Your link doesn't work on PC cuz you linked the mobile site.
Here's the PC FB site.
https://www.facebook.com/GrandInnovations
And a link with info from Vineyard Vapes

The screen looks friggin awesome.
I think it would have been cooler if they could down size it a bit.
The spec list is sick though! And so is the price. I'd be a buyer for something like that around the $200 price point.

I would really like to see an independent review of this device. They should send one to Rip Trippers, I'd feel a lot better about pulling the trigger on one.
I just saw on their site $300 for one of these. Too rich for my blood
so has anyone received one of these devices? I bought something off this site and sent them an email, no response. Kind of hesisitant to drop that kind money on a site that doesnt respond to an email.
I was just told my Gi2 is in the country (Australia) woooohoooo. It should be in my hand early next week!
Here's mine!
First Impressions:-
I love it! - it's much smaller than I first thought, most MODs are. It feels very comfortable in my hand and is easy to fire in either direction, with either my thumb or forefinger. The menu is a bit convoluted but I'm sure I will get used to it. The vape is great! The buttons are OK, the fire button is recessed so there is little chance of it firing in your pocket but it's not that recessed that it's hard to fire when you want it to. The sliding back door is way too loose and I will have to find a way to lock it in place and stop it rattling. as yet I have not found a way to turn it off! You can lock it and the screen goes dim but it never actually turns off!

Excellent Laurie, cheers for posting. This is the only independant review I can find of the Gi2.
Would love to hear any more of your experience with it Laurie.

Do all your atties sit flush? Has it got an adjustable centre post? What are the contacts made of?
How is the operating system, I hear it is a bugger to navigate? Also I heard the buttons are low quality?
How is the attention to detail in the overall finish, inside and out?
Any info would be great.

Centre post is adjustable so all atties fit flush. Post is silver in color but I'm not sure of the material. Outside finish is pretty good, 8/10. Inside the battery contacts are good and strong, but there is a cardboard insert between the batteries and the board, and covering the top board which both could have been done better. The top board is located in a slot and appears to be held in place with some kind of tape. I will do some inside pics later today if I get a chance. The back door is VERY loose, rattley, and wants to slide up when handling or picking up, I will have to find a fix for this before I am fully happy with it. The menu is a bit convoluted but will soon be second nature. The buttons are tactile switches, and flush, nice and clicky, I can't really comment on their quality but I have not had any misfires. Happy to answer any further questions you have.
Top stuff sir. Nothing to make me regret putting $300+ down on mine so far.
Was thinking could magnets be used to secure the back somewhat? Or is that out of the question putting powerful magnets in close proximity to circuitry?
I saw a question on GI's Facebook asking if the firmware be changed? Pretty sure that is out of the question with no way to interface, though again what an update could possibly add I don't know.
Really appreciate this insight into the current pinacle of VV/VW mods and looking forward to more pics and any other findings.

I see pain staking, hard work, hand made artistry; really looking forward to receiving mine.
It is a slight down seeing tape, with the top left bit not even straight.
How does it feel to use? Does it feel like a quality item apart from the back's rattle? I am a little upset it does not lock in place. Though also kind of like the fact, GI did not simply drill a couple of holes in the back for screws, thus spoiling the aesthetics of the device.

It feels solid and comfortable in the hand. It has some heft but it's lighter than a VTR. All the edges are rounded. I have a temporary fix for the back cover at least. I'll see if I can bring the post over from AVF.
I have some thin rubber sheet, and some thin double sided tape. I combined the two and stuck them on!
1. to the side of the circuitboard at the bottom
2. to the cardboard at the top
This takes the rattle out of the door and stops it from slipping up. It's actually a bit tight now so when you slide the door down it "eases" itself back up a mm, so I have to push it back down a couple of times until it stays!

Got the wallpaper thing happening to with some help
You can have fill color images but the ones I was playing with happens to be B&W.
The first is the AVF logo and the second is The Vape Shop (aus), the retailer who got us the goods!

Great stuff again. Looks a good fix. A joy to wake up and see these posts, must find that thread on AVF too.
I was wondering how is the finish? What with a fair few people on a UK forum recently, getting there Hana mods with flaws, dings and big scratches on theirs.
Looks the Bees Knees with those blue logo's displaying. :thumbsup:
