My two cents worth- Penelope rocks my vaping world. For a guy who never had a rebuildable, it's a game changer.
Would love to have air control on it, as getting the draw right without is (possible but) a bit of a pain.
That said- I'd much rather have a good solid mechanical mod on it (14500 are fine, but whatever) that an "ego-type" battery unit. Even if the combined 1300 mah unit performs better.
Since I switched to battery mods, I haven't gone back to combined units, and I can't see why I would.
If 3.6 volt regulated it the thing, I'd still rather have a small mah changeable battery mod than a larger mah combined unit.
Cause I can buy 14500s just about anywhere, but I can't count on being able to get hold of this thing when one wears out.
I'll probably buy whatever you come out with, but seriously- if proteus as planned isnt' yet a possibility, go mechanical 14500 mod. Please.

Imeo this is good.
just got one question..... would this be for all to buy or just the lucky ones who had their name on the list for the proteus ?
I have been away for extended times and after reading some of the comments, I will say it is probably good I have been unable to monitor these forums. The Proteus will be made only when it meets Imeo's satisfaction. That is a simple concept that has always existed for the product line of the GG series.
Imeo is not here to get rich - If so, he would have sold some designs to the Chinese long ago. This is his passion and love and there are a good number of us here that share that same passion with him. What other designers and maker of his skill and reputation would ask openly the things he does? Somewhere in the area of NONE that I know of.
And please, before anyone says it is "just" a PV or whatever, think carefully please. Please do not take Imeo's patience as weakness nor those of us who work for him and/or follow his work making it appear that such open criticism is allowed for it is not. At the end of the day, the GG series is about the spirit of the designs and Imeo's commitment to excellence that have made the GG name what it is.
I am only an Associate but my job when well is as always, to help police these forums of his. This forum section is as much his "home" as any 4 walls are. You can't expect to walk into another persons home and pee on the carpet and expect nothing to be said for it will be. Other than that, if anyone has divergent views of PV's in general or how Imeo conducts his business, that is your right but... when any of us click reply, it becomes the interest of not only Imeo but those charged with keeping things on track here as well.
Other than that, it is great to be back at least partially and like the rest of you, I anxiously await when Imeo has a product he feels comfortable with putting the name GG on!
Wooo Hooo!!!! That Captain is BACK.
A very warm welcome back Major!!!

today i meet an old friend in a e-smoke shop. He was holding penelope with an 14500 mod (greek mod)
He told me that he change battery every 6 hours (AW IMR)
Dont know, maybe 14500 batteries are weak for heavy vapers like us. There are a lots of people out there who uses only 2 14500 batteries per day. My wife needed only 2-3 10440 with ggslim some years ago (now she quit vaping)
I mean that somehow its unreal to believe that people out there dont need a 14500 mechanical gg. Hope that Proteus comes out sometime, gg family needs a slim solution for "slim' users

Can't wait to see the new match for Penelope proteus would be sick but a higher battery life mod would be better in my opinion I am kinda glad the 14500 version is shelfed
I think the greater majority of people are willing to accept the Proteus in a form with longer battery life because even with the longer battery life it still maintains a smaller form factor and retains the capability to act as the perfect throne for Penelope. Waiting on what is the right thing for the Majority of people I think is the best idea.
We all know that no one can please Every Single Person Out there but if you can appease the Majority of them then you have done a tremendous job. Complain or grip all you want but in the grand scheme of things it is the Majority Vote that gets the attention, not a select few who want a PV that is 2 inches long and lasts all day, sorry but the technology just does not exist yet to do this.

