Merchandize Idea

[Briar]

OK, Chris and Dan, please don't kill me - I know you are quite busy as it is, but I had this thought...

There are all kinds of artisans selling all kinds of one-of-a-kind stuff for vaping - I mean accessories, not primary equipment. And, mostly, these folks can't keep up with the demand.

This is the kind of things I mean:

Like a nice leather sheath for eGos - plain, or with beautiful cutouts, with a leather lanyard attached. Or more "girly" sheaths with beads.

Holders and boxes of some kind.

Or, here is a thought: I don't know if custom tanks are a good idea, since they'd compete with what you already have, but how about custom wraps for tanks? I don't mean el-cheapo cheesy paper ones, but, say, made out of light aluminum that snaps on? with designs and nice shaped cutouts to see the liquid?

That sort of thing. I bet you can find local artisans where you live easily enough - most folks who make that sort of stuff are hungry for work. If you like someone, you could do a permanent arrangement, and it would be good both for GV, and for the person making stuff?

Just a thought... I like pretty stuff.

briar ill be free this weekend then we can have a private chat, loving the ideas greatly
, not sure if you remembered but i started doing something like this when we first started when a great friend made usa made leather totes for all pv sizes, but they where pricey and months later china came out with cheaper leather totes for 3 bucks versus the 25 we would need to charge.

but we shall discuss this further, thank you

I LOVE this idea !! I was thinkin just yesterday about doing something like that for my Vivi. I like to see how much juice is left and haven't ordered any of the metal tank parts 'because' of that.

I found the totes that you sold after they were all sold out. I loved the dog bone one I would love if you guys sold something like that again. I like one stop shopping

Personally, I'd be happy with girl shirts instead of the ubiquitous box shirt. Those kind fit me funny since I have mammary glands. (well they won't let me use the word I wish to use).

You are "figured" .... that's a good way of putting it.....or shapely.....got curves

I agree....I do love the boxy shirts for lounging and maybe sleeping, but prefer a curvier shirt to go anywhere in.

"Figured" is very, very good. Me too. In fact, I'm *full* figured. Very full. LOL

You know what I'd like? V-neck t-shirts. Those are ever so much nicer on us curvy ladies. With a crew neck I always feel like I have a football field on my chest. Not flattering.

 

[kelleymcm]

Not to mention with V-Necks we have somewhere to store our PV's ............ooops I mentioned it

 

[YoMa!]

I would go for a women's v-neck.

I love this idea! I got a lanyard from GV, but it was basically just for the ring. I used the strap for a while but I didn't care for just a plain black one. I eventually took it all off of the ring and strung a thin chain of my own through it that's MUCH shorter, by the way. It's not a fancy chain, just one of those ball chains that you see on ceiling fans I don't know if I'd personally get much use out of a tote. What's the benefit of one of those? Sorry if I'm showing my stupid

The wrapper idea is great, as well. I have a black eGo cone and a short silver sleeve to keep my Phoenix xl's on my lanyard, but I only have one black battery and one silver one. I like the cone, but I'd like to decorate it depending on my mood and my battery. I have my first pink battery coming tomorrow!! It's not gonna match anything I was thinking about getting some of that fancy duct tape you guys showed me Printed Duck Tape® - Tie Dye, Zebra, Camo, Flames and More to make some alterations of my own.

T-shirts, yes! Girl's cut please! Ladies vape, too, and we're just shaped differently. Larger in the chest, generally slimmer in the waist and I like the loose necks and v-necks. A ribbed tank would also be awesome! One should rip off the 'Got Milk?' ads. That would be pro. Makes me wanna go play in Photoshop, but I might never find my way out!

I could use a GV sticker to slap over the label on the cigar box I carry my stuff in.

 

[kelleymcm]

or the car bumper ....

Neat idea Briar. Now you've got me thinking. I teach cardmaking and scrap booking classes and we have a lot of different types of materials to work with besides just card stock. I don't have any right now, but off the top of my head, I'm thinking jewel toned thin metal sheets, run it through an embossing folder, then use small punches to punch hearts, circles, leaves etc, I even have one mickey mouse punch that's small enough, so you can see the liquid in the tank. Dang, now I wish I had some metal sheets and a tank to play with. lol

 

[Briar]

Can't lose this thread either - lest Dan and Chris forget that we like pretty stuff!

Here is another idea: interesting cones - especially those inverted ones for tanks. Picture this: an inverted cone that looks like a dragon claw holding up a tank!

 

[daisyd]

Yes! I like the sleeves. I want one for my fluxos! A sturdy one would be nice, and pretty. Can't forget pretty.

 

[luvinit]

Great ideas Briar,,, and everyone else! It would be nice to be able to make our pv's a little more girlie.. and I second the t-shirt idea.. I won't buy a boxy Tshirt cuz I just don't wear them.. a nice v-neck girlie shirt would be fabulous!

 

[kellie]

I agree v neck girlie "Got Vapes?" shirt.

 

[CountSmackula]

Guys like V-neck shirts because they hate feeling strangled by the stoopid collar.
Not in a "girlie cut", just a regular "box" style body, thank you.

p.s. Stickers are good too!
