Great!!!

I knew you wanted it to work out "soooo bad", I didn't know what else I could do!

Thank you for the kind words though, that was very nice also!

Glad everything worked out in the end!

Another way to change the color of the outside is to use RIT dye. Just becareful you can make a big mess with that stuff.. Just boil the water add the dye then drop it in.. Should work, this is how I dyw my plastic rims for my R/C Cars. Also make note to use a crappy pan

CVS pharmacies have a version that is in a translucent tube, and the label can easily be peeled off; no sanding required. You do have to sand the threads off where the sprayer cap fit on so that the top will slide on.

Thanks for the tip, it works great!

I just got 2 ecig cases from greensmoke for $20. I use 1 for my 2 complete joye510 or one 510+ 1battery+ 2carts. The other i use to hold my 2 M402 and its 4 carts. pretty convenient.

The dye sounds like another short weekend project! Thanks!

I will checkout the CVS one! Thanks!

There is one like that at DollarTree down here with the peel off adhesive label and for only a buck, but I haven't got a chance to play with that one.. YET!

So.....freakin'......AWESOME. Thanks for this!

How did you seal the holes in the top, we're going to a waterpark in a couple of weeks and this could prove priceless. I'll just be in the kiddie pool so no problem with deep water.

2, 4, 6 year old kids. No chance of deep water!

Will epoxy work? Something like that stuff Billy Mays used to sale? (Poor Billy Mays....)

Yeah... poor Billy... was one of my idols.

Anyway... I prefer a small dab of some clear silicone (24 hours to cure & dry), as they use in aquariums, but also heard a person used hot glue (5 minutes dry time). The holes are very small in the cap, so whatever we use does not need to be much. Remember with that little riser inside the cap that makes the 510 fit so snug also gives us a little more room to play when it comes to waterproofing those little holes on top. About anything that has waterproofing properties should work.

Whatever you end up using...

Always check your results in the sink or tub, first with a rolled up paper towel in the case, before committing your 510 to an uncertain future!!!

Hope this helped!

Will do on the paper towel check! Thanks for the answer. As for that little plug thing on the inside..... I kinda sanded it down so that my 901 mini will fit inside too.

Works like a charm. Being female, I have a hot glue gun at the ready ( I call it a woman's duct tape!) so I will be using that. No problems so far. I'm going to use a finger nail file to smooth down the edges, etc. Thanks again! You guys are great! BTW, I honestly wasn't making fun of Billy Mays, I really did like him. I have a few of his products and all work as performed by him. Just so everyone knows. Didnt' want any

I knew what you meant about Billy...he will be missed.

901 huh? Great!!!

It means a lot to hear about different models that fit the case. Well done!
