Varitube Rep has confirmed the versions they received were same as the ones received by authorized Vendors in the UK:
Black on Black Leather.
They were received today midday and have begun to be shipped out to Buyers today as well. Got my "Shipped" notification email 30 mins ago.
Personally (after objectively considering all Facets & Aesthetics as well as Pics side-by-side) am happier and more confident overall with these than the Stainless on Blk Leather and consider this development to be a "Plus/Win". I like the thicker textured Black Finish with Stainless/Chrome Hardware and Accents on the Black Leather. Look equally as Kickin' with a Black Atty as it will a Stainless (IMO). Looks both as Stylish & Classy as it does Rugged & Gritty.
Hmmm,,, the "Bond" of Vape Mods
Can't wait to warhead it with a black Aromamizer Plus (ordered and enroute) and/or my stainless VA Kraken v2 with black delrin based stainless VA Fishbone D.T.
One thing for sure, the fantastic, exemplary, and far above and beyond any expectation Service, Communication, and personal Attention received throughout this Order/Transaction Process is simply both amazing and out-freakin-standing!
Thanks much to the Varitube Crew
