It isn't just Kanger either, but many of these places forget women DO build. I have been building almost as long as I have been vaping. Just because currently I don't most of the time doesn't mean I don't want nice or pretty rba's
I think it's a general thing. mods always come in "guy" colors, rdas are always blocky and kinda utilitarian, etc etc. You can tell everything is designed by men.

I mean, I love my little Invader Mini cuz I can beat it up, but a choice of black, blue or grey? How bout red? Or orange? Neons could be nice too. The only thing that makes it semi girlified is the derringer, purple drip tip and purple vape band.

It's kinda funny though. They could design one that looked like a shoe box and guys would buy it if it had the "latest and greatest". It's girls that tend to be picky about what we buy, but they don't design for us. They're losing out on millions in sales because they won't think about aesthetics.

I think we all caught the matchy matchy bug... at least it's a tolerable disease! :D

Speaking of the Invader, I owe you guys a pic.

Dash check!

Hooray for Saturday side jobs... :nah:

The bands all say "VAPEZ" on the opposite side (a semi local shop) and although you can't tell from the pic, the tip on the derringer is black matte acrylic on the bottom, black carbon fiber in the middle and purple matte acrylic on top.

ya know... acrylic nail polish is still acrylic.... paint the raised portions of that Invader to match your drip tip and/or tank or in complimentary colors, then a clear-coat and you have something that is durable and pretty.
Then again, I'm a guy so maybe what I think is pretty doesn't match with what you think is :lol:

Just because you're a guy doesn't mean you're an idiot! I had actually thought of that, but hesitated due to the squishy nature of the silicone coating. I was afraid it would chip off. It's kinda like spray painting plastic. Unless you have the right kind of paint it just flakes right off first time the plastic gives.

Some of us get no fall at all!!! Winter, don't get me started. I think we have "Spring" from Jan - Feb. if we're lucky. Where I'm from, layering means underwear, a shirt & a towel around your neck to soak up the sweat.

Sigh. Supposedly we have lovely beaches if you're into that sort of thing.

Good news is I only need one set of tires, no chains in my trunk & the lawn mower doesn't rust because you need it all year. [emoji41]

We don't have your weather, Buenos Aires is very much like SF, it snows once in 100 years (no joking), but sometimes winter can get really ugly with lots of raining.
Here it should be starting to get a little warmer but no, night temps are in the low 40/30 F, unusual for this time of year... The lawnmower doesn't rust here either, but since it rains so much we let it grow relatively tall...

I was ranting about that as soon as it was announced!

Just cuz I'm a girl and have teeny tiny hands doesn't mean I don't want the RBA section. It actually means I can build it easier! My fingers fit better!

Viva la purple Subox MINI!

:wub:
I don't know about you, but building on the mini RBA is a b*tch. I'd rather rebuild something else. I'd love that mod for on the go vaping, I keep the heavyweights at home since heads here are extremely expensive, so I rebuild like crazy.

I found it to be one of the easier to build, but I have heard the first rba deck for it was harder to get apart.

I actually haven't been able to play with one yet, but the idea of selling a mod that powerful with a tank that has the ability to rebuild but not in the size included is absolutely dumb.

I am trying to get away from pre built coils and haven't bought anything lately that doesn't include the ability to rebuild. Having both methods available is a plus, but tanks that will not allow any type of RBA head won't be coming home with me. I appreciate stock coils for their simplicity and ease, but building my own is cheaper, more customizable, and gubberment proof. :D

I just hate fiddling with a rebuildable when I'm out. Since it's not that often, I can afford to have disposable tanks. I've ammased quite a respectable quantity of rebuildable everything to last for a couple lifetimes. I sometimes want something to just pop and go.
Imagine what it would have been to rebuild in the cardiac ICU unit, although I did have a single room :)

No ICU here please! I hate doctors to start with!

But that's why I do like the tanks that offer both methods like the Subtank or TFV4. Rebuild the head when you want or just pop in a premade!

I checked their website, and since it is the mini+ tank instead of the nano, it looks like it will come with the rba section. Looks like the mini is only coming in the blue for now, and no pink or purple. :( It is a pretty blue, though. :)
A regular subox in blue? Wow. I guess Kanger got the hint that women do buy. They also have an all-in-one like the egrip coming out. The neebox? Strange names. I'm interested to see what happens though.
