YouTube - Nui's New Leaford Lanyard designs


I promise everyone my blog and video channel won't turn into just a Vapor4Life vehicle; I'm going to set up some other venue for things like this, an official V4L Youtube channel maybe.

But for now, they're the only venue I have, and I really wanted to show off the new samples I just got from Nui for new additions to the Leaford Lanyard design, and hopefully get some feedback on them.

We've got a belt holster for a typical e-cig case, or a Vapor King PCC.

A Janty Stick lanyard that is pretty basic, but might work.

And two Leaford Lanyards with small but detailed and fully colored painted designs. Not what I have in mind for the Deluxe fully-painted editions I have in mind for christmas, but might make a nice Premium edition in-between.

Oh, and one of the Stick lanyards has a REALLY pretty example of what I'm trying to get for the Deluxe Fully-painted Leaford Lanyard models.

Very nice Leaford! Nui is very talented, I should be getting my lanyard tomorrow, can't wait!

Leaford, I absolutely love the original design. Just got mine today and am sporting it around in the apartment.

The new designs are pretty too - but I am digging the smoke design. Hopefully, you will not discontinue these? 8-o

Keep up the great work, I am so excited for you and the rest of the V4L team - it's a match made in heaven!

Thanks, Sylvia, but yes, I'm afraid ALL the Leaford Lanyard designs will be limited editions, at Nui's insistance. His exact words were, "I am an artist, not a machine!" So, he did a smoke pattern for this first order of basic LLs, and will create a different simple design for the next order of basics when we run out.

In addition to the basics, we're going to have smaller orders of more elaboratly painted Premium and Deluxe ones, like the ones pictured above. And we're trying to get the first few of those by the end of the month, for Christmas shopping.

Very nice! I like them!

I think they are all gorgeous. I do have a suggestion for the large belt holster for the pcc and box of carts. The flap that snaps on the front could be designed different. They way it is now it is likely to have the front corners of the flap get caught on things. If you designed this front flap to be more rounded on the edges like in a "U" shape, that would be awesome! Just a suggestion.

Great minds think alike, Parmacrafter. This is just a prototype, those are the kind of little touches that are part of the back and forth process. It's frustrating to do it by mail, though, because if I were only there, Nui and I could work it out in an afternoon in his studio, and then pop open a brew.

I really dig them!

I was thinking that velcro might be an option for th holster, rather than snaps.

You could also have s sleeve on one side to hold a VK for those who don't want to wear a lanyard. I think being able to whip your VK out of a holster would be pretty convenient, especially for the guys, with no purse or shirt pocket.

Any thoughts to either a magnet type closure (like a Blackberry holster) or velcro-type?
I'm just thinking that you'd have to actively push in the flap to engage the snap, which could put pressure on whatever was in the little front pocket...
[EDIT: Oops, too slow on the typing/reading--leeshor already asked!]

Good thought on the magnet closures, not sure though whether Nui would be able to find the supplies for that. Hand-made, remember? But I'll ask.
