Vape bands are so.....2016?

[Waine]

It occurred to me that I don't use vape bands anymore. I saw some in my office draw, and put them on for this pic. At one stage I was so paranoid about my glass breaking, but no more...

Is the "vape band" craze over?

Do you still use vape bands?

Never used them. Don't see the need to.

I am dripping exclusively now so vape bands have sent to the retirement home.

Considering the nightmare to find a glass for my one tank I won't risk it. got a batman band that's inverted so it's just black. Not a fan of what is out, and really hate those slogan bands.

My mage gta allways had its bands on and a few days ago for some reason i took them off and boom my tank droped and cracked and i have no spare glass now my tank has a lair of dcfix on it till i can replace it so yes ile still use them

 

[Cespian]

Only time I ever used a vape band was to keep my Crius V3 from leaking by the AFC. Also mainly drip so these were quite pointless for me.

I agree. I will continue using them for specific tanks. Also had the unfortunate incident where I lost a glass that could have been avoided.
I use whatever band comes out of the drawer first. No matter what colour or slogan. I am not bothered

Used them for a few days and then never again...

I display them so i have something to remind me of how i had the tendency in the beginning to waste money on unnecessary vape gear.

 

[Chukin'Vape]

Yep - they are soooooooooooooooooo 2016! EW!

 

[SAVapeGear]

I cut them for my Billet box,as a condensation guard.

LOL. some cool feedback.

This was really a fun post...

My take? Vape bands are generally Fugly! Seriously! They were cool, but are no longer... Having said that: for some good vaping folk, I can equate a vape band to a "Durex Featherlite", on a night out, in your wallet, with a honey,... of note, and....but...! Except... when the 1 G glass tank shatters after a few lemonades, and a drop, you are still smiling, because....you wore..... "protection".

Lately, just lately.... call me a snob...I think vape bands ruin the beauty of an RTA, just my opinion, but! secondly, look at it this way: if your tank breaks, you have a perfect excuse to buy a new one

Respect to those who use vape bands! Last year I was religious about wearing mine. But it is crazy how one's opinion and views on something (as small as a vape band) can so easily change.

mine are lying in a cup....

I tend to lose my bands pulling my vape out of jeans pockets. I use them when i have them as vaping is a lifestyle not a fashion show for me. I dont want to buy new glass every week.

I'm stil a firm believer in better to have one on then not and i loves my batman band

 

[Scissorhands]

Last used in TFv4 days to stop the fill door from swinging open and dumping juice!

Since then ZERO bands and ZERO glass breaks

Conclusion : i would only consider using it if i didn't have a spare glass ( if i owned a vape band!)

Nice thread

No space on my BB's for a Vape Band.

The following image is the resultant of my vape band removing itself for the umpteenth time from my atty in my pocket. It happened quite some time ago and I liked it so much that I actually replaced the original band already. Don't you think it accentuates my wedding ring? Vapers bling. I have actually seen at least one other person with a similar taste in jewellery.

 

[Tashy]

Hahahaha, that's funny... yeah, I think I put mine on once and then gave it away.

None of my atties have glass. I only use drippers. And yes vape bands are so 2016

Used them when I used RTA's and Sub-ohm tanks. Mainly because I once broke a Trinity Sub X tank (almost cried) and the Theorem RTA's would break if you looked at them funny.
With only 1 tank left in my rotation, and even then it barely gets used (Petri is much too pretty for a vape band) this is whats left of the bands - now living on the cheap plastic bell-cap that replaced said Trinity:

What are these "tanks" and "glass" of which people speak? I must look into this.

I still use my theorem and still have all the original glass unbroken
I guess I'm just extra careful knowing how easy it is to break when removing.

I became more careful after slicing my finger open. Such a flawed tank in many ways and I moaned a bit, but I enjoyed it and somehow had (and still have) 3 of them. None have been used for quite a while though

I use it to remove the driptip on my Mage. People who own a Mage knows how real the struggle is
