Hello! Anodizing Service for your aluminum drip tips and hosts.

[spacekitty]

WoW!! Your work is stunning!!

I used to work (in the office) at a shop that did anodizing of mainly race car and airplane parts, but nothing like that!!

Thanks! If they anodize, they have the ability to do this, just no call for it apparently. It's not exactly something that most anodizers do. Mostly things get anodized because they need to be protected not look pretty. That's just a side effect!

This meager sampling is just a small example of what I can really do. I can make ya a multiple colored candy striped barrel if you really wanna pay for the time! I can dye logo's onto the anodized parts as well as long as they aren't too detailed.

Here is my test on doing a radioactive symbol and a laser warning onto some parts.

This next example isn't my work, but it's an incredibly beautiful example of what CAN be done with anodizing.

That bio hazard symbol is awesome looking! Well if you start making your own PV's and offer a custom finish like this then you will be set I'm sure. This is great work.

Hi ..... are the anodized surfaces ok for contact with juice?
I have a couple tank caps that are aluminum, and would love them done in gold.

 

[Pigsticker]

Sadly no effect at all. Brass cannot be anodized. It can be plated with zinc or nickel but not anodized.

Do you do plating? I was thinking a black (or deep blue) Don with nickel hardware at the ends.

 

[Fisty]

I dunno if Kenom can do plating.. but I know the gold colored anodizing is really beautiful

 

[BluSwatch]

Fisty - I have seen some gold done before and loved it. Just not sure how it would hold up to juice ..... I have a pair of the Phiniac aluminum caps that 1st came out.
They are fine, but I could sure use some gold. LOL

 

[Kenom]

it should hold up pretty well.. I've got a ton of aluminum anodized drip tips that I've used for years and haven't seen any changes in teh surface at all.

I do have the Gold dye, so I can get ya taken care of. Cost for anodizing a drip tip is $5, so it will be pretty close to that. It also depends on how much needs to be done to the surface to prepare it. If I have to polish it up a lot ot get it glossy gold, then there's a little more cost involved.

I don't I'm sorry. I can get you in touch with some folks that do plating, but I you can't dye plating either. So, not quite sure what to tell ya. What is it that your looking at getting done?

 

[BluSwatch]

Kenom - I just wonder about the part of the caps that would actually be sitting in the juice, inside the tank part?
Am I making sense? LOL

And does the anodizing add any thickness to the metal? Or pretty negligible?

 

[Kenom]

it will add 1mil. 1 millionth of an inch. The metal sitting in the juice will not be affected. The vivi nova tanks are all anodized metal.

 

[BluSwatch]

Kenom - cool! I won't have to worry about increasing the outward force on the glass then.

 

[Kenom]

Nope not at all. You won't see any real increases that will affect threading unless both sides are threaded. But then I can mask threads so they don't get anodized.

 

[BluSwatch]

Kenom - these are Phiniac tank caps ..... like this - no threading at all, but too much outward pressure can break the glass tank when you pop them on.

 

[Kenom]

Oh heck yeah that'll be super easy. I'd say $5 each for those/

 

[Kenom]

I would like to state that I can remove existing anodizing and redo it custom. For those that have purchase a Bolt anodized or something else, it's really easy to do and then anodize the way you want it done.

What about a ihybrid? Complete mod?

 

[Fisty]

The top cap and the metal inside the tank itself (including the little ring that you see in between the tank cover and the battery tube) is stainless steel and can't be anodized. Everything else can, the battery tubes, tank covers, and almost the whole switch, excluding the thin inside portion of the bottom button that will need to be masked off so it still makes a connection.

 

[Kenom]

I can anodize The Ihybrid easily. There are also a lot of other mods that are aluminum that I can anodize as well. The key is aluminum. If it's aluminum, I can anodize it and make it perty!

Im thinking a black and white anodize. can you put a clear coat over it so its harder to get scratches?
