I have two flattered black aluminum Blem Lyfe Ables. They sell the Blem one at viper Vape, north shore Vape distribution, there's a couple more. They're up to $125 now I think? I expected some scratches, something major, but they both just have a small amount of the top of the tube that isn't anodized. You can barely tell, and it saved a shit ton.
Go for a Blem Lyfe man. It's a great way to get into an authentic able. They're great mods. I'm used to telesping pins and adjustments even with hybrids, the innovation in the Able is the simplicity and no need for any tools. It needs no adjusting, and no tools to disassemble/assemble. The aluminum is on par with my hybrid copper mechs, too. They're nice.
