Upgrading my GG stealth?

[Rick.45cal]

Its never ending, I agree guys. You are like me. I make something, then I want to adde something more, than I dont want to keep it as it is and I want a different look, then I make another improved cap to fit on it etc. Do you believe that before I finish a production line I have already thought the next thing? Not necessary about the same item but for a different one. Sometimes I have ready improvements on existing items that are still on my sellers hands.

Be sure that if I dont send my thoughts to a production line, I will keep improving GG series for the next 50 years, but the designs will stay in my mind only.

By all means keep sending those ideas to production, no sense in letting all that clog up your noodle Just looking out for you best interests Imeo

I think the catch 22 of being an artist is that even though every creation is like falling in love for the first time again its merely a stepping stone to the next creation. Each time striving for perfection, which (IMHO) is never attainable, due to the simple fact that our concept of what perfection is often changes with every creation. It's a wonderful vortex to be trapped in, don't get me wrong, but looking at it from a psychologist's view its probably an unhealthy obsessive/compulisive behavior, and at times borderline madness but hey I love it!

Imeo my friend any chance you can hook up my man Daniel here in Canada with a few spare parts and maybe that fuse upgrade? I would love to be able to buy from him. I will probably be grabbing one of his ggts next week when I get my pay. But I would also love to have a spare tube and top part so I can play with my stealth's battery configuration

Yes, it can sometimes be a never ending process but if it was, look at how much we all would have missed.

The AVS/AFS was great but Imeo's desire to make it even better brought us the UFS and soon the Oddysseus. The first GGTS was a great item as well but never being satisfied, compare it to a current GGTS.

It is this approach to the GG series that makes it a constant work in progress. I am sure that what is the best ideas that are in use today will be replaced by even better ideas tomorrow.

That is what makes the GG series what it is. Imeo is never satisfied to let an item exist that needs better ways to make it perform better. Sure it makes it almost impossible to keep up with all the products but I tell you, when I look around and see other PV's, I don't see this.

I see builders finding an item that will sell and making it by the thousands. That doesn't make them bad but were it not for Imeo's adventurous and ambitious ways, where would the future of PV's be?

There are many makers but very few pioneers. To become a mainstream industry, we need the Imeo's of the world. If we didn't have him as he is or if he was content to sit back and say I have accomplished all my goals, the whole PV world would suffer from it.

And the best part is, Imeo allows us to be a part of the process. Who knows how all this will be seen 50 years from now but like every other industry, there is always one or two main creative minds that drives the innovations. In the world of vaping, getting to be a part of this with Imeo is like getting to work with Thomas Edison or Henry Ford or Samuel Colt.

It is a priceless opportunity and I think we are all blessed to be here at this place and time.

 

[Rick.45cal]

Well said Major!

Imeo, Your the John Moses Browning of vaping!

 

[imeothanasis]

I hope to be buying them for the next 50 years as well

I hope we will all live until 100 and more years Torq. I think that I will be still here. ecf will go down first and then GG!

For anything you need, you have to contact with Dan and he will send his requests to me with his final order soda

 

[imeothanasis]

Major, those are very huge complimets and I can accept only some of them but comparing me to those guys you mention is almost crazy buddy xaxaxa

Ok, I will tell you some things about my uncle. My uncle is a very handsome guy that was never looking around for beautiful women. He has his family and his hobbies. His hobbies are poetry, writing, painting and inventing. He works as an electrician guy to the biggest factory in Greece that produce aluminium. He invent the best system in the world 20 years ago to messure every single time the quantity of alluminium inside the blend of aluminium. He made a very simple and very effective mathematical equalization that the university of Athens and the University of France never beat it with something easier or better. He tried to patent it but SIEMENS fooled him and they brought his invention to the market by their own. So my uncle never took any money from it. He has made many small or bigger inventions, around 30-35 as he has told me. Now he is trying to make a machine to fly but this machine will fly only using human power. No motors on it.

When I was young, I was curious about everything, especially on stars, earth, moon and machines. When I was going to his house we were talking for many hours about those things. Those were the best days in my life. The guy is a genious to me and he can make everything but he hasnt the time he needs for this. What he told me one day was that his dream was to put him in a laboratory and give him only food and water and he would be very happy. Maybe the happiest man in the world. I told him that I would like the same! lol

One day I show him GGTS. I told him that I was very proud that I made it. He told me that it was a very clever device but he asked me to never stop trying to making it better. I just follow his advice. Not because he just said so but because I always wanted to be like him but maybe I was always like him. Same blood, same passion maybe.

 

[ChaosAffect]

Beautiful story, Imeo. Really made me smile. Thank you for sharing that with us!

 

[sodapopinski]

Well i just got my hands on some tubes, will soon have my StealthTT

 

[ChaosAffect]

My Stealth yearns to be a StealthTT, but Bruce is out of the brass telescopes again...

 

[sodapopinski]

If you want ill have an extra steel tele tube I can hook you up with, to make it a StealthT, you would only need the top tube for a StealthTT. But then maybe you prefer looking for a brass tube? I wouldnt blame you

 

[ChaosAffect]

Yeah, it looks like my Stealth is gonna have to stay small for a couple of months until Imeo can make more brass telescopes... :-(

Need Help ~

I have a Stealth on its way. I would like to be able to use a 18500, but I'm not that fond of the telescope. I saw on Imeo's Stealth video at one point he put an extender?? on the Stealth and even put the brass coupler in the middle. Would that make it fit a 18500 and is this what he had?

GGTS Top Tube

 

[inquisitorj]

That top tube is 25mm long but an 18500 is only 15mm longer than an 18350. I don't think the spring will make up that big a difference. You may need a batt spacer or magnets to make that work.

 

[Wharf Rat]

Thanks for getting back soo quick.

What about taking the brass coupler off?

The bottom of the top tube & engraved tube are both female threads

 

[inquisitorj]

You must have either the the brass coupler or the Telescope. The threading in both the cap and the bottom engraved tube are female threads. Just so you know, if you use the top tube and the telescope with an 18500 batt you can tighten it down all the way so you cannot see the telescope at all but it should still work. The coupler adds at least 5 mm. Without this, the spring should be able to take up the rest of the slack. You can always add a single magnet on the positive pole to put more tension on the spring if you need to.

 

[Major]

Maybe use the telescope to connect the Stealth bottom to the extender, closerd all the way so that for length, the Stealth bottom would sit atop the extender. THat along with a standard GGTS bottom spring and taking the Stealth rethreader out of the mix should put you in the right ballpark.

 

[inquisitorj]

Great minds think alike Major.

 

[Major]

Oops sorry brother Inq! I am so slow a typist I didn't even se you had responded while I was still pecking away with two fingers!
