Just GG

[pl_svn]

Call me a traditionalist but I think it was better before.

Traditionalist!!!!

svn, I wouldnt like the engravings sideways even if the wings were turned also,.just my opinion

 

[BIG CL0UDS]

I really want one of these buttons.

Me too. That button looks great.

 

[dspin]

dusty, imo that was Imeos finest ggts button ever, the grooves are easy to clean with soft brush also. adjustable too.

one time with the notched top cap that didnt go over very well at all.

i love the look of the double Knurled ring of the one on the left. i have a nickel ggts with a avs in nickel .... just sick. (knurling , knurling everywhere, lol)

has the double Knurled ring style ever been made in stainless steel and if yes how impossible are they to find?



BTW, I liked the notched cap! LOL

 

[Phr³³k]

I agree with the engravings of the newest GGTS, this just doesn't look good. But personally I disagree to the 2011 and earlier versions as I like the newer engravings with the big wings and "The GG" and "by Imeo" on the opposite sides much more. But as for all, that's just my humble opinion

 

[CaptSteve]

The July 2011 GGTS had the gold ELEGANT engravings, TMF was also engraved on them opposite side of by Imeo. Totally balanced. Brass end caps, brass telescope if you wanted. Very classy and elegant. 2012 began the industrial look of the GGTS, deep black engravings, steel end caps, one time with the notched top cap that didnt go over very well at all.

NOW the new out of balance engravings on the newest GGTS. To my opinon the new engravings ruin the GGTS - wings going one way, engravings going the other way.

I would have sold 20,000 or more 2011 GGTS until I couldnt sell them anymore before changing them around but never having the engravings going sideways.


Do you want this??

or this: (changed the button to the very old style brass) wish I had pics of the top engravings

HERE is example of top engravings - just imagine these in gold tone like 7-11 with by Imeo on the right and To my friend on the left and the # on the back

D you're not alone buddy. I too can't say I'm thrilled by the horizontal engravings. I guess we're too used to the look of the older engravings which we know and love so much.

The new one's are with horizontal wings too D. Don't you just wish we had a good stash of bottom engraved tubes

 

[dspin]

Yes Capt, that would be awesome, worth a fortune for sure

 

[fright88]

has the double Knurled ring style ever been made in stainless steel and if yes how impossible are they to find?

Nope that style hasn't been seen since the Nickel versions.

 

[imeothanasis]

stealth and just GG is the same thing cop, because justGG can be exactly like the stealth when you totally close its telescope.And just GG is made all of it from the same type of brass

Are new stealths coming with the JustGG Imeo?

Can you confirm if the JustGG is all made out of the same new brass?
Not mixed brass types so it patinas at the same rate.

thank you for your nice words to me eric. I hope that justGG will follow the rule of GG devices and it will make you as happy as the rest of GG devices. Be sure that if I am happy with a GG device then you will be happy too

In other news, this preorder strikes me as significant. Imeo has, in his hands, a rough prototype (assuming it's aluminum as it's easier to cut). The sites listing them for preorder have some pretty awful pictures. No one has had one in hand to do a review on youtube. It's one of the more expensive "battery holders" on the market. And yet we're here on page 45 of the thread, slowly beating down our own hesitances to buy one (or two, or three, or...). Even if there are only 2000 made this round (I'm sure more will follow once said YouTube posts appear), that's still roughly half a million dollars of outlay for something no one has seen.

Not many creators of products get that sort of customer loyalty. Apple has it. People would buy two two empty boxes labeled "the next thing we come out with." Ferrari has it... there are waiting lists for cars that they haven't even built yet.

I don't know of anyone but Imeo who has cultured it over time in the e-cig market. There have been a few niche pieces here and there, generally hand made wood ones that weren't feasible to be mass produced. I know Provaris are popular, but I'd be willing to wager that they couldn't get people to pay for one months out based on their description alone. They would have to build hype until release and then let the dollars start flowing.

It's a testament to Imeo that I have never bought a GG product that that didn't exceed my expectations which allows me to pony up the money ahead of time because I know it is going to be a great device.

I am trying to find ways to increase production without sacrifying my time for my customers Poppa. My customers will always have the time they deserve.

IMHO the preorder system has dramatically increased Imeos sales into the thousands per run. Before the preorder system took off the average run was 300 units. And those volumes were enough to create massive purchasing issues, that still occur with out a preorder.
Frankly I'm impressed with Imeos ability to manage the businesses 10x growth. He still has time for ECF as well as every thing else he has to do to produce just 1 run of a preorder.
The next preorder for all things GG is going to be an impressive feet. Imeo must be growing in his capacity to produce faster and more efficiently to handle such a massive preorder. All together these preorders are a testament to Imeos ability to manage so much as well as design new products.

Bish and Dspin have a prototype my dear Jojo. I only made 4 steel prototypes, one for me, one for Vasillis, one for bish and one was sitting in a drawer, so I desaided to send it to Dspin. If I hade more prototypes I would send them to other very good friends like fright, poppa, Ariel etc

erich there are people that do have the Just GG in hand already...Im not sure why there are no reviews yet...Last I heard, Bishop was waiting for permission to give a review and show the Just GG publicly.

and I agree that most of us trust Imeo's Quality and Performance on his product more than not. I have never questioned Imeo's quality or performance. This is the 1st time I have questioned athestics and only on the new brass alloy.

@dspin:

with "dont fix it if it isnt broke" i assume you mean don't put a cap with the new material on your mod if the old one still works?

@Imeo:

I'm really glad to hear that you decided to go back to the old material. Personally it just affected the heads from the brass pack and a brass venting cap for me. I was looking forward to get my hands on 2 Brass telescopes, but not with the new material. So i have to wait when the parts are available in the old brass again.

Thanks for listening to us, i really appreciate this Imeo.

cheers phk

I thank you too phk

Well done brother Imeo, it's these guys that have supported you so many years now and they are the most qualified to review new GG's

 

[CaptSteve]

I would like to tell everyone that I had a chance to see the new Just GG up close when I was with Imeo a few weeks ago and it is fantastic. I never thought the GGTS had any room for improvement but Imeo did it again. Certainly the most beautiful and advanced mechanical PV on the planet

Thanks Capt Steve, here my first review of the JUST GG
