ss GGTB worst gg ive owned

[FunkyVapes]

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.

Eco given Imeo's reputation in regard to customer service don't you think that a PM to Imeo or even to the supplier you purchased this from would perhaps be more appropriate.

will be selling it when ive personally refinished this product.

Assuming what you claim is all true, which by the way is not evident by the pictures you posted, why are you fixing it yourself and selling it? After your negative post don't you think Imeo has a right to verify your claims? The fact that you are "fixing it yourself and selling it" shows you want to disassociate yourself with this product without giving the manufacturer a chance to examine what the problem is. If your claims are correct then this TB tube must be returned to Imeo so he can look into the problem and ensure it does not happen again.
Your original post is nothing more than a rant and a attempt to vitriol a man who has shown incredible dedication and loyalty to his customers.
Unfortunately for you Imeo has many loyal followers here who respect him for his dedication to us.

Edit:
I'll post all the parts that I purchased from Bruce at COV and made my GGTB. Everything came together like a glove and finish is outstanding. The deeper engravings were done by Imeo AFTER OUR REQUEST

The manufacturer of luxury cars from the UK company Bentley announced officially that recall three models of cars of domestic manufacture. We are talking about models Azure, Arnage and Brooklands. Under the review fall into cars that were issued during the period 2007-2009. The reason for revocation is in the logo of the company, which is mounted on the hood of cars and a large letter B.


Review Bentley

For security purposes, in the event of an accident above the emblem with a special mechanism is hidden in a niche, so as not to hurt someone in the time of the accident. Also logo will disappear from the bonnet if it is someone will try to tear. And in the recalled vehicles due to corrosion of the metal has stopped working. Now Bentley models to respond to the elimination of this problem.

A total falsity of a review is horrible 565 cars Bentley Azure, Arnage and Brooklands. Service Center will make the procedure for removing the defect free of charge.

The last time a review was carried out by Bentley last year. At the time, was discovered a problem with the straps and locks in the back row of seats. Regardless of some manufacturing defects Bentley brand is still the most stolen car brand.

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.

eco, there are some things that you have to know

1. engravings cant be made in another way when they are deep. I told you what will happen with engraving after some days of use but you dont hear me. You cant polish the tube after the engraving, it will make logo less deep. Thats how laser works, thats why it makes a black colour on steel , something you cant do with other method. Leaser burns the steel and burning makes engravings look sharp. They will leave very very soon.

I cant see something wrong in threads exept the inside threads of the hole where button goes. Its a piece of metal that came out after making threads. I didnt see what happened inside tube because this quality control isnt made by anyone, even a factory. I dont think that anyone cares about a small piece of metal inside a tube that also noone can see. Of course if you buy something and you check it from every angle you will see small imperfections. You had to know that because you have bought namy products in your life (from a torch to a car). So check your car to see how bad is made inside it in many points.
Of course the metal on threads is not a real problem because this piece of metal can be removed very easy. its not a part of the metal, its a small piece that was there after the machining.

So all these minor "problems" made you deside about GG products? Thats a little strange behavior if you agree


ps.... if you think that the product is defective (its not), you can ask me first than making so big noise about something that isnt a real problem for sure.

I for one feel comforted by this thread. There are very few manufacturers who will even respond to PMs regarding their orders or product let alone offer inspection and replacement of the item. I've purchased (and subsequently sold) mods from manufacturers who actually posted that they do not respond to PMs because they are too busy.

Thanks, Imeo, for reminding me why I purchased the GG line.

GG "THE BEST MOD IN THE WORLD "




That's all I have to say about that

Fortunately we don't get many threads such as this on the GG forum. And there's more reason for that than most people having some sense of how to handle an issue properly. It doesn't take more than an hour or two on this forum to see and know that Imeo stands behind everything he makes 100%.

Esco knows this but he also opted to edit his truly helpful posts in other threads due to him not wanting to "educate the masses" a few weeks back. It certainly is his right to make himself a legend in his own mind but it is irritating I agree. AS always, Imeo was ready to assist but esco chose to correct his perceived issues himself. The only reason I say "perceived" is that I can no longer claim title to the worst photographer on the GG forum after his postings! No fair esco!

Please for future reference guys and gals, if you have a problem, please contact Imeo by PM. If you choose to make a thread on it, please document it with images that are visible enough to show what you are talking about. Esco's photos only show what is clearly a GGTB that goes from dark laser etched engraving to washed out etched laser engraving. Imeo can do many things but he isn't a magician.

And he will correct anything wrong if you send it back to him or any of his resellers. I have no idea if esco contacted Cam on this but if I were going to contact anyone besides Imeo, it would be my reseller. As to the cost of returns, I am not sure what Imeo is supposed to do about that. He doesn't exactly own nor operate any of the shipping or mail services so he has no control over the costs of moving them about the globe.

Oh and @Martinc! The majority of Canadian GG users were very happy to have Bruce at CoV take on the GG family north of the US. Just like Imeo, Bruce doesn't control the cost of shipping. I will have to say though that those prices are crazy high for you guys. I sent Imeo a package last month insured and registered for $15 USD, Florida to Greece. Someone owes me five bucks (USD, not CDN) too! There was a small wager as to how long it would be before you couldn't resist and had to get in on a whining thread and I won!

 

[Para]

Question for the OP about what's in store for the future. You've put yourself down for a P&P and wonder what your expectations are for it. Will the laser engravings be highly offensive? If the threads aren't polished to a mirror sheen, will that be a problem?

But, to help solve your immediate problem.....I'll buy the tube and pay shipping. You don't lose a dime and you won't have to look at it. Just PM me the cost and I'll send the $$$

 

[cardboardcutout]

Well i work for myself and would say that i cant please everyone all the time as sometimes their will be someone who is never satisfied no matter wat,
if a customer tampered with my work i would wash my hands from them as any guarantee is now void,
all gg products are hand made so some will have differences no matter how small and i suppose that's the character of hand made products but as you seem to have fixed wat problems you seem to have had,why come on the forum and try to bad mouth Imeo's work,at the same time one complaint is not bad compared to the thousands of happy one's.

 

[martinc]

Yeah,crazy shipping prices,most of my ".....ing' is according to that,as much as anyone wants to please us up here with exchange,unless they offer to reimburse the shipping cost,is not worth it since most of my parts that were not to my taste were less expensive than what it would cost me to ship them.

Sad.

Now you guys understand why and maybe can be a bit less judgemental

 

[CaptSteve]

martin you said among other things:

For a $80 item



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

My personal opinion is that ".....ing" as you put it is in principle wrong, hence the derogatory name attributed to the action of doing so. Don't you agree that if you for any reason receive a below standard product it would be replaced from Imeo or Bruce? Has either Imeo or Bruce ever shown you anything to the contrary?
In light of the above why then would you justify ".....ing" as appropriate?

On the subject of shipping. As far as I know no manufacturer reimburses shipping charges. That is the price you pay for online shopping as opposed to walking into a store for a purchase.

I stated in my first post i will have to refinish the ggtb i didnt ask for imeo to do anything,

These are not hand made either they are cnc machine made and the recent stuff is not a patch on the old.

As for all the fanboys jumping on the bandwagon to give me flack, face bothered lol. You can all carry on blinkered thats cool im keeping one gg a old one the rest will be sold and il move on.If you bought a brand new bently and the door would not close id be pretty annoyed would you not?
