I miss both of mine. I am stuck without both my mini's. Took the supermini out today shopping, I can't believe how hard it its for how small it is.

Because I did not have my polished aluminum clear coated, I am going to have to send it back to get re-polished & clear coated. But my blue-purple flip flop looks as good as the day I got it. Both are SM. I have a granny smith GLV2 on the way. I have learned that the clear coat makes a difference.
Hmmm... I've been tempted to get mine redone already... 
There are a few spots where there must have been a little dust or something (no idea what I'm talking about) on it when it was coated, because there are a few shiny silver spots in my matte black finish... One really obvious one right below my button, drives me nuts... The area around my atty connection is a little light, and one of the air channels didn't get coated inside... Then I went and made the area around my connection worse by screwing on an eGo adapter! I would avoid using those adapters, when you screw the cone down it will scrape the paint around the brass...
The paint job was not exactly perfect, but I figure Jay painted the top portion as a favor, so I would let it slide... The device works so well, and I did get it to vape, not just to look at... I'm pretty critical, but don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with my SM. If I could do it all over again though, I would be tempted to do a flashier color and clear coat it, even though I prefer a matte finish.
I don't know, could I live without my SM for 2 weeks?
Hey Jay, if you're reading this, I would suggest updating the photo gallery! There are a lot of sexy GLVs posted here that would show off your work better than what you have up right now!

A little disappointed today. I got a call from Jay. He hasn't even done anything with my mini's and they were delivered on 9/12. Like I said disappointing.
Im sure he will get to them soon.We sent our stuff in at the worst time,LOL!He is trying to get out batch 2 of the GLV3s and he is moving the shop.I think we should have waited.
Oh noooooooooooooo ! I am in need to send mine in for a fix. My connection inside that touches the nipple of the battery has snapped off! I am also wanting to order another SM so that when one breaks I always have the backup! Luckily I have a Provari for my backup but, I really miss using my SM right now! Lesson learned the hard way - I need to own two of these for these kind of emergencies!!!!
I just called and left a message with him... I hope I get a call back.. I will take what ever he has on stock to get one in my hand ASAP while my original SM is getting fixed!
EDIT:
For those that have sent theirs back in for minor repairs what is the address we send to?

Okay, I sent my first GLV2 SM to Jay today. It was polished aluminum & I did not get it clear coated. Something about gripping it in my hand for 18 hours a day made it turn grayish. so, off for a fresh re-powdering and this time a clear coat. My granny smith GLV2 mini is happy to pick up the slack!
My GLV2 SM came back to me yesterday all new & pretty looking. I will have to say that of all my GLVs, this little polished aluminum is my favorite--maybe because it was my first!!
