I have an uncle here that has a machine shop that he uses to produce parts for airplanes and other various industries. He used a large machine that you input the measurements and it produces it . He uses stainless steel and aluminum, and im not sure but maybe titianium.
I just got an idea, I have this wonderful part that is for orthopedic surgeries, its a drill bit made of what I think is titanium, the on/off switch is broken so it was going into the trash. I asked if I could have it. I love it because it is so beautifully made. I think it was more to repair than to buy a new one, I think it costs about 2,000 dollars? Do you think it could be made into an atomizer?View attachment 142239

I'm sure it could , but would be better off just buying some new metal , its cheap and you don't have constraints . BTW yes that is titanium , the colour says it all , but I would go for SS , a 510 thread will last Longer in ss

Greece and Europe are maybe the only serious options for me Kin. I also send a design to China to see what they can do for me. You never know what they will make. They know already my standards and they know what they have to make. And of course I will pay them after they send me the stuff because they may make a nice sample and a bad batch. Testing them is not bad if you agree

thanks for the sincerity and clarity of your answer imeo, you are always over the top, even in extremely honest relationship that you have with your audience.

having said that, i root for the greek people,
capable of manufacturing extraordinary works for thousands of years. :thumbs:

also the chinese obviously they can do wonderful things, but in the modern era they have been present by the mass production below cost.

those who choose golden greek is not afraid to spend a little more, they realize that what they buy is much more of what they pay.
those who are reluctant to buy now, to save money, when the batch is over they are all anxiously looking for a legendary piece.

Thank you Kin:)
As for the prices, GG started as the most expensive product in the market and now is at the average and for sure much lower from its real price. I see people around selling very simple and without any innovation mods and atomizers at crazy prices. If I follow them then I have to charge at least 400 euros for example Ody and more than 600 euros the GGTS. I dont know if you agree

Ody was the ultimate atomizer but I see that I was wrong. Ithaka is the ultimate atomizer with the 2 updates that I am preparing for it. It will be a legendary product for sure Kin

I'm sure 160 eur is nowhere near the production cost of a GG and you have a decent profit margin (which is fine, don't get me wrong!). But 600? I know inflation might be an issue in Greece, but come on now... ;-)

:) Ok, I will tell you something pho. Look around and check prices. I am sure that you didnt. As for my prices, lets say that I want to earn 20 euros per GG that is a very small amount. And 20 euros for my seller, so 40 total? ok. I and my seller have to pay taxes that is 45%. I have to pay people to shine, clean, assemble etc. I have to pay VAT like all european people. So lets say that GG cost me on machine shop at 90 euros. Now tell me the price that I have to sell it to earn those 20 euros that is really nothing special if you agree.

You will see that things are not as they look like

CHINA? Greece? USA? to much to list but why worry where IMEO decides to go have it made. I trust in Imeo as everyone here should. Nothing wrong voicing concerns but I'm more for supporting his call and judgment. It;s his design and every passionate engineer that can designs something that they are extremely passionate will make sure who ever he decides to get the job done will do so correctly and perfectly to his standards and to his design.

As for china i have many concerns but I do trust in his call.

Sending any ideas to China is bad idea. They will start making sloppy copies and call it "GG" without any shame, no matter it's patent protected or not. Their major goal - is $$$. They are intellectual predators.

Yea but when you buy china you get what you pay for....I go way out of my way to make sure I have as little as I can get from china. I would rather pay the extra price and have the real thing.

Please don't compare did genesis to this.

Gen DiD something that is less than 5-10 bucks to make your going to get a 10-15 dollar kind of job quality. I have to agree I personally hate china's work ethics and lack of huge quality control. Yet I still believe in Imeos quality control and he will hammer the hell out of the device. .... if i lived in Greece i would put all the devices in a major dual highlander setup and help test that thoroughly just to help.

I personally would rather just wait for the real thing from the real man.....if it comes from him then it's truly going to be up to his standards. No question

I think that an atomizer like this has no cost Jojo. Anyway, I first have to start the production line so the machine shop will be able to give me the price.
I'm sorry but I think I missed something. Any idea what the cost of the Ithaca will be?
