So, today...I ordered these decals on ebay to stick on my 510 batteries. They should be small enough to fit between the manual button and the LED cap.

(obviously, the sellers name WILL NOT be covering the pin-up girls on the actual product)
These arent "stickers"...they are waterslide decals....you know...the kind that all of those model airplanes and cars used to come with. I'll take a picture of it when I get them to show whether or not it looks good.

Since a 510 battery doesnt last very long, this is a very cheap way to get a somewhat custom look for your ecig without wasting alot of money. Chances are that these wont be very brightly colored on a black battery.....I have scraped the paint of off 3 of my batteries and attys and they are now copletely silver in color...and I think these decals will look great...but we'll see.

I like the 510's. I've had good luck, so far, with battery life.
I got my first 510 kit a month ago....and already the battery life has dropped to about half of what they were when I first got them....The second battery goes out before the first battery is finished charging....Luckily I have a 3rd battery so Im still not without for any period of time...but I knew It wouldnt be much longer before they are worthless....so I ordered another kit that came in yesterday. This is the exact reason that the CHUCK is so appealing to me...it uses REAL batteries that last like 2-3 days instead of 2-3 hours!!!
Hey BigDaddy, I just washed my shoestrings and they're lookin' sweeet!
Haaa....I bet staring at white paint as it dries is hours of amazement for you, too..right?? :laugh:

If you're completely satisfied with 3.7v then i'd suggest you go with a mega ego or a riva over the chuck (for price and size). However if you're planning on moving up to high voltage then go for it

yes but a chuck is about $100-$130 with batteries and chargers, it has a 2 week waiting list (this may or may not bother you), plus it is BIG, whereas a mega ego goes for about $24 (forgot which site), lasts about 10 hours of heavy vaping, and is still easily palmable. This is only if you're completely satisfied with 3.7v which some people are

A mega eGo replacement battery goes for $24.00. An 18650 goes for about $8.00.
An eGo kit averages about $75.00 to $80.00. A chuck costs $80.00 shipped.
This is an apples to oranges comparison really. The eGo battery doesn't ever hit the 4.2 volts that the 18650 comes off of the charger at either. If you ues a high drain battery ($11.00) you'll get over 4 volts 'till it dies.
The only selling point for the eGo when compared to a bigger mod is size.
