After some extensive research annd a bunch of help from some great people here on this site, I have decided to purchase some Volt starter kits for myself and my 20 year old daughter,,,,,,,she's too young to smoke forever. She seems to enjoy the E-cigs we have NOW, but I'd really like to make the experience fun for her,,,,,,yep, Mom's trying to get the kid off analogs sooner than I ever did

,,,,sooooooooo I've thought that I might purchase some of the diamond tips and the "skins" or "wraps" for the ecigs.What I'd like to know (if anyone knows) is do the diamond tips look good, or do they look cheap and plasticky??? And the skins? do they stick well or fall off? They seem like the type of things a young lady her age might enjoy,,,,,,,,,,,,but if they look like crap, I don't want to waste the money,,,,,,,,,they're cheap though, so if it's probably worth a small risk,,,,,,,,any thoughts? THANKS in advance for your opinions!!!!!!

The wraps DO stay on very well. I have to be really careful when I put them on to line them up good tho lol I usually have to straighten it out a few times before I get it right, I never get them absolutely perfect but if it's almost perfect I am happy lol. I have not had any problems with them peeling off but they do come off fairly easily when I purposely peel them off to put a different style on lol. I was surprised to find they don't leave any sticky residue behind and can be easily removed if you want to put a new skin on. The diamond tips don't look like diamonds lol, but I like them, and I like them MUCH better than the plain old ash caps. It's a little added bling and the led is brighter with those on.

I have learned from experience now how to line up the battery and carto wraps. Get the starting point of the paper matched with the already screwed on carto to get them looking just right (battery and carto wrap together). The little SI icon should be vertical not horizontal. I really love the pink and silver glitter wraps, they really sparkle up the batteries!!

Awesome to hear you are purchasing for yourself AND your daughter. My wife and I are just starting this adventure and I'm hoping it will be permanent.

I can't comment on the wraps and ends. I think they look nice and since I believe they are the ones from Smokeless Image, they are probably quality. The customer service so far has been just staggering. I'd shoot them a message from their website and just be honest about your concerns.

Though you didn't ask about this specifically, I'd like to make one small suggestion. I ordered the kit and it came with one pack of cartos. I ordered some extra cartos, some blanks and juice a day or two after ordering the kits. I'm looking at the mailbox hoping the extras come in soon. Here's why: I'm enjoying the vaping SO much more than smoking and don't want to be without. I can't imagine going back to an analog right now and don't want to be tempted. My wife is still smoking analogs while waiting for juice (she didn't like the Cowboy cartos that came with the kit) and her auto battery. I was mowing the lawn this morning, in the front yard, and I could smell her smoking an analog on the deck in the backyard. The smell was horrible.

Hopefully someone who has purchased the wraps and tips can reply and even maybe post pics to help you out. Good luck to you and the young lady. I think it is great you are embarking on this together!

I agree 100% I now hate the smell of analogs!!!! I'd never say that and hurt someone's feelings, only because I was a smoker for so long and I know it really does nothing when you tell a smoker things like that,,,,,,,but its awful! and you're right Smokeless Image has quality products,,,,,,,I shouldn't have worried :)
