Howdy and welcome

If you get bored with any of the colors you can remove the retaining bezel on the side and change the vinyl to anything you want. There’s a guy here who did some neat tooled leather ones.

The conclusion I’ve come to is if it takes you more a month to quit, coil cartridges are cheaper than pods. If it takes you more than a year to quit (which it seems to for most people) RTAs are cheaper than coil cartridges.

Thx for info and thx for the welcome everyone! I know i can change the bezels around but didnt think i could change the hand grip colour. I thought though that they are leather,not vinyl? Im using vapo skrr tanks atm. Gt mesh coils. Got a G/V aero tank with my latest aegis mod,its not bad. Will probably use a rta first when i decide to try building my own.

I actually don’t know if they’re leather or not. I’ve never bothered to take mine apart. My guess is if they’re leather they’re “bonded” leather which is actually a kind of filled vinyl and is actually lousier than regular vinyl even though they charge a lot more for it because they’re legally allowed to use the term leather. Vinyl filled with leather scrap dust is still vinyl imho though.

Yes i agree there as well. I know of bonded leather, some cars have this so called "leather" interiors.smells like .... when its new. Wears rather quickly as well. But anyway it looks good on my mods,got one of the L/E editions in aqua with blue hand grip,looks the goods and the alpha tank that came with it works well as well.

If you like it no reason to change it.

Thanks bud. The smokes were killing me more than just smoking them. We are paying about $35 US or $50 AUST a pack of 40s here thanks to a relentless tax,and they are only gunna get dearer, up12.5% per quarter (every 3 mths),. Was costing me about $300 a week.i was a heavy smoker. Had to do something for my health and back pocket.can honestly say that vaping is one of the best decisions ive ever made.ive got my brother and sister in law on to vaping and a couple mates too.now im saving that 300 every week! Ive spent a bit on my vaping since i stopped smoking but it pales into significance if was still smoking.when i get neg comments about vaping i usually just put it into this perspective - fireplace smoke is a cigarette, steam from a boiling kettle is vaping, what would you rather breathe?, normally settles the argument.
