I've worked with computer for over 20 years and know what things are possible. We recently had a school get caught recording through kids' web cams and the coolest part was that they were smart enough to disable the activation light so no one knew they were doing it till they tried to bust a kid.

Interestingly enough, stuff like that is usually installed on people's computer with their permission. No one ever reads every line of the Terms of Service when they sign up for online resource access and any button click can potentially be scripted as an agreement to install (especially if you're logged in on an Admin account when clicking). Just depends on whether or not an online resource your accessing has been hacked or is notoriously nefarious.

Before anyone takes my conspiracy theory too seriously and chucks their PC out the window, built-in OS security is getting better and Anti-malware/anti-virus is much better than it used to be. Place where stuff like this is most prevalent is when your employer or your school owns the PC and are kind enough to "lend it to you" for company business or school work. Not to mention of course, DHS and their precious "NarusInsight".

Remember: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you...

I love the look of the brass but have found that I can't stand the feel of the brass or the smell of it when it gets the slightest amt of patina on it...it just feels dirty and gross....now I am not the prissy type...(I have been up to the elbows in hydraulic fluid a time or two in my life) but get in-get dirty-get out. I don't want to sit and hold a stinky brass...sorry guys, honestly no offense to anyone or brass!

I would prefer SS button face on my 2 SS JustGG's if possible.

BTW: I can't tell you how many times Yankee and I have promised each other "no more gear".

Like a crackhead couple, you guys need intervention :p ...makes it tough when you're both addicted lol

Tell me about it. I have to polish my brass at least once a week. I even followed Bish's video on polishing but there's no way I can go the 3 month's like he does.

Agreed. I love the 2 tone look, but have given up on brass completely... if I polish it at night, it looks like an old candlestick by lunch the next day...

I'm so paranoid I keep a piece of tape over the camera on my laptop screen. I only pull it off when I'm intentional going into a VTC...

Haha, I do the same thing... I haven't had a virus in 20 years or so, and everyone at work makes fun of me, but you'd think an office full of software nerds would at least concede that, without a hardware switch on it, it's fair game to hacks and Apple/Google/Microsoft using it to provide "helpful, interest-based, geotargeted contextual content based upon your unique, personal, individualized preferences."

I'm going to say something here. Our 401k investment firm called and asked if we want to divert our contributions to a man named Imeo in Greece. That's how bad it is.

I'm guilty of the same. Is there help for us?

Nope. None at all. I bought a SS one after telling myself I didn't need another one.:facepalm: And I keep window shopping at COV flirting around with the brass. Put it in my cart, add the discount, figure out the shipping, get the total, look at it for awhile and then delete. And then do it again. Window shopping never ends well for me.:laugh:

Its better it goes to Imeo's GG than RJ Reynolds tobacco Co & state taxes. The price for c-stixx in my state just went up to $7.75 per pack. That's right 3 cartons or 1 JGG, I'll pick the GG no sweat. I'm just glad Imeo gave us so many choices with his furiously creative career. Imeo's brains must be on GG steroids.

guys, I too believe that I will not make another GG after the last I make. But when I have an idea, I have to make it true. And I never make something that exists in the market. Every new GG construction has to be unique. For example, justGG is not a common e-cig because we have all the features made in the best and easiest way. When you will have it in your hands you will see how simple an e-cig can be made and how easy is to operate it. Its made so simple and the user dont have to take care of anything while he assembles it. Moving poles that cant be damaged, moving poles that can be taken off just for fun and clean them so easy, solid or telescopic look, native GGTS connection, AD ring without threads, easy button, ability to bypass the battery spring, invisible venting holes.

I really think that the rest of mechanical e-cigs have to think again the way they are made

Wellll - just a thought in case you forgot about your original heavy brass button - the finest of them all, adjustable, thick brass head and the greatest knurling of all - eheheh - You know me Imeo, I must always point out this button
