most of you agree to a 14500 GG with a separate button, with a future ability to change the button to any other electronic kind, yes?

I would definitely like to see a smaller version of the GGTS myself that would match the diameter of the Penelope. Totally understandable if this cannot be done, but it would be a beautiful combination in my opinion. Perhaps even using a 16 mm battery if necessary :D

I would like to amplify a little bit on what the benefits I believe to exist with a 14 mm battery GGTS.

The largest benefit I can see is the same benefit we have with the GGTS. The ability to make it shorter or longer so that it fits both our needs and our hand size. The 18650 version fits my hands perfectly with a GGTS Plus Odysseus combination. With a 14 mm GGTS I can make that same thing true on a smaller scale.

The Versatility of this mod would be just as it is with the GGTS, they would be endless.

Sincerely;
Nate aka Darth Vapor

Look at the enormous interest in the GG Slim. If they were a 14500 and not a 10440 battery, we'd all be gunning to have one again. The 10440 battery was the only drawback. 14500s aren't to bad IMHO. That being said, I'd love a slim G with or without VV.
Great point Huff. I love the slim but hate the 10440. With a small slimmer GG, I would seriously consider going Low Voltage, at least when stealth vaping.

I believe that there are probably going to be two schools of thought on this device for the most part.

One is my school of thought: Make a device as versatile as the GGTS so people can customize the size and battery capacity to their liking while still having a very sleek and small form factor.

Two is the school of thought that I also agree with and that is the slimline look of the GG Slim Device, this would take away much of the versatility but it would be a very sleek and smooth device which would display as much class as the GGTS Design, just in a different way.

Any and all thoughts on my ramblings are very welcome, I simply love discussing form factor design of PV's it is a passion for me :D

I love the GG mechanical button but realize that with the slim 14500 diameter tube, its not physically possible. A round click type button would be great. I for one don't like bottom buttons. Makes the mod tough to stand on end if the spring is soft but if the spring is harder, it hurts to press it with the side of my pinky finger which is the natural way to use it. On the other hand, if the button is a separate module, maybe in the future when the Proteus electronics gets worked out, we could swap just the module??

Yeah and I have used a VV 14500 Mod before and I got a very long time out of the charge on them. Even at max voltage with 2 14500's it lasted me almost 24 hours so I could probably suspect that a single 14500 even with Variable voltage it would last plenty long enough for the majority of vapers.

The soft spring thing is a very easy fix though for standing on end, just put a locking ring on the end cap that screws out to lock out the button from being depressed. That problem is very easily overcome.

Option 2... I'm with Sam on all thoughts, one of the big reasons I went with mods is that I can grab batteries anywhere, even if Imeo stops making new devices I can get batteries (and wick, and wire...).

As I've said a few times before, IMO regulated is all that matters, a stead 3.6v is perfect as I can change the resistance on my atties to match what output I want. I'm ok with having a spare battery or two, I already do that now as I can't vape a battery dead because I hate the weak hits.

P.S. I'm not a fan of bottom buttons, not a deal breaker but really don't like them.

So basically, what I want is a 14500 tube mod with regulated voltage (3.6v is good) and preferably a side button. Anything else is nice to have but not needed. I can control air by wrapping my finger around the connection between the tank and the mod, so even that's not a requirement for me.

Ive been vaping for two years and I only vape with GGs. I loved the idea of Proteus because Imeo said it would regulate voltage which I would love. I understand that the electronics were not doable. I will love whatever Imeo comes up with but dont assume every vapor has the ability or knowledge to make coils perform as they want to. I dont have a meter so its hit or miss for me. Sometimes my coil turns out ok but many times not. I only use a single battery at 3.7 volts and I am envious of all the videos I see where peeps are getting clouds of vapor (free ad for Bruce :laugh:) while my batteries dont last long and I get little vapor. I know its me not my ody or penny but its still an issue. I dont know if a vv mod for penelope would solve my issues but if it does I vote for that. :)

I don't have a meter either, but my coils are pretty consistent (I use dual coils). I just found what length works for me, and make it basically the same each time. It's not 100% the same, but always in the range of what I like... and I don't measure either, I use my thumb as a measuring device :p

Hey there Fanky, :D Great Plug for Bruce BTW LOL

Yeah I was in no way trying to say that everyone knows how to make coils exactly perfect every time, or even worth a crap half the time LOL I was really really trying to make that clear. Guess I missed the mark on that one. But I agree, I also think that a small enough VV Module should be able to be made to fit into the smaller device.

A regulated Mod means that you will have exactly, (plus or minus .1 or .2 volts of course), the same voltage every time. for me that says that the end user would HAVE to have the knowledge and consistency and ability to make that perfect coil every time. With a VV module or even a smaller version of the kick perhaps, it would be much easier for more people to get into the rebuildable atty's because they would be able to set the voltage or wattage to their taste :D

I really hope that all of our inputs help make this a reality because it will truly make a lot of people very very happy :D
