Here's the UGLIEST mod...

8-o

No batteries! The power cord was $3 at RadioShlack 4.5v, 1.6a. Tons of vapor. Ugly, but its comfortable, dang nabbit! That's Magic Putty!

note: I should add that Magic Putty, for those of you who might not know, is basically JB Weld--2-part mold-able epoxy that starts like clay but cures rock-hard in an hour or 2.

 

[QueenInNC]

Wow! lol Does it work well?

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Ya, that's not very purdy at all. lol

 

[mjp808]

Works great. Definitely runs a little hotter than a battery, but that just means thicker vapor.

It's an ergonomic eyesore, alrighty! I'm going to dress it up--I'll keep you posted.

You're right, you win!

Hey, it's like an orthopedic shoe...

It's only ugly if you're not wearing it!

Great mod, I would paint it to look like a rock. I'm glad someone finally found a good use for magic putty!

Custom fit for comfort

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder

Something that looks like a blasting cap stuck in a hunk of C4, with a big red button.

I'll give you a dollar if you hop on an airplane with that ;-)

cool though, nice job ;-)

 

[cucurucho]

If I were ever to get around to making a mod, I suspect it would look an awful lot like that!

So.... does it bounce?

 

[The Wiz]

Should have used "Silly Putty" then it would bounce!The Wiz!

Looks like the case melted

I'll give him $50 to do it with a friend videotaping the whole thing.

I assume that this is molded to fit your hand? What is the casing made from?

I think your ugly mod is great, you should call it fuggly.
it works, that is all that matters......
by the way,
where are you......
well done Di .....

function > aesthetics

Totally looks like C4 & caps! I should make a gopher-shaped one like Caddyshack.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I used an entire stick of Magic Putty, sandwiched the pieces, and squeezed it into my palm and let it cure--it feels really good. The atomizer and cartridge is from my first Smoking Everywhere Kit, I had to shim-up the cartridge to fit a bigger wick reservoir. I totally slopped it together, I just wanted it to work.

The cool part about this project is the power source. I lucked out on that clearance adapter--it seems like the perfect v/a. Once I make a prettier version, it will be a great "desktop" e-smoker. I think I will go check out a few head shops for ideas/parts. I live in San Francisco, there's plenty of 'em

The Hard-Wired Eye-Sore, a.k.a. Fuggly--I like it!

FYI, while I was at Radio Shlack, I came across Part #274-1582 or #274-1583, Panel-Mount Size "M" or "N" Coaxial Power Jack. The DSE901 atomizer screws on to it perfectly.

 

[Spikey]

Maybe you should "bedazzle" it.. it would be prettier... but less functional.

 

[krewblink]

I say you stick with Fuggly. Haha

 

[jcgearhart]

Instant Classic!

The Juicebox.
The Magmun.
The Fuggly.

ah function over form. Good work you win...for now lol
