Not sure, been around since the prototype era though. They were probably playing around with naming at that point.
With the work they've done to these things, I would expect more colors and designs at some point.
From what I read, the G ( smaller screen ) was dropped, and the G+ became the G. Who knows lol
I prefer the carbon I have, personally. Although I normally prefer paint less gear for durability, I thought the carbon would hold up better to wear and tear over the leather. That said, I like the finish on the carbon metal bits. It looks nicely done, but only time will tell how durable it is.

they should use the leather from the therion, that one has been indestructible for me.
I like cf a lot but I won't buy the carbon one bc my coworkers one that he's had for about a week, and treated very carefully, a bunch of the grey paint has come off on the bottom already... that's very fast for paint to come off imo. plus I think regular, non-painted SS looks classy and I don't ever buy painted rta's.
When I saw the carbon fiber and leather models at the ECC show both my friend and I preferred the leather. One of the reasons is because of the bare metal on the leather versions, no paint to chip off.
I would really like it if they came out with an all stainless steel version, just not the spider man design. I hate it when paint starts chipping and for a $220 mod that is unacceptable.

I only buy stainless most of the time for the reasons stated. Sad news about the finish kiba 
So far I haven't seen an issue with mine in that regard, but it doesn't sound promising.
I got another reply from Yihi already. They wanted to know if the clock still keeps time? lol. I did explain that ( and a video ), but I understand the translation thing I always try to be short and to the point. Even then...
I figure if it takes a while, then I may be able to kill two birds with one stone if the finish goes south

That's why I held off of buying a carbon fiber G. I had a feeling painted stainless steel wouldn't hold up long. I have to admit it's been torture waiting for the leather Gs while everyone else has been enjoying their CF Gs.

Tbh I just don't feel like metal should be painted, Idk why China feels they have to paint all their mods. Just for fun, I recently stripped a freinds janky looking 3 month old smok alien and imo it just looked so much better w/ brushed zinc alloy. Aluminum and titanium are one thing bc you can bond the color to the metal with anodizing but paint just never sticks well.
I am not convinced about the silver versions either tbh. From the photos they look like they are coated in some sort of lacquer which can look just as bad if chipped etc. Still hopefully just the photos and they will be bare metal.
Had my Carbon one for over a week now and not a mark on it but as mentioned only time will tell how they fare. Am going to drop a wrap on mine in the mean time, not a great fan of them but it will offer some protection until it becomes last weeks mod lol

really? wth would they put a plating over stainless steel? sometimes china confuses the hell out of me lol. still, I could always just sand it off.I am not convinced about the silver versions either tbh.

I wouldn't say I regret purchasing it at all its a lovely well made mod and very different from anything else you will own just be wary that it's a big beast and that screen makes it a little bit more on the delicate side.
Good hand feel in my bear paws, it's weighty and doesn't feel flimsy and it delivers a smooth vape. Just bear in mind: atomizers smaller than 30mm will expose a portion of that massive 510, and the battery door is a bit footery.
Yeah I know and I truly hope I am wrong but if you look at the current photos out there, ok, possibly not final production units but they, at least to me, look like there is some sort of coating on the metal. It just does not look like bare metal to me. :-/
