could not get one, so had to wait for one on order and the same with the Ody. Meantime i bought a Provari and an atty and went on to get a further six atty's, And to be honest never got on with any of them .
To cut a long story short i got my GG my Ody's and one of the best single things that Imeo has ever made, The Ody base, With this little baby my GGTS & Ody became one. Now i could vary the air intake and believe me that makes the GG series the best out there period.
IT DOES'NT MATTER IF MAKERS COPY IMEO'S GG, Without an integrated atty like the GG,GG base & Ody it aint going to give you 100%. Trust me i've spent a small fortune trying to get the best out of vaping.
If your going to buy a new mod whether it be a telescopic mod or a GG clone, Think, Will my atty fit, Probably not, That gap you have there between your mod and your atty not only looks .... it is .... cos your sucking too much air in.
Hope this helps people out there & sorry for swearing but needs to be said.

I do agree with Menthol 100%, but I also have to add, that the greatest strength of GG is also it's biggest problem and the reason copies keep on coming.
Chances are that you won't be able to buy all three same time unless you get them from classifieds buying a lot more than you buy from a new product.
It would be great to get them all in a single product as a GG-hybrid.

Scott gets sent stuff, he reviews them, end of. If he was to start saying X is a copy of Y, or X ripped off Y etc, his reviews would become a playground for people to start questioning his integrity/loyalties etc. As a reviewer he needs to be unbiased and review things based on his experience and opinions of the product he reviewing. It must be quite difficult.

Yes but knowing the work that goes into developing he should refuse to review knockoffs...it gives them validity in some people's eyes.

Scott is a well respected reviewer. Not reviewing knockoffs shows respect to the original modder.

Yes I agree ! I did NOT care for Navy life guards review on the Ody clone at all. The knockoff's , copy's , clone's , should get no attention , get no advertisment , get no visibility !!!!!!

That's my :2c:

I guess Scott would be reviewing maybe one item every couple of months by some peoples standards then. What about simple 510 cig-a-likes? They are all copies of each other then aren't they? Man.

Clones are one thing. Knock offs are basically a clone of something claiming to be something it is not. A copy.....you would have to describe what you mean by that. If a design, system, concept is proven to work, and someone takes that design, system, concept, improves or modifies it, then it is not a copy/clone/knock off is it?

I've said it before on another thread, if something is produced, manufactured and sold to the consumer that has not been patented, then there is no way of preventing it being "copied", "modified" or incorporated into others designs. I've not come across an outright "copy" or "clone" of GG products, because what has been "cloned" i.e. this ody thing, is not an exact replica. It is of a lesser quality. I'm not supporting it by the way.

Other mods which use concepts that the GGTS uses, are not copies, clones or knock offs. They have taken a design or feature and incorporated it into their own device. It doesn't have a knock on effect on sales of GGTS or GG products as there is a very high demand for them. It does however offer us, the consumer, choice and variety which imo, is a good thing.

It is your choice if you buy the products. I have tried a GGTS and didn't get on with it. I think it is a very well made, solid device, but it wasn't for me. It doesn't stop me trying other similar products though because they have features of a GGTS. In fact, I'm very interested in the 69 mod for example. You can have the button at the top or bottom. It has similarities to the GGTS, but it isn't a copy/clone or knock off.

The 69 and EA are cheap copies sold with ggts price tags mate ;)

Benny, its not that people are blind. Its because they believe what they believe. You do the same, do you? I will give you a small example and you will see that Aron is right. Mercedes has a patent about hydraulic steering wheel. All companies around the world pay mercedes for this invention. That means that if someone makes a steering wheel a little different it doesnt matter because concept is the same. What this tell us? It tell us that too many e-cigs are GG copies because many of them looks like GG, almost all of them use GG features and some of those features are made by the same way. But they arent knock offs just because I didnt patent GG?. If I had a patent it they would be knock offs, yes?

So as you see its not a matter of what is right but its just a matter of law. I dont have the law on my side on this issue but I have the right. And the right thing is that when a mod uses a GG feature its a partial copy of my design.

Well I couldn't explan it better imeo.... But some can't grasp this .... It's all a principle I guess and not blindness ... The blind are those who don't see that the 69 is a mod based on a GG like the EA and that oil barrel Adam ! Which coping the mod was not enough now even trying to copy a ufs :lol: unbelivieble .....

And I tell you how I " or in your case Ben I see only GG" where would you prefare to put your money ? Into someone that had brought vaping to an other level and keeps on innovating or onto some that only would make there stuff based on someone else's work ?

I know my answer ! What is urs? benny " I am not attacking you here ! I'm just letting you know how I see things !!
Imeo is not a god to me !! But he is a great visionary /inventor .. That had made leaps in vaping and not steps !!
Look around you and think about it !!
There are a few like him .. But the 69-ea-Adam mods aren't mate to say the least .
