I've been offered a Vivid Air 2013 under warranty as my Vivid Coil R2C blew and the UK importers are gonna have to wait 5 weeks for the Vivid Coil parts to turn up to fix it, already been waiting 3 weeks.

Anyone had any experience of the Vivid Air?

I've been told I can try it and if I don't like it they'll still fix my Coil Vivid but thought I'd get some opinions anyway. Obviously it has weight benefits but what is the performance like?

Cheers Smile
