Incredible Design Bapgood. Huge thanks to all involved.
The hardest part for me was the dang spray painting. Still not to happy with the finish. A few somewhat clouded areas. A couple ripply spots.
All in all, it really isn't that bad.
I LOVE THIS THING
Tibs,
Mine and my neice's mods ended up a single color, but Lisa is going to swirl hers. Flourescent pink and lime green, I think. I will post pics after they are thoroughly dry. I have had to touch up one mod three times because the breeze was knocking it off the hanger.

I did attempt a swirl on mine, but I thinned the silver too much and I ended up with a green mod with a silver sheen. It sounds cooler than it looked. I covered it with a metallic emerald green. It came out so good I left it that way.
after many hours of quality vaping... went to plug in the charger. light was on and all was well. looked away for a minute and looked back to see the charge light turned off. was thinking, "no way is it charged already, that was like five minutes." picked up the mod to find some paint stuck to the desk. i think my charging board got the magic smoke let out of it. i'll check it out in more depth tomorrow.
edit: decided to say screw the suspense. took off plate and removed battery tray. appears as though one of my solder joints gave and had some + to - intimacy around the charging board. dna is intact. charging board is.... well done.

woohoo, dunder!
fyi! as of right now posting those tiny, ecf-hosted pics is no longer allowed! we want to see!
please, please, take your masterpieces to tinypic.com, imgur or photobucket! they deserve it!
Tinypic works for me. Takes something really, really tiny and makes it huge.
They even enlarge nightmares.
uh, welcome back Mike.

why-oh-why have I continued trying to solder without flux?
I have flux but didn't use it. Below is what I use for all connections. Made sure I tinned the iron tip prior to each use.
I like Kester brand "SOLDER NO-CLEAN 28AWG 63/37".
The 63/37 ratio solidifies quicker so I am less likely to move the wire while it cools. The 60/40 ratio takes long to solidify, increasing the chance of clumsy me moving it while it is still in the liquid phase thus creating a cold solder joint.

You could do a Cerakote clear after your paint and clear. It's pretty dang hard!!!

I need to make this switch as well as using alcohol to remove any unwanted flux after the soldering process
