I have a Penelope and I'm loving it. Now after reading all of this I'm torn between getting a proteus or waiting for for the VIR. Or getting a ggts. I'm so confused. And how much is the proteus going to cost? Has it been announced or did I miss it? Either way I'm sure I will be more than pleased with whatever I end up with maybe both bit I'm not made of money lol.

Proteus has been announced, it's in the "P&P" thread in the GG forum. I believe the cost is estimated around the same price as the Penelope: $130. There was even a picture of the prototype version posted!

I think if you absolutely have to choose between the two, make your decision based on their sizes. Proteus is designed to be an 'eGo killer' in that it has a generally smaller form factor, shorter battery life and is designed to be highly portable.

GGTS is a bit larger but is designed to be whatever size you'd like it to be, since it can take any battery you want to throw at it. It's also meant to be a bit more modular than the Proteus will be, to my understanding.

If you can only have ONE - there is no contest between Proteus and GGTS - GGTS will win everytime, GGTS RULES

Upcoming run of GGTS will be #8 for me - not bragging my friend, just trying to show if it was not that great I would not be getting another one. Do I need 8 - yes I do.

One each for Iatty, UFS, Odys Small Mode, Odys Drip Mode, Odys, big mode, Penelope, and other attys to remain un-named.


GGTS will take any atty and also any battery configuration you can think of except for the ones bigger than 18650

to say the truth I am more exited than everyone else river. If it works like I want then nothing will compare to it. It will be the best by far electronic part in the world
You must be at least as excited as we are Imeo! I am so envious of what you do Imeo, to always be in creative mode and to bring such pleasure to all of these people. It must be so gratifying!
