The Dreaded LED

[Robert]

I have always wanted to see Real Time with Bill Maher live, I so hate you right now. lol.

I went to Venice Beach and a guy was handing out tickets. They make you go through a metal detector and empty your pockets, no cell phones allowed. I opened up my PCC and showed security it wasn't a cell phone. Security asked- do they work? Yes- no cigs after 2 weeks using it.

I'm so envious, he is an idol of mine.

I'm looking for a black battery with green led for the 510 if anyone can find one in stock. Thanks

thesmokesafe has them (also blue and red too). I would love to see white LEDs on a black 510 though.

Theres nothing wrong with preferring LED's at all.
Did you check out Zi Moshi Home which directs you to Hardass Vapor Shop

Happily's post really grabbed my attention though

As far as size, yes, if you must have a cigarette size device. But an LED can be provided with any PV, it's just a matter of where you put it. The LV/ZiMoshi use to have an LED that lit up when you pushed the button. I think they still make it that way.

Looks like you can have everything..........size, batts and led's.

So we like pretty colored lights eh?

I've got the coolest color-changing LEDS at work. 7 colors available in a slow fade, a fast fade, a strobing flash, and a fade/flash combo. Now just hold your horses- all I have are 5mm leaded LEDS. In other words they are WAY too big. Our e-cigs, at least the ones I've seen thus far, use a "chip" or "surface-mount" type of LED. Tiny tiny TINY little buggers. Almost impossible to install with a standard fine-tip soldering iron. Typically you use a hot-air SMT (Surface Mount Technology) workstation when working with SMT but I have managed, on a few occasions, to pull off a repair using my conventional iron and a jeweler's loupe.

I guess I'm gonna have to do some research and see if I can score some SMT color-changing LEDS huh? I'm not too hopeful as the color changers are actually multiple leds as well as a controller chip in a standard 5mm LED package. I *might* be able to fit a 3mm conventional LED- not sure. Not even sure if color-changers are available in 3mm... Guess I'm gonna have to rattle the bushes and see what runs out huh?

Definitely interesting though...

We'll see.

I love the LED's but I hate the ashcap cover, why make the tip look like a nasty ashy analogs even on e-cigs that don't look like analogs i.e. penstyles?? Can't we have a different tip option, perhaps replacement caps that are smooth and clear, gem caps would be nice too.

If there was a 510 batt that lit up a different color every time you inhaled, I would buy it immediately.

I prefer the LED's especially purple. But I think it's nice to have some with LED's and some without for different scenario's. LED's could be distracting at movie theatres. I asked at our theatre if PV's were allowed and they said it's fine as long as it's not noisy but I ended up not using it because I figured the LED would be distracting.

I just put my palm against the LED at the theater, but your right, an unlit batt option would be nice in such instances
