The eGo lanyard that was delivered in a small box of other e-cigarette goodies (collectively known as VapeMail) is better made than I had expected. My experience of lanyards is of the type that is used to hang an ID card too, these are often handed out at trade-shows and are normally only worn once and then discarded by the attendee – the quality of the lanyard reflects its intended short life. In common with the lanyards of my past experience this one has a flat nylon ribbon designed to be hung around one’s neck, it was also printed with a company name which again accorded with my expectations. The ribbon was joined at the end by a chromed metal piece which had a finish that looked smooth and glossy – so much nicer than the cheaply produced freebies that had informed my assumptions. Emerging from this metallic end piece was a loop of thin cord that I expect (and hope) is stronger than it looks. This fine cord is looped through a ‘Lobster claw’ clasp of questionable quality. This clasp is intended to retain the collar that is designed to be attached to an eGo e-cigarette – because the thread is looped onto the clasp it can easily be removed so that the thread can be looped directly to the collar instead, should you wish to do so. The eGo lanyards collar is placed on your eGo style e-cigarette battery on the same plane as the firing button, just below the eGo thread. An arch in the collar sits around the firing button, centring the collar’s loop ring directly opposite. Lanyards are fairly common-place but this collar which is designed specifically to hold the eGo type battery is not, the collar is the most important bit of the eGo lanyard and I’m pleased to report that it appears to be well made. I am unsure if it is constructed from Stainless Steel or a Chrome plated alloy but either way the finish is smooth and shiny and has the appearance of something that will be long lasting.ego lanyard tagged up Although the collar is supplied with a lanyard it could equally well be used to attach an eGo battery to a neck chain, key ring, belt clip or carabiner via a slim split ring. The collar is one of life’s little things for which no adequate substitute exists.
