Why wrap?

[Vicshalls]

Wish I could find a wrap I liked for mine. If not I might end up sending mine off to have a custom paint job done on it. I just want it personalized.

I'm half tempted to sharpie my sigelei with my initials or something.

I wish they made one that looked like my hand.

What's all the stuff about wraps? If your mod works why cover it in sticky backed plastic?

Just wondering.

Because the tube mods just roll off of Bread.

People paint their cars, trucks, bikes and houses and wear different outfits daily.. Why should Your Mod be any different

Some wraps make the mod easier to grip. I have an ostrich textured wrap on a polished tube mod, and it went from being a slippery pain to a pleasure. It also doesn't feel as cold in the winter weather. I wouldn't wrap my beaten up mods, as every nick and scar shows they are survivors!

My daughter and her boyfriend have identical setups. They also participate in a local Live Action Role Playing game. We got wraps for my daughter's equipment after the night she, her boyfriend, and another player were in a scene and got all 3 identical vaping setups confused - everybody grabbed the wrong unit at first, and they had to sort things out by checking out who had what flavor in their tank. We ordered wraps for my daughter the next day. No more confusion.

One of my older Spinners lost its grippy surface, so I took some old nail polish that I don't use and painted random diagonal hash marks all over it in black, copper and purple. I don't drop it anymore (and it looks cool). If I didn't have nail polish laying around, I would have used black electrical tape to provide grippiness. If I didn't have THAT, I would probably get a wrap. Maybe. Or use a rubber band.

That said, I think the Tardis wraps look cool on box mods. "Carbon Fiber" is nice too.

Happy Wednesday!

I wouldn't wrap chrome. But cheap brushed aluminum that has been painted thinly? Sure. There is aging, and there is ugly. I love the green of my mvp 20w, but the paint is starting to chip and its not going to look good forever. People wrap to preserve value for when they want to sell it. I use tempted glass on my phone, with a shockproof case cause well... I drop my phone a lot. Tempered glass is amazing btw, for anyone who doesn't know about it. Best screen protector ever. It is real glass and feels perfect, scratch proof, and goes on so much easier than film. No more steamy bathrooms and rubber gloves.

Thanks for the replies, folks. There are some good reasons there. I'll have to give it further thought.

Like taste in liquids, devices and toppers, it's also true with wraps --- it's subjective.

Grip, style, idividuality/expression, boredom, protection... to name a few reasons.

Like many others here I wrapped my (now sold) IPV Mini for protection and a better grip. I wrapped a tumbled raw aluminum Reo Grand for protection and grip. I wrapped my Sigelei 100 for looks and protection.
