First of all, let me say that I have had my eGrip since getting it at a local Vape Meet around October 15- the first day that that Mountain Oak Vapers (one of the sponsor of of the Smoky Mountain Vapor's event) got them in- got it at a great price of $60 and have been using it as my everyday go-to, on-the-run vape! Glad to see that
Technonut is here- we go way back, 4 years on the Reo subforum!! How you doing, man?
Man oh man- The eGrip has been flawless and brainless and works perfectly every time although the flavor is slightly muted compared to my Reo mods that I've been used to. ! I use mine mostly for my go-to when I'm at work where I have to stealth vape. Otherwise, I've been a Reo guy for almost 4 years. That said, the RBA for this thing is going to be a game changer- I can't wait!
The other things that Joyetech is putting out for the eGrip are the silicone covers (blue, seafoam green, black and pink) and the adapter (appears it will be sold separately) to test the coils you build and hopefully can be used to dry burn the coils.
Joyetech eGrip I would say that those that drop their mods might want to invest in one of these (apparently silicone?) covers, but I'm not too fond of the color choices.
I grew up in Japan so am fluent in Japanese and so did a bit of searching and although I know that the number of vapers in Japan have been increasing, I was surprised to find some items that are for their market only related to the eGrip. I really like this collaboration between Joyetech and Tochigi Leather (huge supplier to italian fine leather industry leaders) and I wanted one.
syumicolle | Rakuten Global Market: Leather case only eGrip Joyetech certified electronic cigarette [domestic made in Japan / / Tochigi leather Luxury Leather / leather / leather /] I have bought from Rakuten before (you have to go through a 3rd party shipper- I use Tenso) and am all set up but didn't want to pay $30 for shipping so I was on the fence and was waffling. I posted over on FB to gain some interest in someone going in with me to order 3 or 4 of these cases, but had no takers. So last night in conversing with my wife and showing her the pictures (she also has an eGrip- wrapped in bright red from Vaperskinz with a bright red anodized drip tip), she told me to go ahead and order the black, dark brown and brown covers. We'll use two of them I know and probably give one away. She wants the black one with red thread- I'm sort of leaning towards the dark brown... Btw, I like the way that these have a grommet for attaching a lanyard or some type of clip, etc.
Just wanted to make others aware that the eGrip is awesome and there are more related products in store for us. This product from Tochigi Leather is just one of the examples (not available in the U.S. as of now- don't know if they ever will be- although I've contacted Joyetech, urging them to bring them over from Japan to the U.S., but have not heard from them).
