Hello, fellow Volties! First off, happy holidays.
But to get to the point, I've got a weird dilemma. I'm an artist, and am opening a show on January 3rd with a performance piece, of which I need an e-pipe for (can't smoke a real pipe in a gallery without risking damaging all of my other pieces and having some legal issues arise). But, because it is the holiday season, all of the e-pipes I've found online are either sold out, have poor reviews/ones that don't sync up with my particular specifics, or are out of my price range.
So, my idea was that I could maybe sculpt a pipe-shaped housing for one of my favorite brand's 72mm batteries. Obviously this is something I would sculpt so that it wouldn't be a very tight fit, function as a real pipe when there's no battery in it, allowing airflow around the e-cig while in use, etc. Basically, small automatic battery with a small-battery-compatible clearo attached, able to slide into the stem of this pipe, with only the mouth piece of the clearo exposed and a small amount of cotton in the mouthpiece end of the pipe to keep the e-cig from just sliding out of the pipe when I set it down.
The question is, do you think this would work or would it cause the battery to explode or something ridiculous like that? Knowing me, if this design does work out, I would likely use the housing for kicks/shock value when running errands and such, but if you think more use of such a design would damage the battery, I could refrain. This is something that really only needs to work out for about 5 minutes during an hour long performance.
I've asked one of my e-cig using friends about this already and he seems to think it'd be okay. Figured I should ask Imagine, anyway, since I'd need to place a new SI order for clearos and I don't want to waste precious clay on something that'll just ruin my e-cigs....
