Thank you for answering. There is no need to describe the outstanding quality of Imeo´s construction. In this country we got up to two Million vapors - who know it now. And this is the problem itself.


If Imeo can´t enlarge his quantities in Greece why not turn to foreign countries? Right here ... for example ... you can easily find more than enough capacity to produce as much tank- and feed systems as you like in any quality you may determine. And Greece ... for development. I don´t believe this is the problem.


Much easier to imagine, Imeo likes the game it is. Is it so incomprehensible that some of the customers aren´t so much deligthted by consequences? And the demand just started to increase.

I also think you have to consider the fact that Imeo is an inventor/artist/innovator, he can't sit on an idea for very long before it HAS to be made. If he is anything like me, creativity is a constant non stop thing, idea after idea, each one generating 10 other ideas, which then do the same. Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't change a thing in how it works for me :) Nor would I want Imeo to change ;)

We all have to remember we are along for the ride, enjoy it, it's a good one. Imeo, appreciates us, and he shows it regularly (he listens to ALL of our ideas.) If we make him do too much, it makes it less of a passion... more of a job, and that's when the world will lose out. (Remember Imeo, assembles ALL of these HIMSELF! The children aren't old enough yet :lol: )

I get frustrated too, (it shows in my recent post :lol:) it's part of life.

Please don't be offended by my comment as many vapers, new and experienced don't grasp it either. That has nothing to do with ones intelligence level but it is an understanding that only come from spending time daily around the man and his fans to "get a feel" for the direction Imeo has chosen.

This is no game to him - It is life! Imeo is driven to create, refine the creation and create again. You simply can't do that on a mass production schedule. If you tried, the UFS which is nearly a year old now as mentioned, would still be expanding production lines to satisfy demand. And Imeo? He would be like a lion that wanted to be free to roam the wilds of the limitless mind and create, refine and create some more.

The GG series isn't about quantities - It's about Imeo making enough to fund the next creation his mind has given birth to. That is why it is said each GG piece has a bit of Imeo in it literally. When he is working on a project, he gives his whole self to it, completes it, critiques it, ships it and by his own words, even as it ships, is preparing for the next iteration of it.

As a user of the GG line, it is sort of like taking a roller coaster to work instead of a commuter train. The roller coaster is not for everyone and certainly not for every day life. The commuter trains move large numbers of peoples in the same fashion from point A to point B and back every day. It is a safe and stable if not boring way to ride each day.

For the adventurous, that know Imeo will only make a few hundred of anything, there is the highs of scoring a device they know will be limited and the lows of missing a pre-order knowing you may never get to experience that chapter in the evolution of the GG. But we die hard GG fans not only know that, we accept it.

For if it were any other way, it would be too much like the commuter train - Slow, stable and boring. For me and others like me, I'll take the roller coster realizing that for every exhilerating high, there are bound to be heart in your throat lows. That's the only way one can experience the GG evolution fully. ;)

Cumulus being a fellow Greek like Imeo I once asked him in a PM why doesn't he start producing the GG line in other countries too in order to increase production. He told me that that's not what his intention is for GG, he does not want it to become a mass produced product much like other Chinese e-cigs. Frankly I see his point, GG is unique in the field of innovation, quality as well as custom built. What you must understand is that this is Imeo's baby, his creation with much love and care and personal sacrifice. Whatever he's done till now has enjoyed incredible success. It's like asking Picasso to mass produce his artwork, it just would not work. But despite what we may say Imeo and Imeo alone will pave the future of the GG line and I for one fully trust his judgement.

it's it stange when someone offers $400 for the ODY and the upgrade kit and there are no offers. Sometimes money in the HAND is not worth it....that has to really make you feel good Imeo.....making a item for people that they feel is worth more than money :)

Lol I was thinking that earlier. The other day I said I wouldn't sell my oddly even for double what I paid and I meant it. Although I do wish I had bought 2 lol

I share your valuation of UFS´s potential. For a decade (at least) in mass production it might turn to a symbol of the high-class e-cigarette itself. And exactly this would be my wish. Beeing sold in quantities like joyetechs - it could feed Imeo´s family for generations.


No doubt left my wish will turn true as fairy tails commonly do. The comprehensible picture of Imeo´s personality you painted, eliminated any false hope. Don´t get me wrong. If someone out there in Greece is lucky, living in a kind of flow, is consistent with himself ... that´s great. Although I might have preferred a mass production of high-end e-cigarettes that up to now unfortunately doesn´t exist.


All the best to Imeo and I guess a couple of his friends here who answered my posts

Imeo is maintaining his current and past customers need for spare parts. Producing new steel and brass upgrade parts for at least half a dozen devices, most of them discontinued.
And producing the SS GGTS, Stealth, and Ody, plus another new idea which he mentioned.
Plus he takes time to socialize with his GG forum, and answers tons of questions all the time.
He could do a lot of things, he seems to like doing what he wants to do just fine.

If you try running a wick down the center channel it will restrict air flow. Also, the center channel is sealed against the juice by the 1.78x1.78mm o-ring you put in the small slot at the bottom of the center pin.

I think my intention was not clear enough. I was thinking to cut a very short piece of wick and have go down into the opening of the ceramic cup until it hits the Center post top nut thing, so that the ends of the wick are just touching it. It looks like the liquid should be getting fed through there. Don't know if that's any use though, still haven't tried a new set-up... too busy vaping with the short mode :)

Oooops, You are correct and I am fixing it as we speak. Thank you for pointing out my typo ;)

and you might want to add to your edited photo that the Upper Connection Nut that is illustrated there is for Dripping Mode Only.

Added "Drip Mode" text of the Upper Connection Nut. :)

there is a couple of full ody's up on ukv classies, $270 and $277. they do become available but at a premium

I really would like a second so I can run a dripping mode and full mode without having to flip interiors but I can wait till more are available. I wouldn't part with mine but I can't afford high premiums either lol.
