Wow - Willy and asdaq - where did you find those? I've been looking for inspirations like those for about a year....
Are those on the German site? I might have to register...

Google images :steampunk usb. Just steampunk will get you there too, seems that thumbdrives drive people the most. I like mine for looks, but it wouldn't be fun to hold, WB's is better for that. I'd say rust goes a bit too far though

steampunk usb - Google Search

edit: mine as in 'the one I posted' not that it is 'mine'.

Most of the steam punk stuff is custom modded. Its part of the steam punk craze.

I've been meaning to try a steampunk e-cig mod one day. Just haven't had the time.

I went with the copper pipe for speed of build. I still have to decide on a finish tho.

That looks great !...where did you get the threaded copper pipe and threaded end caps?

 

[roadrash]

Unfortunately getting any kind of finish to stick to copper is very difficult, plus you need something that is wear and e-liquid resistant.


Verdigris is the common name for the a green pigment you speak of, unfortunately due to the handling our mods get it never has a chance to form or remain.

Ends up like this. Doesn't look pretty to me.

Willy, Beauty is in the eye of the holder.

Roadrash, could you go into some detail of why that is a 10" shlong? Im curious is that a RIT or some tjf under the atty?

It started out as a reg 18650 1200mah tuber.
then I then I extended it for a 18650 2600 mah bat . Then a 5v ti booster on top of that. then I extended one more time for a 3mil juicer feeder on top of that all in the tube.

On the top is a kinda like the suckaton that I did in a carto body. then a carto and tip.

I used the 3\4 copper connectors so I can reshape the mod as needed. Like a transformer.

I sweat fitted the 510 connector on top. and I used an abortive led flashlight mod bottom kill switch for a kill switch.

Looks like you like 'em big too.

Come on to my next vapers meeting, got someone for you to meet.

My copper also became my test bed for liquid top feed.

Do note e-liquid will eventually break the bond of hot glue.

 

[roadrash]

Weeeeeee, Doggieeeeeees. Baby got back

 

[asdaq]

Roadrash, you've got a lot going on in there, something about a carto feeding a carto just gets me

There's a product called "ProtectaClear" that you can coat copper, brass, etc. It will keep it from tarnishing and is safe to handle. It can be used on jewelry. I haven't tried it yet but I would like to get some to treat my Copper. It's about 20 bucks for a kit. Look up "Everbrite" and you should be able to find it. If I do get some, I report my findings here on the ECF. Thanks....
