I've watched the videos a few times and am confident it will be another great addition to the GG range. I wasn't affected by the whole pre-sale thing, and only ordered once from Cam so can't say I was a loyal customer or anything. Not that it makes it right, of course not. I'm willing to take a chance on it.

It will be Benny and you will love it I'm sure.

Myself, this is purely and only my personal opinion I must stress, I don't care for the manner in which the UK market as a whole, despite it's past loyalty to a brand, has been shafted.

Simple as that for me.

As I said in an earlier post it seems to be variations on a theme, now that mesh will be able to be used you might as well buy an out and out genny, and there is a lot of choice out there at the moment at prices to suit all.
If you want the ultimate vape a UFS V1 with a Boge carto on a ggts will do the trick
This is only my take on things having used lots of gg stuff over the last couple of years
I hope the itheka delivers for you all

Some of the parts are interchangeable with the Ody from what I've read, so I don't blame the Ody owners. The only thing which I a bit unsure of is the diameter. I think it's going to look a bit odd on anything other than the GGTS. I think it is 23mm, but don't quote me.

I'll be sure to post my thoughts like I did with the Foggatti (which, imo is a great atty) if I manage to raise the funds. Foggatti is a defo keeper for me. I picked up a Hellfire Mega too, and can't see that going anywhere either. I did sell the Spheroid though. It just wasn't getting the use it deserves. Penelope is safe too lol. I'm on the verge of being satisfied with my set up

Ha ha, yeah, it's quite a statement lol. I still like trying stuff out, but I've got my staple devices now. I don't think anything could top the Caravela for me at this exact moment in time lol. The provari is solid and reliable. I may possibly consider another go at a GGTS but I would have to get it brushed before laying my hands on it. I still have flash backs of the senseless cleaning and polishing of it....even though I didn't even have it for a week

Nope, I'm steadfast on this one. Ody performs perfectly for me, Itheka will provide nothing I haven't already got, in abundance with a whole array of gear here.
I will still be sitting on the edge of my seat when the reviews come flooding in because if it does turn out to be great then I'll want one.
I did the same with the fogattie, and as good as that mod seems to be I don't regret not having one because - well- I've tried a vast array of genesis atties including hellfires and lines and the humble old DiD still performs just as well and with an equal build quality.
That Chinese ody clone seems to be just as good as an ody so I'll have no problem sourcing one of them when they become readily available instead of the GG ody
Monday night will see me tucked up in bed cos the car goes in for its service early tuesday morning

In stock Monday, Shipping Tuesday

Cheers bacon, I nailed one just after I posted

To the doubters and wonderers, Imeo makes superb products to a very high spec. A lot of what you see from other mod makers came first from Imeos imagination and creative genius. If people like him never designed and made their products then the Chinese would have nothing to copy and it's as simple as that.
With atties like the odysseus against something like a vivi nova, they are essentially the same set up as in a coil wrapped around a wick inside a tube but the difference in flavour is like night and day. Despite my feelings towards the business ethics we have witnessed I cannot deny the quality of the product and design. Itheka will more than likely be a another such masterpiece of design and the people that get them will be more than satisfied with their purchase, people have their own reasons for purchasing - Gordy craves airflow control and I have to agree 100% with him on that because that ability to make the draw exactly right for you can make such a difference to your vaping satisfication but for me, I can get odysseus working with a perfect draw on all the mods I have here so I don't really need it. Steve is happy with his ody but doesn't want to miss out if Itheka outperforms it so he's struggling to justify but he'll get one non the less.
Perpy can't really see that there will be much of a difference to the ody she loves and would need a very big improvement before she graces Imeo with any more of her cash or gets involved in another gg pre-order. Me? I'm going to sit on the fence for the V1 itheka and if it turns out to be great then I'll go for the V2 because I'm in absolutely no rush to purchase any more atties when the ones I have more than satisfy me - unless it becomes apparent that the difference between itheka and ody is akin to ody and a vivi nova.

And as for why we spend so much on these high end mods- I've had my odysseus's for many months now and they still perform as good as the day I got them, no part on them has worn out, a totally dependable unit, none of the chinese atties have lasted nearly as well - my penelope's are still like new and these mods get used every day. I will continue to buy more high end devices because in this hobby of mine I appreciate quality and I appreciate aesthetics and I appreciate these designers that create because without their innovations we would all still be suffering the ciggie lookalikes and praying that someone comes up with something better.

In saying all that though. I'm a firm believer in - if something works for you and you're happy with it, if you're not craving more from your devices then you have no need to spend the money on anything else, people like you can sit back and wonder what all us muppets are doing spending vast amounts of cash on intricate lumps of stainless steal and I say good blooming luck to you - I envy you.

But personally. I - and many others like me do crave more

^^^^ bloomin 'ell Blakey fab post mate ...and all that typing without a single dig at Jason... it must be christmas

[greendollar]

Oneday I'll splash out on a high end mod to see if there really is a difference but at the moment all I can see is people paying through the nose for the same cheap pair of trainers but with a Nike badge slapped on them .
Atomisers aren't some sort of high tech , innovative piece of kit , they're pretty basic & simple in design , all function in the same way with slight differences , they're are plenty say the cheap clones produce the same results as the originals and there's no reason they shouldn't .........do I really want to spend £££ for something worth £ , not really but curiosity will probably get the better of me .

[Gordy]

the thing is no one is making anyone buy anything they dont want to ...no one is encouraging anyone to buy anything they dont want to ...so why are we having all these negative posts?

Im happy to buy Nikes, Im happy to buy BMW's and Im happy to buy the vaping equipment i want to buy

are people trying to justify to themselves why they shouldn't buy these things?

i love vaping and i love my toys and im sorry but it just gets annoying when people try to dampen others enthusiasm

it is the enthusiasm, the intrigue, the wonder that keeps me going withe vaping, it is also fascinating as we're are the start of something, we are in the making of something historic. It's even better that more manufactures are making better products and bringing them to the masses, and even better that people are producing products in workshops on lathes to such a high level of crafting. They need to be purchased, we need it, they need us to need it and want it.

But Gordy..........BMW's ?

[Gordy]

LOL sorry Tim, i dont own one anymore if that makes it better

there is a market for everyone and thats fantastic in my book... lets just enjoy what makes us happy
