Anybody ever paint their batteries?

[brickfollett]

Brickfollett, why the heck would you want to paint your batteries?

Well I have a Reo, and don't much care for the flash of green inside the body of it, or the flash of red. Vtc5 and Aw imr 18650s respectfully.

The real question is, it safe? Will it interfere with venting? I would leave a strip of color on the battery, allowing me to identify it, but I just want to do a quick spray of primer black on my batteries. Some of you may scream NOOOO, but that's precisely why I'm asking, so as not to put my face on an endangered species list. Thanks for the help in advance

Get some battery shrink tubing stuff?

Yup, get some black shrink tubing, or wrap it with electrical tape.

Geniuses, I didn't even think of electrical tape. It only has to be a strip, so that's a great idea

I wrapped some black electrical tape around my Sony batteries in my Reo, I even made it into a pull tab to remove the battery easier.

Or you can put a thin piece of foam or the craft stuff little people make stuff out of over the door. I saw someone said it helped make squonking easier and it would cover up the battery too. I'm gonna try that one too.

I am in love with a reo and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Aren't they wonderful? Come visit us at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/521222-reo-lounge-part-iv.html. Some really nice folks there.

I wouldn't paint them. You're introducing a flammable chemical to an object that can, and will, get warm. The chances of them catching on fire are low, but not worth the risk.

Yeah I saw that, I participated in that thread. I like being able to see the bottle so I can monitor my juice level without removing the door. Small bit of electrical tape seems like the way to go.

Also good point about the fire hazard, I didn't even think of that. Although this would probably only be a concern in a worst case scenario, but stuff happens
