here it is my 2nd mod painted....ta daaaaa

[jaybird]

it is a heavy little thing , and makes great vapor. i would say just as much as the SD or the zi moshi...if not better.it is made out of 3/4 inch copper tube and caps, with a 901 atty on it, and it takes the same battery as an SD. you cant tell by the pics , but it has a metallic finish .

that is pretty sweet you've given me something to think about.
my father was a plumber, and i used to love raiding his parts boxes for connectors and things to make paraphernalia with. good job!

thanks i appreciate that, i just started modding last week.

It's pretty! I would love to make something like that but there's an essential part I can't obtain. It's called a 'Not being cack-handed'. Anyone know a supplier?

Wow Nice Paint Job! Thats A Lot Better!

Still Grab Some Of The X-Wrap, The Blue Would Look Good With it!

~Keep Vapin~!

Nice job OP. I like that a lot. I have seen a few mods here with the cooper I must say this is pretty clean looking. I just have not seen anybody post the materials that are needed for these mods. I know you used ¾ copper pipe and ¾ end caps. But what’s used inside as far as connections. Thanks Ice

ok, you need 3/4 copper pipe and end caps, you can find the atty connection on the zi moshi lightvapor build video. the button is from radio shack. the wire i swiped from an old computer power cord. i soldered a spring into 1 end cap, and drilled a hole in the other for the button. solder you atomizer adapter to the cap with the hole, and then solder your negative wire to that. then assemble your atomizer connector. solder your + wire to 1 side your button and make a connection pad and solder it on to the other side of the button connection. put the button in the hole and screw the nut it comes with on. drill a hole in the copper tube big enough to fit the 2 wires . pull your + wire through the hole and push the cap on. pull the negative wire through the hole and solder/ ground it to the body. solder your + wire to the rod at the back end of your atomizer connector. if you have done this right , you should be vaping .

hope this helps........btw this thing will use up juice quick

[Angela]

What did you use to paint it with? It looks like a very nice finish

 

[labrat]

The paint job looks great. IMO, better than shrink wrap.

i used spray paint from the local hobby shop. the trick is to use the right primer...needs to bond to metal. gray primer for red paint, and white for others. heres a red 1 ..little bigger this time. i think ill make a black 1 for the car.

sorry, i forgot to add the part about the clear coat. 5 coats of clear , then bake in the oven at 170 for 1 hour. make sure you use an old atty and a wire to hang it from while baking. i use a drill to make a hole in the atty and then use a plastic zip tie with a wire, to hang it from the top rack.

 

[franklyspeaking]

Great finish! Great Mod!!!
I bet it vapes like a champ...

Did you paint your SD as well?

 

[jaybird]

nope, it a shrink wrap. i put it on there to keep it from getting scuffed up a work. btw both paint are metalic....looks sweet in the sun.

thanks for all the compliments
