That is just unfair and wrong. What everyone needs to know is that majority of people don't know what a GG is and they will buy it. This is the reason these copycats do these awful things as they know a lot of smokers will just stumble upon their sites and buy stuff of them. The only way newbies will know they have a fake is if they are passionate as we are and they do research on anything they buy.
Thats too much

They are no longer selling copies. They are selling Imeo and telling people their products are coming from Imeo? Otherwise, they could not or would not use his signature. Oh wow, that is so sick.......
I didnt know what a GG was back in 2010 - all I knew - it was shiny, elegant looking and I had to have one. I was dumber than dirt as a noob. All anyone would have to have done back then was show me something like that pic and I would have jumped on it. I jumped on alot of things back then and got burned alot because I was totally ignorant of e-cigs. I had read the forums for 3 months before I joined and I still didnt know anything. Just sayin.
Saw this clone in a german online shop too but without the GG Logo.
Thats in so many way´s wrong.
Kick there Asses Imeo!

I start vaping 5 months ago and finally now I'm the happy (and proud) owner of a GGTS + Ithaka. It wasn't easy to have it, but since beginning I realized its worth. I mean it's right for you to protect your work, but none who can appreciate beauty and perfection in any detail could buy a clone (even with original logo on it...)
There is a big difference between a copy and a forgery. A copy is sold as a copy; a forgery is sold as the real thing. This is a forgery.
Selling copies is questionable ethics. Selling forgeries posing as the real thing is a crime.

The owner of the site send me an e-mail telling me that he is sorry about what happened, he thinks its not fair for me and he already stopped sales. He told me that he didnt know about the GG logo on those copies when he ordered them from China and now he will send them back.
But if he really cared before my announsment here, he wouldnt sell any unit in the first place. Anyway, I will stop the prossedure with lawyers office, no reason for that now.
I hope he will keep his word

Still selling but on the classifieds market..not here on ECF. I pulled this off a Malaysian site and everyone there knows it's a fake..
I have seen a few of them around. They are selling.. don't know where they are getting them but they are out there..
The Chinese are obviously still making them or they have sold them on the black market. No excuse Imeo.. take action and even if they are sorry you have to make an example out of them. Design copying is ok but the Logo? You have to draw a very strong line on that.
I also reckon you should bang out another 5,000 SSGGTS. Take the number up to 10,000 and then everyone of the serious vapors will have one or can get one. The Stealth and SS GGTS is without a doubt
the best mod ever made to date.

Skiba, I will wait until a customer informs me about this. If anyone buys something like that after today I will talk to my lawyers one for good. I will not go back again.
Nothing can be hidden from the market.

U know what I smell? U know this smells worse than my daily deposit of Sht I do in the bathroom. I don't think there is enough Bleach and ammonia to clean this mess up.
Imeo, you continue to stun us, many others will hang that seller by his balls. Yet you choose a path of mercy I hope that he stops selling. If he should fail I'm sure you will do all in your power for retribution.

I still have a hard time wrapping my brain around why anybody would buy one, especially co-opers who OBVIOUSLY know what a GGTS is. $30, $50, $70 whatever, look at me! I can get ripped off while looking like a cheapskate at the same time!
All I know is up to now when ever these knock off go on sale on any classifieds .. people are virtually giving them away. The Ody clones have all but vanished and the GG Ody's still sell for retail.. Thats the best thing about GG.. to really make an exact copy right down to the finest detail then you can only make a small tiny profit.
It's the logo thing that has rattled my feathers.. thats just low. And they know they have pushed the boundaries with doing that. Thats just wrong on so many levels.

Most of the buyers of those copies know what they are buying but they dont know what they are really doing because they will have all kind of problems soon and they will stay without support and with an e-cig with zero resale value. But I am mostly thinking of people that will buy these things second hand, thinking that they buy a real GG in low price and then they will feel totally silly.
My suggestion is to not buy second hand GG any more. You never know what you will receive. Someone told me that some people laser their copies and sell them as unique.

Yes Imeo I seen a china GGTS bad copy that someone had the GG Wings logo lasered on it. I don't understand why? to try to fool people ?
The engravings like = "The GG" , "To My Friend" , "by Imeo" , the Wings logo and serial numbers , need to be protected by copy write, patent number , registered ( Trade Mark ), so people can't be tricked. So products with GG laser engravings are true Golden Greek products by Imeo Thanasis.....
we the people (gg family members) need to help. and how we do this is expose these scum bags that are making these copies and selling them as genuine GG. we need to make their live a living hell, and for those who bought them second hand but sorry its your loss, its up to you not to resell them and let it be others peoples loss. you should know what your buying and they look close but you can tell by the pics they are not genuine. control rings is wrong. brass looks plated way to shiny, and button is wrong. so lets start a new post of names of websites selling this crap, individuals selling them second hand, ect. make it be known to all shady sellers we now know and most will not support your wrong doings.
