I saw the pictures and thought "meh" and I read the comments hating it and thought "geez, they're a little hysterical - it's just a graphic" and when I decided I want to send my two v1s in for refurb/upgrade, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a v2.5. I picked it up out of the mailbox tonight when I got home from work, swapped my battery from my v1 to the v2.5, and have vaped with it for the last couple of hours.
I'm liking the new design. It gives me a better grip - not that the old one was bad, I still like it. It just rests easier in my hand, somehow. And I got the blue LED, and I'm liking that a lot, too.
Good job, ProVari.
