O-Rings for scratch protection and grip.

[Tbev]

The first time I set my shiny new Vamo v3 down on the counter I was hoping that it wasn't scratched when I picked it up. Then I got my ProVari and thought the same as well as I didn't want to clink it down and shake the brain inside. Additional if you set your mod down in a puddle or spill anything, water, juice, beer etc. The O-Rings will hold it up just high enough to keep it out of the mess.


I went to Lowes and grabbed a couple rubber O-Rings for like 77 cents and I've been rocking them ever since. They don't seem to rub off the finish on either mod, which was my initial concern, and they also work nicely to grip your fingers.

I'm pretty happy with the outcome. What do you guys think?

Great idea..... got to keep those nice toys scratch free and looking good!!!

Great idea except I'm sure I would lose the o-rings in about 5 minutes.

That's what I thought too but I haven't lost one yet. They fit in the grooves on the Vamo and my ProVari. They may move a bit but they actually stay better than I thought.

Hey, nice cosmetic fix. Wouldn't have thought of it myself. This is what is great about vaping, the inginuity of some being shared with others =)

My only concern would be the possibility of the device rolling on the newly-created "wheels".....!!!
Looks like the o-rings raise the mods up off the surface to keep the buttons from acting as a "foot-brake"....
Or....am I over-reacting???

Love this idea.

I also thought of this but was thinking of contrasting orings in a different colors. Like red orings on my black Provari mini.

I imagined it with thinner orings. More for grip and looks than as something that would keep it out if spills. I didn't give much thought about it now being on whells and would roll easier. That is a concern.

Nice job. Makes yours unique!

imho a silicon sleeve would be much less obtrusive and bulky on an otherwise beautiful vape. not sure where to find one the correct size but it would be similar to this and you can just trim off the desired width ‘ring’.

Yeah I like that too but I think dirt grime may get into a slave and cause more scratches. I thought it would roll but it doesn't too much, it does a little but nothing more than it normally would. You can put one on at a slight angle and it won't roll also, thicker Orings equal more ground clearance thinner will allow your button to hit n stop roll. I prefer thicker so my button stays clear of any spillage. If your mod still rolls to much you can Grove flat spots onto the rings w a razor or a lighter...

An alternate thought:



That's a piece of anti-slip stair tread. Self adhesive. Should be available at most hardware stores. Adds a little to the 'anti-roll' and a lot to the friction while holding it in you hand..

^^^ for my eGo, not the Caravela

i'll find something appropriate soon enough, but you and OP have the right idea. i'd like flat and removable.

I like it, Tbev, and that may just give enough of an edge in case of a fall to a hard surface.
