Awesome. Thank you so much Imeo for the update. Don't feel bad. You tend to be a perfectionist, which is good because all of your creations are amazing. Some things take more work to get them perfect. I am also afflicted with that curse. My wife and kids hate it.

Don't worry. Things will sort themselves out. I don't mind waiting a little longer. Just enjoy your vacation.

Thank goodness there's 3 to choose from, so it can be made.

The down-side is that; if only 3 manufactures can assemble the circuit up to Imeo's specifications means more delay and probably an increase in costs.

 

[RiverNut]

I would guess a very substantial increase in cost. But this is the nature of electronics...smaller is harder to manufacture, thus more expensive. Given the vast number of companies around the world manufacturing electronics, if there are only three able to produce Imeo's design, then obviously he is pushing the limits of current technologies. And would any one of those three companies even be willing to produce a product on such a small scale in the first place, let alone at a reasonable cost?
Dont want to be a debbie downer here but I wouldn't be surprised if Imeo had to rethink his design.

 

[Poppa D]

Its still better than 0 my friends. Imeo will make good, no worries. I have a Penelope that won't be used without her Proteus, since she was sold with her mate she'll be patient.
Good to hear that the parts are coming at last. Have a good vacation Imeo, no worries.

 

[the ob]

so if I understand correctly, there was a list for the proteus and there are 1200 people on that list.

there are 1500 being made.

is this information correct? will there be extras available for people not on the list?

or is there going to be a pre-order list now?

please excuse me if these are questions that have been answered.

yes, yes, yes, yes, and don't know, but probably not
Hope this helps

Cool. Thanks.

the ob - That is 1500 in the first run. Imeo also is looking to set up a new way of ordering the different items.

But 1200 are for people on a list right?

 

[c8h10n4o2x2]

the ob - I believe so, but I am not on it so I can not say for certain

I'm on it and can't say for certain as I don't know how the changes to ordering that Imeo plans to implement will affect if at all the "Official GG P&P Serial Request List" http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/279447-official-gg-p-p-serial-number-request-thread.html

A request list and not sure if this actually guarantees anything at this point especially since COV "dropped the ball" on the GGTS pre-order date.....guess we'll just need to continue to watch and keep current on all things GG as best we can.....

 

[pimpe]

This is actually a pretty big problem if only 3 company in the world can do it. They will probably not be interested in do an order of 2500. Even if they did it would cost an arm and a leg and wait in line to have it done. I hope i am wrong.
wtb imeo how are you building your prototype? by hand?

 

[clavit]

If the electronics turn out to be the main factor in the delays, would it be possible to release the Proteus with the manual switch, and then sell the electronic switch as an upgrade when it becomes available?

It would give the shiny-collectors something to use and look at while waiting for the electronics to get built.

 

[kwalka]

I think we should all be patient like we have learned to be when it comes to all things GG, and let Imeo do his business. We can trust in him to keep us informed like he always does. He is very good like that.

I agree

His news is not always positive but it is always honest. I'll trust imeo to keep me us up to date on his future products. Besides everything else, they are ALWAYS worth the wait.

On the GGTB....

 

[CyberDj]

This Penelope on her new mate, Siam!

 

[imeothanasis]

I dont want to sell proteus as a mechanical GG because I already sold Penelope without proteus, so selling proteus without its electronics would be bad. I dont want you to think like this for me.

Also I have some good news. We contacted to the company that can make this cirquit and they were very positive without having a problem about quantity. When I will have more news I will tell you.
As for the price, you know that I am trying hard to keep my word. But if cost is bigger than the selling price then I dont have many choices
