    Starting to understand why they don’t release all of the footage in these kinds of things. Transparency only helps if you are looking at reality.

    Conspiracy theorists claimed Lyons was holding a “badge," but the item appears to be a vape that Lyons was seen holding earlier in the day, although the quality of the footage makes that difficult to say with 100 percent certainty.

    Not only is that 100% a vape, it appears to be the exact vape that I have on the desk next to me right now, with some glare on the leather-clad part of the body.

    Edit: It’s worth noting that the tank on the one held by Lyons is a different one than is pictured in the marketing material. It’s an older variant, and larger than standard.

      You’re dead on. My geekvape actually included both a 5.5ml bubble glass from your picture and the 4ml straight glass like seen in the photo. I was pissed when I broke the bubble glass but happy I had the backup lol.

    Had to check if it was what I thought it was….

    And it was.

    They’re all so predictably stupid. It’s not even fun to play guess the conspiracy theory anymore.

    Honestly this is so obviously a vape I’m confused on how you could think it was anything else. Unless we now print legit badges on vapes?
