How can you add graphics to your e-cig?

Look up Friendly plastic. These are thin plastic sheets that are heated with a blow dryer to make what ever shape that you desire. People into arts and crafts use this to make jewelry and re-design pen cases. Scroll down this site and you'll see examples.

This is what the sheets should look like. One and a half inch by seven inches. 6 Friendly Plastic 7" LOT Solid Mix Metallic Sticks - eBay (item 180368174548 end time Jul-12-09 09:21:01 PDT)

Of course, that's for a pack in the example above. But you can go to most arts and crafts store and purchase individual sheets for a buck fifty or online. There are hundreds of colors and patterns to choose from.

Also, if one should go this route, which I haven't done yet, but will for a future box mod. This plastic cannot take over exposure to sunlight, meaning don't leave it on the dash, window seal, or on the heater....which shouldn't happen to your ecigs anyway for the reason of the delicate battery in there. But once that plastic has cooled, it's really durable.

Ooh, Friendly Plastic would be a great decorator. Since you mention it, I'll bet you could use Fimo clay as well. I used to mess around with Friendly Plastic yeeeears ago. Either of them could be used alone to decorate or you could make a sleeve out of it (with the plastic, just heat it long enough for it to be pliable).

I would say painting the Ecig itself is probably not the best way. Since an ecig is just 3 pieces (battery,Atomizer and Cart) and all of those pieces will go bad. At that point you would have to get another and paint it to match.


Instead how about a tube that you would slide the Ecig into then decorating that.

hmmm...that might help with the sometimes leaky cartridge, too!

Laser etched would be cool. Especially if was a brown model... (I know I am strange)

laser etched... somebody needs to get on that.

What a GREAT IDEA!!!!!! I am trying it tomorrow!!!!! You guys ROCKKKKK

[jerseyguy72]

I am a sign guy by trade and I do custom prints to wrap cars, computers, etc. As soon as I get my 510 I will be playing around with different ways to customize it and I will report back to you guys. If there is enough interest in it I will throw a website together and become a merchant member here to sell them. I was thinking about doing graphics for PPC's and other cases also. I would need to make templates up for everything which would mean that I would be looking for people local to me who have different models that would be interested in a free customization in exchange for letting me make a template of their cases etc. So if anyone would be interested let me know.

I guess I am lucky, I have access to a laser etcher, I have used it to make glass etched and wood etched plaques. They also do pencils and pens, you guys and gals just gave me some ideas to try

[Archer74]

Anyone want a Laser Etcher? I found this for you. some guy made one out of a CD/DVD burner for $60

Tools You'll Need

It's been a long while .. but it like a powder you put on metal or glass using a stencil and it does all the etching just like a laser would depending on what your stencil is..

something like etch-O-Matic Martronic Corporation
