BLING !

[PapawBrett]

Don't worry, this thread will die quickly ....
ANYTHING that you would do to make your vaping Equipment beautiful is welcome here. Accessories, drip tips, cases, polishes, covers, etc.
As the owner of several wooden mods, I prefer Howards' Feed and Wax (which is overdue. I need to get off my .... on that one.)
I also have several brass rba's and doors that this old Navy guy uses Brasso for (again, overdue)
I have a couple of custom made drip tips (which I paid way too much for) from Mole Mountain Art.

So, how do you 'BLING" your Gear ?

 

[Baditude]

Custom hand blown pyrex "tree frog" cartotank from High Desert Vapes on an AltSmoke BB mech mod. Bella Tank end caps on a custom Phiniac pyrex tank on an AltSmoke Silver Bullet mech mod.

Triple-V pyrex cartotank with pyrex drip tip. AGA-T RTA with colored pyrex replacement glass on Provari standard and Provari Mini with extension tubes and wide base.

Custom pyrex drip tip on a V-MOD XL squonk mech.

TrueStone drip tip on AGA-T and SB.

Provari with rare chrome battery extension end cap.

IBTanked cartotank with Knucklehead drip tip on Mini Provari.


All of the above gear was purchased and used 2012 - 2013, no longer in use and no longer in production.

never mind. Baditude answered my question ...

Just Brasso for my old brass and copper mods.

I used to torch my old mods. I haven't done it in a long time.

No bling here, unless silicone rings and a wrist lanyard count.

I did put a sticker from my favorite flashlight store on the Rover X though.
I pick form over fashion but do consider appearance when assembling a modular device. And I did order some black tapered tips after noticing my see through resembled baby bottles.

Nice thread.

My lesson in torching was short and sweet - I scorched an original Hornet RBA.
Torching requires low heat and patience.

Calling @Katdarling . Folks here are looking for bling!

Mods are a lot easier than attys. The metal is a lot thinner on attys. I had the best results using the stoves at work. Nice big, hot (but not too hot) flame.

I guess I should add ... for painted metal finishes on my REOS Mods I have used Mothers Brazilian Carnauba Wax. Don't know if it's the best, but it does put a nice shine on a Mod. Can be bought at Auto parts stores.

Loving this thread, keep 'em coming. I will try to get pics in a few days.

@Baditude , I wondered if you still had the SB's. I have the baby SB. Imo, best buttons ever on those things. They still look nice even with all the new, shinies out there. I remember when you and @YoureFired had the market cornered on SB's. I helped him get a rare gold plated one that he eventually sold back to the wife of the modder, she said there were only 2 made and she really wanted it.

 

[Katdarling]

Ok kiddies, I'm prepping and getting ready....

I no longer have the white Silver Bullet pictured above. The last time I saw it my son was using it, and that was in 2014 when I was working at the vape shop. I do have a black one still (below pic), but I haven't used it in about 2 years. I'm using regulated mods exclusively now.

I still have the black BB, too. (Baby Bullet or Black Beauty). Hasn't had much use since about 2013 because its a 14500 battery mod and had a battery blow up in it, although it still works after the fire button was replaced.

Neither the SB or BB had ventilation holes. The fire buttons were specially designed to allow gas to escape in the event of a battery venting, instead of ventilation holes in the tube.

My Therion leather doors are about as blingy as I get.

Almost forgot the Gaia
