If you like the size and weight of the iSticks, I think you would like the Cool Fire IVs as well. It's really nice to hold.
I LOVE the look of the Cool Fire4's! One day the purple one will be MINE!!:w00t::drool::hubba:
..and if the Reliant came in purple..omg..there would be wild eyed stampeding ...:rolleyes:

I have to wonder about the mod designers..:rolleyes:...I mean...they would make a KILLING if they just put a purple one in the line up!!
Here's a pretty good article I read last month that speaks to that. Basically, the industry is missing a vast market with the masculine branding of vape products. Women are more likely to take up vaping than men but aren't targeted in product design or advertising.

That's a great article....not to point any fingers, but it seems sooo many mods are made in black, silver and dark colors...more masculine. Women like to accessorize more, we like to match things. We worry as much about how it LOOKS, as well as how it works. I understand that creating mods in every single color can become very expensive, but I'd like to see more variety. When I started vaping, I wanted something sparkly and shiny and not so utilitarian looking. Sure, I've made tons of charms and custom painted a few...but whe you look online, and see a tiny eGo that's been blinged out for $250-300 ...that's nuts to me. And why do women pay that? Because they want it to look good, I think women look at their mod as an extension of themselves. And speaking for myself....the companies who show overly made up young models with inflated lips blowing a cloud as the first thing you see on their web page get no business from me. Maybe I'm just older and that doesn't appeal to me...lol...I just don't think companies need that to spotlight their products. I want products that keep me away from cigarettes, I can get lipgloss at CVS. That's one thing I admire about Apollo, their website lists a product, what it is, what it does. Period. Give me what I need, tell me how it works, and make it look good. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a purple fan (OK, maybe a little obsessive) about it...and that will draw me to certain products. My lovely red Reliant has just enough shine and shimmer to grab me...lol...and hold my attention. I was looking at another website to look up a mod a friend of mine was talking about. Guess what?? Great mod, but comes in black, dark grey, and dark blue. No reds, no pinks, no purples...just dark, darker and darkest. We NEED variety!!! We are women, isn't it our prerogative to change our mods like we change our minds (or our shoes)??? Rant over...lol...back to our regularly scheduled postings now....

More companies are catching on to this....and at least making coloured silicone covers for them in many colors....this is also why the wrap business is doing well...even men like variety. Sadly I just don't like wraps

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping

Wraps feel slippery to me, I'm starting to become a fan of the silicone sleeves. I can dress up a pretty basic mod with a matching sleeve and o-rings.

More and more are catching on. You'll notice all the latest mini's coming out and they usually include pink or, in the very least, colors. There's an entire market to be had in functional yet feminine, elegant vaping gear and some company is going to corner that market and make a killing. There are a lot of women out there that shy away from investigating what vaping is all about because of the image that's presented. These same women would likely embrace vaping otherwise.

I like the feel of the silicone sleeves too. I put the one that came with my Evic on just so it wouldn't get all scratched up. It feels really good in my hand. But, it doesn't look worth a damn, lol. Covers up that gorgeous yellow color.

Thankfully, the generic ones I've ordered for mine are in colors I like, and have a slight texture. The original that came with my istick was way too slick!

It's fun to watch the evolution of the colors. I hate to give kudos to another company on this thread...but let me say I'm really impressed by a new mod that comes in black, white, pink and purple, and it's tiny! I think that's going to be a deciding factor for a lot of women deciding whether to vape or smoke.

Well, I have to admit that when I first started I was kind of appalled at the look of the box mods I saw. But undeterred I researched and researched and found that if I was going to continue to succeed in this I was going to have to go that route. Lucky for me the istick had just come out and were reputable, had the form (small and pink, lol) and function going for it. Now, I'm looking to bigger and better things and if I have to go masculine I will but would like something more girly if possible. Won't give up function for it though. That being said, many women won't even look at vaping with the look and image that's out there now. So, that's a lot of smokers that will never quit and a lot of money to be lost in the vaping industry.

When I first started, I said that I would never use some huge boxy thing and love the small cigalikes. Now look at me......all subohm tanks and box mods.

Oh, I could have written that!!! The only box mods I had looked at were ugly and heavy and HUGE! Once i found out there were new ones coming out that we're smaller, it helped!
