Reposting this here on the off-chance that my post is removed from the GG forum.............
Actually... a shame that when Iken brought up the issue to Imeo, he was told he would get no replacement parts to correct it, but that if the end-user wanted a better button they could get one from Imeo (with shipping charges and shipping waits of course).
Thank you, I appreciate the comments!
So far it is performing about even to my Silver Bullet. I just charged the CR123 to try it in Nano form, but I expect it to perform like my Protege. I'm not seeing any higher level of performance over my other devices yet.
Thanks Imeo, glad you like the images.
I'm certainly not trying to be unduly critical here, so I hope you don't see it that way.
On my switch (can't speak to others) the marks are as visible in my hand as they are in the photos, it is deeply torn up. The end cap machining can also be seen & felt without magnification. The minor blemishes in the body aren't noticeable with the naked eye unless you're searching for them though.
I do appreciate that these are hand made, and that's also why I appreciate my Protege and Silver Bullet as well... love these exotic beauties.
Yeah but the USD does not equal the Euro and likely will not for a very, very long time... so that simply doesn't matter in the slightest here. If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ... when he hopped
I don't really worry about the money I spend on things I want. I am fortunate enough to have a career that allows me to thrive even in this economy, so I never complain about a price if I see something that I really want. But I still expect a certain level of quality to rationalize the value of any product small or large purchase.
I am also a realist and know full-well that nothing can be 100% perfect in this world, and I am always aware of this when I make an educated decision and purchase a hand made product as well.
Lovely photos Bandit!!
Shame Iken didn't fix the buttons before sending them out to you discerning US customers.....
Still, just get yourself a bit of sandpaper and it will be sorted in no time - kind of a nice way to bond with your new GG.

As usual Bandit... Desktop wallpaper material... and website worthy selling tools. Those are really nice. Are you sure you don't do this for a living? I think you are a professional photographer. And like Lisa said, Take some sandpaper to the switch and then polish it out. It will look great after that. But these are all hand made.. .Not CNC machined like the others are.
Very nice work, you should be getting paid for this kinda work.
I can't wait to hear your comments on it after using it for a few days. I think the GG has much less resistance not having any wires and I get more out of my batteries. I wonder if you will notice the same thing...?

Hi Bandit, your pictures are a piece of art. Ubelieveable!!
The button is like this because I put tweesers on it but its not visible like photos. You cant really see this. Also you cant see the details that picture shows. But a handmade product has its own very small marks on it just to know that is yours. You have to understand what a handmade product is to appreciate it.
But I see that maybe its time to move on a CNC because some people want GG totally perfect. It is worth it anyway![]()

Yes but taking into account the excahnge rate(1euro=1.66USdollars) that really would only be $156 if the euro equaled the dollar. Plus that $250 was for a very extensive kit that included the GGT, batteries, multi battery charger, 2 atomizers, eliquid and a NASA utilized skining product made specifically for the GGT called Skinomi(which is awesome). So really it's not that bad of a deal at all, considering the exchange rate, it's a fantastic deal.
