Acrylic Ash Cap Replacement

[sio2]

I'm not a fan of the traditional ash cap that comes on stock batteries, so I started making my own from acrylic.





The led is pretty darn bright now. I think I'll have to make a few in black delrin for stealthy vaping.

nice job sio2, you machine them yourself?

Can we purchase

That's really cool! Thinking of some jeweled bling caps, but yours are clean and modern-looking.

[sio2]

Cisco, yes I machined them myself.

RIMP, I hadn't really thought about it. I'll have to do a few more and see how long it takes me.

can you take a pic of a standard ash cap led in the dark, and then one of yours in the dark? I would like to see a comparison. If it is as you say you may have to teach me how to do this.

I tried taking pics with my ash cap and with a standard, but there isn't a discernible difference in the pics. It may just appear brighter to me because I can see more of it. Or it's possible I need to get better with a camera.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Very welcome, Quite nice

The ash cap was a nice initial idea but there can be better solutions. I like what you have created - clean and modern design.

Brighter yes too, and also - and this is the main advantage - one can see the LED glow yourself

I came up with a simple alternative some time ago, described here: Be able to see the LED glow on your 901 !
