I've got a VV Gripper on the way, should arrive any day now. I, too, like the short and light form factor. I do wish it was constructed with better materials, especially because its main use for me will be for out-and-about.
I wanted to get a second Provari, the Mini, but I couldn't justify those kind of funds at this time. If the V V Gripper can last me until April, I hope to award myself with the Mini as a 1 year anniversary gift to myself for quitting the cigs.
