Hey, so I was thinking about painting my e-cig, but I didn't like the permanent nature of it, I wanted to be able to change it whenever I felt like it, so being an artist (both traditional and graphic)I thought of the idea of making decals. So far I've been playing around and made a "long-ash" one, a ghost-busters device one, and have saved a bunch of images for circuit board decals, tribal designs, rusty diamond plated steel, etc. I haven't had a chance to pick up any adhesive printer paper, but when I do I'll post some pictures.
Anyway, if you have adhesive paper (or you can use cafe-press, see below) and you're interested, let me know the length of your battery (in millimeters) from the atomizer end to the point where it meets the LED cap, and the diameter of your battery in millimeters. You can get the diameter by wrapping a strip of paper around it and marking it with a pen and measuring the paper strip. I will be adding a bleed of a couple of millimeters, so give me the exact diameter, don't add anything to the length yourself.
Then, tell me what kind of design you want. I'd prefer something a little more complex then say just re-sizing an image to fit the battery, I could put a custom logo on one end, all different kinds of formatted text, custom patterns, etc. Basically if you can picture it as a 2D image then I can probably do it.
I only ask that if I make you one that you post pictures of it on your e-cig. And a tip for making sure you can easily remove them: stick it to your shirt a couple of times before putting on the e-cig and it will become a little less adhesive and come off more easily when you want to take it off. I've also heard that there is "removable adhesive paper" but I don't know the availability of it or how well it works.
Alternatively, instead of buying and printing the decal yourself you can have it printed by Cafe-Press for $3. Their stickers are printed on 4mil vinyl using water and UV resistant inks – meaning no fading in the sun or bleeding in the rain. http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/product.aspx?clear=true&no=50
