As Imeo said, there wil be price fluctuations depending on the actual cost of the final production version. I assure you that as we all know anyway, Imeo does not make the GG series based on profit margins. If it costs less than his current guess, you will pay less. Be asured of that.
As for the fact it is a larger price at all, consider that this new project will combine literally the UFS, the iAtty and then other features on top of that. Just taking the UFS and iAtty combination though and it will be cheaper than the cost of buying a UFS and an iAtty.
Yes I agree it is the Holiday season coming up so money will be close for us all. I am not sure I will be able to get one of the initial release but I am 100% sure the cost paid will be no more than Imeo has to make it.
We all talk often of how Imeo could have made himself a rich man if he took some pieces already made and mass produced them. But that isn't his goal or desire. He wants the vapers to have the best PV and accessories in the world even if the "all in one" devices as the Odysseus will be cost more to make.
