Done. Unfortunately it doesn't cover the high wear areas like the edges, so the bare metal is still showing in some areas. Install was easy. Cleaned with alcohol, wiped a few times with a dry rag, applied the precuts.
You will need a steady hand and follow the lines of the mod. I had to cut out the portion of sticker that was directly under the tank as its thickness was causing my tank not to connect with the 510.
It matches my VTC batteries green perfectly. Now I need to paint the buttons.
The texture is semi slick, I feel like it added a little grip, which is good. The spare tank precut i ordered matches in color, but the flame pattern is much more dense so it won't match the overall pattern of the mod. I'll probably wrap my spare stainless tank ( @cindycated ) and see how it looks with the clear glass.
Only negatives are the edges of the precuts. You can feel them and ultimately I feel like they will start catching and peel. Time will tell. For 8.00 ,free shipping, and they arrived in a timely fashion it's a win.

Looks awesome
i said i was going by the printing on the coil housing. as far as i know (with the older and newer coil heads that i own) the older coil heads with less printing on the housing had horizontal coils and the newer heads with more printing on the housing have vertical coils. sorry if my input was of no help to you.
Oops, scratch what I just said...
A store had the Nano and posted a pic in black, but it was a trick.

its not a trick.... the Nano kit will be coming out in pink, purple, and black
There is a black version. I guess they realized that pink and purple may not fit every style. I wish they would release a full stainless mini.Oops, scratch what I just said...

Agreed.
All Kanger needs to do is release spring-loaded Subox kits in a variety of colors (ss, red, black, white) and they'll continue to sell out. They're sitting on a winner and wasting valuable time.
I agree, but I'm afraid quality would go south like anything you try to produce to quickly. Maybe there's a reason they went fixed pin?
Probably space constraints. It takes a tiny bit more room to integrate the springy thingy.
this is probably why.
IPV Mini has a spring loaded 510, but its almost 1/2" taller as well
Pre-order...ships "after 9/5"....code GBEOD7 => $29.99 w FREE shipping

Grewat work, that looks really nice. I'll be honest that is one of the best jobs applying a skin to that device I've seen.
Thank you! I guess those years in the 80s collecting stickers and plastering them all over payed off. It's not perfect, but close enough.
Just did my spare V1. My phones camera is absolutely broken, but here it is.