I am just looking for a purpose-built GG PV to use my two Penelope's on that has a smaller/thinner form factor than a GGTS. By that I mean something that was designed from the ground up with the Penelope in mind. I'm not set on the 14500 battery and will be more than thrilled with whatever battery ends up being designed for, by Imeo. Would a 14500 work for me? Absolutely, but I'm not married to it
I know I will be getting some resistance for this (I am in the GG subforum after all ), but I want to speak my mind on this matter and I must say I'm not liking this idea. If it was VV, I probably would have gotten a few of it, but to me, after the hype building up to the Proteus that "will be revolutionary", this really is a turnoff. In a time where eGo twist batteries are commonplace, I don't need yet another non-VV regular proprietary battery, even if it is regulated. Sorry for the criticism...
So, while I still LOVE my ody and penelope, it seems they'll be staying on my provari for the foreseeable future

You are darn straight you are going to get some resistance on this. NO ONE Ever said the battery was going to be Proprietary, neither did anyone ever say it would NOT be VV.
The only thing said is a possible change in battery size to increase usage between changes and that the electronics were not small enough yet for IMEO to make it to the specifications he originally intended. I feel it is a Privilege to own GG Products because of the very thing that people keep complaining about!!! Taking His Time and Doing It Right.
Comparing ANYTHING GG to an Ego is a down right disgusting insult. Flat out I don't care who you are, that just will not be tolerated here.
Rant over;
Nate aka Darth Vapor
This is what Imeo said:
I deduced from that:
1. The battery is proprietary ("making a battery")
2. It will be non-VV ("steady at 3,6 volts")
And for the record I don't find comparing anything to an eGo to be an insult, and it certainly wasn't intended to be. I'm not trolling, simply stating that I am somewhat disappointed because I, personally, am not waiting for something like this to come around. But that is not to say a lot of people will be very happy with it. It's just my opinion buddy
Having said that, I just found the Ithaka video and I'm in love with imeo all over again. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I think that the Ego is a very fine device, it is just in a whole different League than GG's are.
Yeah the Ithaka is a work of art indeed and I agree, stop Yappin and take this cash Baby LOL

all people will be able to buy it Osiris. I am just waiting to see what do you prefere most. Thats why I asked all of you
Without getting into the heated debate of whether it will be a "GG Ego" or not, i will simply cast my vote:
I would buy option 2.
I would propably not buy option 1.
Imeo, after I really thought about the battery situation, and remember how my 14500 batteries (on GP Piccolo) works daily with Penny (for heavy vapors is best vapor-feeling too short ), I preferred first option with a small 17xxx-battery mod, with Mini-GG-Button, and seperate battery. But, I don't need the volt regulation, my GG's should not have a downstep or boost-function, and I almost think like many GG-users, no show of puffs, that's chinese stuff.
For me, I can say, I want to use GG's pure and natural/mechanical, this is my way.
Only my opinion. Thanks for ask us, this shows again, how customer-oriented you are. Thanks for being your customer, this is honorable!

My Vote for sure is to keep it mechanical because that is what makes the GG what it is in my opinion. No other GG has had any need for voltage changes or anything because the items that go with them such as the iatty, Ody and Penelope are custom built to the resistance that gives us what we want.
I see no reason to vary the voltage if you are building an atomizer to suit the vape you want already.
That being said, I too understand the draw of variable voltage as well because I have had more than one VV device. They are very nice if you do not want to put the time in to making sure you build exactly the same resistance every single time for your atomizer. Some people do not want to do this.
So If I had to offer up a suggestion in reference to the debate of VV vs Non VV. I say simply make a small extension as an optional item and a very small voltage regulator module that can fit directly into the tube much as the kick does with the larger GGTS.
With the above idea those of us with a preference for a mechanical mod can have one and those with the preference for variable voltage can also have what they want with the addition of a tiny amount of length to their device.
Everyone wins in the above scenario.

I would love a mini GGTS in a 14500. I've thought many times about buying A Picolo or a Sturm but cannot bring myself to buy anything Non-GG. Everytime I've bought a non-GG in the past, I've been dissapointed in the quality, robustness (or lack of), poor design etc.
Now that Would be an EPIC combination. Simply a matching and smaller version of the GGTS geared towards the Penelope for size.
