I love my Slice and the extra $10 for the LE was worth it. For some odd reason I find myself carrying the G2 everywhere and the Slice in the car. The reason really is that I dropped my mods so many times I have several with me at all times. The Slice is definitely zinc alloy, not plastic, a bit wobbly here and there but a solid performer. If the G2 could kick my ass for the many times I dropped it, I'd be all bruised. No kidding, the G2 can take all the abuse and keeps working.
Now to wait for the Labor day sales, get another Slice (or two) to keep company to the three G2s. I have the red slice, I will be getting the blue and maybe a silver one too.
Of all the mods I own , Triade and Vaporflask DNA133 included, the G2s are the tougest ,ugliest, most loved, most used mods. I should say that the flask and Triade stay in the house, they're too purdy to be taken out and abused.
