Is it safe to paint or engrave a mod or an eGo?

[Morrighian]

I've looked for a pretty ego battery or a mod, but haven't found the perfect match.
I was wondering can you safely paint or engrave an ego? Painting shouldn't be a problem as it shouldn't get hot, right?

The light engraving is something I'm more concerned about.

I did buy a vamo v3 and it's close to perfection, but does a paint+varnish cause an issue or a hazard?

Seeing as most have a chrome coating over brass case I'd think you'd be able to.
A jeweler should be able to carefully etch something onto it(?)

Lol or a temp tattoo labeled on it?

Maybe give us an idea of what you are looking for and others can help you find it.

As long as you keep the paint off the contacts and out of the switch and electrical stuff I don't see why it would be a problem. Engraving should be O.K. also, just don't put holes in the tube.

Yes, absolutely.

The case holds the lithium cell(s); when you get to those, stop. (They're metal cased too, under the wrapper).

I wouldn't engrave it, since there is no way to remove the battery, but there is a lot you can do with paint, stickers and fabric. Check out some examples here (as you go through the pages you will find they aren't all pink):

The evic in my picture in a unique diamond etched peace won it at a give away in Europe once I won immediately people offered me 1,000-1,200 euro for it. So yes you can safely engrave your mods .... I suggest it's done professionally and if you can obviously remove the battery before hand because you don't want the heat or heat preventative measures to compromise your battery. If not notify the artist before hand to take a safe preventative course .

Ok, thanks for the info.

The engraving that I had in mind would be very light and it wouldn't go too deep. I don't have anything special in mind right now, I didn't want to plan before I knew if it is safe or not.

Go for it. You wont hurt anything by painting or engraving it.

I took one of my Ego 650 batteries and painted it with glitter nail polish. Worked like a charm. Now it has more of a grip to it. Good luck & VAPE ON
