I like my egrip but save it for stealth situations. The next thing I want for it is liquid that's invisible on the exhale. I know it can be done, I've seen it. I don't feel the need for a screen but a review would be interesting.
Bought my first model from Cignet, no problems. But this is the first site I saw that claimed to have stock, and that price is crazy low, not sure how they can do it. I have not had one in hand, but all visual indications are its the same size, just added the screen for info, wish it had buttons instead of the same dial, but it is nice to see ohms, battery life, and selected wattage. I'll order another rba, but want to be positive all the older parts still fit, and I assume a silicone sleeve will come out as well, just with a cutout for the OLED screen.
Just waded into the lake to straighten up a dock. Guess what was in my pocket. It would turn on by itself but would stop when I turned the dial. Emptied it , took off bottom and blew it out with compressed air. Filled
it back up and works perfect. I think if the charging port had a silicone plug. This thing would be waterproof.

Got my OLED today fro Yetivape as they promised, good delivery service and low price. My small review reflects what I said a few posts back, same as the original, they simple stuffed the info screen in. VV, 3 clicks and its VW. Small difference there is NO more markings on the dial, guess it's assumed you will be looking at the screen. As you turn dial slowly or can adjust in one watt or volt increments. If you move the dial quickly the settings will auto scroll, not very fast, which is good, as when you get to the number you want, to stop you turn the dial in the opposite direction. Though I have found it quicker to briefly press the fire button and it stops faster at your setting, if you overshoot, just turn the dial slowly back to your desired number. My unit had a very stiff dial, which I can get used to, and like my non-OLED older model, the click stops are very grainy, not all that smooth, though my last one the dial was not as stiff, that one had a little button rattle, never bothered me a bit, this one is stiff, NO rattle, maybe they tightened it up to avoid rattle complaints. I need two fingers to spin dial, not a big deal, two buttons or a button toggle would have been nice, but I assume they did not want to redesign all the hardware. Good news is it would be hard for the dial to turn accidentally, but of course you should turn the unit off if you carry it in your pocket, since the firing button could still be depressed. There does not seem to be any light under the dial anymore, since you have a screen now. The paper manual mentioned something about the button light, but you all know how these Chinese manuals are, though it's not as bad as most. I'm going to see if I can find an online version of the manual just to store on my phone for reference.
The other improvement I see over my older one is the 5 button click ON/OFF is much more responsive, seems to shut down and turn on clicking slow or fast, the old one I had to keep pressing, sometimes slow, then fast, I just never knew how that one would respond. Some of these little things I've noted, may just be this particular unit, not sure how consistent their manufacturing is.
I washed the inside carefully, filled with juice, using their supplied attie for now, until I swap my rba in later, and order a 2nd RBA. Vapes just like the previous model, but now you can see the most important info, ohm meter tells me the stock attie 1.5 attie is 1.6 ohms. The manual also describes the safety warnings you may see on the screen if there is a problem with the unit. I think this is important as with the old one you had to know what the blinking button codes meant, this is far better in that regard. Some may say the screen is just something else that can go wrong, I guess time will tell, but as I paid less then I did for the original model, I would recommend this new OLED model to my friends, over the old one. That's about everything I can think of, good luck, and VAPE ON!

I'm using it now, off to work. If something goes bad, I'll report it here, otherwise it's the same VAPE, just more information available to the user, just like my iTastes, iSticks, ect.
I just ordered an OLED version from Yetivapes. After more than 5 years of vaping the eGrip has become my favorite device. The OLED version holds promise that it will address most of the original version's shortcomings. The adjustment via a dial still seems a bit weird but the OLED readout should mitigate that a bit.
Also ordered a third rba from Cignot along with a black skin. Would have ordered all of it from Cignot but they didn't have the OLED eGrip yet.

I have yet to find a Joytech silicone skin with the cutout for the OLED screen. I like the skin on my old one. Odd I have not even seen this new model listed on any Joyetech websites I have come across.
I'll just use an exacto knife to cut an opening for the OLED. Shouldn't be a problem.
Have you figured out what the subohm solution actually means?
EDIT: Found it - If Atomizer Resistance is below 0.4ohm display will read Low Resistance.

I'm pretty excited to get the oled egrip, I just ordered one from yetivape. At the price they are offering I couldn't turn it down. I have never used an egrip, but I'm excited to play around with it. I might have to get another one if they have the same price point after I receive it.
Can anyone let me know their experience with thicker liquids in the egrip? I use a lot of velvet cloud vapor which is VG and distilled water, but I was thinking of only using a 50/50 VG/PG in it.

Got my OLED version yesterday. The electronics driving the display look identical to that of the istick. Aside from that the only difference I can see is that the charging state now appears on the display vs. the fire button blinking. Performance seems identical to the original version.
I use the new eGrip OLED with high VG with no problem at all. I am using the Aspire BVC coils right now, as I wait for my RBA. You will love it
