I'll end-up making a minimum order on the LED's, so 100 of them at $0.19ea FOB Shenzhen. I have a shipping account with DHL, so probably around 27% to land them.
There's always the risk of killing a board or LEDs with reworking 0603s. We're talking a part the size of the head of a pin, give or take, and you do all your work under 15-20x magnification. That said - 2 pin 0603's are what beginners start with, it's just more heat sensitivity for an LED. After I have a couple successes without failure, I'll offer to rework one or two of yours, Taryn.
I just need to figure out how to do a full disassembly without scratching the finish on the batteries. Those darn press-fit connectors stink for non-destructive disassembly.

I would prefer no light. What I really need is pager like on my cordless phone. I hide my e-cig from myself a few times a day. The hardest time finding it was when I had stuck it in a coffee cup that is full pens and pencils. Why? I can not know.
I like blue lights at night and can get behind the purple! I do have a daft question, though; is it the light behind the end of the VK that has the color, or is it the cap itself? I've never examined it in detail.
Oh, I like your new avatar, Taryn!

I want one with a black light so that I can use it to solve all the crime scene mysteries I work
Puff, Puff, hey look there is a blood stain someone tried to wash away.

Might be cool to have a kaleidoscoping light show on a mini-scale, like those things that used to be sold with aluminum X-mas trees in the 1950's. Do you think that might draw too much attention?
adrenalynn, i know at least one of my forum girlies will be all about ordering custom LEDs if you wanted to make some cash. and i would get on board that too. 
of course if V4L would just offer the complete rainbow...

I like that rework station, my station's just an old Weller that a friend gave me 15 years ago when he bought a rework. Maybe when I get a job I'll pick up a 2702. That thing looks nice, and I've got some mod projects in mind that will be using small smt. I've never worked with chips that are 4mmx4mm with 24 pins on them. Seems it would probably be easier to use air to solder those than a pen.
go for your goals
since ive started vaping, all i can do is think about what vape goodies ill be buying next? lol
So for you more technically minded peeps, I can't just pull the green led out of my blue xl and swap it for the blue one out of another batt?
I love my LED...would also like to add a purple to my collection
...if there was a purple LED, i could vape and go to heaven!!!!
