Where Can I Get A......? ...LED cover?

[CalamityJan]

Lost the little white LED (ash) cover on one of my 510 batteries. Where can I get a replacement without paying full shipping for such a teeny part? In lieu of replacement of original part, is there a "southern engineering" fix for covering light?

Just yesterday I saw a post on these forums about using the little 'condom' cover that comes on the end of new carts for this exact purpose.

if you have any cartomizers, use the condom cover. otherwise you can probably find a clear tubing endcap at a local hardware store.

It's listed under 'Tips and Tricks': Battery Light Cover

Thanks everyone. I am using a cart condom but it looks kinda bulky. Took your advice and checked "Tips and Tricks" where the crystal bead idea sounds interesting. If I can't buy an OEM, gonna start scavaging junk drawers to create a unique makeover.

I just read a post where I member mentioned that the mouth tip from a cartomizers fit perfectly into the end of the battery. I tried it and it worked perfectly to me.

I also took some 320 sandpaper and roughed up the end of the mouth piece and then hit it with a Black Sharpie marker. It looks great.

batteries dont last forever, just be more careful with you next one.

Someone posted months ago about using one of the gems for a Bedazzler to replace the end cap. It looked really cool too.

The next day that is just what I did. Found a blue flat translucent stone in the junk jewelry box and glued it on. It eventually past into the battery graveyard... but sure went with style!

Thanks for all the suggestions; hopefully the next one who loses their tip wil benefit from all the advice.
