Changing the LED?

[Chriswerx]

I have a No.7 Micro (basically a DSE-103), and soon a Joye 510 e-cig. I got to thinking... Is it possible to replace the LED in the tip of the battery with different color ones (like from RadioShack), or do those batteries not come apart?

Any input from you masters of mod would be appreciated!

Since I've only owned 901's and on 901's it is possible. Problem is that it would require a VERY steady hand and a soldering iron the size of a needle. The LED on a 901 appears to be a SMD LED. Here's a picture of the rough size of the thing, TINY! It'd be much easier to either by a batt with the correct color already built-in or to use something (like gel film or different ashcap) to change the color of the built-in LED.

Just my $.01


AND THAT'S A FRIGGIN' DIME! Which is about DOUBLE the diameter of a 901!

Yowza... I have all the grace and precision of a drunk walrus... So I'm going to take that a a no, and just leave it alone!

Thanks for the info!

No problem! From one walrus to another, I'd NEVER attempt it! I've soldered standard 3mm LEDs and 5mm LEDs but they're about 10 times larger!
