Well start off with the threads are awful and to think i paid for a premium pv, my button wont screw in right the caps graunch and are hard to thread.

The engravings also are ruff and need a finishing imo for the price i paid i feel VERY disappointed will be selling it when ive personally refinished this product.

Can you post a few pics? I'm curious about the button not screwing in properly. It's really unusual to have parts that don't fit so we might be able to help

I myself planned (and bought) using the old style 3 holes nickel over alum bottom cap and nope,it wouldnt screw (had 2,neither would) but I received the wrong cap previously from CoV (SS) and that one fitted like a glove...even a tad loose I`d say (keeps unscrewing itself)...so now it has SS at the bottom and nickel over alum on top (diff shades) and this sucks. (sure I could order another top cap for $30 but I started to draw the line)

And sure,my engravings are ruining my microfiber cloths too.

Still love it though.

engraving is very deep so its wild. This wild feeling will leave in about 10-15 days because you use it.
I also dont understand the word "awful" for threads. What do you mean eco? Can you please dont do anything to this GGTB and send it to me to make an online video about it when I will receive it? I will open it in front of the camera to check it

Ok well i sorted the threads out with a tap, they were tight and were binding on the button thread there is still bits of sharp thread at the bottom which are now in the tube and not blocking the button.

Im moaning yes because i pay for quality, and this gg falls way short, the engravings just need a proper buff which would remove all the extra metal, imo i payed to have this done for the price not do it myself. maybe mine is a one off who knows.

pics of engravings before and after and pics of the thread for the button where you can see the bad bits.

Since you can use a tap and a finishing wheel, why not use a file to remove sharp piece inside the tube. If you have fixed all your concerns whats the purpose of this thread, to make Imeo look bad?, Why not have just pmd him

Maybe because i paid top dolla for it and yes i can finish it but why should i ??? i paid for a premium pv not a hand made bodge yes im annoyed and when people post about this stuff maybe qc will improve?

Remember this is the best e cig in the world!!!

also edit to say the button would not even screw in fully the excess metal was pushed out the thread area. the pic is after i tapped it

Yes of course il send it to imeo when i got it to fit sorry, the point was i was annoyed and ive a right to be i paid good money for it and the forum is about sharing our experiences(this one me being annoyed)

I wont say anything bad about gg's again as i wont buy any again, my old ones are perfect, anything i bought new in the last month or so is poor quality fact. Threads are poor finish, engraving hasn't been finished properly.

I realise now saying about dissatisfaction and bad experiences about gg on a gg forum is not allowed.

Hoping quality control would improve? Imeo is only one person so checking every single part he sells would be impossible. You made the thread bashing him and he still offered to fix it, that's the best quality of them all imo.


Im sorry that is the most ......ed thing ive ever heard you are truly blinkered, if you bought a new bmw or a bently and it didnt work right or wasn't perfect from the get go would you be happy about having to return it and have it fixed???????

This is the last il say on it all if you are happy with poor quality control and are happy with that then good luck to you.

I`d rather ..... online too!

No need to point it out, we all know you do that about everything all day long.
Op. Have some class, if you would have. Ought a beamer and something would have been wrong, you would have been at the dealer trying to come to an agreement, not bash on a forum for no reason in wich BMW would have totally ignored you. All you winers are lucky Imeo has such a good Greek heart, if you would have continued with your attitude to put me on blast when I offered a fix, you would have had it. If you fixed it and polished it yourself, what's the point of this thread? I have received expensive parts from other vendors and I contact them about the problem and we come to an agreement. Then again everything I wrote was a waste of time since u are gonna come up with something stupid and completely disregard what I and everybody else said. If you would have posted in Amy other supplier forum and I would have read your rant. You would have gotteb the same respond. This is not a gg thing, its you acting out of line after vendor offered a fix.
